Purpose

• Finishes an order in a workflow. The order is considered being completed and is assigned the FINISHED state.
• FINISHED orders remain with their workflow and cannot transition from this state. They require user intervention to make them leave the workflow.
• Users have to cancel FINISHED orders, see JS7 - Order State Transitions

Purpose

• Fails an order in a workflow. The order halts and is assigned the FAILED state.
• FAILED orders remain with their workflow position and require user intervention to transition from this state.
• Users can resume, suspend and cancel FAILED orders, see JS7 - Order State Transitions

Workflow Instruction: Finish

Download workflow example: pdwFinish.json

Explanations:

• The workflow makes use of an If Instruction to check a previous job's return values. See JS7 - If Instruction for details how to add expressions to If Conditions.
• If the If Instruction evaluates to true then the Finish Instruction is executed. The order is then assigned the FINISHED state.
• When finishing an order then a message and a return code optionally can be added that specify the reason for finishing the order.
