Stopping the progress of a running workflow

[MaheshkumarSundaram]

Hi @ralphhanna,

Are the below use cases achieveable?

Scenario 1:
Say, I have a service task named DoSomeService which would be configured in the appDelegate.ts. Now, during the processing of that service; an exception or an error occurs (a failure). Therefore, I don't want the workflow to progress from that point of failure. How do I stop the progress of the workflow programatically?

Scenario 2:
Say a scenario 1 occurs. Now someone fixes the problem manually. Now, would we able to retrigger the failed task DoSomeService to execute again and progress the workflow normally?

Scenario 3:
Provided the above scenarios can be achieved progromatically especially for service tasks, could we do the same things for other tasks?

This also closely aligns with a discussion we had previously (we didn't reach any definite conclusion with that yet)

Could you please give some clarifications on this? Thank you!

Yes, there are several ways to do this, the simplest way is to use conditional flow:

The service will have a try/catch and sets the item.data.ErrorCode to either 'Auto','Manual' or 'Abort'

Another option is to use Error Event or Escalate Event

Hi @ralphhanna,

Thank you for your example. These error codes would work for all the tasks right not just service tasks?!

Yes, but you have to set the value Sent from my iPhoneOn May 25, 2023, at 3:16 AM, Maheshkumar Sundaram ***@***.***> wrote: Hi @ralphhanna, Thank you for your example.
