  • 1.  FE Workflow issue

    Posted Apr 10, 2021 04:00 AM
    Dear All,

    When it comes to FE Workflow, when a task within the workflow fails, the FE Workflow is marked as ENDED_OK. Also for the FE Workflow, there is no Time & Dependencies tab for the End Node. So if we are using the FE Workflow within another workflow the successive jobs continue even if the predecessor FE workflow fails.


    How do we ensure that in this case the FE Workflow itself is marked as ENDED_NOT_OK when the task/job within the FE Workflow fails?

    Regards
    Pothen

    What are your settings in the Attributes section?

    Here is a screenshot (sorry in German). I assume that the parent objects have "Always" as setting.

    Thanks .. I had almost forgotten about this setting. It gave the desired result.

    But just wondering why for FE Workflows there is no "Time & Dependencies" tab for the End node, while for the other workflows it is there?

    Are you using post conditions in your workflow? Post conditions can be set to "block" a workflow to prevent subsequent workflows from starting when there is a failure that should stop the flow.
