Actions not getting cancelled on failed

[Legacy User]

Hi,

 

I have a situation where based on number comparison taking decision to proceed further on work flow. Flow is working as expected when comparison is true. but when number are not matching the further action are not getting cancelled that is my failed condition.

 

"Check for user/Session" is the action for comparing two numbers. if both are 0 then it will follow success path and if not equal to 0, then it will follow failed path. But on failed, the actions after extract loop is not getting cancelled  and it continue on "Send Invalid Objects Details Email" action  and not getting out from there.

 

Please find below snapshot for more details. If I am doing wrong, please suggest me.

Hi

If you look at the link between the flow to the "Send Invalid Objects Details Email" action you will notice that there is no dependency , but its only set the sequence of execution. Currently you can't set condition on link originate from a flow so even if the flow cancelled the next action will be execute.

In order to avoid this situation you can add a second link with failed condition from Check for user/Session action to Send Invalid Objects Details Email , meaning the action will be execute only when Check for user/session end with failed result and the flow completed or cancelled 

Hope this clear

Thanks

Jacky

I'd like to follow up with screenshots.

Flow is stateless. One of characteristics is following.

• A flow run is finished after all contained elements are evaluated.
  Flows - CA Release Automation - 6.2 - CA Technologies Documentation 

Flow is evaluated (not related if pass or fail), and then next action will be executed.

 

So, Jacky explained to add a path as required condition. And then, next action will be cancelled.

Using this example, if the condition is met, it follows the flow of the on passed, but if the condition is not met, the on failed do not work for me because it pauses.
If I execute a resume it logically follows the flow of the on passed.

What do I need to do so that in case 1 = 2 it follows the flow on failed?

Please can you help me ... thank you.

Hi Miguel, 
In order for the actions that are linked by a failed condition to run, the action must be configured to not "Pause on fail". This configuration option is a checkbox in the settings/properties tab of the action. 

I hope this helps. 
Kind regards,
Gregg
