Control Task

We can use the Control task to stop, abort, or fail the top-level workflow or the parent workflow based on an input link condition. A parent workflow or worklet is the workflow or worklet that contains the Control task. We can defined the condition to the link task connected to the control task.

The following table describes the options you can configure in the Control task:

Control Option	Description
Fail Me	The Integration Service fails the Control task if you choose this option.
Fail Parent	Marks the status of the workflow or worklet that contains the Control task as failed after the workflow or worklet completes.
Stop Parent	Stops the workflow or worklet that contains the Control task.
Abort Parent	Aborts the workflow or worklet that contains the Control task.
Fail Top-Level Workflow	Fails the workflow that is running.
Stop Top-Level Workflow	Stops the workflow that is running.
Abort Top-Level Workflow	Aborts the workflow that is running.
