Introduction

The JS7 - Try / Catch Instruction is Fail Instruction can be used for the error handling in a workflow. If any job runs in the try block and failed due to any reason the catch block will execute otherwise it will skip the catch block. If the catch block will also fail then the order will be considered as failed. The folder 04_ErrorHandling contains the example for the try-catch. The four workflows are available with the different use cases for the try-catch:

The jdFail workflow will execute and fail due to the fail operation is used in the workflow. Even if all the jobs will execute successfully and the fail object is used at the end of the workflow the order will fail and complete the workflow.

Based on a condition that is checked with an If Instruction, an order is put to the failed state by use of the Fail Instruction. Users can resume the execution of a failed order or can cancel the order.

Workflow

The jdFail workflow deliberately fails due to the Fail Instruction that is used in the workflow. The If Instruction used in this workflow includes the expression $return_value_job1 > 0 that implements a check of an order variable. If the value of the order variable evaluates to true then the order has failed. Otherwise the order continues with the job nodes following the If Instruction.
