Stop execution

Stops the processing of the current request: after a record reaches this component, no further component is called for any record that shares the same metadata instance. The flow itself keeps running.

Pins

Input	input	any	Arrival of a record stops its request.

Configuration

None besides the common settings.

Behaviour

• Sets the StopExecution flag on the record's metadata. From then on every attempt to call a next component with this metadata is skipped silently (no error).
• Components that are already executing finish their current work; only their further Next calls are skipped. This includes components upstream: for example a loop (Range, ForEach) or a branch that continues after this component returns will not call anything more for that request.
• Other requests (with their own metadata, e.g. a new HTTP request or a new Timer tick) are not affected.

Notes

• Typical use: after a filter or an If, end a request early without raising an error.
• Because metadata is shared along the request, stopping in one parallel branch also stops the other branches of the same request.
• For an HTTP listener, make sure a response has been sent before stopping, otherwise the client waits for a timeout.
• To end a request with an error instead, use the Error component.

Example

Http listener → If → (false) → Stop execution
