Moving Files after workflow has ran

Hi community,

 

i have a workflow that moves files after it has ran but i need to do this only when the workflow has no errors...

 

when i use the events, it wont move the files at all as it says 'too many posts made to a sophmore'

 

i got the moving of file to work in the run command tool, was just wondering how i would get this tool to behave in the same way by moving the files only after an error has occurred ?

 

thanks !

Do you think that the error is no problem?
And even if so, is it possible to rework the workflow so that no errors occur?

 

If that's difficult, I think that it is difficult to use Events.

 

If you can detect that there are no errors just before the Command Line Tool, you can use the Message tool.
For example, if there are zero data just before the Command Line tool, Message tool will stop the data as occuring an error.

 

If you don't know what to use the Message tool, I may help you.
