Hi @anupgupta12 ,

there are tools out there written by some of the users, but the easiest way to explain this is to wrap the process in a macro, then create your logic, then feed the logic into the macro as a control parameter and use this to switch containers on and off. 

The output will be in a container, if there are no records (record count=0) then switch container off.

You can also look at the Message tool, which allows you to stop the workflow if a certain logical check fails. However, this will fail your workflow with an error, but will stop the processing.

Can you share a workflow?

Hi @anupgupta12,

For the first question - See attached example, it can probably be what you are looking for.

1/ Block until Done tool

2/ Combined with Message tool

3/ Workflow configuration -> Cancel Running on Error

For the second question, put a filter at the end of your workflow looking for the value you want, and an output tool on the TRUE.  

Example:

hope it helps!

cheers!
