Terminator activity properties

A terminator stage can be placed in a job sequence to ensure that the sequence is stopped cleanly if certain situations arise.

The Terminator Properties dialog box has a General page and Terminator page. It cannot have output links, and so has no Triggers page. The stage can have one input.

You can have multiple Terminator activities and can place them anywhere in the sequence. They are connected to other stages by triggers, which specify when a terminator will be invoked.

The terminator stage allows you to specify that stop requests be sent to all running jobs in the sequence (and optionally have the terminator wait for all jobs to finish), or that the sequence is aborted without sending stop requests. If you specify some final message text, this will be used as the text for the sequence abort message (this is in addition to the logging text on the General page, which is output when the activity starts). Do not enclose the message in inverted commas unless you want them to be part of the message.
