What it does
Immediately stops the entire process, ending every branch that is still running.
Use Terminate to halt a process from a specific path, such as after detecting an unrecoverable error or reaching a conditional branch where no further work should happen anywhere in the process.
When to use this vs End
| Situation | Use |
|---|---|
| Stop the whole process now, including any parallel branches still running | Terminate |
| Finish only the current branch and return its output while other branches continue | End |
Terminate is global: it ends the process instance regardless of what else is in progress. End is local to its branch.
Configuration
The Terminate node has no configuration. The node that should stop the process connects to its input handle.
Notes
- Terminate stops execution cleanly. It doesn't raise an error on its own.
- Any parallel branches still in progress are ended when the process terminates. Terminate should be connected only on paths where stopping all remaining work is the intended outcome.
