This task stops the current workflow process immediately. If the Abort task is in a subprocess, only that subprocess will abort its processes. These tasks can be used in automated (non-interactive) processes to stop the workflow in specific situations.
If the workflow is to be initiated again, the Administrator is required to stop and restart the workflow.
In this example, the Abort task is used to end the workflow if the D365 Auto-Load Import Data Transfer task fails.
