Stop Interface

The Stop Interface algorithm allows you to stop the interface execution by comparing the query result with a predefined value.

 

The table below illustrates the example of this algorithm:

 

Query Example Compared Value Result

SELECT 'Users'

FROM SCHEMA

WHERE ISActive=

0

Stop the interface execution

 

In the example above the system will stop the interface, if no active users could be found in the schema.
