Interrupt a Looping Operator

You can interrupt a looping operator by adding a stop link from another branch of the process.

Follow these steps:

1. Open and check out a process.
2. Create a link from an operator in an independent branch and attach it to a looping operator.
3. Right-click the link, and click Stop Link.

   The link appears as a dashed red line with a red stop symbol near the looping operator.

4. Click Save.

At runtime, the separate branch reaches the looping operator, and the following actions occur:

• The looping operator runs and completes itself.
• Any post-execution actions for the operator are performed.
• The now-merged processing from the two branches proceeds to the next operator in the process.
