Configure throw error workaround
In some cases, you may want to forcibly stop the scenario execution followed by Rollback or Commit phase, or to stop the processing of a route and optionally store it in the queue of incomplete executions.
Currently, the error handling directives cannot be used out of the scope of an error handler route, and Adobe Workfront Fusion does not offer a module that would enable you to easily conditionally generate (throw) errors.
You can use the following workaround to mimic throw error functionality.
For information on incomplete executions, see View and resolve incomplete executions in Adobe Workfront Fusion.

Workaround for throw
To conditionally throw an error, you can configure a module to make it purposely fail during its operation. One possibility is to employ the JSON > Parse JSON module, configured to optionally throw an error (BundleValidationError in this case):
You can then attach one of the error handling directives to the error handling route:
- Rollback: Force the scenario execution to stop and perform the rollback phase.
- Commit: Force the scenario execution to stop and perform the commit phase.
- Ignore: Stop the processing of a route.
- Break: Stop the processing of a route and store it in the queue of incomplete executions folder.
The following example shows the use of the Rollback directive:
