EBS "Stop processing if workflow fails"

Hi everyone

Can somebody tell me what this feature does?

Based on the description I was hoping that by activating it, I can tell vRA to stop execute the next workflow in case the previous one failed. Like for example:

BuildingMachine PRE - WF1, Blocking, Stop Processing checked, Priority 1

BuildingMachine PRE - WF2, Blocking, Stop Processing not checked, Priority 2

So if WF1 fails, I expected WF2 not to be executed and EBS going to Disposing PRE. In my tests it did not make a difference if "Stop processing if workflow fails" was checked or not. The behavior was always the same. If WF1 failed, it executed WF2, did not create the VM, executed all BuildingMachine POST WFs and went then to Disposing PRE.

Cheers

This is a new parameter in vRA 7.5. I don't see it super useful, and it may be a bug anyhow. Apply HF1 to see if that makes a difference. What's important is if your subscription is blocking or not.

I tried enabling it on some subscriptions in vRA 7.5 Hotfix 4 and I don't see any effect...

Is there anything special to do on the vRO workflow maybe ?
