SUMMARY

Microsoft Exchange Server routing objects have six intrinsic actions:

AndSplit
Goto
New
OrSplit
Wait
Terminate

A Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) document describes the Terminate action as follows:

Action        Parameter   Description
Terminate     (None)      Ends the currently executing process instance.

This means that Terminate action ends the currently running process instance, takes no parameters, and can occur anywhere in your routing map.

However, these examples show different ways to use Terminate action:

Terminate 0   0

-and-

Terminate 0   1

What do these examples mean? What is the difference for the parameter 0/1 that is passed to the Terminate action?

MORE INFORMATION

This is a documentation error in MSDN. Terminate action can take one parameter: 0 (which is the same as the default no parameter) or 1.

The parameter

Terminate 0

-or-

Terminate 0   0

means that the routing ends the currently executing process instance.

The parameter

Terminate 0   1

means that the routing ends the currently executing process instance and deletes the currently running process instance from the folder where the message is posted for routing.
