I have nested chains (one main chain calls a number of other chains in sequence). If there is any failure in any chain, I need the entire process to stop.

I don't know how to signal back to my main chain that one of the chains that it calls has failed. Failure is indicated by a bad exit code from one of the tasks in the called chain or the existence of the word "fatal" in a text search task that runs at the end of each called chain.

Right now, if a called chain fails, the failure does not seem to be returned to the main chain, so it continues on with the entire sequence of sub-chains.

After each sub chain step you can add a variable monitor task. this should monitor the value of the Text search task exit code
$%text_search_task_title::ExitCode%$

if exit code = -100 then the text is found.. and you can go to step 100 ..i..e exit the main chain
