Input Fault

The input fault node is an end point in the request and response flows. It returns a fault message as a response to the source operation. In a request flow, you can use the fault response in certain conditional situations.

For example if an input error is detected, a fault message can be returned immediately to the source without invoking the callout. A fault response node has an input terminal for each fault defined on the operation.
