Job Chain question

Question

Hi,
i want to schedule a job chain.
I 've created 4 chain steps.
The first perform an action and the second must be executed only if the first completed successfully.
The third must be executed only if the second ends successfully, etc.
The Chain_rule_2 is
CHAIN_STEP_1 Completed and CHAIN_STEP_1 SUCCEEDED
The chain_rule_3 is
CHAIN_STEP_2 Completed and CHAIN_STEP_2 SUCCEEDED
But the job is actually running because there isn't an end steps (I suppose).
End step must be done if all steps works fine or if only one failed.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

You can add rules in Chains:
Chain rules define when steps run, and define dependencies between steps. Each rule has a condition and an action. Whenever rules are evaluated, if a rule's condition evaluates to TRUE, its action is performed. The condition can contain Scheduler chain condition syntax or any syntax that is valid in a SQL WHERE clause. The syntax can include references to attributes of any chain step, including step completion status. A typical action is to run a specified step or to run a list of steps.
All chain rules work together to define the overall action of the chain. When the chain job starts and at the end of each step, all rules are evaluated to see what action or actions occur next. If more than one rule has a TRUE condition, multiple actions can occur. You can cause rules to also be evaluated at regular intervals by setting the evaluation_interval attribute of a chain.
Conditions are usually based on the outcome of one or more previous steps. For example, you might want one step to run if the two previous steps succeeded, and another to run if either of the two previous steps failed.
Scheduler chain condition syntax takes one of the following two forms:
stepname [NOT] SUCCEEDED
stepname ERROR_CODE {comparision_operator|[NOT] IN} integer
You can combine conditions with boolean operators AND, OR, and NOT() to create conditional expressions. You can employ parentheses in your expressions to determine order of evaluation.
