Solution

There are several methods you can use to achieve this. Following are some of the options:

Use RaiseError for ContextRun method to terminate the On_Run_AnalysisProcedure event with an error message without executing further commands. This will abort the script with an error message that includes the error number and text specified in the script.
Use (external link) Python's syntax for raising exceptions to raise a ValueError. This will throw a ValueError exception with the error message text.
Use LogError for ContextRun method to create an error and mark the file in the Analysis Server as "failed," and include (external link) Python's system-specific function , sys.exit([arg]), to terminate and exit out of Python. The LogError method itself only logs the error and does not stop the script.
