Failure Events

Hi,

 

I just realized that any failure of process execution (for e.g.
selectionFailure) doesn't throw the ActivityFailureEvent event. But
instead it throws the process completion event. As a result of this I am
not able to capture Process Failure. Any idea when the failure event is
thrown?

 

Thanks & Regards

Got it Tammo. Many thanks for the info. So if an instance has failed and
completed, I then need to get its failure count if I want to know
whether it was completed due to a failure or due to the normal course of
action. Thanks.

Yea the term failure was the one which mislead me to the assumption that
selectionFailure would throw ActivityFailureEvent.

Thanks 
Dhanush

Hi Dhanush,

the ActivityFailureEvent is fired when an activity enters a failure and
needs manual recovery. Note that there is a difference between Faults
and Failures. Faults are expected exceptions, like declared SOAP faults,
or the BPEL standard faults like selectionFailure (yes, the term failure
is a bit misleading here). Failures on the other side are unexpected
exceptions like a connection reset, timeout, etc. In this case the
activity cannot complete properly (not even with a fault) so that it
enters the failure state and can then be recovered manually via the PM
API.

HTH,
