Exceptions in the Workflow Definition
In a workflow definition, the possible object method exceptions are offered for selection as outcomes of the step. You can model subsequent steps that differ according to the exception that occurs.
You do not have to incorporate any of the exceptions into the modeling.
The system behaves as shown in the table below if an exception occurs at runtime:
In the workflow definition... |
The exception is defined for the object method as a ... | |
temporary error |
application error or system error | |
a subsequent step is modeled for the exception. |
The step has status completed and the modeled subsequent step is executed. | |
no subsequent step is modeled for the exception. |
The step is not yet completed. The associated work item retains the status in process and can be started again by its actual agent. |
Workflow and work item assume the status error. |
This table only applies to
dialog work items that a user can access via their Business Workplace.For
background work items the workflow system deals with the error handling. For further information, refer to Error Handling for Background Work Items.
