Error Boundary Event

Error Boundary Events catch exceptions thrown inside a Task or Subprocess, stop the executions inside the Task or Subprocess, and redirects the executions of the process to recovery. From an Error Boundary Event, you can configure to resume the execution, or to end it once the error is fixed. A Task or Subprocess can have none, one, or multiple Error Boundary Events as long as the Exception Type is different from the others.

Important:

You can attach Error Boundary Events to Tasks or Subprocesses exlusively.

  2. Add activities to handle the error and link them to the Error Boundary Event.

  3. For the Exception Type property, select the type of the exception you want to handle.

  4. Optionally, select the canvas element of the error handling path and provide a value to the Label property. This helps you describe the error-handling operation.
