Setting the Properties of An End Event

This topic describes the procedure to set the End event properties.

Every business process should have at least one End event. An End event has at least one incoming connector and does not have any outgoing connectors.

  1. Select a starting point and click (Business Process Model) to open an existing business process model.
  2. Double-click the End event activity in the business process modeling environment. Alternatively, right-click the End event and select Properties from the menu. The End Event Properties - End pane appears. Fore more information refer to End Event Properties Interface.
  3. Click the General tab and type a Description for the End event.
  4. Select the End Type to end the process.

    If you select...

    Then...

    Message

    Drag an activity output message or Process Specific Messages from Workspace Documents > <Solution> > <Project> tree on to the End event.

    Error

    Click the Error details tab, and type the error details.

    Rollback

    The process is rolled back.

    Note:

    • If a sub-process is rolled back, all Compensate activities defined in the sub-process are executed in a 'bottom to top' sequence.
    • If a sub-process includes a nested sub-process with Compensate activities defined, only this nested sub-process is rolled back.
    • A rollback from the Process Instance Manager is not possible.

    None

    The business process ends without a message, error, or rollback of the process.

    Terminate

    The business process is terminated.

    Abort

    The business process is aborted.

  5. Click the Monitoring tab to enable/disable monitoring and store recovery point for the activity.

    Note:
    This tab is visible only if the Trigger Type selected is Message or Error, or Rollback.

  6. Click the Error details tab, and type the Error Message and the Error Detail for the End event. To throw a custom error, you may add the below XML:
    <CustomErrors>
        <Error>
            <Code>101</Code>
            <Message>My Custom Message</Message>
            <Detail>My Custom Detail</Detail>
        </Error>
    </CustomErrors>
    
  7. Click the Annotation tab and type additional comments or notes on the End event, if any.

You have successfully set the properties of the End event.
