Start Error Event Activity

The Start Error Event activity enables the capture of specific named errors within a process. It functions exclusively when deployed within an event sub-process, providing a structured mechanism for error handling.

Field Description Requirement
Error reference Specifies the unique name of the error to be caught by this event. Required
Interrupting Determines whether the execution of all parent processes is terminated upon catching the error. Optional

Action Types & Examples

Error Reference Configuration

  • Format: string
  • Example Result: myProcessError

Interrupting Behavior

  • Format: boolean
  • Example Result: true

Implementation Examples

Field Setup - Error reference: OrderProcessingFailed - Interrupting: true

Execution Parameters - Error reference: DatabaseConnectionError - Interrupting: false

Technical Notes

This activity is designed to operate solely within an event sub-process, ensuring encapsulated error handling. The specified Error reference must precisely match the name of an error thrown by a 'Throw Error' activity or similar error-generating mechanism within the process scope. Setting Interrupting to true will halt all active parent process instances, whereas false allows parent processes to continue while the event sub-process handles the error.
