Implicit Termination Pattern

Classification

Termination Pattern

Intent

To end a process gracefully when no more activities/tasks/subprocesses need to be performed in the process.

Motivation

The process needs to end successfully, that is, when no remaining objectives are left to achieve in the process.

Applicability

End event.

Implementation

An implicit pattern is similar to an end event, where a process token gets completed for the process and the process instance is completed. This is the point where the last token gets terminated. This is termed as implicit termination, as the process token termination happens implicitly and is taken care of by the BPM process engine.

Known issues

NA (not available in the case of Oracle BPM as it directly supports this pattern).

Known solution
