Signature

Force-Terminate Exception Handling Pattern

Classification

Exception Pattern

Intent

The intention is to terminate the process instance if a deadline/timer exception occurs.

Motivation

Handle timeout exception.

Applicability

The token is assigned to an activity. When the timeout exception occurs, the process flow from the Boundary Catch Timer Event to the Terminate End Event.

Implementation

Check the process state diagram. It has a sequence flowing from the TBE to terminate C & D (Terminate End Events). This sequence is to demonstrate the process flows when a timeout happens at the TBE. If the TBE is a noninterrupting timer, the process instance gets terminated when the timer expires. This holds true even if the TBE is an interrupting timer.
