MQSeries.net :: View topic - How to add a Fault Handler to BPEL Human Task

rebecca

Hi All,

We want to convert our 'stand-alone' human tasks to 'in-line' ones. The processes are created in Modeller Version: 6.0.2.000-c-advanced Build id: bltModeler602@blt061219a and then imported into WID 6.0.2 FP6 on WinXP Pro Service Pac 2

We need to be able to model timeouts on a human task. With 'stand-alone' this was working fine by defining a fault handler on the BPEL invoke for the human task to catch Timeout exceptions and assigning a value to a string within a StandardFault business object whenever the expiration duration attribute for a human task was reached.

With 'in-line', although we can now define a Timeout expiration attribute we cannot find how to define a fault on the BPEL human task to capture the timeout. Moreover, the toolkit issues a warning message saying a fault must be defined when a timeout is configured ; 'The expiration element is set for the activity 'Approve_InputCriterion'. Define an appropriate timeout fault handler.'

We have checked the documentation and this only talks about defining faults on invokes or scope activities ;

'A fault handler associates specific fault activities on either an invoke or a scope activity that will execute when a fault is thrown by the invoke activity or an activity inside the scope activity.'

Must we define our Human Tasks within a Scope Activity ? If so, is there a way for the scope activity to be created via our import from Modeller ? Otherwise it is going to be an manually intensive task to change all our human tasks to be within scope activities after we have imported all our processes from Modeller into WID.

Thanks in advance for your time.
