Faults
Faults are errors or failures that occur within a workflow while it is running.
Fault Scope Activity
The Fault Scope activity is used to contain activities in a subprocess that are likely to raise errors. If a fault is somewhat predictable, the Fault Scope activity can invoke preset resolutions that deal with the fault and permit the workflow to continue at the point immediately following the scope.
Add a fault scope activity to a subprocess
When you add a fault scope to a step in a workflow, you can define the fault handlers. To view the fault handlers, click Show fault handlers for this activity. To return to the normal activity flow for the fault scope, click Show activity sequence.
