A.9. End Events
An End Event is a node that ends a particular workflow. It has one or more incoming Sequence Flows and no outgoing Flow.
A Process must contain at least one End Event.
During runtime, an End Event finishes the Process workflow. It might finish only the workflow that reached the End Event or all workflows in the Process instance depending on its type.
A.9.1. End Event types
A.9.1.1. Simple End Event
The Simple End Event finishes the incoming workflow (consumes the incoming token). Any other running workflows in the Process or Sub-Process remain uninfluenced.
Important
In JBoss BPM Suite, the Simple End Event has the Terminate property in its Property tab. This is a boolean property, which turns a Simple End Event into a Terminate End Event when set to
true.
A.9.1.2. Message End Event
When a Flow enters a Message End Event, the Flow finishes and the Event produces a Message as defined in its properties.
A.9.1.3. Escalation End Event
The Escalation End Event finishes the incoming workflow (consumes the incoming token) and produces an Escalation signal as defined in its properties, trigerring the escalation process.
A.9.1.4. Terminate End Event
The Terminate End Event finishes all execution flows in the given Process instance, that is, at the moment, one execution flow enters the end event, all execution flows in the Process instance are termninated and the Process instance becomes completed: if there are activities being executed, they are instantly cancelled. If a Terminate End Event is reached in a Sub-Process, the entire Process instance is terminated.
Note
If you are designing your Process in the Process Designer and you want to create a Terminate End Event, create a Simple End Event and define the
Terminate property in the Property tab of the Simple End Event as true.
A.9.1.5. Throwing Error End Event
The Throwing Error End Event finishes the incoming workflow (consumes the incoming token). Any other running workflows in the Process or Sub-Process remain uninfluenced.
Attributes
- ErrorRef
- reference code of the produced Error object
A.9.1.6. Cancel End Event
If a Process or Sub-Process finishes with a Cancel End Event, any compensations defined for the namespace are executed, and the Process or Sub-Process finishes as CANCELLED.
A.9.1.7. Compensation End Event
A Compensation End Event is used to finish a transaction Sub-Process and trigger the compensation defined by the Compensation Intermediate Event attached to the boundary of the Sub-Process activities.
A.9.1.8. Signal End Event
A Thowing Signal End Event is used to finish a Process or Sub-Process flow. When the execution flow enters the element, the execution flow finishes and a Signal identified by its SignalRef property value.
