How to fail messsages when timeout exception is thrown in BPM?

[Former Member]

Hi

In my BPM, if the time out exception is thrown in BPM, in SXMB_MONI, all the inbound messages' staus is 'processed sucessfully' ? How can I make the message fail? With a red flag or anything indicating exception?

In my design I used deadline branch to throw time out exception.And in the exception branch I used control step to cancel the process.

If this is what you have designed then increasing the timeout using the above mentioned blogs doesn't seem to be logical:) (BPM will throw the error when the deadline is meet....can't understand how by increasing timeout will help you)....instead of increasing the timeout you can increase the time limit mentioned in the deadline branch itself to ensure that your message will be processed in that particular time limit.

Since you have reached the timeout it means that desired message processing has failed so better you raise an alert instead of going for a increase in timeout....increasing timeout decreases performance...

Thank you for your reply DIvya.

So the only way to monitor this kind of timeout exception is to send alert ?

Or is there any other way?

Hi ,

Yes Brenda.

May be you can check these blog by Michal and increase the time out:

Hi Brenda,

I dont think this is possible.

Deadline in BPM will not shut down the sender communication channel, no matter what. It will mainly finish that particular program thread, but whenever a new message arrives, another instance will be created.
