Failed event details (Business Flow Manager hold queue events)

(WebSphere Process Server only) Use the failed event details page to view or resubmit a single Business Flow Manager hold queue message and to access the Business Process Choreographer Explorer for further work with the message. A message is placed in the hold queue and treated as a failed event when it is damaged or the necessary processing infrastructure is unavailable.

In a long-running process, the Business Flow Manager can send itself request messages that trigger follow-on navigation. These messages trigger either a process-related action (for example, invoking a fault handler) or an activity-related action (for example, continuing process navigation at the activity). A navigation message always contains its associated process instance ID. If the message triggers an activity-related action, it also contains the activity template ID and activity instance ID.

To access this page in the console, click Integration Applications > Failed Event Manager , perform a search for recovered Business Flow Manager hold queue events, and click the name of a specific event listed in the Search Results page.

The failed event details page provides the event ID, type, and status, as well as information about the event's destination, time of failure, and any associated processes, process templates, and activities.

In addition to viewing a failed event's data, you can perform the following tasks from this page:
