Compensate not running for failing task

SGarofalo · January 18, 2018, 1:39pm

Hi

I have the following bpmn

When bookFlight fails, only reserveCar compensation is executed.

Is there any way for the compensation for bookFlight to also run when compensations are triggered?

Thanks!

the compensation is called for completed tasks only: https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.8/reference/bpmn20/events/cancel-and-compensation-events/#compensation-boundary-event

I assume, that book flight throws the error, so it is not completed (and can not be compensated).

Hope this helps,

Ingo

I was thinking in the case for instance BookFlight calls a remote server and then lost connectivity and gets a timeout, or there is an issue processing the response.
But maybe I can catch the error, respond to it as needed and then throw the error for the rest of the tasks to compensate.

Thanks

Hello,

I’m facing the same issue as described where a service task calls a remote service but fails afterwards.
The compensation does not occur and the change in the remote service is not rolled back.

Any tips to solve this?
