I need to handle error conditions in Output Parameter of Script Task. When there is any error in preparing output parameter, I want to terminate the flow the go to Error Boundary condition but it is not getting control and flow is terminating abruptly. Please suggest.
I can probably catch all errors in Output Parameter section and return some dummy value to Output Parameter and then put condition outside of the Script Task to terminate the flow. But its multi step process. What is the best way to handle this?
Here is my BPMN
