Error Event in an Event-Subprocess

#1

Does BPMN allow to end an event-subprocess using an error-end event? Can there be a catching error event attached to an event-subprocess?

#2

You can’t attach an error event to an event-sub-process BUT you can throw an error event from an event-sub-process that will be caught by another event-sub-process.

Ok. The end event in the even subprocess should end the main process. I’m trying to avoid a termination event…

Something like this would do the trick

In this scenario - only the error event would actually cause the process to end. Is that what you’re trying to achieve?

Exactly. But still I don’t see that the second event subprocess actually causes the main process to end. In the diagram I only read the event subprocess ends. A boundary error event could have a sequence flow to the major end event.

#6

The event sub-process which starts with an end event is an interrupting event sub-process. So as soon as the “catch end process error” start event is triggered it will stop all tokens that are running in the main process.

I see. Forgot about the interrupting event subprocesses.
Thank you - made my day!
