flow error

Flow errors are error conditions that a flow execution encounter as it executes that prevents it from continuing. For example, the flow may reference a rule that is not found at runtime. This is considered a flow error (also known as a flow problem execution), and can arise from many different sources.

The system halts the progress of that flow execution and starts a flow named Work-.FlowProblems. This flow normally notifies a user named Administrator@org.com, where org.com is the organization of the user (requestor) who encountered the problem, and creates an assignment. Your application can override the standard activity Work-.ToProblemFlowOperator to designate a different operator as the recipient of these flow errors.

If you can fix the error through a change in the flow rule, by modifying a rule, or creating a new rule, the processing can resume.

Select > Processes and Rules > Processes > Flow Errors to access the flow errors in your current application.

Your organization can copy and override the FlowProblems flow and the ToProblemFlowOperator routing activity to meet your needs.

Consult the PDN article Use the FlowProblem flow to route and fix common flow problems for more information.
