Manage stopped Business Process Choreographer events

Stopped events occur if a Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) instance encounters an exception and one or more activities enter the Stopped state. Use the failed event manager and Business Process Choreographer Explorer to manage stopped Business Process Choreographer events in any process state. You can view, compensate, or terminate the process instance associated with a stopped Business Process Choreographer event. In addition, you can work with the activities associated with the event, viewing, modifying, retrying, or completing them as appropriate.

Business Process Choreographer events might cause an activity to stop or the process instance to fail if they are not handled by the process logic. A failed event is generated when a long-running Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) process fails and one of the following events occurs:

The Recovery service does not handle failures from business process and human task asynchronous request and reply invocations.
