Documentation Multiline Text

A free-form text that can be used to explain details about the particular element.

Activity reference Text

The activity related to the compensation event.

A compensation boundary event is used to attach a compensation handler to an activity. A compensation boundary event has a different activation policy from other boundary events: the compensation boundary event is activated when the activity it is attached to completes successfully. At this point, the corresponding subscription to the compensation events is created. The subscription is removed either when a compensation event is triggered or when the corresponding process instance ends.

Wait for completion Boolean

Determine if a throw compensation is performed synchronously or asynchronously.
