Terminate End Event

Introduction

Triggers the immediate termination of a process instance. All steps still executing in parallel branches are terminated.

Properties

General

Attribute	Type	Description	Category
Model Id	Text	Model Id identifies the element within the process model.	The model id, name and documentation properties can be found on any element. They are used respectively to uniquely identify the end event, to give the end event a user-friendly name and to add a free-form description.
Name	Text	The name of the element. This is the name displayed in the diagram.
Documentation	Multiline Text	A free-form text that can be used to explain details about the particular element.
Terminate all	Boolean	Terminate all.	When a terminate end event is reached, the current process instance or sub-process will be terminated. Conceptually, when an execution arrives at a terminate end event, the first scope (process or sub-process) will be determined and ended. Note that in BPMN 2.0, a sub-process can be an embedded sub-process, call activity, event sub-process or transaction sub-process. This rule applies in general: when, for example, there is a multi-instance call activity or embedded sub-process, only that instance will end, the other instances and the process instance are not affected. There is an optional attribute terminateAll that can be added. When true, regardless of the placement of the terminate end event in the BPMN process model and regardless of being in a sub-process (even nested), the (root) process instance will be terminated.

Advanced

Execution

Attribute	Type	Description	Category
Asynchronous	Boolean	When enabled, the activity will be started as an asynchronous job. The process state is persisted before this element is executed. Then, the process execution will be resumed asynchroneously. This can be used when the execution an activity takes a long time to return the UI to the user quicker in case the user does not need to see the next step immediately. However, if an error occurs before the following wait state, there will be no direct user feedback. Please refer to the documentation for more details.	When making a terminate end event asynchronous, the current sub-process or process instance will be ended asynchronously in the background. Choose exclusive to avoid other asynchronous steps of this process instance to run at the same time.
Exclusive	Boolean	Determines whether the activity or process is run as an exclusive job. An exclusive job makes sure that no other asynchronous exclusive activities within the same process are performed at the same time. This helps to prevent failing jobs in concurrent scenarios.
Leave asynchronously	Boolean	When enabled, the activity will be left as an asynchronous job. This means that the activity is ended asynchronously, including end execution listeners. Please refer to the documentation for more details.
Leave exclusive	Boolean	Determines whether the activity should leave as an exclusive job. An exclusive job makes sure that no other asynchronous exclusive activities within the same process are performed at the same time. This helps to prevent failing jobs in concurrent scenarios.
Job Category	Text	When set, the underlying generated job will have a Job Category, which will be executed only by Application Servers, where the Process Engine has enabledJobCategories set to this category.

Listeners

Attribute	Type	Description	Category
Execution listeners	List	Allows invoking custom after certain lifecycle events. Start: Executes after the activity has been started. End: Executes after the activity was completed. Transition: When defined on a sequence flow, executes once the flow is transition is taken.	Execution listeners are used to add logic on certain lifecycle events. Typically it is used to add extra technical logic which shouldn't be visible in the BPMN process model.

Visual

Attribute	Type	Description	Category
Font size	Selection: 8 9 10 11 12 14 18 20 24 36 48 72	Font size.	Visual properties that determine how the end event is shown in the diagram. This has no impact on the runtime execution.
Font weight	Selection: Normal Bold	Select the style between bold and normal.
Border color	Color	The border color of the element in the diagram.
Font style	Selection: Normal Italic	Select the style between italic and normal.
Font color	Color	Select a font color.
Background color	Color	The background color of the element in the diagram.

Execution listeners

Attribute	Type	Description
Event	Selection: Start End Take	The lifecycle event. The 'Take' event is only available for sequence flow.
Class	Text	Fully qualified classname of a class to be invoked when executing the task. The class must implement either JavaDelegate or ActivityBehavior.
Expression	Text	JUEL Expression to be executed when the task is started. Expressions allow you to interact with the backend by calling services, making calculations etc. You can find more information about expressions in the documentation.
Delegate expression	Text	Delegate Expression to be executed when the task is started. A delegate expression must resolve to a Java object, for instance a Spring bean. The object's class must implement either JavaDelegate or ActivityBehavior.
