2.2.8 Handle Workflow Execution Failures

Learn about the issues you may encounter, how to identify their causes, and how to work around them.

MicroTx Workflows is designed for enterprise orchestration scenarios where reliability and traceability are important. It supports long-running workflows, retries, task timeouts, workflow status management, idempotency, workflow execution search, and detailed execution views. You can inspect each workflow execution, view task-level details, review logs, and understand how data moved through the workflow. This helps teams diagnose failures, validate business outcomes, and maintain operational visibility across distributed applications.

For additional information, see Handling Workflow Errors in open-source Conductor documentation.

Topics

• Identify Failed Tasks in a Workflow Execution
  If a workflow execution fails, review the Timeline tab and status indicators to quickly locate failed tasks, then refer to the Summary or Task List tabs for more troubleshooting details.
• Specify a Failure Workflow
  Update the workflow definition to enter the name of the workflow that you want to trigger in case of any failure. Use failure workflows to perform clean up or other actions on failure.
• Handling Task Timeout Issues
  If a task times out, review the workflow execution details to identify the timed-out task and the reason for incompletion.
