    • Handling Faults

    • Handling Cancellations

    • Creating and Managing Transactions

    • Creating and Handling Compensations


    Lesson: Handling Faults
    • Throwing Exceptions in a Workflow

    • Overview of the Fault Handling Model

    • Defining Workflow-Level Fault Handler Activities

    • Defining Local Fault Handler Activities

    • Demonstration: Handling Faults


    Throwing Exceptions in a Workflow
    A workflow can throw an exception to indicate an
    exceptional condition in the workflow

    To throw an exception programmatically:


    • Create an exception object
    • Throw the exception by using a Throw or throw statement

    To throw an exception declaratively in a workflow:


    • Add a ThrowActivity to the workflow
    • Set the Fault or FaultType property
    Overview of the Fault Handling Model
    To handle exceptions in a workflow:
    • Add a FaultHandlerActivity to your workflow
    • Specify the exception type that the FaultHandlerActivity handles

    The workflow runtime engine catches exceptions and


    passes them to a FaultHandlerActivity asynchronously
    • The runtime exits the scope where the exception occurred
    • The runtime passes control to a FaultHandlerActivity, based on
    the type of the exception
    Defining Workflow-Level Fault Handler Activities
    To define a workflow-level fault handler activity:
    • Right-click the designer, and then click View Fault Handlers
    • Add a FaultHandlerActivity to the FaultHandlers list
    • Specify the FaultType property
    • Add child activities to process the exception
    Defining Local Fault Handler Activities
    You can define local fault handlers for a composite activity
    Demonstration: Handling Faults
    In this demonstration, you will see how to:
    • Throw an exception programmatically

    • Throw an exception declaratively in a workflow

    • Define a local fault handler

    • Define a workflow-level fault handler

    Lesson: Handling Cancellations
    • Overview of Cancellations

    • Creating a Workflow That Requires Cancellation Handlers

    • Handling Cancellations
    Overview of Cancellations
    What is cancellation?
    • The workflow runtime engine cancels a composite activity
    • Child activities in the composite activity are canceled before they
    have finished executing

    You can define a cancellation handler activity


    • Invoked when the workflow cancels a composite activity
    • Contains cleanup logic for the composite activity
    Creating a Workflow That Requires
    Cancellation Handlers
    You typically use cancellation handlers for the following
    activities:
    • ListenActivity
    • ConditionedActivityGroup

    ListenActivity ConditionedActivityGroup
    Handling Cancellations
    You can handle cancellation at workflow-level or locally

    Defining a
    workflow-level
    cancellation handler
    Defining a local cancellation handler
    for a composite activity
    Lesson: Creating and Managing Transactions
    • Overview of Transactions in Workflows

    • Defining a Transaction Scope

    • Configuring Transaction Options

    • Demonstration: Creating and Managing Transactions


    Overview of Transactions in Workflows
    A transaction is an atomic unit of work
    • Operations within the transaction succeed or fail atomically

    Characteristics of a transaction:
    • Atomicity
    • Consistency
    • Isolation
    • Durability

    Windows Workflow Foundation supports transactions


    • Define a scope to wrap transactional operations
    • If an error occurs in that scope, the workflow runtime engine
    rolls back the transaction
    Defining a Transaction Scope
    To define a transaction scope:
    • Add a TransactionScopeActivity to the workflow
    • Enclose activities within the TransactionScopeActivity

    Using TransactionScopeActivity:
    • You cannot nest TransactionScopeActivity activities
    • You must add the persistence service to the runtime engine
    Configuring Transaction Options
    Configure the following transaction options:
    • IsolationLevel
    • TimeoutDuration

    Isolation levels
    ReadUncommitted
    ReadCommitted
    RepeatableRead
    Snapshot
    Serializable
    Chaos
    Unspecified
    Demonstration: Creating and Managing Transactions
    In this demonstration, you will see how to:
    • Enclose activities in a transaction scope

    • Add the persistence service to support transactions

    • Verify that the transactional activities succeed or fail


    atomically

    Lesson: Creating and Handling Compensations
    • Overview of Compensation

    • Compensating Non-Transactional Functionality

    • Compensating Transactional Functionality

    • Demonstration: Creating and Handling Compensations


    Overview of Compensation
    A workflow can model a long-running business process
    • An error might occur after an earlier activity has completed
    • Completed activities must be undone

    Example of a workflow where compensation behavior is


    required:
    A customer purchases an item from a merchant

    The merchant debits money from the customer's credit card

    Later, the order is canceled because the item is discontinued

    The merchant must credit the money back to the customer


    Compensating Non-Transactional Functionality
    To compensate non-transactional functionality:
    • Add a CompensatableSequenceActivity to the workflow
    • Add activities to the CompensatableSequenceActivity
    • View the Compensation Handler in the designer
    • Add compensation behavior to the Compensation Handler

    Activities Compensation behavior


    Compensating Transactional Functionality
    To define a compensatable transaction scope:
    • Add a CompensatableTransactionScopeActivity
    • Add transactional activities to the scope
    • View the Compensation Handler in the designer
    • Add compensation behavior to the Compensation Handler

    Transactional activities Compensation behavior


    Demonstration: Performing Compensation
    In this demonstration, you will see how to:
    • Implement workflow activities that require compensation

    • Enclose activities in a compensatable transaction scope

    • Define compensation behavior

    • Verify that the workflow performs compensation when


    necessary

    Lab Review
    • Why does the CreateAppointmentWorkflow handle
    communication exceptions locally, but handle database
    exceptions at the workflow level?
    • When should you use a TransactionScopeActivity?
    When is CompensatableTransactionScopeActivity more
    appropriate?
