Abstract
Various implementations are disclosed for designing a process model that includes a task, the task associated with a potential suspension, e.g., in response to an error or other exception. At least one suspension task may be provided in parallel with the task to form a parallel combination thereof within the process model. A first control task, e.g., an AND split task, may be provided prior to the parallel combination, and a second control task, e.g., a synchronize/merge task, may be provided subsequent to the parallel combination, the first control task and the second control task configured to activate and join, respectively, the task and the at least one suspension task during execution of the process model.
