When a microflow runs, it can encounter problems. For these
situations, compensation might have been defined for the BPEL process
in the process model. Compensation allows you to undo previous completed
steps, for example, to reset data and states so that you can recover
from these problems. Undo actions are only necessary for activities
that perform actions which do not participate in the transaction of
the microflow.
Before you begin
For microflows to be compensated, the compensation service
must be started in the administrative console.
About this task

administrator must intervene to resolve the problem.
