Assign

The Assign activity allows you to assign a value to a

user-defined process variable. When the Assign activity
is executed, the entire schema for the selected process
variable is replaced with the specified values.

Call
Process

The Call Process activity calls and executes an existing

process definition. The input to the called process is
defined in the Start activity of the called process. The
output of the called process is defined in the End
activity of the called process.

Catch

The Catch activity receives control of execution when

an unhandled exception occurs. You can select a
specific exception type to catch or you can specify that
this activity should catch all unhandled exceptions. You
can have more than one Catch activity in each
exception scope, but each Catch activity must have a
unique exception type.

Checkpoint

The Checkpoint activity performs a checkpoint in a

running process instance. A checkpoint saves the
current process data and state so that it can be
recovered at a later time in the event of a failure.
