Section 2.4.8.1 (and Exception section in general) a. Business process failures may not be fully understood in the context of WS-Choreography, therefore I would indicate this is actually outside of the scope of WS-Chor. b. Suggest any further changes for error conditions be considered in the context of the submission by Steve Ross-Talbot and I. Thanks.
For part a This issue is not clear to us, request clarification within the context of the apr 3 cdl spec from orignator (monica). part b is banana calc and we already have work in progess.
clarification from Monica: I should clarify that my question was related to business failure not business process failure. This issue also relates to JJ Dubray's questions on state alignment. In business, if a business transaction fails a business contract/agreement governs that collaborative activity. If it fails each partner relinquishs any mutual claim established by business transaction. The CDL specification does discuss application failures could occur as a work unit in an exception block but no other reference is provided. Rules may exist that describe the criteria for a business failure outside of CDL. For example, a reject purchase order may signify a business failure. It would be up to the business agreement what occurs next - a new or revised purchase order, a decision by alternative means (i.e. a buyer in purchasing handles it) or a business failure (and no mutual claim as referenced above).
