Rethrow

ActiveVOS Designer User’s Guide

Rethrow

The rethrow activity passes to the parent scope the fault that is originally caught by the immediately enclosing fault handler. The rethrow activity can be used only within a fault handler’s catch and catch all elements. The activity always throws the original fault data and preserves its type.

A rethrow activity is part of a default catch all fault handler. See Fault Handling for more information.
