Camunda event processing.

[Vladimir]

Hello, everyone.


We would like to use Camunda platform to describe and evaluate processes handling message events.
And we have a question about message event handling.

The case is:
We have an Service Task and a Message event. The Message event goes immediately after the Service Task.
The Service Task triggers an message that is received by the Message event. What happens if the message arrived before
the Message event subscription is done? A message will be missed? If so, is there any way to prevent it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Vladimir,

does your process looks like:

When the service task send the message event, the intermediate message catch event can not catch the message event since the activity is not arrived. 

There are different ways to prevent it, depending on your use case:

• change the process so that you first wait for the message (e.g. parallel gateway)
• implement a buffering for messages

Please descripte your use case so that I can help you more.

Greetings,

Philipp
