Fault (Activity)

• Purpose: To explicitly signal a fault or error condition within a workflow execution path.
  
  
• Functionality: The "Fault" activity is used to indicate that an error or exception has occurred during workflow processing. When a "Fault" activity is executed, it typically:
• Halts the Current Workflow Path: Stops the normal execution flow along the current path.
• Raises an Exception or Fault Signal: Signals to the workflow engine that a fault has occurred.
• Error Handling Mechanisms: Triggers any configured error handling mechanisms, such as fault handlers, compensation logic, or workflow termination procedures.
• Error Information (Potentially): May allow you to specify error details or messages to be associated with the fault.
  
  
• Use Cases:
• Explicit Error Handling: Implementing explicit error handling logic within workflows to gracefully manage exceptions and failures.
• Signaling Business Rule Violations: Using "Fault" to indicate that a business rule or validation has failed during workflow execution.
• Workflow Exception Management: Controlling how workflows respond to errors and ensuring proper error reporting and recovery.
