When a microflow runs, it can encounter problems. For these situations,
compensation might have been defined for the process in the process model.
Compensation allows you to undo previous completed steps, for example, to
reset data and states so that you can recover from these problems.
Before you begin
For microflows to be compensated, the compensation service must be
started in the administrative console.
Why and when to perform this task
If a compensation action for a microflow fails, the process administrator
must intervene to resolve the problem.
In Business Process Choreographer
Explorer, complete the following steps to administer failed compensation actions.
Steps for this task

Compensations under Process Instances in the navigation pane.
