Document Boundary Event

Introduction

A document boundary event listens for a document lifecycle event while its host activity is active. When a match arrives, the matched content item is bound to the configured variable and execution continues along the boundary's outgoing flow.

The boundary supports both interrupting and non-interrupting flavours:

  • Interrupting: the host activity is cancelled when the boundary fires; the subscription is consumed.
  • Non-interrupting: the host activity stays live and the boundary stays armed, so it can fire again for each subsequent matching event until the host activity completes or is otherwise cancelled.

The full configuration model (events, locations, filename matcher, variables) is shared with the other document event activities. See Document Events.
