Hi,

When you only have synchronous activities the process is started successfully, but due to the script task error the whole transaction is rolled back and you end up in a state where no process instance is created, therefore you also see no entry in the history table. If you want the process to be started, you should make the script task asynchronous.
In case of the 500 status code, don't you get a http status error description as well?

Best regards,

thanks a lot Tijs .

in that case when an script task error occur can i end the process-instance with the custom delete reason like "error".

The delete reason is only filled, when you really delete the process instance. So in normal process execution you should not do this. What you can do is create an additional end event with a specific id. Then in the history you can query for process instances that have ended in this state.

Best regards,
