Monitoring Stranded Activities

The Stranded Activities view, which can be accessed via the Business Control Center perspective launch panel, displays activities and default case activities that are stranded because their performers have been invalidated, for example like in the following cases:

• a user has a worklist and has been invalidated afterwards by an administrator. Refer to section Invalidating Users of chapter Creating and Editing User Accounts for detailed information about invalidating users.
• a conditional performer results in a participant that is already invalidated.
  Note that this behavior can be configured via the property Infinity.Engine.Activity.AssignToInvalidUser, which you can set in your carnot.properties file. If set to true, activities assigned to an invalid user are listed in the Stranded Activities view. If set to false, an exception occurs in that case, which is the default behavior.
• an activity instance is delegated via API to an invalidated user.
