Can an Action flow intersect with Exception flows in OutSystems?

In OutSystems, an Action flow does not intersect with Exception flows because these flows serve distinct purposes in the application's execution path. The Action flow is the standard flow of logic that dictates the typical sequence of operations when an action is invoked. In contrast, Exception flows are specifically designed to manage errors or unexpected conditions that may arise during the execution of an Action flow.

By keeping these flows separate, OutSystems ensures clarity in how an application responds during regular and exceptional circumstances. The separation preserves the integrity of the business logic in the Action flow while also providing a dedicated mechanism for error handling via the Exception flow.

This design not only prevents potential confusion that might arise from mixing normal logic with error handling but also promotes best practices in application development by fostering a clear and structured approach to controlling program flow. Therefore, the established architecture of OutSystems adheres to this principle, solidifying the understanding that Action flows and Exception flows are inherently distinct and cannot intersect.
