Suspended Timer Event Behavior

When a process instance with a timer event configured is suspended, the timer event continues to be processed. However, you will not see any effect until the process instance resumes.

If the timer event completes processing while the process instance is suspended, you can see the effect only after the process instance has resumed. For example:

  • If the process is configured to move to the next task when the timer event has processed, the process moves to the next task when the process resumes.
  • If the task that has a timer event is set to withdraw on expiry, then the task is withdrawn when the process resumes.
