resumeHaltedProcessInstances

Resumes execution of all process instances for the specified process templates, where those instances have halted as a result of an activity failure. The tasks that failed are skipped.

  • The request must specify the process templates for which HALTED instances are to be resumed.
  • The response returns a count of the number of process instances that have been successfully resumed.
Note: Each process instance immediately enters a FAILED state. This operation effectively allows the erroring process instances to resume and then fail as if they had never halted. This would typically be used if the reason for the failed tasks cannot be resolved.

This is one of four operations that can be used to deal with process instances that are in a HALTED state as a result of an activity failure. See also:

This operation only affects process instance that are in a HALTED state. To resume process instances that are in a SUSPENDED state, use resumeProcessInstances instead.
