Resetting a Process Instance from Graphical Mode |
|
Before you begin this task:
- You must have the process administrator role in the Process Platform Business Process Engine application package to view and reset a process instance in the graphical mode.
- Ensure to suspend the process instance before you reset an activity.
In some cases, you may need to manually suspend a business process instance in order to modify the process or the values provided in the process. To again start executing the suspended process, you can use the reset feature. This feature also enables you to reset the point of execution, that is you can select any activity from which to start execution. Resetting a business process creates another instance with a new ID.
It is possible to reset a process and set it back in the execution path. When the reset point is set at an activity that precedes two parallel execution paths, both the paths are reset.
