Move a Running Process Forward or Backward to a Different Activity

Video: Task Management

Prerequisites

• A running process.

Good to Know

• When you complete this procedure, the running process instance rolls forward or backward to the target activity, and the target activity changes to the status New.

  "Target" in this context means the destination activity. The target can be forward or backward in the process flow.

• If you roll back a process, any data that was previously entered in eForms is retained, but can be changed when the forms are opened again.
• If you roll a process forward, you skip any activities in between. If any of those activities are human task activities or activities that retrieve data from external systems, your process can lose data.
• If you have a process with multiple process branches, and you roll the process back to an activity in the middle of one of the branches, the other branches may not complete.
