Suspend Process Instance

API Type

Web Services

Description

Suspends a process instance with the specified process instance ID.

Good to Know

• The process instance status is changed to Suspended, and the statuses of all the work items (tasks) become Pending.
• To call this method, the API account user must have the access right, Suspend and Resume a Process.
• Only running process instances can be suspended.
• If there is a parent-child hierarchy, and the parent process instance is suspended, the running child process instances are suspended automatically.
