Suspending and Stop/Cancel activiti Process instance

neo1 — Mon, 04 Apr 2016 00:13:26 GMT

Hello, Our application use Activiti v5.19.0. We need suspending/stop activiti process instance during process running. I know there are APIs to suspend activiti process instance, suspendProcessInstanceById(String processInstanceId) and activateProcessInstanceById(String processInstanceId). Here

1) yes.

2) a) No, the process execution is suspended. The task 2 won't be able to be completed
b) task 2 - if it's a user task.
c) activating the process instance will continue from where the process was in the last stable state.

3) there is a deleteProcessInstance method on the RuntimeService

Thanks a lot.
One more question: you mentioned "b) task 2 - if it's a user task.", in our case, the task 2 is a java service task(java delegate), we will call suspend api in task-2 java service task if one of our condition is not satisfied, then activiti process is suspended. Then our application does other operation, and manually re-activate the activiti externally, does activiti re-run the task-2?

No, Activiti will finish the current transaction, execute task 2 and continue until the next 'wait state' (user task, receive task, etc.)
