suspendProcessInstanceById not updating database

[fabio_resner]

Hello,

I'm not sure if I'm forgeting something.
I have a method that does the following:

public void suspendProcessInstance(String processInstanceId) {
      ProcessEngineHolder.getInstance().getProcessEngine().getRuntimeService().suspendProcessInstanceById(processInstanceId);
      
      ProcessInstance processInstance = ProcessEngineHolder.getInstance().getProcessEngine().getRuntimeService().createProcessInstanceQuery().processInstanceId(processInstanceId).singleResult();
      
      assert(processInstance.isSuspended());
   
   }
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

And I also have a method that starts a instance of the process and calls the suspendProcessInstance() method.
While the test result is positive, it does not update ACT_RU_EXECUTION.

SUSPENSION_STATE_ remains the same.
Is there any special condition to call suspendProcessInstanceById?

Thanks,

There are no special conditions. Are you sure the transaction is comitted? Because we have thorough testing for the suspend/activate behaviours…
