workflow<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Kevin:<BR> <BR>You do not need a new task. You can use the same
one. That is what I would do:<BR> <BR>1- Put your task inside a loop.<BR>2-
Define a terminate event to detect the "suspend" and "resume" status<BR>3-
In that case, you will call the same task, but recalculate the deadline (that
has to be based on a container element) to a very far future date (I do not know
if you put no date the deadline will be 'deactivated'. That is something you
should try).<BR>4- If the "resume" event is raised, you have to go back on the
loop and recalculate the deadline properly<BR> <BR>It is still complex, but
at least you do not have to use a new task. You have to decide what is
better.<BR> <BR>Regards,<BR>Flávio.<BR><BR> <BR>

Subject: User to suspend workflow<BR>Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2007 08:40:48

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hi, On ECC6.0 I would like to have an event, for example
'Suspend', which when raised would suspend the calculated date in the
deadline monitoring indefinitely, until the user would raise another event,
for example 'Resume' at which time the calculated date would be recalculated
and the workflow process would resume. I cannot seem to find an easy way
to do this, other than to create a terminating event which would then call a
new step with the same task but without the latest end active. This
approach doesn't allow me to 'freeze' the workflow and also introduces
unnecessary complexity in an already complex workflow. Any
ideas?</FONT><BR><FONT face=Arial>Thanks much,</FONT> <BR><FONT
