Change WF step during execution...?

[Michael Pokraka]

Thanks guys, I'll play around with the terminating events & rejectables.
Both apply for different scenarios & are pretty much the sensible ways.

Michael,
 
try to check the check box in the dialog step definition that says
'processing rejectable'. this should add another ending event to the current
step, meaning another path starting behind the current step. the user can
'reject' that (dialog) step, by using the menu 'workitem -> reject
execution', in which case the workflow takes the alternate path.
 
and all of a sudden, life has an undo button...

Hi folks,
I've got a workaround for this one, but still wondering if it's possible:
 
Abuser manages to do something strange resulting in a wflow ending in an
invalid step. Is it possible to edit the workflow and point it to a
different step to be executed? Similar to changing the container & doing a
'restart after error'. Something to the effect of only cancelling the
current step would do as the WF is in a loop and would revert back to the
beginning.
 
My workaround: cancel the whole thing & manually start a new one, but I'd
prefer the existing one to be resumeable.
 
If more detail is required:
The WF checks an SD document flow for completion status - if no delivery,
goto 'create new'. If partially delivered goto deliver more. If delivered,
check delivery completion status etc... you get the picture.
Now, halfway thru they do things outside the WF, occasionally invalidating a
step. I want to put it back in their inbox, forcing completion of the flow.
 
TIA
