Restart of a workflow

[Roehlen, Peter]

Hi Thuan,
 
I think the answer to all 3 of your questions is that you can't achieve
this automatically but must model this behaviour.  You may wish to use a
combination of loops, container values for tracking the status of the
step and tasks (one for background and one for foreground processing.)

Subject: Restart of a workflow
 
Hi All,
 
I'm starting to build a workflow for master data automation, and it
seems that there are some concerns.
 
(1) If an error occurs during any one of the steps, I need to be able to
restart the workflow from where it left off.  Is this doable using the
same workflow?
 
(2) All the steps are background steps.  Would it be possible to change
the mode to be in the foreground so that the user will be able to step
through the screens for troubleshooting purposes during reprocessing.
 
(3) It seems that if I handle exceptions thrown during step processing,
it does not put the Workflow into ERROR status and so can't be
reprocessed.
How can I achieve this reprocessing of where the error occurred and
continue from there?
 
 
Thanks much!
 
Regards,
 
Thuan
