Hello All, I have a requirement to keep process instance on hold aft

Hi Rupak, can you please further explain your use case?

By "Hold" do you mean "Pause" the process?

If yes, then you can use the "Process Management Services" Plug-in from the Shared Components in Forum for your use case.

Hi Patty,
Thanks for the reply.Below is the case study.
Run a batch process every day at schedule time and achieve below:
1. fetch all the Process Intance details from existing application (supppose employee details), which has been created 3 months back.
2. All the fetched intance id will be kept on hold
3. sends the email to task owner stating that Process instance has been kept on hold.
Hope this will sufice.

What happens after the task owner gets an email saying that the instance is on hold?

Hi Alok,
Thanks for the reply.
Will It allow to hold the process instance from other process model?

Either Task owner can unhold the task and complete or after next 1 month it will be cancelled automatically.

thanks for the quck response

By holding the process, do you want the process to remain active?
You can escalate a task after some amount of time and use the send message event. forum.appian.com/.../Escalating_a_Task, forum.appian.com/.../Send_Message_Event
To cancel the task after one month, you can create a deadline.

Yeah I want to keep process remain active. will try the solution provided by alok.mohare. will update you. Thanks for the help

I am not sure if this is the right approach for the use case. The business requirement of pausing a process may or may not correlate to the technical use case of pausing a process instance in Appian. I don't personally recommend pausing a process in that way. What you need is the option of controlling any action to be performed on that process. If that be the case, there are other ways to achieve this rather than pausing the process.
In case you end up leaving the process paused indefinitely, its going to stay become a maintenance challenge. I suggest you discuss the solution in detail with your Appian architect or involve Appian PS to assist you with the best solution.
