Hi,
We have a process model that is started on a start timer node that is set for every hour. Unless it actually finds some data in a certain table, it will run for a few seconds. Since you don't see the process as active under processes unless you are right there at the moment it runs, how do you stop one of these processes from running if you want to stop it temporarily?

I tried removing the timer from the start node and republishing but the current active one still won't stop.

Thanks,
Gary

Gary, if you want to stop an active instance, you could always monitor the process instance and manually start a terminate end event. That will cause all active flows to terminate, which would make the active instance end. If no terminate end events exist in your model, you can edit that instance, add a terminate event, and then start that event through the Monitor functionality.

If you are trying to ensure that the process does not start in the future, your approach of removing the timer and re-publishing is a correct one. Whenever you want to resume the timer, remember that you can revert the process model to a previous version so you eliminate the risk of re-entering the code incorrectly.

Let me know if I'm still not understanding your question fully.
