Best way to Unarchive the process

harshav over 8 years ago

Hi All,

Imagine there is a main process model and some sub process models. Now the task is in one of the sub process and lets say its in 3rd PM. and the case got cancelled manually and all the process models are archived. Imagine I want the data back using un archiving the process.My questions would be

1. Can I get the process in active state from where it started.
2. Can I make the task from which it got cancelled to active.

Could someone suggest. TIA :)

Unarchiving processes should restore the variable data and process execution state. If the process was canceled however, you would probably need to reinitiate the process again to generate the Task.

@harsha You will also need all the PM id's in-order to un-archive. It always restores to its previous state.
