 I have a process that has failed on a &amp;quot;Script task&amp;quot;.

&lt;p&gt;Temporarily reactivate the deactivated user, restart process, then deactivate again.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No, it only works for User Tasks, not Script Tasks&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: How to change the process Starter to resume a failed process?</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/151669?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sat, 20 Sep 2025 10:27:36 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:30ce1742-d13d-484d-83e5-758803f8aef3</guid><dc:creator>Stefan Helzle</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I would try to reactivate that user.
