Before you begin
To terminate a process instance, you must have process administrator
authorization.
Why and when to perform this task
You might want to terminate a process instance, for example, if the
work or documents it represents are no longer needed, if no one is available
to complete the process instance, if you have encountered problems with the
process template and it needs to be redesigned, and so on.
If compensation
is defined for the business process model, you can choose to terminate the
process instance with compensation.
In Business Process Choreographer
Explorer, complete the following steps to terminate a process instance.
Steps for this task
- Display the process instances that you can administer.
Click Administered
By Me under Process Instances in the navigation pane.
- Select the process instance that you want to stop.
- To terminate the process instance with compensation, click Compensate.
This
action terminates the process instance and starts compensation processing.
- To terminate the process instance without compensation, click Terminate.
This
action stops the process instance immediately without waiting for any outstanding
activities or tasks. Process instances that are terminated are not compensated.
