Forcing the completion of activities

If you are aware that an activity is not going to complete in a timely manner, for example, because the invoked service is no longer available, you can force the completion of the activity so that the process flow can continue.

Before you begin

Generally, the activity must be in the stopped state. However, if the activity is a staff activity, it can also be in either the ready or the claimed state. The associated process instance must be in the running state.

Steps for this task

  1. Navigate to the Activity page for the activity and click Force Complete.
  2. Specify the data that is needed to complete the activity.
  3. Click Force Complete again.
