Consequence of Pausing the Process Simulator in DR
If you have started to test a Workflow Process (WP1_testA in WorkspaceX) using the Workflow Process Simulator in a Design Time (DR) environment and you pause the Workflow Process in the Process Simulator, then note the following:
-
You will not be able to test or resume WP1_testA in a different workspace.
-
If you change the Workspace context by opening a different Workspace (for example, WorkspaceY), then you will receive an error message similar to the following:
Cannot execute the Workflow Process definition 'XX-XXXXXX' because it either does not exist or is not Active, it has expired, or it was recently updated and republished using a different Row ID (SBL-BPR-00158).
To resolve this, simply return to or open WorkspaceX where WP1_testA was paused.
-
If you install a new monthly update while WP1_testA is paused, then you will receive an error message similar to the following:
Cannot execute the Workflow Process definition 'XX-XXXXXX' because it either does not exist or is not Active, it has expired, or it was recently updated and republished using a different Row ID (SBL-BPR-00158).
In this case, the paused WP1_testA instance cannot be resumed.
This only applies to DR environments – this does not occur in Runtime Repository (RR) environments such as Test, QA, or Production. This behavior is by design.
