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.
