You can programmatically start (unsuspend) suspended process
instances by using the Java API and web service API. A suspended
process instance must be started for the process instance to perform
all of its actions. To successfully start a suspended process instance,
you require the process invocation identifier that can be obtained
when invoking a long-lived process by using the Invocation API.
Summary of steps
To start a suspended process instance, perform the following
tasks:
-
Include project files.
-
Create a ProcessManager Client API object.
-
Suspend the process instance.
Include project files
Include necessary files into your development
project. If you are creating a client application by using Java,
include the necessary JAR files. If you are using web services,
make sure that you include the proxy files.
Create a ProcessManager Client API object
Before you can programmatically
search for process instances, you must create a
TaskManagerQueryService
object.
Start the suspended process instance
To start a process instance,
ensure that it is a suspended or suspended state. If you attempt
to start a process that is not in one of these states, you will
create an exception.
Start suspended process instances using the Java API
Start a suspended process instance by using the ProcessManager
API (Java):
-
Include project files
Include client JAR files,
such as adobe-workflow-client-sdk.jar, in your Java project’s class
path.
-
Create a ProcessManager Client API object
-
Start the suspended process instance
Start a suspended
process instance by invoking the
ProcessManager
object’s
unSuspendProcess
method
and passing a string value that specifies the process invocation
identifier value. This value can be obtained when invoking a process
by using the Invocation API.
Start suspended process instances using the web service API
Start a suspended process instance by using the ProcessManager
API (web service):
-
Include project files
-
Create a Microsoft
.NET client assembly that consumes the ProcessManager service WSDL.
To create a proxy object that lets you invoke its operations by using
Base64 encoding, specify this WSDL definition:
http://localhost:8080/soap/services/ProcessManager?WSDL
-
Reference the Microsoft .NET client assembly.
-
Create a ProcessManager Client API object
-
Using the Microsoft .NET client assembly, create a
ProcessManagerService
object
by invoking its default constructor.
-
Set the
ProcessManagerService
object’s
Credentials
data member
with a
System.Net.NetworkCredential
value.
-
Start the suspended process instance
Start a suspended
process instance by invoking the
ProcessManager
object’s
unSuspendProcess
method
and passing a string value that specifies the process invocation
identifier value. This value can be obtained when invoking a process
by using the Invocation API.
