Is it possible to cancel or suspend a process with web service?

Hi, Guys.

Is it possible to cancel or suspend a process with web service in CE72 ?

Using NWA for common users are not acceptable in my situation.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Louis,

Dynamically Canceling or suspending a process is not a part of public API, hence it is not possible to do it outside NWA.

PS- @Srikanth- I could not find any relevant info in the above two links you provided

Hi,

I have the same issue as Louis. Apart from a web service, is there a way to accomplish canceling, suspending, etc. of processes? Might there be a workaround with the UWL API?

Cheers!

According to the reply from SAP, there is no way to cancel a process instance without NWA in CE72,

but it can be done in CE73.

Hello,

I have this requirement in NW 7.3

Can you please suggest how this can be achieved in 7.3?

Thanks

Hi,

You could try to use an intermediate event, which would sit and wait in parallel to your main process logic, and then respond accordingly.  See this image for a rough idea:

You could go a step further and create a generic re-usable cancellation process, that you add to all of your other processes as a referenced process - that way you have a standardised way of killing processes that are running.  You could then have a very simplistic custom application to call the intermediate message and kill single or multiple processes in one hit.

Thanks Ryan,

But my requirement is to have a custom WDJ application which acts like a workflow admin tool.

In that tool, we need to collect all the processes/tasks running for a user.

If a particular process is in error, he should be able to select and suspend it-work on it offline-then resume it.

To achieve this, I would need BPM APIs (classes/methods) for suspending/resuming processes.

I have gone through javadocs but could not find any class with such methods.
