A Pause Node halts a process until some condition is met.
There are three ways to continue a process that has been held at a pause node:
- in the pause node itself
- in an event external to the process
- in the Workflow Admin app
The pause node can be configured with a script that tests when the pause node should continue before marking the pause as complete using system.variables.$PAUSE_COMPLETED.value = "Y";.
The script can be run once or at a defined interval until the pause is completed.
Alternatively, another event can unpause a process using the Workflow API function system.workflow.api.unpause(taskEnactmentDescriptor, reason, caller).
