Is it possible to resume Terminated Workflows

Hello,

I have some terminated workflows that haven't been yet destroyed, I still have their dm_workflow and dmi_workitem records, is it possible to resume them? I tried changing r_runtime_status from 4 to 1 or 5 and then using the restart API, but it didn't work, I always get the error "The workflow is not running" .

Could they be resumed.

Thank you

I don't think that this is possible. In addition, you should not set r_ attributes directly. These attributes are set by the Documentum Server in response to an API call (e.g. resume a workflow).

Did you try "resume" API against workflow ID?

Thank you all for the replies.

I tried the resume:

resume,c,4d02b46480482331

Ah - resume is for halted workflows. Terminated means that they were "terminated". Do you know how the termination was initiated? I think once they are terminated, the WF cannot be "restarted". One of the server clean up jobs will delete terminated workflows.
