## SuspendProcess

PL/SQL Syntax

`procedure SuspendProcess`

        (itemtype in varchar2,

         itemkey in varchar2,

         process in varchar2 default '');

Java Syntax

`public static boolean suspendProcess`

        (WFContext wCtx,

         String itemType,

         String itemKey,

         String process)

Description

Suspends process execution so that no new transitions occur. Outstanding notifications can complete by calling CompleteActivity( ), but the workflow does not transition to the next activity. Restart suspended processes by calling ResumeProcess( ).

Arguments (input) | wCtxWorkflow context information. Required for the Java method only. See: Oracle Workflow Context.
| itemtypeA valid item type.
itemkey | A string generated from the application object's primary key. The string uniquely identifies the item within an item type. The item type and key together identify the process. See: CreateProcess.
process | An optional argument that allows the selection of a particular subprocess for that item. Provide the process activity's label name. If the process activity label name does not uniquely identify the subprocess you can precede the label name with the internal name of its parent process. For example, <parent_process_internal_name>:<label_name>. If this argument is null, the top level process for the item is suspended. This argument defaults to null.
