In the Runtime section, you can configure the following properties for a Grab activity.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Grab Type |
Specifies the type of Grab
Possible values are:
|
| Suspendable | Specifies if you can suspend a process instance sitting in this activity. When you suspend a process instance, the process execution engine ignores its due transitions and the process deadline. When you resume the process instance, the process execution engine recalculates due transitions and process deadlines, adding the time it spent suspended. |
| User Selects Transitions |
Specifies if the user can decide which transition to follow. The user can choose from a list of all the transitions that apply to the current process instance. If you enable this property, the process designer allows you to add multiple unconditional transitions to a Grab activity. |
| Abortable | Specifies if the user can eliminate instances from the process. When you eliminate a process instance it flows directly to the end of the process. |
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Defined | You must define an inbound transition to specify from which flow objects you can grab an instance, and an outbound transition to specify to which flow objects you can redirect the grabbed instance. |
| From All | The Grab activity has an implicit inbound transition from all the flow objects in the process flow. You must define an outbound transition to specify to which flow objects you can redirect the grabbed instance. |
| From All/To All | The Grab activity has implicit inbound and outbound transitions to all the flow objects in the process flow. You can grab an instance from any flow object in the process flow and you can redirect the instance to any flow object in the process flow. |
