Status of a Workflow Work Item 
Status of a Workflow Work Item
The valid statuses for workflow work items (type F) are listed in the following table:
Work item status |
Description |
|
The (sub) workflow is scheduled but its requested start has not yet been reached. |
|
Temporary interim status |
|
Execution of the (sub) workflow has begun. |
|
The end of the (sub) workflow has been reached. |
|
Execution of the (sub) workflow is no longer required or meaningful. A status of a workflow changes to logically deleted in the following way:
An administrator can only set a workflow item to the logically deleted status if it has not yet reached the completed status.
When the required number of processing paths has been executed in a fork, the work items in the other paths that have not yet reached the completed status are set to the logically deleted status.
A workflow set to the logically deleted status is recursively scanned for dialog and workflow work items (type W or F) that do not yet have the status "completed". These work items are then also set to the status logically deleted.
A work item changed from the executed status to the logically deleted status may already have caused database changes or other actions (generate event, send notification). These changes are not canceled automatically (compensated), but are recorded in the log. |

Workflows and their statuses are not displayed in the Business Workplace. Information about the workflow can be accessed via the subordinate dialog work items.
