Explanation

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text  ready

The end of the (sub-)workflow has been reached.

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text  logically deleted

Execution of the (sub-)workflow is no longer required or useful.

A work item changes to logically deleted status in the following ways:

  • Intervention of a workflow system administrator

An administrator can only set a workflow to status logically deleted if this workflow has not yet reached the completed status.
  • Execution of a process control
  • Termination in parallel processing branches

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 completed status are automatically set to the logically deleted status.

Note

A workflow set to logically deleted is recursively scanned for dialog and workflow work items that do not yet have the status completed. These work items are then also set to the status logically deleted.

Note

A work item changed from the status executed to the status logically deleted may have already caused database changes or other actions (generate event, send notification). These changes are not canceled automatically, but are recorded in the workflow log.
