To suspend a running flowchart
You can perform the Suspend action only on a running flowchart.
When you Suspend a flowchart, the run process ends, and system resources are released. A placeholder remains so that you can resume running the flowchart at the point at which you suspended it. This is different from pausing a flowchart (from the flowchart Run menu). When you pause a flowchart, the process remains, and does not release system resources (such as memory).
1.
On the All Monitored Runs page, locate the flowchart that you want to suspend.
You see its status and the available action buttons.
2.
Click the Suspend buttonSuspend button iconnext to the flowchart status.
The suspend process starts. The flowchart's status on the All Monitored Runs page changes to Suspending and the color of the status indicator changes to yellow. In Suspending status, you cannot perform any actions on a flowchart.
*
It may take a while to successfully suspend a running flowchart, because it must wait until running process boxes reach a state where they can be safely saved and resumed.
When the suspend process completes, the flowchart's status changes to Suspended; the color of the status indicator remains yellow.
