Bypass wait/any activity at run time - ActiveVOS BPEL

Some time we may need to use wait activity (to wait BPEL process for some specific time) as per business requirement. This waiting time can be in mins, hours, days or even in years. But during testing it is not feasible that you wait for hours, days or months. ActiveVOS BPM allows you to bypass this particular activity.

How?

1. Login into the activeVOS BPEL Console.
2. Click on Monitor and then on the Active Processes links. These link will be visible on the left side of the screen.
3. Select process instance
4. Go to wait activity (it will be visible as clock). Select this activity.
   
5. You can see suspend button on the left of the screen. (Two bold parallel lines in Green-Yellow colour, tool tip message will be Suspend). Click on that. Now suspend button should be disabled and resume button should be enabled (Just in right of suspend button).
   
6. Now you should be able to see action list in the upper-right side of lower window. (Now if you still stick to you decision of by passing this activity go to next step otherwise go to 8th point. ... :) )
   
7. There should be 3 buttons, first two should be disabled and 3rd one (complete button) should be enabled. Click on this.
8. Click on the resume button.

Now you can see that process has been by passed that wait activity.

Note:

• Similarly, you can by pass ANY OTHER activity also.
• This is working fine for activeVOS BPM 6.2, hope it will also work for other versions.
