How to Configure the Suspend Shape

Suspend shape

When an orchestration instance is suspended, an error is logged. You can specify a message string to accompany the error to help the administrator diagnose the situation.

All of the state information for the orchestration instance is saved, and is reinstated if and when the administrator resumes the orchestration instance.

Note

If a Suspend shape exists in an orchestration that has been called synchronously (as with the Call shape) by another orchestration, the nested instance and all enclosing orchestration instances will be suspended.

Note

You cannot place a Suspend shape inside an atomic transaction.

To configure a Suspend shape

• You can use the Error Message property to specify text that you want to be logged when a Suspend shape is encountered. This text may be a literal string, or an expression that evaluates to a System.String.

  Caution

  If you enter a literal string, you must enclose it in quotation marks.
