Workflow

One or more task instances within the workflow has one of the following statuses:

  • Confirmation Required
  • Failure
  • In Doubt
  • Running/Problems (for sub-workflows)
  • Start Failure
  • Undeliverable

99

Cancel Pending

Agent-based

A process running on the Agent needs to be terminated. When the Cancel command is issued, the task instance will go into a Cancel Pending status until the Agent reports back that the process has been cancelled. At that point, the task instance will transition into the Cancelled status.

Anchor
In Doubt
In Doubt
In Doubt

Agent-based, SQL, Stored Procedure, Web Service

The task instance is "in doubt" about the current status of the job. This may occur if an Agent or Agent connection goes down. In this case, the Agent restarts and reviews its data about task instances in progress. If the Agent finds a task instance still running, it resumes normal monitoring. If the Agent cannot find the task instance, this usually indicates that the task instance completed, but the Agent considers the task instance status to be "in doubt."
 
When the Controller restarts, any SQL, Stored Procedure, and Web Service task instances that are in a Running status will transition into the In Doubt status, since the Controller no longer has any knowledge of them.
