Weird Task State

Camunda 7 Topics Discussion & Questions
1

Hello,

I have an error that bothers me and I wanted to see with you how to avoid it or if there any workaround to fix it when it occurs.

I have a task which executes a huge(pricing) treatment that takes a lot of time. sometimes my server falls for different reasons while my task is still running.
if i restart my server the state of my task remains running indefinitely.

Questions :
Why the state of my task remains running?
Is there a way to retry the task? Rest API?
Can I change the state of my task manually?

kind regards,
Naoufal

What exactly do you mean with state of your task? Please give more details which Camunda features you use.

Hi Thorben,

Is the state that i see in Camunda cockpit.
The cockpit keep displaying my instance as running one.

Hi @nfahem,

I assume that you see a process instance in Cockpit which is still running, This could be because it is not finished yet. (Just guessing…)
It is a little bit confusing that you are talking for task states and instances.
It will help us to understand better if you give us an example of your process.

Best regards,
Yana
