How to Resume Suspended Orchestration Instances

If you have suspended orchestration instances that are listed as "suspended resumable," you can attempt to resume the orchestration instance from the query results or preview pane. Resuming the orchestration instance will only succeed if the underlying problem that caused the orchestration instance to become suspended has also been fixed.

Prerequisites

You must be logged on as a member of the BizTalk Server Operators group to perform this procedure.

5. Do one of the following:

   • To resume a single instance, in the Field Name column, in the empty drop-down list box next to the asterisk (\), select the *Service Name filter and then in the Value column, specify the service name.
