A process instance can have any of the following statuses:
The process instance is running the process.
The Process Governance administrator suspended the process instance manually during process execution. This can be useful, for example, if a server outage would cause the process execution to fail.
The Process Governance administrator terminated the process instance manually during process execution. This may be called for if, for example, the executable process is no longer relevant.
The process instance was not able to pass through the process completely due to an error. Failed process instances can be restarted after the error is fixed.
The process instance is in wait state because something unforeseen has happened while the process was passed through. The Process Governance administrator must check and resolve this.
The process instance has completely passed through the process.
