Start and stop Connect Workflow Service

As with most Windows services, Connect Workflow can be started and stopped automatically when a Windows session is opened and closed. The other option is to start, stop or pause Connect Workflow manually using the Connect Workflow Configuration program.

Note: The current Connect Workflow status is always displayed in the lower-right corner of the Connect Workflow Configuration program window.

Click Tools in the Connect Workflow Ribbon.
Then, in the Services Status group:

  • Click Start Service to start the service. A progress bar is displayed while your Connect Workflow is being started.
  • Click Stop Service to stop the service.
    When you stop or pause Connect Workflow, it immediately stops bringing new files into its processes, but it keeps on performing tasks until all the files which are currently under process have been completely processed.
  • Click Pause to pause the service. The Connect Workflow service temporarily stops performing jobs.

    Note: If you send a new configuration when Connect Workflow is paused, it will continue using the old configuration when you resume processing until you stop and restart it. See also: Saving and sending a Workflow Configuration.

  • Click Resume to resume the service after pausing it. The Connect Workflow Tool service starts performing jobs again.
