About manual task

Using the Resiliency Platform console, you can add a manual task in the resiliency plan. The purpose of including this task in resiliency plan is to temporarily pause the operation of the resiliency plan to perform a task or validate a step before you proceed further.

You can specify a timeout for the manual task. After the specified timeout expires, the manual task in the resiliency plan is marked as complete and the resiliency plan proceeds further.

Alternatively, you can opt for manually resuming the process. In this case, the resiliency plan enters into a pause state. You need to go to the Inbox in Resiliency Platform console and click Resume on the corresponding entry in the Inbox. You can also resume the resiliency plan by right-clicking the corresponding entry in Activities > Current Activities and selecting Resume.
