The Activity History page shows information about the activities executed for a workflow. The page identifies the displayed workflow by its workflow type internal name and item key, as well as by its user key, if it has one.

To resume a suspended process activity, select the resume icon in the Suspend/Resume column. Processing for the process is resumed and any activities that were transitioned to while the process was suspended are now executed.

Oracle Workflow stops processing at the current activity and resumes processing at the specified activity.
