Can't wake up sleeping worklist items

As far as I know there is no way to wake a sleeping item before the initial sleep period expires. You can try releasing the item via the API….it might work but no guarantee.

For Example:

foreach (WorklistItem worklistItem in connection.OpenWorklist())
{
// open the worklist item
connection.OpenWorklistItem(worklistItem.SerialNumber);
if (worklistItem != null && worklistItem.SerialNumber ==_wfSerialNumber)
{
worklistItem.Release();
}
}

using (SourceCode.Workflow.Client.Connection conn = new SourceCode.Workflow.Client.Connection())
            {
                conn.Open("localhost");

                SourceCode.Workflow.Client.WorklistItem wli = conn.OpenWorklistItem("15_8");
               
                wli.ProcessInstance.Update();

                wli.Sleep(false);
            }

In the above  wli.ProcessInstance.Update(); throws an error if the process is in sleep status:so just remove the update() function , the reactivate ( awake ) will work.

it is working for us:)
