# Class RestoreDecision

OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Runtime.ProcessRestoring.RestoreDecision

Represents a decision that controls how a process is restored.

Namespace: [OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Runtime.ProcessRestoring](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Runtime.ProcessRestoring/)

```csharp
public class RestoreDecision
```

## Properties

`public RestoreDecisionTypes Type { get; }` 

Gets the restore decision type.

`public IDictionary<string, object> ProcessParameters { get; }` 

Gets the process parameters that should be assigned during restore.

`public List<string> Persist { get; }` 

Gets the names of restore parameters marked for persistence.

`public ActivityDefinition Activity { get; }` 

Gets the activity used by [RestoreDecision.RunFromNewActivity(ActivityDefinition)](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Runtime.ProcessRestoring/RestoreDecision/) or [RestoreDecision.ResumeFromNewActivity(ActivityDefinition)](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Runtime.ProcessRestoring/RestoreDecision/) instead of the process's current activity.

`public static RestoreDecision Default { get; }` 

Gets the default restore decision.

`public static RestoreDecision RunFromCurrentActivity { get; }` 

Gets a decision that executes the process's current activity again during restore and then continues the process according to the normal activity execution flow.

### Remarks

The current activity itself is executed. Use [RestoreDecision.ResumeFromCurrentActivity](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Runtime.ProcessRestoring/RestoreDecision/) when its repeated execution should be skipped.

`public static RestoreDecision ResumeFromCurrentActivity { get; }` 

Gets a decision that does not execute the process's current activity again during restore and instead attempts to continue the process through that activity's automatic outgoing transitions.

### Remarks

The current activity itself is not executed. Use [RestoreDecision.RunFromCurrentActivity](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Runtime.ProcessRestoring/RestoreDecision/) when it should be executed again before the process continues.

`public static RestoreDecision Delete { get; }` 

Gets a decision that deletes the process during restore.

## Methods

`public RestoreDecision AddTemporaryParameter(string name, object value)` 

Adds a process parameter that should not be marked for persistence.

### Parameters

| Name | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `name` | `String` | The parameter name. |
| `value` | `Object` | The parameter value. |

### Returns

| Type | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `RestoreDecision` | The current restore decision. |

### Remarks

The parameter is added to [RestoreDecision.ProcessParameters](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Runtime.ProcessRestoring/RestoreDecision/) only.

`public static RestoreDecision RunFromNewActivity(ActivityDefinition activityDefinition)` 

Creates a decision that executes the specified activity during restore and then continues the process according to the normal activity execution flow.

### Parameters

| Name | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `activityDefinition` | `ActivityDefinition` | The activity to execute instead of the process's current activity. |

### Returns

| Type | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `RestoreDecision` | A restore decision with [RestoreDecision.Type](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Runtime.ProcessRestoring/RestoreDecision/) set to [RestoreDecisionTypes.RunFromNewActivity](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Runtime.ProcessRestoring/RestoreDecisionTypes/). |

### Exceptions

| Type | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `ArgumentNullException` | Thrown when `activityDefinition` is [null](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/keywords/null). |

### Remarks

The specified activity itself is executed. Use [RestoreDecision.ResumeFromNewActivity(ActivityDefinition)](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Runtime.ProcessRestoring/RestoreDecision/) when its execution should be skipped.

`public static RestoreDecision ResumeFromNewActivity(ActivityDefinition activityDefinition)` 

Creates a decision that does not execute the specified activity during restore and instead attempts to continue the process through that activity's automatic outgoing transitions.

### Parameters

| Name | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `activityDefinition` | `ActivityDefinition` | The activity after which process execution should continue. |

### Returns

| Type | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `RestoreDecision` | A restore decision with [RestoreDecision.Type](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Runtime.ProcessRestoring/RestoreDecision/) set to [RestoreDecisionTypes.ResumeFromNewActivity](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Runtime.ProcessRestoring/RestoreDecisionTypes/). |

### Exceptions

| Type | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `ArgumentNullException` | Thrown when `activityDefinition` is [null](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/keywords/null). |

### Remarks

The specified activity itself is not executed. Use [RestoreDecision.RunFromNewActivity(ActivityDefinition)](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Runtime.ProcessRestoring/RestoreDecision/) when it should be executed before the process continues.
