What occurs when a work queue is temporarily paused?

When a work queue is temporarily paused, items within that queue will not be released for processing. The pause stops any further actions on the queue, ensuring that no new items are fetched or processed. This feature is useful in scenarios where operations need to be halted for maintenance, to address issues, or to manage workload effectively without losing track of what is currently in the queue.

During this paused state, all items that are already present in the queue will remain in their current status until the pause is lifted. This allows for controlled processing once the queue is resumed, without any items being skipped or unintentionally processed during the pause.

Understanding this functionality is key for effective queue management in Blue Prism, as it allows for strategic decision-making when modifying the flow of work to and from queues.
