I created a quick and dirty report just now - attached.  Hopefully this is helpful.  Note: From the Report results, can output to Excel.

Rename from .qml.txt to just .qml to import. This is from 12.0.0.3.

You can set the state on a Change Notice. If you are using default or similar workflows, setting to Open state will kick off a new workflow but its not the same workflow. The workflow you had terminated is dead. Hasta la vista baby. You will have to restart the workflows and manually advanced to the right point it was previously. Note, you might want to give a heads up to users as they will be getting tasks and emails as it moves through.

    Hi Mike, Thank you very much your reply and the Report!

    As I mentioned in my request for help that I'm not an administrator, am a user, and I don't have access to create this program.

    I can do Advance Search. See the snapshot below.

    I see this is already marked resolve but though I'd add to it.

     

    There is a way to restart an existing terminated workflow.

    The upside of restarting an existing workflow of course is that you keep all the workflow info that has been already stored (with the exception of data that is stored in the Work Item) and you pick up the workflow right where you were when it was terminated.

     

    I made a test workflow and terminated it from the OOTB Process Manager.

    Before Terminate

    After Terminate

    I then wrote and ran some code in a Windchill shell to restart it.

    It did take three tries to get the code right but it works.

    After Restart

    Note the Start Time is the same in all images.

    Where as this is suppose to correct an inadvertent termination I decided not to update the workflow's original Start Time. Although updating Start Time is doable.

    Note the End Time is updated in the images.  

     

    I can provide quit a bit of sight into what is going on "under the hood" but whereas this is kind of a fringe topic I'll hold off on that until some interest is shown.

     

    Note that the Expression and Synch robots were also terminated and restarted.

     

    So, the long and the short of this is it's doable.
