- Lack of resources

import arcpy
import arcpywmx
# Establish a connection to a Workflow database
conn = arcpywmx.Connect(r'c:\test\Workflow.jtc')
# Get a list of Hold types in Workflow database
hold_types = conn.config.getHoldTypes()
# Access a Workflow Job
job = conn.getJob(99999)
# Find the id of Budget Hold hold type and add a hold on the job
for hold in hold_types:
if hold.name == 'Budget Hold':
job.addHold(hold.id,comment="Insufficient funds for digitization.")
