Update the current state of an ImmSOT Consumer. 

```
    Updates the Consumer state and/or sub status only. Input is the Consumer version previously read (used for operation optimistic locking) and the desired Consumer state.

    At least one of **state** and **subStatus** must be specified. If **state** or **subStatus** is not specified, then these attributes will not be updated. Setting subStatus to null will clear the current sub status.

```
