Viewing the status of process instances and applications

In the Process Admin console, you can use the Process Status summary to view the status of process instances and process applications that are running on a specific workflow server.

Procedure

  1. Open the Process Admin console. In the Process Admin console, the Process Status summary is displayed in the Server Admin page. It displays status information for process applications and for process instances that are in the Started, Completed, Late, Executing, and Failed states.
  2. In the Process Status summary, click one of the following time frame buttons to display status information for process instances and process applications that exist in the selected time frame:
    Option Description
    Today Displays the status of process instances and process applications for the last 24 hours. (The default time frame.)
    Week Displays the status of process instances and process applications for the last seven days.
    Month Displays the status of process instances and process applications for the last 30 days.
    Year Displays the status of process instances and process applications for the last 365 days.
    All-time Displays the status of the process instances and process applications that have ever existed on the workflow server.
    For example, if you click the Week button, the Started, Completed, Late, Executing, and Failed status boxes are automatically updated to display the status and number of the process instances that existed in the last seven days.

    Similarly, in the Process Applications section of the Process Status summary, the list of process applications is automatically updated to display all of the process applications that resided on the server in the last seven days. The status icon that precedes each process application also changes to reflect the current status of the process application.

  3. If you want to see more detailed information about all process instances that have the same status (such as all process instances that have failed), click one of the following status boxes:
    • Started
    • Completed
    • Late
    • Executing
    • Failed
    The Process Inspector opens and displays a list of all process instances that have the same status within the selected time frame.
  4. If you want to see more detailed information about a specific process application, click the name of the process application in the Process Applications section. The Process Inspector opens and displays a list of the process instances that originate from the selected process application.
  5. If you simply want to open the Process Inspector without displaying any specific process instances or process applications, click the Open Process Inspector link. The Process Inspector opens and displays a list of process instances that is sorted in descending order according to the date of the most recent action.
