This chapter describes how to run, test, and debug processes interactively during development. The same methods can be used to run processes in a production environment.
When you want to run a process, you can initiate it using any of the following methods:
The Workflow module on an orchestrator runs processes. When you start a process on an orchestrator, the Workflow module creates and runs a copy of the process object in the orchestrator automation library. This running copy is an instance of the process. The Workflow module creates a separate instance of a process each time you start a process (or another process or application starts a process).
You can open, view, and work with an instance of a process while it is running or after it finishes. Changes made to an instance of a process affect only that instance and do not affect the original process object stored in an automation library.
When a process starts, it connects to the correct agent or orchestrator modules on managed network computers. A process performs its designated operator functionality, tests conditions, and exercises dependencies. When error conditions arise, a process performs corrective actions and notifies operators and administrators when necessary. An administrator can use the Application Monitor to monitor running processes and to perform corrective actions.
