Process Instances

Monitor the processes that are running on an Orchestrator and act on single or multiple process instances from the Process Instances tab.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to the CA Process Automation web interface.
2. Select the Operations tab then click Links, Process Instances.

   The Process Instances pane displays the process instances currently running on an Orchestrator and a graphical view of the instance states.

3. To view the archived instances, select the Archived option button.

The Process Instances pane displays the following information:

• Process instance name
• State
• Progress
• Duration status
• Start time
• End time
• The ID of the user who created the instance
• The touchpoint on which the instance runs
• The name of the content package to which the object belongs (if the object was imported in a content package)
• The release version of the content package (not of the specific object), if the object was imported in a content package

The Duration Status displays one of the following status indicators for the associated runtime process instance:

• Red: The process run has exceeded the expected duration.
• Yellow: The process is running but is nearing end of the expected duration.
• Green: The process ran during the expected duration. The status is green while a process is completed and while a process is running and not in yellow or red status.
• No indicator: The process has no expected duration set.

You can filter each column by the following criteria to sort, view required columns, and view process instances:

• Instance
• State
• Progress
• Duration Status
• Start Date or Time
• End Date or Time
• Touchpoint
• Content Package Name
• Content Package Release Version

You can work with one or more process instances simultaneously. The product displays available options for each process instance. The options that are displayed depend on the process instance state. The product displays all actions that apply to at least one of the selected instances when you select instances in different states.

The product displays the process end time of process instances that are in the Completed, Failed, or Aborted state. You can resume process instances that are in the Suspended, Waiting, or Blocked state.

In the chart view, each bar represents a process instance in a specific state. To display the process instances in a specific state, click the bar for that state. Click the same bar again to remove the filter.
