Open an Instance of a Process

Use the following procedure to open an instance of a process in the process designer.

Follow these steps:

1. In the CA Process Automation web interface, open the Process Instances from the Links pane or the Process Watch in the Operations tab.
2. To open a process watch object, expand the folder containing the object, and double-click the process.

Any changes that are made to an instance of a process affect only the execution of that instance. Changes are not saved to the process object in the library. The changes are lost when the process control drops the workflow instance on the Touchpoint. To save changes to an instance of a process permanently, export the instance and then import it. When you import an exported process instance, that update becomes the new process object. Importing creates a version of the process object in the library that incorporates any changes you made to the process instance before the export.
