Open an Instance of a Process that is in the Start Request Form

After the process control module starts running an instance that is associated with a start request form, you can open the instance in the process designer or viewer. For a running, paused, or interrupted process, you can view or control execution of the process. For a completed or aborted process, you can view the results for operators in the process. You must have sufficient permissions to list, open, or control execution for a particular request.

Follow these steps:

1. In the CA Process Automation web interface, click the Operations and the Start Request palette.
2. In the Start Requests palette, click the root folder to view all active requests in the requests lists.
3. To view active requests for a particular Start Requests Form object, expand the folder containing the object, and click the particular object.
4. Right-click the request that you want to open, and click Open.

   The instance of the process that is associated with the request in the process designer opens.

The debug mode functionality of the process designer lets you do the following tasks:

• Reset operators
• Suspend or abort operators
• Restart processing at a breakpoint
• Add or remove breakpoints
• Suspend or abort a process

You can also look at dataset variables of the process and examine parameters for the operators in a process workflow.
