Claiming the ownership of BPEL process instances using Business Process Choreographer Explorer
You can transfer the ownership of a BPEL process instance by having a person with process administrator authorization take ownership of the process instance. You might want to do this, for example, in situations where the process starter is no longer with the company.
To transfer the ownership of a process instance, a process instance administrator or the system administrator for BPEL processes claims ownership of the process instance. The process instance for which process ownership is claimed can be in any state.
You need administrative rights to claim the ownership of a process instance. A system or process administrator can assign these rights by creating or transferring a process work item with the administrator reason.
To claim the ownership of a process instance, complete the following steps in Business Process Choreographer Explorer.
Procedure
- Display a list of process instances.
For example, click Administered By Me under Process Instances in the Views tab navigation pane.
- Claim ownership of the process.
Select the check box next to the process instance or instances, and click Claim Ownership.
Results
You are now the owner of the process instance, and the process starter. You also have process administrator rights for the process instance.
