Monitoring the progress of a BPEL process instance
You can monitor the progress of a process instance to determine whether you need to take action so that the process can run to completion.
In Business Process Choreographer Explorer to monitor the progress of a process instance.
Procedure
- Display a list of process instances.
For example, click Administered By Me under Process Instances in the Views tab navigation pane.
- Select the check box next to the process instance and click View Process State.
The Process State page is displayed. This page shows the activities, the links including the transition and join conditions for the links, the fault handlers, the compensation handlers, and the event handlers that are defined for the process. Activities are color coded in the diagram, depending on their state. All states have an associated icon.
For example, completed activities are indicated by a check mark. See the online help for the page.
- To act on an activity, click the activity, and select Show Activity Details.
Click an activity in the process state view. Use the choices in the pop-up menu, to display the activity details, skip the activity (mark an activity for skipping), or select it as the source for a jump to a different activity in the process. You can also repair switch activities that failed due to a problem with the evaluation of a case condition.
The available actions are displayed. Select the action of your choice.
