The context and the process settings can be displayed for the process version or the process instance.
The execution context determines from which items (database, group, model/object type, document), in which applications (for example, ARIS Connect), and by which users a governance process can be started. The context must be defined in ARIS before generating the executable process. The context selected for the process instance is also displayed in the navigation tree for process administration and in instance monitoring.
The process setting Reopen selected context item in read-only mode, specify if the context item is closed and reopened in read-only mode automatically or not if the context item is open when the governance process is started. The user is prompted beforehand whether or not the opened item is automatically saved, closed, and reopened in read-only mode.
To guarantee governance processes to run successfully, the context items must be closed or opened in read-only mode. If Reopen selected context item in read-only mode is disabled and you start the governance process for an opened context item, the governance process will fail.
You must specify the process settings before generating the executable process. After this, the process settings can no longer be changed for the generated process version. If you start the governance process for an opened context item for which Reopen selected context item in read-only mode is disabled, the governance process will fail.
