Enabling a Step for Resubmission
webMethods Monitor enables you to resubmit a process instance that has failed or completed, provided you have first enabled at least one step in the process model for resubmission before the process instance began executing. This setting has no effect on process instances that are currently running or that have already stopped running.
In addition to enabling steps for resubmission in Software AG Designer as described below, you can also enable steps for resubmission in Monitor.
*For more information about enabling and disabling steps for resubmission in Monitor, see the chapter “Working with Process Models” in the PDF publication webMethods Monitor User’s Guide.
*For more information about step resubmission in general, see “About Resubmitting Process Instances and Process Steps” in the PDF publication webMethods Monitor User’s Guide.
Important:
Before you make modifications to step resubmission settings, be aware of the interaction of these settings between Designer and webMethods Monitor. For more information, see About Synchronizing Process Runtime Settings with webMethods Monitor .
Note:
If you want to be able to resubmit process instances from Monitor at certain steps, you must set the process model logging level to a level that will log the input pipelines for those steps. For more information, see “About Process Model Data Logging” in the PDF publication webMethods Monitor User’s Guide.
*To enable or disable a step for resubmission in Designer
1. Open the process model you want to work with in the process editor.
2. Click anywhere in the process canvas to select the entire process.
3. In the Properties view, click the Runtime Settings tab, and then in Steps Enabled for Resubmission area of the Runtime Editable Properties section:
*Click Synchronize to retrieve the current runtime settings from the Process Audit database and apply them to EDA (deprecated) events and step enablement areas. A confirmation dialog box appears to inform you either that the settings are identical and no changes are needed, or that the settings are different, in which case you can choose to synchronize the settings or cancel.
*Select the corresponding check box for a step you want to enable for resubmission.
*Clear the corresponding check box for a step to disable resubmission capability.
Note:
When a step is enabled for resubmission, the pipeline data for that step is saved. Extensive use of resubmittal enablement (for example, enabling all steps for all process models for resubmittal) may result in a reduction in performance.
4. Save the process model.
You must build and upload the process model to apply the new settings to the runtime environment. For more information, see About Synchronizing Process Runtime Settings with webMethods Monitor .
