Using the Business Processes Page
To access the Business Processes page: Navigate > Applications > Administration > Business > Business Processes.
The Business Processes page provides a paged list all of the available process models you are authorized to view. Initially, the process model list might be empty, depending on your search options.
You can search for process models by keyword or by defining advanced search criteria, and you can configure the following search options and do the following actions on this page:
Note:
Viewing information about instances, threshold status and enabling or disabling a process model for execution and analysis is not allowed in BAM only mode and for BAM only process models.
![*](chapterTOC_bullet.png)
Specify the search tab to display when initially opening the page.
![*](chapterTOC_bullet.png)
Specify the search to execute, if any, when initially opening the page.
![*](chapterTOC_bullet.png)
Define the search results display. You can sort the results, define the maximum number of rows to display, and define the columns to display.
![*](chapterTOC_bullet.png)
View a process model diagram.
![*](chapterTOC_bullet.png)
View information about running, failed, and other instances by hovering the cursor over the number of instances in those columns.
![*](chapterTOC_bullet.png)
Set thresholds for the archiving policy based on the number of process instances or data in the database.
![*](chapterTOC_bullet.png)
Enable or disable a process model for execution or analysis.
You can save the search criteria for any search you create, so you can re-execute those saved searches without having to reconstruct them. You can also add any search results to a workspace in My webMethods.
For instructions for all these tasks, see the PDF publication Working with My webMethods.
The Business Processes page displays the following information about available process models:
Column | Description |
Process Name | Name assigned to the process model in the application where the model was created. Click the link to view detailed information about each process model as described in
Viewing and Modifying Process Model
Information. If two or more versions of the process model are available, the information for the most recent version appears when you click this link. |
Model Version | Click the expansion icon ![](../monitor-webhelp/images/Icon_expand.gif) next to the process name to view versions of the process model, if available. Model versions are applicable only for webMethods-executed process models. Click the link to view detailed information about each version as described in
Viewing and Modifying Process Model
Information. |
Analysis | Note: This field is applicable only to webMethods-executed and externally-executed process models. You cannot enable an integration process for analysis. Click the enabled icon ![Enabled icon](../monitor-webhelp/images/model_enabled.png) or the disabled icon ![Disabled icon](../monitor-webhelp/images/model_disabled.png) in the row for the process model to enable or disable for analysis. |
Execution Enabled | Indicates whether Process Engine uses this version of a webMethods-executed process model to start new process instances. You can only enable one version of a webMethods-executed process model at a time. Click the enabled icon ![Enabled icon](../monitor-webhelp/images/model_enabled.png) or the disabled icon ![Disabled icon](../monitor-webhelp/images/model_disabled.png) in the row for the process model to enable or disable for execution. |
Used | Indicates whether the process model version has been used for at least one process instance. Yes. The process model version has been used at least once. No. The process model version has never been used; that is, there have never been any instances of this model version. When a version of a model has never been used, you can delete the model version. Unavailable. Monitor is currently not able to provide use information because the server used to log instances of the model version is not available. |
Total Instances | Displays the total number of instances of the process model. Hover your mouse over the total number of instances to see statistics about the number of Running, Completed, Failed and Other instances. The color of the indicator is different based on the threshold number: ![*](chapterTOC_bullet.png) Green - when the number of instances run is less than 1/4 of the threshold. ![*](chapterTOC_bullet.png) Yellow - when the number of instances run is between 1/4 and 3/4 of the threshold. ![*](chapterTOC_bullet.png) Red - when the number of instances run is more than 3/4 of the threshold. The indicator shows you when to archive the instances based on the threshold set for that process. |
Date Deployed | Date and time the process model was last updated in the Process Audit Log database component. |
