Monitoring Tasks

As a developer and object designer, after defining your objects in the Process Assembly perspective, you execute them to check if they behave as expected. As an operator, you supervise tasks (your running automated processes), analyze problems and take action to remediate them. You find the information and tools that you need for these purposes in the Process Monitoring perspective.

The following chapters guide you through this process:

  Tasks can have many status depending on their object type, their execution type, their configuration, and so forth. This topic and its sub topics describe all available status. They also list the functions that are available to tasks depending on their status.

• Execution Data

  To help you monitor and troubleshoot, every execution is recorded and stored in the form of historical data. The lists of Executions provide key information about what happened on each execution of each task.

  These topics describe the actions you can perform on tasks
