Example: Designing and Monitoring Objects

As a developer and object designer, you configure objects and execute them once to verify that they behave as expected. You monitor their executions and, if something goes wrong, you return to the object configuration. After making the necessary changes, you execute and monitor them again.

As an operator, you monitor tasks and open their execution lists, reports, and source objects to understand their behavior.

For easier design and troubleshooting, open several browser windows simultaneously and arrange them side by side on your screen.

Example: Designing a Workflow and Verifying its Design

In the Process Assembly perspective, create the Workflow and insert the tasks. You can use the drag and drop function for this purpose.
Link the objects by drawing connecting lines.
If necessary, define task-specific properties.
Save the Workflow and execute it once.
To open the Workflow monitor in a separate browser tab, middle-click the Last Monitor button on the Workflow editor toolbar.
To detach the tab from the current browser window, select and drag it to a different area on your screen.
Minimize the windows that display the Workflow editor and the Workflow monitor and arrange them side by side.

Example: Defining a Job and Checking its Report

In the Process Assembly perspective, create the Job, save it and execute it once.
Open the Job report in a separate browser tab. You have the following options:
- Middle-click the Last Report button on the toolbar
- Right-click and expand Monitoring. Then middle-click Last Report
The Last Report of <Job name> is displayed.

Detach and arrange the report window beside the window where you define the Job. The report window is synchronized with the Job. If you change Job attributes and execute it again, the Last Report of <Job name> window reflects these changes after you have refreshed it.

The following browser functions help you work comfortably and efficiently:
