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:

• Process Monitoring Perspective

  A description of the perspective

• Tasks

  Links to the most relevant topics that deal with tasks:

  • The Task List
  • Filtering Tasks
  • Including or Excluding Deactivated Tasks

• Task Status

  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.

• Reports

  As long as the Automation Engine is active, it writes execution data and logs reports. This information tracks all processes and lets you control and monitor all activities. This ensures full auditing capability.

• Working with Tasks

  These topics describe the actions you can perform on tasks

• Monitors

  Many task types have their own monitor view. Combined with the list of Executions and with the reports, the monitors provide all the information you need to understand how tasks behave.
