Business Process Instance Monitor Overview

After you have configured BPM persistence, you can use Enterprise Manager to monitor your Business Process instances. The procedures in this section help ensure that Business Processes appear in Enterprise Manager as expected. From Enterprise Manager, you can:

Filter the list of displayed instances to identify exceptions.
Navigate to particular versions of a Business Process to monitor the progress of instances.
Use a web-based interface to securely access the monitoring environment over the internet.

Before you connect to Enterprise Manager, verify that the Adobe SVG Plug-in for Enterprise Manager is installed. Before you begin monitoring Business Processes, you must deploy and manage any necessary application servers in Enterprise Manager.

From the Enterprise Manager’s Business Process Instance Monitor tab, you can suspend, resume, and terminate Business Process instances. You can also refresh the Business Process instance lists, change monitoring options, filter Business Process instances, and view the Business Process instances and their associated Business Process instances in various ways.

The Business Process Instance Monitor page provides a set of toolbars for viewing and evaluating Business Process instances. Before you start monitoring Business Process instances, be sure to acquaint yourself with these tools.
