About the Administration-Business Process Views

This topic provides descriptions for views found in the Administration-Business Process view.

Workflow Deployment View

The Workflow Deployment view allows you to deploy and activate a workflow process. This view displays the parent/child relationship between a workflow process and its run-time records. For detailed information on a chosen workflow process, drill down on the process name in the top applet to navigate to a form applet. To use this view, navigate to Administration-Business Process > Workflow Deployment.

Table 59 describes child views for the Workflow Deployment view.

Description

Active Workflow Processes

This view lists workflow process definitions that have been deployed.

Child Items

This view filters records to display only child items of the process definition chosen in the parent list applet.

Workflow Instance Admin View

The Workflow Instance Admin view displays processes that are in running, waiting, error states, and that have persistence set. The view allows you to view, monitor and control workflow processes. For a chosen instance, you can change the value of the process properties before resuming the instance. To use this view, navigate to Administration-Business Process > Workflow Instance Admin.

Note that persistence for a version 7.0 workflow is set if the workflow process has a Wait step or the workflow's Auto Persist flag is checked.

Table 60 describes applets in the Workflow Admin View.

Description

All Workflow Process Instances

The top applet in this view lists workflow process instances that are running, in an error state, or in a waiting state.

Related Instances

This applet displays the associated processes for the chosen parent workflow process-subprocesses and error processes.

Process Properties

This applet displays the process properties for the process instance chosen in the Related Instances applet. You can change the value of these process properties before resuming an instance that is waiting or in an error state.

Workflow Instance Monitor View

The Workflow Instance Monitor view provides a log of workflow instances. The Workflow Instance Monitor allows you to monitor workflow process instances in most states, as well as step instances and aggregate data. To access this view, in the Siebel client navigate to Administration-Business Process > Workflow Instance Monitor.

Table 61 describes views available in the Workflow Instance Monitor.

Description

Workflow Process

The Workflow Process applet displays workflow definitions for workflow processes that have monitoring turned on, that is, the Monitoring Level is not NONE.

Process Instances

Displays the related log instances for the chosen workflow process.

Step Instances

Displays the steps and process properties for the chosen process instance.

Aggregate Data

Displays aggregate data as a chart view for the chosen workflow process.
About the Monitoring Level

When the Monitoring level is set for a deployed workflow process definition, the workflow process instance remains in the Workflow Instance Monitor view after it has finished and is no longer visible in the Workflow Instance Admin view.

Depending on the monitoring level set for the chosen workflow process, you might see no records in the Step Instances and Aggregate Data applets. For more information, see Setting Workflow Process Monitoring Levels.

Workflow Processes View

The Workflow Processes view allows you to review workflow processes defined prior to Siebel version 7.7. To use this view, navigate to Administration-Business Process > Workflow Processes.

Note that the Workflow Processes view and its child views are read-only views used specifically for reviewing workflow processes defined prior to version 7.7. You view new workflows that you create in the Workflow Processes OBLE in Siebel Tools.
