Working With Process Scheduler Steps

This section discusses how to:

• View Process Scheduler logs.

• Restart Process Scheduler steps.

• Cancel Process Scheduler steps.

Viewing Process Scheduler Logs

If in your upgrade environment you have configured Change Assistant to be able to access Process Scheduler logging information, you can view the Process Scheduler processing information from within Change Assistant just as you would for any other step (click on the step and select Edit, View Log).

The status returned by Change Assistant for the step matches the status returned by Process Scheduler itself. The log files generated by Process Scheduler are not parsed for warnings or errors. Therefore, even though Change Assistant may show a status of Complete for a Process Scheduler step type, you should review the generated log files for more details.

Restarting Process Scheduler Steps

If a Process Scheduler step has failed or has been stopped, you can restart the process by setting the step to Restart. This is most useful for restart-aware process definitions using Application Engine. When a step has been set to Restart, Change Assistant resubmits the process requests to Process Scheduler.

Canceling Process Scheduler Steps

While Change Assistant is executing the ProcessScheduler step, you can force stop the step, by clicking on the step and selecting Run, Force Stop. This is equivalent to stopping or cancelling scheduled processes on the Process Scheduler. When you 'force stop' the step, Change Assistant connects to the Process Scheduler, which issues "cancel" commands to the appropriate processes.
