7 Monitor a Workflow Submission

Oracle Orchestration gives you an intuitive way to view and analyze both the current and historic status of workflow submissions using the Orchestration Workflows dashboard. The Orchestration Workflows dashboard provides an overview of all workflow submissions and execution activity. Each widget and data grid provides valuable information and insight into the status and health of your workflows.

The information displayed in a widget or data grid pertains to a specific date range, which lets you view workflow behavior more accurately. Each widget and data grid has its own time selector.

The summary region provides a count of the total number of workflow executions as well as a breakdown of the total by status (successful, failed or running).

Execution Details contains detailed information for Running, Completed and Scheduled workflow executions.

• Running Executions displays the status and step details for workflow executions that are executing but not yet completed.

• Completed Executions displays detailed information about workflow executions that have completed all steps included in the overall elapsed time and step count by status.

• Scheduled Executions displays a list of scheduled workflow submissions including their next scheduled execution time and the user who submitted the workflow.

Viewing Workflow Execution Details

You can drill down to view detailed information about a specific workflow execution by clicking on the workflow Execution ID link in the Orchestration Workflows dashboard.

From this page, you can view the workflow’s execution summary. The execution summary shows you information such as the name, status, submitted by, total workers, total steps, start & end time, and target entities. The execution is displayed in a tree view, which gives you an easy way to drill-down further into individual step-level details such as the corresponding input, output and results. It also provides convenient access to the execution logs as well as a direct link to Oracle Log Analytics.

Viewing Workflow Execution Details for Nested Workflows

Nested workflows have the additional ability to show execution details for both the Parent and Child workflows. You can view detailed information about a Parent workflow execution by clicking on the workflow Execution ID link in the Orchestration Workflows dashboard. Within the Execution Details tree for the parent workflow a Workflow step type will show an Operation stage. This Operation stage is a clickable link; it will open a new browser tab with the Execution Details for the Child workflow where you can view the exact same information and details as any other workflow.
