Chapter 6 Managing and Monitoring Process Engines : View Service Instance Dialog

View Service Instance Dialog
The following tabs are available:
General Tab
General
Displays the following information about a process engine or service instance:
Status of the component. If stopped, click start to start it. If running, click stop to stop it.
Statistics
This pane only displays for process engines.
Active Alerts
Displays information about the active alerts for this component.
BW Processes
This tab displays only for process engines.
Select Active Processes, Process Starters, Process Definitions, Locks, Recoverable Processes, or Blocked Resources.
Active Processes
Displays active process engines. As a rule, this includes process engines that are suspended or waiting. Examples include process engines that contain a Wait activity and are waiting in a loop. All other process engines usually complete before TIBCO Administrator is updated by auto-refresh and are therefore not displayed.
Process Starters
Displays all process starters in the process engine. You can then select individual process starters and enable or disable them. This can be useful, for example, if you wish to understand the performance impact of one of the process engines.
Process Definitions
Use the search field to limit the display. The * character can be used as a wildcard. Click a process engine to display the process definition details. The following information is displayed.
Locks
Lock object shared configuration resources are used by Critical Section groups to ensure that only one process engine executes the activities within a Critical Section group at a time. The lock name, wait position, process id and requestor display. You can export lock information to a comma separated file, or kill a lock, if necessary. See the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Process Design Guide for more information.
Recoverable Processes
Recoverable processes are process instances that have been checkpointed but not restarted. The Recoverable Processes option allows you to manage recoverable processes and either restart or remove them. See Managing Recoverable Process Instances for more information.
Blocked Resources
A process instance can become blocked when resources that it depends upon are unavailable and TIBCO Enterprise Management Advisor blocks their use. For example, a process instance my require a database connection. This option allows you to resume a blocked process instance once the resource becomes available. See Using TIBCO Enterprise Management Advisor for more information.
Tracing Tab
Allows you to view the trace logs for this application. You can create one or more search conditions to narrow the search scope.
To see the default log, leave Where File is <project.component>.log and click Search.
The log may grow quite large, and you are therefore encouraged to add one or more a search conditions before you click Search. The number of lines displayed is governed by tibcoadmin.monitor.traceLogMaxLines in tibcoadmin_<domain>.tra and defaults to 1000.
Graceful Shutdown Tab
Edit
Click to change the parameters under this tab.
Kill Jobs Timeout
Kill Jobs Timeout specifies the maximum timeout in seconds the process engine will wait for jobs to finish before shutting down the engine. A zero (0) value means 0 seconds, which effectively turns the graceful shutdown into an immediate shutdown.
Wait for Checkpoint
When selected, causes the process engine to wait for all jobs to finish (up to the maximum timeout) before shutting down the engine, rather than removing jobs at their next checkpoint.
