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.

Add Search Condition — You can add one or more search condition to narrow the display.
Export — Click to export information about the selected process engine to a comma-separated file.
Kill — Stops the selected process engine.
Suspend — Suspends the selected process engine.
Resume — Resumes the selected suspended process engine.

Statistic

Description

Process ID

ID of the running process instance.

Status

Status of the process.

Tracking ID

Tracking ID for the process instance.

Custom ID

Custom ID for the process instance.

Start Time

Time when the process instance started.

Duration (ms)

Elapsed clock time (in milliseconds) since the process instance started.

Process Defn

Name of the process definition.

Current Activity

Name of the currently executing activity in the process instance.

Starter

Name of the process starter that started this process instance.

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.

Name — Activity for which throughput is displayed.
Called Process — This field only shows information if you’re running a process engine called by another process engine.
Execution Count — Number of jobs in which this activity is currently participating.
Elapsed Time (ms) — Average time this activity took to complete.
CPU time (ms) — CPU time used by this activity.
Errors — Number of errors encountered for this activity.
Status — Activity status.
Function — Name of the activity resource.
details — Click details for more detailed information about this particular activity.

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. For more information, see TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Process Design Guide.

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. For more information, see Managing Recoverable Process Instances.

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. For more information, see Using TIBCO Enterprise Management Advisor.
