BW Processes

This tab displays only for process engines.

Select Active Processes, Process Starter, Process Definitions or Locks.

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.

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) — Time taken for all executions of the activity 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 requester display. You can export lock information to a comma separated file, or kill a lock, if necessary. See the TIBCO BusinessWorks Process Design Guide for more information.
