Process Template List Columns

The process template list is divided into columns that show you information about your process templates.

The following table describes the columns that show you information about the process templates in your list:

Column Name Description
Name The name of the process template. This is defined in TIBCO Business Studio at design-time.
Description A description of the process template. This is defined in TIBCO Business Studio at design-time.
Version Identifies the version of the process template.
Module Identifies the module name.
Purge Identifies whether the purging strategy is Immediate or Deferred. See Purging Process Instances.
Duration Identifies the amount of time that passes before completed process instances are purged. The duration is set using the bpelMaintenancePurgeProcessInterval property in the pvm.properties file. See "Process Engine Properties (pvm.properties)" in TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Administration Guide for more information.
Note:
  • All users can see the Purge and Duration columns. However, if you want to change the purging strategy for a process template you must be logged in as a user that has the bulkPurgeProcessInstances system action assigned to it.
  • You can sort and filter the list of process templates on Name, Description, Version and Module. You cannot sort or filter the process templates using Purge or Duration. See Process Templates and Process Instances Filters and Sorting Process Templates for more information.

The following table describes the columns in the bottom pane that show you information about the process instances in your list.

Column Name Description
Id A unique alphanumeric value identifying this particular process instance.
State Indicates the current status of the process instance, see Refreshing the Process Template List .
Priority This is a numeric value that has been assigned to the process instance by an administrator. The numeric value assigns a relative importance to the process instance, which allows users to prioritize their work.
Starter The username of the Openspace user who started this particular process instance.
Start Time The date and time the process instance started.
End Time The date and time the process instance ended.
Duration The duration of the process instance.
Template The name of the process template. This is defined in TIBCO Business Studio at design-time.
Error Msg An auditable message that has been generated by TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM. See the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Administration guide for more information.
Failed Activity The name of the task that failed. See Administering Halted Process Instances Overview for more information.
Failed Date The date the task failed. See Administering Halted Process Instances Overview for more information.

Not all columns are displayed by default. You can select which columns are displayed using the Column Selector dialog. See Customizing Columns for more information. Note that some columns may be empty, depending on the state of your process instances. For example, Error Msg, Failed Activity and Failed Date only contain information if your process instance is halted or failed.
