This page shows how to use the Process Inspector to monitor, restart, retrigger, cancel and delete Instances.

The Process Inspectors allows you to list, inspect and control Instances. Each Instance of any Process has a State associated to it as it executes its Activities. The Instance moves through a number of States creating a Lifecycle:

• Started - The Instance has been created but no Activities have been completed yet. All Instances start in this Status.
• In Progress - At least one Activity is completed but there are one or more Activities still to be executed in this Instance.
• Running - Collective State for Started and In Progress.
• Closed - The Instance has reached the End Activity. This is the default end of the Lifecycle. If the Process History is disable, the Instance will be deleted, once Closed is reached. If the Process History is enabled the Instance will be kept until it is deleted manually. The Process History setting is enabled or disabled by the Disable process history setting in the Process Properties.
• Canceled - The execution was canceled by a User with the required rights. Canceled Instances can be deleted when they are not needed anymore, or they can be restarted to resume to the Activity active before the Instance was canceled.
• Faulted - The execution of the Instance failed in one particular Activity due to an Error or Exception. Faulted Processes can be canceled so that they change their status to Canceled. It is also possible to retry the execution of the Activity that failed. This is called Retrigger and changes the Status from Faulted to In Progress.

More information on the Process Inspector is shown in this getting general reference.
