Process Runs

The Process Runs screen allows you to monitor the execution of workflows or workflow actions in the Studio interface. It is displayed by selecting the Process Runs folder in the LiveCompare hierarchy. The screen lists the workflows that are running or scheduled, or have completed or failed in each of LiveCompare’s registered workspaces. Note that if LiveCompare is resource group-controlled and you are logged in as a user with LiveCompare Editor privileges, only the workflows in your current resource group are displayed.

Subfolders of the Process Runs folder list:

  • Workflows that are currently running.

  • Workflows that have failed or been aborted.

  • Workflows that have completed successfully.

  • Workflows that are scheduled to run.

The Process Runs screen displays a table with the following columns. Click a heading to sort the table by values in the selected column.
