Monitoring Workflow Executions

To monitor the execution of workflows or workflow actions, select the Process Runs folder in the LiveCompare hierarchy to display the Monitor Process Runs screen. This screen lists the workflows that are running or scheduled, or have completed in each of LiveCompare’s registered workspaces. Note that if LiveCompare is project-controlled and you are logged in as a user with LiveCompare Editor privileges, only the workflows in your current project are displayed.

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

Workspace

The name of the workspace containing the workflow or workflow action.

Workflow

The name of the workflow. Click a link in the Workflow column to display the selected workflow.

Run Status

The execution status of the workflow or workflow action. This column contains one of the following values:

Value	Description
<Blank>	No actions from the workflow have been run or scheduled for execution.
Running	The workflow or workflow action is currently running. These rows are highlighted in green. Click the ‘+’ icon to display the associated username and the start time for the execution.
Success	The workflow or workflow action completed successfully. Click the ‘+’ icon to display execution details for the workflow or workflow action.
InQueue	The workflow or workflow action has been queued because the limit on the number of workflows that can be run at the same time has been reached. These rows are highlighted in pink. As running workflows complete, any queued workflows or workflow actions will be started automatically in sequence. Click the ‘+’ icon to display name of the user who executed or scheduled the queued workflow.
Aborting	The workflow or workflow action is aborting. These rows are highlighted in yellow. Click the ‘+’ icon to display further details. If the workflow or workflow action remains in the ‘Aborting’ state for some time, click the ‘Kill’ button to terminate the workflow’s process on the LiveCompare server.
Aborted	The workflow or workflow action has been aborted.
Error Termination	The workflow or workflow action terminated with an error. These rows are highlighted in red. Click the ‘+’ icon to display further details.
Unknown Termination	The workflow or workflow action terminated with an unknown error. Click the ‘+’ icon to display further details.

Schedule Info

If a workflow has been scheduled for execution, this column displays the workflow’s schedule, and has a blue background. Click the ‘+’ icon to display the details for the schedule. The details display includes ‘Reschedule’, ‘Unschedule’ and ‘Disable’ buttons (or an ‘Enable’ button) which may be used to manage the workflow’s schedule.

To refresh the display periodically after a specified number of seconds, enter a value in the ‘Refresh Interval:’ field and click ‘Set Interval’. To prevent the display from being refreshed, click ‘Stop Refresh’. To refresh the display immediately, click ‘Refresh Now’.

Click ‘Details...’ next to a workflow in the Monitor Process Runs screen to display the workflow’s Process Run screen.

If you have LiveCompare Editor privileges, click ‘Run…’ next to a workflow in the Monitor Process Runs screen to schedule a workflow for execution. Click ‘Abort’ to abort a running workflow or to cancel a scheduled task.
