Workflow Instances View

Workflow Instances is an interactive area that allows you to perform various actions, such as viewing, monitoring, controlling, and debugging workflow instances.

In the workflow display, you can choose a specific workflow instance to view, or you can view all instances of the selected workflow. If you select Show all instances, information for all current workflow instances displays. If you select Show instances of selected object, information for only the selected workflow instance displays. This display also provides information on the current runtime and debug state of the workflow instance.

You can use the headings of this display to sort workflow instances. For example, if you click on the State heading, all workflow instances are sorted alphabetically by state.

Instance Details

This section provides general information about a selected workflow instance, such as the Instance ID, the name of the workflow definition and the schedule it is attached to, the date and time the instance was started, as well as how it was started. The values of input parameters passed to this workflow are also listed in this section.

Instance Control

This section allows you to interact with a selected workflow instance. You can control it through the following commands:

  • Stop

    Use this button to halt the workflow by cancelling the current subprocess and executing the post-process steps.

  • Restart

    Use this button to reset the workflow instance at the start of the current subprocess and continue running it. You can use this button to restart a workflow if it has not been configured to restart automatically.

  • Terminate

    Use this button to end the workflow instance at the current execution point. The post-process steps do not run and the instance cannot be restarted.

Debugging Control

This section allows you to start a debugging session for a workflow instance. For more information on these commands, see Debugging a workflow instance.
