Workflow Instance Management

You can view the status of your workflow, its resources and the number of these resources currently running. This information is displayed in the Overview section when you are configuring your workflow.

Run-time Status

A workflow whose status is set to Enabled can be used in a live production environment. All resources, such as schedules, associated with that workflow must also be enabled. A workflow whose status is set to Disabled cannot be used in a run-time state; however, it can be edited and run in test mode.

Note: If a workflow is a duplicate of another enabled workflow, it must be enabled again after it is duplicated.

Instance Behavior

You can define the allowed behavior of a workflow. Select from the following options:
  • Allow multiple instances of a workflow to run at the same time.
  • Disable persistence for instances of a workflow.
    Tip: Persistence is disabled by default, which provides better performance of your workflow. To support recovery in the event of server problems, or to stop and restart your workflow, enable persistence by removing the selection from this check box.
  • Automatically restart stopped instances of a workflow when the server start.
