Process execution settings

From the level of BPM process designer, it is possible to set parameters of a process affecting its visibility, priority or method of tracking in the system. Those parameters can be changed from the level of the main menu or upon clicking with right mouse button on selected process.

Process publication

In order to use a process, it is necessary to publish it with the use of [Change Publication] button. The information indicating whether a process has been published can be found on the list of processes, in Published column.

Priority of processes execution

From the level of the list of processes it is possible to specify the priority of execution of a process, by clicking on [Change Priority] button. By default, the priority of all global processes is set to normal. In such case the order of processing all planned processed is determined by FIFO mode. It means that processes are executed in that order in which they have been started and added to the queue. Assigning higher priorities to processes which are more important as regards operational activities will allow them to be executed first.

Note
Upon setting a high priority for complex and time-consuming processes, process with lower priorities might not be executed because they will be continuously placed at the end of the queue.

Changing a priority for a process definition does not affect the time for execution of already queued (started) processes. It is not possible to speed up or postpone an already queued process.

Tracking profiles

From the level of the list of processes it is possible to change tracking profiles defining detail level of diagnostic information saved in the database when executing a process. Such information is used during the work with process monitoring. Normally, in the system there are 4 profiles available:

Selecting tracking profile
Hint
It is recommended to use the profile of detailed and complete tracking only in justified cases, e.g., when implementing a newly created process or verifying a process which generates errors. The higher level of detail of a tracking profile, the more data is stored in the database, as a result of which the execution of a process is slower.

From the level of the window of process addition/modification, it is possible to open the list of tracking profiles. To do so, it is necessary to select [Profiles] button, available in the main menu. Detailed description of adding and editing processes can be found in article Process modification.

List of tracking profiles

From the level of the list of tracking profiles, besides of selecting profiles, it is also possible to add, modify or delete them. The user can also select a given profile as default.

Note
It is not possible to modify or delete standard tracking profiles.

The user can define his/her own tracking profiles by selecting the type of information which will be subject to the analysis.
