Viewing the status of a workflow

  1. Open the Active Workflows management page.
  2. The page contains this information:
    Workflow Name
    The unique name that identifies the workflow definition.
    Version
    The version of the workflow model. The version number is increased each time a workflow is deactivated, changed, and activated again.
    Activation Date
    The date and time the workflow was activated.
    Deactivation Date
    The date and time the workflow was deactivated. This field is empty as long as the workflow is active.
    Status
    One of these statuses:
    • Running

      The workflow definition is active.

    • Winding up

      The workflow definition is deactivated, but it still has running workflow instances. The workflow remains visible in the manage pages until all workflow instances are finished or canceled. After that, it is automatically moved to the archive pages.

    Running
    The number of workflow instances that are currently running.
    Completed
    The number of workflow instances that successfully finished.
    Canceled
    The number of workflow instances that were canceled.
    See Canceling workflow instances.
    Failed
    The number of workflow instances that stopped because of a failure.
    Total
    The total number of workflow instances that were started for the workflow definition.
    Total = Running + Canceled + Failed + Completed.
    You can filter the list of active workflows by Workflow Name, Status, Activation Date, and Deactivation Date.
  3. Optionally, complete these steps:
    1. To view the details of an active workflow definition, select the workflow and click View Model. If the workflow was changed and activated again, several variants are displayed and you must select one of them to see. A read-only view of the workflow model is displayed. Click the Back icon to return to the list of active workflows.
    2. To view the activation policies for a selected workflow, click Activation Policies.
    3. To view the instances for a selected workflow, click Workflow Instances.
