Viewing the status of an activation policy

  1. Open the Active Activation Policies management page.
    In the upper part of the Activation Policies page, this information is displayed:
    Name
    The unique name that identifies the activation policy.
    Policy Type
    This field displays one of these types:
    • Start

      The policy is used to start a workflow.

    • Cancel

      The policy is used to cancel a workflow.

    Version
    The activation policy version. The version number is increased every time the activation policy is deactivated, changed, and activated again.
    Workflow and Workflow Version
    The workflow that is, or will be, started or canceled by the policy.
    Activation Date
    The date and time the policy was activated.
    Status
    The status of the activation policy. This field displays one of these statuses:
    • Running

      The activation policy is currently running.

    • Paused

      The activation policy is paused.

    • Winding up

      The activation policy is deactivated, but still has alerts open. The activation policy remains visible in the manage pages as long as the corresponding workflow definition is also visible in the manage pages. When the workflow definition is also deactivated and all started workflow instances are completed, the workflow and the activation policy are automatically moved to the archive pages.

    Documents Processed
    The number of documents that are processed by the activation policy.
    Events
    The number of events that happened. An event is the starting of a new workflow instance or the cancelation of a running workflow instance.
    You can filter the list of active activation policies by Activation Policy Name, Status, Activation Date, and Deactivation Date.
    You can Pause or Resume the selected activation policy or policies. If the activation policy is Paused, no workflows are started or canceled by the activation policy. The incoming BODs are still monitored. Therefore, after resuming the activation policy, workflows are started or canceled for any documents that arrived in the meantime, if these documents match the activation policy rule.
  2. To view the details of an active activation policy, select the policy and click View Model.
    If the activation policy was changed and activated again, several variants are displayed and you must select one of them to see. A read-only view of the activation policy model is displayed. Click the Back icon button to return to the list of active activation policies.
