Finding a specific Process execution is important when you want to view what has happened in that instance of the Process or to view the messages and other logging data relating to that Process execution.

Prerequisites

You will need the following prerequisites to follow through with this guide:

  • Process Instance viewer rights for your Frends Tenant.

  • An Environment with an Agent configured to run Processes.

Finding the Process

To find the specific instance, you need to first locate the correct Process as shown below:

  1. Navigate to the Process List View from the navigation menu by clicking on 'Processes'.

  2. Select the Agent Group in which your Process was run from the Agent Group drop-down menu.

  3. By default, only a set amount of columns are visible on the Process List page. To add more columns, you can press 'Control column visibility' button on the right side of the Process List.

  4. You can filter the Process List to narrow down the amount of visible Processes.

  5. You can view the Process Instances by pressing the Timeline graph or one of the execution counts on that Process row. By pressing the counts, you also filter the Process Instances to only show instances in that state. For example, pressing on the failed Processes count shows only failed Processes.

 

Finding the Process Instance

Now that we have found the Process, we can go on to finding the correct Process Instance. The Process Instance View contains a graph showing the number of Processes run and a list that holds more detailed information about executed Instances.


The Process Instances are retained for a configured amount of time. See documentation for more details.

Use the '<' and '>' buttons to scroll through different columns, and the Search tool can be used to narrow down the list of visible instances.


By default, only a set number of columns are visible on the Process Instance List. To add more columns, you can press the "..." button on the right side of the Process List. The Promoted results can be made visible and used for filtering in the Instance list.

Viewing Process Execution Details

The Process Execution details page contains the parameters and results for all the executed steps in a Process Instance.

The log level of the Process affects how much data is available to you in the Process Execution Details. See documentation for more details.

  1. Open a Process Details page by clicking on the Process Instance row in the Process Instance List.

  2. The Process Elements filled with a green background indicate the path that the Process took. When an error occurs in an execution, the Element is marked as red.

  3. You can click on the different Elements in the Process to view the parameters and results of that Element. The results for these Elements are formatted to make it easier to view, but you can click on the "Show raw" or "Copy value to clipboard" buttons to get the raw results.
