Viewing Process History

You can execute several different types of processes in the system, including importing and exporting information and running custom processes. The period of time different processes take to complete varies, but all processes require at least some time during which you might want to continue working on other tasks or in other areas of the system.

The Process History Overview component allows you to check on the status of all processes you are running at any time, including system and scheduled processes.

You can access the Process History Overview from any page in the application by selecting Open Process History from the Actions menu on the Menu Bar.

The Process History Overview contains a list of processes that have been executed. The component opens on the Process History tab, which allows you to view the status and output of processes you have generated manually.

Note: The system does not display the finish time and success of a process until the process concludes and the page is refreshed.

You can locate a specific process by typing criteria in the Quick Find search box. You can also filter the list to show only recent, older, or processes currently running by selecting the appropriate value in the Status field above the list.

Each process row contains this information:

Note: The finish time and success of a process is not displayed until the process concludes and the page is refreshed.
Note: Generated reports do not display in the process history unless they were scheduled.
Note: If the output file that results from a process exceeds 100 MB in size, then the output is stored in multiple files with a maximum size of 50 MB each.

Process history rows can be deleted on this component, but not changed. To delete a process history row, select Delete from the Actions menu on the process history row. When you are finished, click the Save button. The system displays a message to confirm that your changes were saved in the database.

If output files have been generated by the process, the file name appears as a link in the Output Files field. You can open the output file to view it or save it by clicking the link. For more information, see Viewing and Saving Process Output Files.

Note: When you click the output files link, the system automatically marks the process history row as having been reviewed.
