Log View

In the

Active Process Detail page

, select the Logs tab to view a time-based list of executing activities. You can use the log to analyze process execution events, including data changes and faults. Navigate within the execution log to any point in time, for example, an iteration in While loop, and view the process state and data at that execution point. You can step through the events to see how a process changed over time.

The following shows an execution log.

Process Details window showing fault details

Use the execution log as follows:

Select a Filter to show data changes, faults, activity execution states, rewind points, or all. The Data Change filter shows variables whose content has changed, and also shows partner links and Logical People Groups that have been changed dynamically in an assign activity.

Highlight an event and select Go To Execution Point to put the event in focus on the canvas. The process’s state and data are based on a snapshot created at the selected log event.

After selecting Go To Execution Point, return to the currently executing activity in a running process by selecting Go To Current
in the upper-right corner of the window.

Once you select an event, switch back to Outline view to see a graph of the process in the selected execution state. Also from the outline, you can inspect the variables at that point in time.

Activity States

You can determine the execution status of each activity by looking at the icon next to the activity.

	Faulted. Occurs when a fault is thrown during the execution of an activity.
	Suspended (Faulting). Occurs when a fault is thrown during the execution of an activity and the fault is not caught. If desired, you can make corrections or resume suspended (faulting) processes.
	Terminated. Occurs when the process is manually terminated.
	Dead Path

For a running process, the icon next to an activity may change if you refresh the Process Details window.
