Understanding Process Flow

Description of fields on the Process Flow page

Process - Comprised of a user-assigned process code and name.

Frequency - The default is “once” unless a recurring schedule is selected.

Start Date - Start date and time entered in the Scheduler when adding the process.

Status - Status is automatically updated based on the frequency and recurrence end date/occurrences set in the Scheduler. The status options are:

1. Unscheduled - A Process Flow that is saved without entering scheduler details or the Save & Schedule button is not selected on the Process Flow page. No Jobs are added to Job Manager for Unscheduled Process Flows.
2. Active – A Process Flow with scheduler details or the Save and Schedule button is selected on the Process Flow page, there are active jobs for the Process Flow, and the Process Flow is not expired.
3. Inactive- A Process Flow that is expired or contains no active jobs.

When you run the process flow using Run Now without scheduling, the system sets the process status to Unscheduled.

When you schedule the process flow for a one-time run without repetition, the system sets the status to Active. Once the job is completed, the system updates the status to Inactive.

If Scheduler details are modified to run an inactive job again at a later date, the status is automatically updated back to ‘Unscheduled ’ or ‘Active’.

For recurring schedules, the Process Flow status is automatically updated to ‘Inactive’ when the last job is run based on the recurrence end date or at the end of all occurrences.
