Monitoring and Managing Process Execution

3.Select a queue.

4.Choose Queue > Open. The Activity Queues window displays, showing the list of activities in the queue.

For each activity in the queue, the window displays the activity name, activity ID, activity state, prioritizing value (value of the queue prioritizing process attribute), and process ID.

If you want more information about an activity in the queue, you can open the activity property inspector by selecting the activity and choosing Activity > Open (see “Checking the Status of an Activity” on page 185). If you want to change the position of an activity in the queue, see “Reprioritizing a Queued Activity,” below.

Reprioritizing a Queued Activity

If a queued activity is not making it to the top of an activity queue because the value of its queue prioritizing process attribute always places it toward the bottom of its queue, you can change the value of the process attribute to reprioritize the activity in the queue. You must be careful when performing this operation, however, since other process logic might also depend on the value of the process attribute.

To reprioritize a queued activity

1.Open the Activity Queue window for the queued activity.

See Step 1 through Step 4 under “Checking the Status of an Activity Queue” on page 188.

2.Select the activity in the activity list.
