Monitoring Rules in Process Instance Manager

This topic describes the procedure to monitor rules in the Process Instance Manager.

Rule monitoring helps in monitoring the execution of the Decision Table by showing the rules of the Decision Table that were executed along with color coding to denote if the condition of each particular rule was satisfied or not.

Note: Monitoring of rules is possible only when the Decision Table is used as an Activity in BPM. Rule monitoring is not feasible for Web services on the Decision Table.

Before you begin this task:

  • Ensure that the Monitoring options is enabled while setting the properties of the relevant Activity of the BPM , so that the Activity Status, Input messages, and Output messages are monitored. By default, this option is disabled.
  • Ensure the Rule Management service container is in the Started state.
  1. In the My Applications palette, click (Process Instance Manager). The Process Instance Manager appears with a list of business processes that have process instances.
  2. Open the Activities View for the required process instance in the Process Instance Manager.
  3. Right-click the Decision Table Activity and select Show Decision Table Details. The Rule Monitoring dialog box appears, displaying the Decision Table with all the rules that were executed.
    All the rules whose conditions are not satisfied are displayed in red and the rules that have passed are displayed in green.
