Performing Operations in Process Instance Manager

This topic describes the procedure to perform operations on business process instances from the Process Instance Manager (PIM).

To control the process instances during run-time, you need to perform certain operations in the Process Instance Manager.
You can perform the following operations in the Process Instance Manager.

Suspend: Pause or hold a waiting or running process instance.
Resume : Restart a suspended process instance.
Restart: Restart an aborted process instance.
Restart All: Restart all the aborted process instances for a particular model or over a selection of models.
Terminate: Stop a process instance that is not completed.

In My Applications palette, click (Process Instance Manager). The Process Instance Manager appears, displaying a list of business processes that contain process instances.
Do one of the following to suspend, resume, restart, or terminate a process instance:
