Process details

All instances view

When you select a specific process from the Processes table, a table of all instances for that process appears. Additionally, you can view a diagram representing the process model by selecting a single version in the table.



Roles and permissions

The processes in this view are based on the permissions you have as a user in Orchestrator, more specifically:
  • a folder permission for jobs view, or you can use the predefined Automation User folder role.
  • a tenant permission for packages view, or you can use the predefined Allow to be Automation User tenant role.

Single instance view

When you select a single instance from the All instances view, a diagram showing the execution status of each step appears. This diagram is accompanied by the instance execution trail and pertinent variable and action history data. The single instance view allows you to see the entire execution trail, action history, step details, and global variables in one centralized location.

The instance execution trail clearly delineates each step in the instance process’s execution, including hierarchical steps such as agents and subprocesses. To further investigate, you can select a specific node on the diagram or a step in the Execution trail. The selected component will be highlighted in blue, revealing details such as step ID, label, input/output variables, execution duration, and links to additional tasks, such as opening a job or app task.

Lastly, the Action history tab displays details for instance management actions that have been taken,including details about the action performed, the individual responsible, and any comments provided. This exhaustive information ensures complete transparency and traceability of each step in the instance execution.



Managing an instance

You can also manage the instance, including pause, resume, retry, cancel, move, and migrate. When you perform one of these actions, there is a comment section where you can log additional details. These comments are then shown in the action history section.

Pause

Performing the pause action on an instance pauses the execution after all currently running steps have completed.

Resume

Performing resume on an instance will resume the execution.

Retry

Performing the retry action on an instance restarts all the current activities in the workflow from the last completed step. Typically this is done after editing a variable or updating something in an external system for a faulted instance.

Migrate

Performing the migrate action on an instance upgrades it to a different version of the process. This allows you to update the instance with the latest logic and configurations from the target version.

Cancel

Performing the cancel action on an instance will stop all current activities and terminate their progress in the agentic process. This action is irreversible.
Note: If you cancel an instance that contains a human-in-the-loop task, Maestro automatically deletes that task, so you don't have to go to Action Center and remove it manually.

Move

Executing the Move action on an instance enables you to alter the sequence by relocating the execution to a different process element. This is typically applied to faulted or paused instances when a prior step requires re-execution or when you want to bypass the current steps and proceed to later ones.

After performing the move, you must select either the Retry or Migrate option to resume execution.
Note: This operation might result in disruption to the ongoing execution path and potentially impact process consistency. Certain variable values needed at the new location may not generate automatically, necessitating potential manual updates for accuracy.
