To get an overview over the number and status of activity instances and process instances, open the Business Process Manager in the Business Process Manager Perspective.
Figure: Process Manager View
The Priority Overview displays the numbers of instances per process definition categorized by priorities. All processes are taken in account, which the logged-in user has the declarative security permission Read Process Instance Data for. This permission is defined for the process definition in the modeler. Please refer to the section Authorization for Process Definitions of the chapter Authorization in the Stardust Online Documentation - Modeling Guide Authorization for Process Definitions of the Authorization chapter in the Modeling Guide for detailed information on the Read Process Instance Data permission.
The list contains the following entries:
The list of activity and process instances according to priorities is subdivided in Total Count, listing all instances, and Critical Count, listing the critical instances. The section Criticality describes how criticality is defined for activity and process instances.
Expand the process definition entries to open new table rows representing the activities instances.
If the Description is added in the Properties page for the model in modeler, then it is displayed as tooltip text in the portal when you hover the mouse over the model name.

The status shows the criticality in terms of a traffic light colors, whereby the colors have the following meaning:
To control the state symbol, assign a valid class name (including the package name) that

Carnot.Threshold.Provider. Set this property in your carnot.properties file, residing in

The target processing time is the Target Processing Time property set during the modeling process for the activity or process instance. This property can be set as controlling parameter for the process definition. For details on this property refer to chapter Working with Process Definitions of the Stardust Online Documentation - Developer Modeling Guide. Working with Process Definitions in the Developer Modeling Guide.
The count of interrupted processes is displayed to access and restart according activity instances. You can view the specific interrupted processes and according activities by clicking on the count that is greater than zero.
Whether a process or an activity instance becomes critical will be decided based on global percentage thresholds (p1, p2, p3) of the target execution time. This is obtained via an algorithm specified based on the process duration and the priority:
Whereby the global percentage threshold is determined via the property
Carnot.Critical.Duration.Threshold in your carnot.properties file, residing in
in the
Carnot.Critical.Duration.Threshold.1 = 1.25 Carnot.Critical.Duration.Threshold.0 = 1.5 Carnot.Critical.Duration.Threshold.-1 = 2.0
The target execution time is the Target Execution Time property set during the modeling process for the process instance. This property can be set as controlling parameter for the process definition. For details on this property refer to chapter Working with Process Definitions of the Stardust Online Documentation - Developer Modeling Guide. Working with Process Definitions in the Developer Modeling Guide.
Per default, the activities are displayed in the order the transition graph is created in the model. This means, for a process with a linear activity-transition graph, the activities are displayed in the sequence of activities. For a graph with parallel threads, the order is one thread after the other.
In case you like to change that default behavior, add the property Infinity.Engine.Process.SortActivitiesInTransitionOrder to your carnot.properties file with the value false. The activities will then be ordered by the creation order of the activities in the modeler.
Per default, process definitions that are not business relevant are not displayed in the Priority Overview table. These processes are marked as "Is Auxiliary Process" in the modeler. Please refer to chapter Working with Process Definitions of the Stardust Online Documentation - Modeling Guide Working with Process Definitions of the Modeling Guide for details.

You can show or hide the activities that are marked as "Is Auxiliary Activity" in the modeler. Please refer to chapter Specifying Activities of the Stardust Online Documentation - Modeling Guide Specifying Activities of the Modeling Guide for details.

Figure: Selected Processes
This section lists details about the process instance and case process instance.
For a detailed description on the columns and functionality of the process table in general, refer to chapter Working with Process Tables.
Note that the Selected Processes pane displays case process instances, if you click on the count of one of the case process. For detail information on case process instance, please refer to the Case Details View.
To represent an activity instance result set, click on a the activity drill-down link. The corresponding activity instance table will be displayed in the lower part of the screen.

Please note that only activities are displayed, which the logged-in user has the declarative security permission Read Process Instance Data and Read Activity Instance Data for. These permissions are defined in the modeler for the process definition and the activity accordingly. Please refer to the section Authorization for Activities Authorization for Activities for detailed information on the Read Activity Instance Data permission and the section Authorization for Process Definitions of the chapter Authorization in the Stardust Online Documentation - Modeling Guide Authorization for Process Definitions of the Authorization chapter in the Modeling Guide for detailed information on the Read Process Instance Data permission accordingly.
