Run Business Process

After you uploaded the input data, designed the Business Process (BP) flow, and set run options, it is recommended to test the Business Process and then run it in production.

Test Business Process​

To execute a test run of a BP, perform the following actions:

  1. On the Run tab, click Run This Process to run the BP.

  2. If the BP is valid and started successfully, you will see the following message: Business Process started successfully! You can view the results of the BP, or view the BP you have just created in the BP list.

  3. Log in to Workspace. On the assignment list, find the Manual Tasks from the BP (if any) by names or tags and complete them.

  4. Go back to Control Tower. If needed, edit the BP run options and parameters on the Workflow and Data tabs.

    warning

    You cannot modify steps in a running Business Process. To make updates, pause or stop it.

  5. Copy the BP with data. You can also stop or delete the original BP if you do not need it.

If the test run is successful, you can run the same BP in production. Subsequently, you can set the BP to launch automatically on schedule. For detailed instructions, see Schedule Business Process.

note

  • If you have more than one bot working in a BP execution, the BP is run simultaneously with the maximum number of available required bots.

  • If Input data includes multiple records, those are distributed among available bots.

Watch BP progress​

To watch the BP progress and get real-time statistics, use the BP scheme on the Workflow tab or that on the Run tab.

From a BP design scheme, you can get the following information:

  • Each task has an indicator with the percentage and number of handled records. In the example below, it is 67% (10/15).

  • Each connection has an indicator with the number of records passing through it. In the example below, those are 8 → Yes and 2 → No.

These metrics are updated whenever new records are submitted from different process steps by human workers or bots.

Check Manual Task​

To check if you have any pending Manual Tasks in a BP, act as follows:

  1. Go to the Results tab and click Steps. To find Manual Tasks in the displayed list of BP steps, look for the indication similar to the one below.

  2. Click the manual step name to view the Statistics tab with the Manual Task details.

  3. Click the Workspace link to get to Workspace from where you can start processing the Manual Task. For more details about Manual Task processing in Workspace, see the Get started with Workspace article.

Once you finish processing the Manual Task in Workspace, update the Results page of the BP you are working on. After that, the status of the Manual Task and the BP are updated accordingly.

View Business Process results​

Once a BP is completed, its results appear on the Results tab.

For detailed information about the Results tab data, read the View Business Process results topic.

Rerun Business Process​

To run a BP again, do as follows:

  1. Copy the required BP instance with data in accordance with the instruction.
  2. Run the BP or create a schedule to initiate executions at regular intervals.
