Process monitoring view
The Process monitoring view provides visibility into processes that take place in FA applications. You can see which processes were run, how long they took, and if were completed successfully. If a process is ongoing, you can see details about its progress and evaluate how long it may take. The view also provides input for monitoring the performance of processes over time.
The system monitors processes such as user-triggered and scheduled processes, authority and client reporting, and custom processes. For example, for nightly price updates and report calculation, the monitoring tracks the process through the following stages:
Start
Fetch active portfolios
Handle market data connector 1 (if enabled)
Find applicable securities
Fetch and save close prices
Update cashflow securities
Handle market data connector 2 (if enabled)
Handle market data connector 3 (if enabled)
Update discount factors (if no connectors 1-3 defined)
Schedule report updates
End

View the process timeline
In the Process monitoring view, you can see the timeline of process runs during a given period by choosing the start and end dates. To view information about a specific process, select the application it relates to. You can filter the list down by selecting a single process type, instance, or status. You can also adjust the time scale of the process timeline by using the slider on the right.
The status of a process run can be ongoing (blue), completed (green), canceled (grey), or failed (red). Click on the process to view its information: start and end times of a run, its completion status, duration, and the user who executed it. You can expand the process run to see the stages.
View process details
To view the details of a process run or stage, click in the Actions column. The details shown depend on the process. For example, for the NAV acceptance process, you can see the date on which the NAV was accepted. If the run failed, you can view the error message. If the process was canceled, the details show the user who canceled it.
