This feature provides a user interface for creating a new process instance, setting parameters as needed, and executing the process in normal or test mode (on behalf of another user). The Generate AI Test Data feature populates variables and globals with test data. 

Use one of the following two methods. 

On the Process Designer page, select the Actions - Create Instance menu option. The Create Instance pane appears on the right. Click the Generate button to generate an instance name. Uncheck the Execute checkbox, then click the Create button to generate a new process instance. Click the Generate AI Test Data button to populate the variables and globals with test data. A confirmation message appears in the top-right corner. 

 

A new process instance is created in the background, and its status is “Not Started.” 

 

On the Process—Instance page, select the instance, then click the Execute - With params menu option.  

 

Another method is to go to the Process-Instance page. 

Choose Actions > Create. A configuration pop-up window appears. Select the process definition from the drop-down list. You can view the definition list using the sort filter buttons—By Last Modified or By Name. Click the Generate button to create an instance name. Uncheck the Execute checkbox, then click the Create button to generate a new process instance. 

 

A new process instance is created in the background, and its status is “Not Started.”

 

Select a process instance, then click the Execute - With Params menu option. 

 

The page opens in a new tab. You need to set the execution time using the Calendar control. You can also run the process instance on a later date. Select “user” from the drop-down list for Test Mode execution. You can set the priority by clicking the “High, Medium, or Low” button. 

 

Click the “Generate AI Test Data” button to populate the variables and globals with test data. 

 

Click the 'Execute' or 'Execute in Test Mode' button. The process instance runs in the background, and a confirmation message appears in the top-right corner. The input parameters and their values are shown on the page for verification. 

 

The process instance status is “NotStarted” because it is scheduled to execute at a later date.
