Discover the latest changes in PeopleTools 8.59 and 8.60 with a focus on Process Monitor. Stay updated and optimize your processes for improved performance.
The Process Monitor provides a means to assess the progress and status of processes, whether they are scheduled or currently in execution.
Accessible by following the navigation:
Navigation: Homepage > Main Menu > People Tools > Process Scheduler > Process Monitor
This will lead you to the Process List page, where you can oversee processes that are queued for execution on the Process Scheduler server. You’ll have a view of both the Process List and Process Details interfaces, allowing you to closely monitor the status of each task.
To improve usability, Process Monitor in PeopleTools 8.59 and 8.60 has integrated the following new features:
In previous releases, you had to click the Refresh button to see the last process running and distribution status for any process instance.
Now, with PeopleTools 8.59‘s auto-update feature, the run and distribution status are updated automatically without you having to keep clicking the Refresh button.

The Process Details page displays detailed information about the process instance and the available update actions based on its current run and distribution status. By simply opening the Details page (without clicking Refresh in Process Monitor), you can get the latest status information and applicable actions enabled.

Like the Process Monitor page, when you are on the Job List page, the status of the job and run items are automatically updated without you having to click the Refresh button.

The process list on the Process Monitor page has a link to the Details page, which shows process information, Run Control details, Date/Time of process, links to Message Log, View Log/Trace, Parameters, Batch Timings, Transfer, etc. Actions that can be performed on scheduled process such as Hold, Queue, Cancel, Delete, Re-send, and Re-start.
The user has to click a few times to view the Message Log or to perform a Hold Request on the process instance. For your convenience, PeopleTools 8.59 provides a new Related Actions link that contains Related Links and Actions. Users can navigate directly to the required information and apply actions such as Hold/Delete/Restart/Cancel directly from the Process Monitor page.

PeopleTools 8.59 introduced the Clear and Reset buttons along with the Refresh button. The Clear button can be used to remove all filters, restoring the default values. The Reset button can retrieve saved filter values from the database.

Previously, the Server Name drop-down menu on the System Process Requests page displayed configured and unconfigured servers from the Server List configuration. This drop-down list shows only configured servers. This matches the existing Server List dropdown in Process Monitor.

By default, the Process Monitor shows process requests scheduled for the last day. Selecting the All-option grays out the time interval fields and enables all process requirements. PeopleTools 8.60 moved the All option to the main Period Filter.

Previously, Process Monitor only displayed job instances for scheduled jobs. Job elements such as processes and nested jobs within a job can only be viewed (in tree format) by clicking on the job name. You can view individual job items in Process Monitor by filtering using the Process Instance. However, users could not distinguish between individual processes and processes that were part of a job.
PeopleTools 8.60 also displays processes that are part of the job as hyperlinks. Clicking on the link will open the main job tree.

In PeopleTools 8.60, the Run Control ID column is in the Process List!
