The chain runtime viewer is used to graphically display a chain in a 2D diagram. You can choose Show in pop-up to have a new window appear which contains only the runtime viewer; this allows you to make the most out of your screen real-estate.

Actions Menu

The following table lists actions that are available in the runtime viewer Actions menu (top right-hand side) and context-menu of the tab. Note that these actions are context-aware, the Show error action will not be available for chains that have reached status Completed.

Action	Description
Scheduling > Edit	Edit scheduling data of the chain. To edit a chain, it must be in an initial state, not Running.
Scheduling > Resubmit	submit a new chain based on this chain (same chain parameters, and so on). This will pop up the new window to edit the values before the chain is submitted.
Scheduling > Hold	this will hold the chain and recurrence (if any), preventing it from being executed until it is manually released.
Scheduling > Release	this will release the chain, allowing it to be executed automatically when all its scheduling constraints are met.
Scheduling > Enable	this enables a previously disabled step or process.
Scheduling > Disable	this disables a previously enabled step or process.
Scheduling > Kill	kill a running chain or process by sending it a signal to stop running. Killing a chain or process may not always be instantaneous. For chains, this will kill all currently running processes in the chain.
Scheduling > Cancel	cancel a chain or process that has not yet started running. This will prevent it from ever starting. For chains, this will cancel all processes in the chains that have not yet started; running processes are allowed to reach a final status.
Scheduling > Restart	submit and start a new chain based on this chain (same definition, parameters, and so on). This will submit and start the chain immediately, without prompting. Note that the value of the Hold on Submit scheduling parameter is carried over to the new chain process, however, it is ignored; the chain process will start as soon as possible.
Scheduling > Restart from Error	Restart a chain from the step that reached status Error, Killed, or Unknown; identical to Restart for processes not in a chain.
Scheduling > Run Now	The process or chain process is started as soon as possible, regardless of any locks of events it depends on.
Event Handling > Add raise event	Add a raise event to the current chain process, only available for chain processes that have a pre-running state.
Event Handling > Add wait event	Add a wait event to the current chain process and optionally clear the event, only available for chain processes that have a pre-running state.
Add Note	Add a note to the job.
New Alert Rule	Allows you to create a new alert rule for the chain with a default Name and Name Pattern.
Update	Update the chain as well as any process to use the latest definitions.
Promote > Promote to system	Promote the object to a remote system.
Promote > Edit further then promote	Edit the export rule set prior to promoting.
Delete	Delete the chain or process, it has to be in a final state. If its state is pre-running, you must cancel it first. If it is running, you must kill it before you can delete it.
Remove Old processes	Remove old chains that have reached a final status.
Explain process Status	Explain the current chain status, only works if the current chain status is Queued.
Show diagram	Show the chain in a diagram, also useful for SAP process chains.
Show error	Display the process that reached status Error.
Get Support Files	Allows you to retrieve the log files and operator messages that can help you troubleshoot a problem. Only available for chains and processes that have reached status Unknown or Error.
Edit Definition	Edit the properties of the current chain definition.
Monitor process resolution	Opens a process monitor with an IntelliSearch of toplevel: jde:GLOBAL.Training_ProcessMonitor_QuarterClose status:Scheduled,Held,Modified,Never; displaying all processes of the definition in status Scheduled, Held, Modified, or Never.
Show permalinks	Display the permalinks to this process, which can be used from third-party applications.
Add to navigation bar	Add the current object to the navigation bar.
Help	Open the Monitoring and Managing Processes help topic.
Refresh	Refresh the diagram.
Tab > Close tab	Close the current tab (only available when the diagram is in its own tab).
Tab > Close all other tabs	Close all other tabs, leaving the currently highlighted tab open (only available when the diagram is in its own tab).

Context-Menu

The following context-menu actions are available in the runtime viewer context-menu:

Action	Description
Help	Open the Monitoring and Managing Processes help topic
Refresh	Refresh the diagram
Close tab	Close the current tab (not effective in pop-up windows)
Close all other tabs	Close all other tabs, leaving the currently highlighted tab open (not effective in pop-up windows)
Show all parameters	Show the chain Overview Format, usually used to display parameter values
Hide all parameters	the chain Overview Format, usually used to display parameter values
Show in pop-up	Show the diagram in a separate pop-up window
Quick Reference	Show this topic

The following additional actions are available when you choose the context-menu of a chain, step or chain, depending on the context, not all actions are relevant (irrelevant actions are disabled):

Scheduling > Enable	this enables a previously disabled chain step or call.
Scheduling > Disable	this disables a previously enabled chain step or call.
Scheduling > Kill	kill a running chain by sending it a signal to stop running. Killing a chain may not always be instantaneous. For chains, this will kill all currently running processes in the chain.
