Monitoring and Managing Process Execution
As described in “Process Execution” on page 165 , an iIS process engine executes
process instances by creating a succession of activities, moving them through a
number of states, checking timers, and locking, modifying, and unlocking process
attributes.
The engine maintains information about all registered process definitions and the
process instances corresponding to each. For each process instance, it maintains
information about activities, timers, and process attributes (and locks placed on
each process attribute). The information provided about these objects and their
relationship to one another are illustrated in
