Description Alexander Zgursky 2006-10-09 20:15:58 UTC
abbr. PI = Process Instance
When user resumes the current PI and it reaches some activity that takes
significant time to execute (e.g. synchronous invoke activity), user may get
confused since
- debugger actions (step, continue) are disabled (since current PI is not in
"Suspended" state)
- there is no visualization of where the PI is executing
- the PI's State ("Running" in our case), displayed in the Process Instances
View, is very easy to overlook and the Process Instances View itself may be closed

See issue 82301 as an example of a possible scenario to reproduce the confusing
behaivor.

Having a visualization of the current execution position while the PI is in
Running state seem to solve the problem.

It was supposed to be an enhancement request.
Comment 2 Alexander Zgursky 2006-10-19 17:14:26 UTC
This issue seems to be related (but neither dependent on nor blocked by) to
issue 81863 - Process Execution View.
Comment 3 Alexander Zgursky 2006-11-14 18:33:58 UTC
This issue depends on the BPELSE issue #6493603 filed in bugster
Comment 4 Sergey Lunegov 2007-01-30 15:34:19 UTC
fixed as part of PEV.
