Running Processes

intra

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a way where we can write a process to check the "active processes" list to see if a particular process is running?

I know i could work around this issue by having a BO called "process list" and then when you run a process have it write an entry into the BO with start and end timestamp.

However it would be nice to have an action that we could use something like..

Check_Process 'Test Process'
IF Process.Reply='Yes' THEN
Display message 'Process is already running, please try again later'
ELSE
Display message 'Process is not running, executing now.'

As I am sure you know, there is a built-in query for active processes. My guess is that query must have a name and by running it, you may be able to see it in the logs. But I don't know what you could do with it. The query looks in the execution_context table. I don't know of a native way to query that table but if you are competent to write a little custom query/code thing, you could search that table. And that's about all I know about that.
