Using the Workflow History Viewer
You can view workflow-generated events on the Workflow History Viewer, a simple ASCII utility. Issue the following command to start the Workflow History Viewer:
windchill wt.workflow.engine.WfMonitor
The following is the main menu of the Workflow History Viewer:

4. Refresh processes.
5. Change event configuration for selected process.
6. Show selected events for selected process.
7. Show all events for selected process.
8. Show selected events for all processes.
9. Show all events for all processes.
10. Select event.

>>> Choose an option:
This menu includes a list of all existing processes and a list of all retrieved events. The list of retrieved events is initially empty.
In addition to these lists, the main menu provides 16 options. A description of each follows:
Select Process
Select this option to select a process, so associated events can be queried. The selected process is preceded by the characters >>.
Show Selected Process
Select this option to display the following information about the selected process, as well as all of its activities and subprocesses that have been started:
The process status (for example, running).
The process creator.
The team with which the process is associated.
An indication of whether or not the process or activity is overdue (that is, whether it has exceeded its specified duration).
The time at which the process or activity started.
The time at which the process or activity ended (not shown if the process or activity has not been closed).
The deadline for the process or activity, if one exists.
The event configuration for the process.
Suspend and alert times, in milliseconds.
The following shows a sample process display:
Simplest - Running
Creator: Administrator
Team: Default
Times: is overdue = false
start time = 1998-11-20 14:08:53.0
suspend time = 0, alert time = 0
Event configuration:
Process (RECORD/EMIT): Creation: R, State change: RE
Activity (RECORD/EMIT): Data change: E
Exception (RECORD/EMIT): Exception: R
Activities:
*** act_simplest (wt.workflow.engine.WfTestActivity) - Running
Times: is overdue = false
start time = 1998-11-20 14:08:56.0
suspend time = 0, alert time = 0
Delete Selected Process
Select this option to delete the selected process.
Refresh Processes
Select this option to refresh all processes. The Workflow History Viewer does not automatically edit the status of a displayed process. You must explicitly refresh it in order to see new processes and changes of state since the last refresh.
Change Event Configuration
Select this option to open an event configuration editor. With the editor you can select the events that should be emitted, recorded, or ignored, for the selected process.
Edit event configuration

Current configuration

1. Create process - record: true

2. Create process - emit: false

3. Change process state - record: true

4. Change process state - emit: true

5. Change process data - record: false

6. Change process data - emit: false

7. Change activity state - record: false

8. Change activity state - emit: false

9. Change activity data - record: false

10. Change activity data - emit: true

11. Change assignment - record: false

12. Change assignment - emit: false

13. Execution error - record: true

14. Execution error - emit: false

15. Save configuration

16. Save configuration and return

17. Return (looses changes since last save)

>>> Choose an option:
As previously described, all processes are governed by the event configuration specified in the wt.properties file, unless this submenu is used to change that configuration for the selected process. Selecting an option on this submenu toggles the current setting. For example, if you select option 1, you will change the setting of Create process from true to false. Consequently, process creation would no longer be a recorded event.
Show Selected Events for Selected Process
Select this option to open the submenu shown below. You can select an option from this submenu to specify the type of event in which you are interested. (In the example, option 8 is selected, indicating that the user is interested in all events associated with the selected process.)
Types of events to show
1. Process creation
2. Process state change
3. Process data change
4. Activity state change
5. Activity data change
6. Assignment change
7. Execution error
8. All
9. None (return)

>>> Choose an option: 8
When you have select an option from this submenu, the requested events are retrieved, and the list of events is refreshed. For each event, the list identifies the event type and the execution object associated with it:
Audit events
——————

>> 1. PROCESS_STATE_CHANGED, process = Simplest
Show All Events for Selected Process
Select this option to represent a shortcut to selecting All, (option 8) from the submenu of event types described in the preceding section. If this main menu option is selected, all events associated with the selected process are shown.
Show Selected Events for All Processes
Select this option to display all events of the selected type for all processes.
Show All Events for All Processes
Select this option to display all stored events for all processes. This list can be very large.
Select Event
Select this option to select another event. When events are retrieved, the first event in the list is automatically selected.
Show Event
Select this option to display detailed event information for a selected event, as follows:
event type = PROCESS_STATE_CHANGED
timestamp = 1998-11-20 14:08:53.0
activity key = 0 activity name = null
process key = 3347
process name = Simplest
process template name = simplest
old state = Not started
new state = Running
Show Event Source
Select this option to display the execution object (process or activity) that is the source of the selected event.
Refresh Events
Select this option to refresh all events corresponding to the selected process and event type. This is necessary to view events generated since the last refresh.
Delete Events for Selected Process
Select this option to delete all the events of the last selected type associated with the selected process.
Delete Events for All Processes
Select this option to delete all events of the last selected type associated with all processes.
Exit
