In order to determine when process instances are defined as completed, a variable can be used to specify which activities represent a process end. Defining a process end is an optional feature, so its configuration is placed on the script tab 2A. Advanced Customization. Nevertheless, if the modules Process Monitoring and process path continuation or Root Cause Analysis shall be enabled, defining the mvProcessFinished Variable is mandatory.

 

To define the variable, perform the following steps:

 

1.Decide with which activity a case is closed and save the activity name in the variable mvProcessFinished.

In the process example in chapter Basic Concepts of Process Mining a case is closed when the activity "Closed" occurs.

2.Adjust the ActivityType in the variable mvProcessFinished.

a.If you have only one activity that defines the process' end, do this:

 

SET mvProcessFinished = ActivityType= 'Closed';

 

b.If you have more than one activity that defines the process' end, do this:

 

SET mvProcessFinished = ActivityType= 'ClosedActivityTypeName';
