Execution Already Running Property

[SercoSteve]

At the top of my Sequential Process Model, I want to add a step that checks to see if an execution has already been started from the Process Model and is currently running on our test system.

Does anyone have any suggestions of what TS 3.1 property to look at?

Hey Steve,

Did you ever find a solution?  If you are using a User Interface, you could use the ApplicationMgr.Executions property to determine if there is already an execution running. 

Also, you could create a Station Global that stores the number of instances of the process model that are currently running (it would only need to be a boolean if you wanted only one instance at a time).  The first step in all of the entry points could increment this Station Global (have a lock on the step) and then the last step of your process model could decrement this variable.  At the beginning of the process model, you would also need to check if the maximum number of instances have been reached, and if they have, skip to the end.  I hope this helps!
