Editing State Processes

The Edit State Processes dialog allows you to choose an existing process for application versions. In Certify, you can add the following two state processes for an application version:

Start process
End process

Process Name

Behavior

Start Process

The first time an application version is encountered during execution, Certify checks to see if a start process exists for the application version. If the application version does not have a start process, Certify assumes that you have the application already in context and attempts to execute the first step of the process.

If the application version has a start process for loading the application version, Certify executes the steps in the start process before executing the steps in the selected process.

End Process

The end process is automatically run by Certify at the end of the process execution as a clean-up process. If the application version does not have an end process, Certify assumes that the selected process has a step to exit the application version, or that you manually exit the application version.

End processes are run for all application versions encountered during execution that have an end process defined.
