When you start an application, you are setting its status to Started in Process Administrator. Click the Applications tab. This displays the list of applications in the cluster. For the application you want to start, choose the Start Application command from the drop-down list for that application. Now you and your end users can access the process instance detail for the application from any server in the cluster.
End users can once again initiate new process instances and continue working on existing work items.
Closing Applications Closing an application means that end users cannot initiate any new process instances, but they can continue to complete existing process instances. Closing an application sets its stage to Closed. When you no longer need an application, you can close it. End users can continue to work on work items until there are no open work items for the application, at which time you can uninstall the application. Click the Applications tab.
