Hi Bina,

It may be the Provenance module is working, but you don't notice it in Kepler -- it simply adds a 'P' on/off button to the toolbar.
If you install Reporting, the included Workflow Run Manager will give you an execution-centric view of your provenance database from within Kepler.
This 'getting started with Reporting' screencast may be useful:

Your email doesn't provide enough details to figure out what is wrong.  Are you using version 2.1?  And what version of provenance are you using?  If you install the workflow run manager suite you should be able to see the provenance history of each run from the Run Manager if provenance is working.

I have tried to get the provenance working in Kepler reading the documentation that I attaching herewith, but after clicking on the apply and restart button no change occurs and the provenance does not activate. Kindly let me know what can be done.
