Attribute assignment

A corresponding attribute is created in the PPM configuration for each field in a PSIC, for example, measures, dimensions, or other elements from the Optimize configuration. The data type of the attributes differs depending on the type of field (measures, dimensions, or transactions). Otherwise, they have the same structure and basic properties.

Attributes are added to the AG_WM_PROCESS attribute group.

Attribute key

For measures, dates, and transaction fields, the attribute key is a generated keyword derived from the display name in Optimize.

For dimension fields, the attribute key is a generated keyword derived from the display names of the dimension and dimension attribute in Optimize.

Names

Measures, dates, and other fields use the display name in Optimize as the display name in PPM.

Mapping

The wizard updates the mapping of the FRG_PROCESS_STEP fragment in the PROCESS_STEP data source according to your <-ppm> configuration.

Identification and handling of changes

The webMethods Optimize configuration can be imported repeatedly to transfer possible changes to the PPM configuration. Only changes at the level of the mapping for system event attributes are included. For each field in the Optimize configuration, the system analyzes whether a mapping to a PPM attribute exists for the corresponding system event attribute. If a mapping exists, no changes are made in PPM for this field from Optimize. When searching for the mapping, all fragments of the PROCESS_STEP data source are checked.
