EPC aggregator settings

Type of functions aggregation

#Should orgunit attributes at functions be used for compression?

EPK_USE_ORGUNIT_FOR_COMPRESS = false

If the value of this setting is true, organizational units are taken into account when aggregating process instances. Identical functions that are assigned to different organizational units are handled as different functions. Default value: false

Calculation of the persistent aggregator

# Number of instances marked for deletion before a KI calculation is initiated

COMPRESSOR_KICALCULATION_THRESHOLD=100000

The persistent aggregator works in packages comprising two phases each. During the first phase, the process instances to be aggregated are merged and saved as a new EPC. Afterwards, the measure calculator calculates the new instances and consolidates the data. This parameter determines the size of the packages, i.e., the number of source instances after which the system changes to the measure calculation phase. Default value: 100000

Deleting hierarchical process instances

#Default behavior when deleting hierarchical EPCs

DELETE_REFERENCED_EPCS_WHEN_DELETETED = false

If the value of this setting is true, the assigned process instances of all hierarchy levels are deleted when deleting process instances. Default value: false

#Default behavior when compressing hierarchical EPCs

DELETE_REFERENCED_EPCS_WHEN_COMPRESSED = false

If the value of this setting is true, the assigned process instances of all hierarchy levels are deleted when persistently aggregating process instances. Default value: false

Warning

When aggregating or deleting process instances, assigned process instances are deleted regardless of process access privileges. PPM users with the Process instance aggregation function privilege can also delete process instances for which they usually do not have access privileges.

Aggregation of time range dimensions

#Delete rangedimension values for compression

DELETE_RANGEDIMENSION_VALUES_FOR_COMPRESSION = false

This value determines the behavior during persistant aggregation of processes in combination with time range dimensions. Persistent aggregation of process instances keeping the time range dimensions is impossible. If time range dimensions are defined for relevant process instances, the attempt to persistently aggregate is aborted by default (default value: false) with an error message. If the value of this parameter is set to true , an aggregation takes place even if time range dimensions exist. Time range dimensions are not included in aggregation so that their values are no longer available at an aggregated instance.
