This configuration can be used as a template for a key-based merge of processes in PPM using a predecessor relation.
Scenario
A source system generates a system event for each process step executed. The names and types of the system events are not known in advance and can be anything. In each system event, the process step is described by the EVENTTYPE attribute. In addition, each system event knows its own process relation (ID), its execution time and its preceding process step (see example data in data/Events/predecessormerge_Events.xml). The process steps are to be merged to form a process in PPM based on the predecessor relation.
Solution
Installation
You will see five process instances.
No specific measures or dimensions are defined (see default base configuration).
Attributes that do not yet exist in PPM are automatically created when importing and copied to the functions.
Process instances 4 and 5 illustrate how process steps that refer to two preceding steps can be imported and represented.
