The EntireX Process Extractor extracts process-relevant data from an RPC data stream and maps this data to XML format as input for the ARIS Process Performance Manager (PPM).
ARIS Process Performance Manager (ARIS PPM) enables organizations to analyze business process information and extract/import required data through direct data management. ARIS PPM also provides various analysis and monitoring options.
ARIS Process Performance Manager uses XML files provided by the extractors as input for the process analysis.
Each XML file describes a process event in a structured form. An XML file can contain default markup (required by ARIS PPM) elements and user-defined markup elements (individually defined for a specific process or part of the process).
The table below lists the minumum required atttributes to describe a process event:
| Attribute | Description | Req/ Opt |
|---|---|---|
| STEP_TYPE | Type of the process step. Used as in internal identifier for PPM. | R |
| STEP_ID | Unique identifier for the process step. | R |
| PROCESS_ID | Unique identifier for the process of which the process step is a part. | R |
| PROCTYPE | Type of the process. | R |
| END_TIME | End time stamp of the process step; format: MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss.
|
R |
| START_TIME | Start time stamp of the process step; format: MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss.
|
O |
| PROCESSOR_ID | ID of the processor of the process step. | O |
The Adabas Process Extractor extracts process-relevant data from any Adabas database and provides it to ARIS PPM. It is fully integrated into ARIS PPM, like the Process Extractor JDBC-2-PPM. Internally, the Adabas Process Extractor uses the Adabas SQL Gateway to read the data from the Adabas database.
The Screen Process Extractor extracts process-relevant data from 3270/5250 screens and provides it to ARIS PPM. The Screen Process Extractor is based on ApplinX technology, but the data can be extracted from virtually any terminal emulation or screen scraping tool on the market.
The configuration of the EntireX Process Extractor depends on your client/server architecture.
In the sample configurations below,
EntireX Process Extractor runtime runs on host1, listens on port 1972: Broker ID is "host1:1972".
EntireX RPC client runs on host2.
EntireX Broker runs on host3, listens on port 1971: Broker ID is "host3:1971".
EntireX RPC server runs on host4.
EntireX Process Extractor design time runs on host 5.
This shows a default runtime configuration where the EntireX Process Extractor extracts the process-relevant data between the RPC clients and the EntireX Broker.
This shows an alternative runtime configuration where the EntireX Process Extractor extracts the process-relevant data between the RPC server and the EntireX Broker.
