Integration with Software AG MashZone
If you use Optimize for Process and Optimize for Infrastructure and your processes are enabled for analysis and execution, you can further process the obtained data (KPI instance readings, KPI definitions, problems and dimension instances) with Software AG MashZone.
Software AG MashZone is a browser-based application that enables you to analyze and visualize data from different distributed data sources. It provides a framework for creating user interface dashboards based on data obtained from various locations, including a URL, an XML file, an Excel spreadsheet, as well as other sources.
To ensure communication between the Analytic Engine and
MashZone, a number of services exist in the WmOptimize package. For more information on available services, see
Built-In Services.
You can extract the data in two possible ways:
Directly from Optimize Analytic Engine - your queries invoke directly the Analytic Engine API to extract the data.
From webMethods Integration Server - your queries use the
pub.optimize.mashzone.adapter:retrieveData built-in service from the WmOptimize package deployed on to extract the data from the Analytic Engine.
Two ways exist for constructing queries for obtaining data from Optimize Analytic Engine and displaying it into Software AG MashZone. You can do this:
by using the
My webMethods Server user interface.
by constructing your own queries using the
pub.optimize.mashzone.adapter:retrieveData built-in service from the WmOptimize package.
Note:
Before you begin this procedure, you must configure the default Analytic Engine host and port, as well as the default broker to which WmOptimize sends information, as described in
Installing and Configuring the WmOptimize
Package. You must also have a working understanding of
MashZone and its operation, and be familiar with the
MashZone documentation. For more information, see the
MashZone online help or the documentation available within your
MashZone installation.
