Business Processes
Optimize for Process can analyze and display status information for the following two types of business processes:
*webMethods-executed processes (processes that are executed and tracked by the webMethods Process Engine).
*Externally-executed processes (processes that are not executed and tracked by the webMethods Process Engine). For externally-executed processes, Optimize has no knowledge of the rules and data that determine whether these transitions are valid. Therefore, for these processes, Optimize does not recognize invalid step transitions based on branch or split conditions and does not detect or report errors when such conditions occur.
You can use Software AG Designer to design business process models. For more information about using Software AG Designer to set up business processes and process steps, see the Software AG Designer online help. For more information about setting up and identifying those business processes you want Optimize to monitor, see Configuring Business Processes.
