Enter a unique name for the error type.

It can be helpful to create a name that indicates the parameters of the error type. Although this field will accept up to 150 alphanumeric characters, the name will be truncated at 50 characters on the Instance Analytics panel of the Edit Process page.

Choose All Process Instances to apply the error type to all instances of the process. Alternatively, you can select a dimension from the drop-down list of all of the dimensions for all of the business event maps defined for this process. Each dimension listed will identify the event map with which that dimension is associated.

Select a dimension from the drop-down list to apply the error type only to a specific instance of the selected dimension. If you select a dimension, enter the dimension instance in the text box to the right.

Select the Cycle Time error type.

Use the drop-down menus to create an error condition consisting of: <operand> + <operator> + <value>

<operand>

Select an operand for the error condition from the first drop-down menu. Cycle-time operands consist of the name of the process instance, or the name of a step in the process instance, plus Cycle Time.

<operator>

Select an operator for the error condition from the second drop-down menu.

Choose from the following operators:

<value>

This text box is available only if you selected the Greater Than Or Equal To operator. In the text box, enter a whole number against which to evaluate the error condition, and then select from the last drop-down menu a unit of measure for that whole-number value.

Choose from the following units of measure:

Select this check box if you want Optimize to stop tracking this process instance if the error type occurs.

This check box is available only if the current user has Access Privileges for the Rule List page (see Administering My webMethods Server). Select this check box if you want to automatically create a rule for this error type. The rule name will be the same as the error-type name, and the rule type will be Event.

Errors appear only on the Process Instance Detail page. If you create an automatic rule for the error type, that rule will display on both the Problems page and the KPI Instance Detail page.

If the error type is subsequently deleted, the associated rule remains unless it is manually deleted, as well.

This check box is available only when Create Rule is selected and a valid e-mail address has been configured for the current user. Select this option if you want an e-mail alert sent to you when the rule you created is violated.
