Configuring Business Data
If you are using Optimize for Process, before you can configure business data, you must first do one of the following:
*Define a business process using Software AG Designer. You must then mark the process as “analysis enabled” on the Edit Process page. For more information, see Configuring Business Processes.
*Configure the WmOptimize package. For more information, see Installing and Configuring the WmOptimize Package.
*Configure the Web Service Data Collector to collect business process data. For more information, see Configuring and Using the Web Service Data Collector.
You also must have data for one or more process instances sent to Optimize before you can configure business data.
Important:
When Analytic Engine runs in Static DB Schema mode, you cannot create, edit, or delete dimensions, event maps, dimension hierarchies or KPI definitions. In addition, all respective buttons in the user interface will be unavailable. For more information about enabling and disabling Static DB Schema mode for the Analytic Engine, see the PDF publication Configuring BAM.
*To configure business data
1. In My webMethods, navigate the following path: Navigate > Applications > Administration > Analytics > KPIs > Business Data
Optimize displays the Business Data page, which shows event map information for processes and related KPIs.
Specifically, the Business Data page shows the following information:
*The dimensions, measure attributes, event maps, and intrinsic metrics that are associated with a business process, in a hierarchical tree structure.
*Unassociated event maps that show new types of events that have been collected but are not currently associated with a process.
2. Perform any of the actions that are described in the following table.
To
Do this
*Filter business processes in the list
*Search for a particular item
*Search for items that have a particular deployment status
Use the Search bar. For more information about using the Search bar, see Working with My webMethods.
Create an event map for business data that has not yet been associated with a business process
Click Add Event Map and continue to Mapping Events.
Note:
If Optimize has collected business data that is not yet associated with a business process, Optimize lists that data in the hierarchical tree beneath a heading that reads Event Types not associated with an Event Map. To associate this business data with a process, click the Edit icon to the right of any event type listed under the “unassociated” heading.
Add a KPI
Click Add KPI and continue to Defining KPIs.
Edit an existing event map
Click the Edit icon to the right of the event map and continue to Mapping Events.
Edit an existing KPI
Click the Edit icon to the right of the KPI and continue to Defining KPIs.
Delete an event map or a KPI associated with a process
Select the check box beside the event map or the KPI and then click Delete.
CAUTION:
Exercise extreme caution when deleting a KPI or especially an event map. Deleting a KPI deletes all associated KPI instances, all rules set on that KPI and all associated historical rule violations. Deleting an event map deletes all associated KPIs, rules and rule violations as well as all data collected for that event map.
Note:
If you have not previously defined dimensions for a business process, see Defining Dimensions.
