How to Design efficient and suitable business measures

Business activity monitoring for a business process management solution

The Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) scenario for a business process management solution allows you to monitor applications that were modeled in WebSphere Business Modeler, built using WebSphere Integration Developer, and deployed to WebSphere Process Server. There are a variety of WebSphere Process Server components that can be used to develop an application, and many of these components can participate in your business activity monitoring. These include business process execution language (BPEL) processes, human tasks, Business State Machines, and Business Rules, in addition to generic Service Component Architecture (SCA) components.

Business process management is a discipline combining software capabilities and business expertise to accelerate process improvement and facilitate business innovation. This scenario begins when a business analyst models a process.

These WebSphere Process Server components can natively emit common base events that provide the information needed for your business activity monitoring.

You might develop a business process management solution to accomplish one or more of the following goals:
  • Tap new revenue streams
  • Respond rapidly to competitive, regulator, or market challenges
  • Reduce operational costs
  • Streamline product and service delivery
  • Improve customer service
  • Increase visibility into and control over your business processes
 
Recommended products:
 
  • WebSphere Business Modeler Advanced
  • WebSphere Integration Developer
  • WebSphere Process Server
  • WebSphere Business Monitor, including WebSphere Business Monitor development toolkit
Using these IBM Business Process Management products, you can model the business solution, deliver detailed business requirements in a form that can be used to compose and assemble the solution, implement it, deploy the solution to a runtime server, and monitor the solution on the server. With this suite of products, you are able to continue to refine the model and implementation iteratively.
 
Benefits
 
The integration between the IBM Business Process Management products makes developing a business process management solution easier in several ways:
  • Ensures an accurate transfer of the business requirements to integration developers
  • Accelerates the application development process
  • Simplifies business process improvement or redesign
 
The value of creating a business process model is that a non-technical business analyst can capture the business view and requirements for a process. If the model is created with WebSphere Business Modeler, the business analyst can export a project interchange file with a project structure that is optimally suited for use with WebSphere Integration Developer. The projects can be directly imported into WebSphere Integration Developer. This direct transfer of information simplifies application development by shortening the time required to create a process application and ensuring the accurate communication of the business requirements for the application.
This scenario involves the following activities:
