Define Process
Process flow is initially defined by business analysts
Process strengths and weaknesses determined by simulation/analysis
Process model is used to create workflow model
WebSphere MQ Workflow acts as a ‘conductor’ of all back-end systems and applications

Defining Event Data & Alerts (Business Measures)
Alert information and displayed WBI Monitor data are defined in process model
Business Measures (or Key Performance Indicators) consist of a METRIC, captured a specific LOCATION in the process
Event alerts (or Notifications) can be added to the Business Measures
No coding is required

Step 1: Define Data to be Evaluated
Users are provides 14 pre-defined metrics
Users are able to define any custom metrics desired, based on the data elements in the workflow process
Select the data field and provide the desired name
As long as the data item is captured in process (entered by person or obtained from system) it can be monitored and alarms can be triggered

Step 2: Create Expressions (If Desired)
Simple Business Measures display any data from the process in real-time
Expressions cause metrics to be evaluated prior to displaying information
In this case, Total_Cost data field is being compared to Total_Budget

Step 3: Define Location to Capture Information
User selects what step in the process the Metric (or data) will be captured
Process steps are provided in the ‘Name’ drop-down box
PROCESS_START and PROCESS_END are pre-defined locations

Step 4: Define Event Alarms
User indicates what type of alarm is desired (e-mail and/or monitor alarm or workflow process instance)
Criteria is defined to determine who receives the alarm

Step 5: Define Event Alarm Message
Create the template that will provide necessary e-mail and/or monitor information in the alarm
It is possible to include specific data fields information in the message body
XML file is created by WBI Workbench modeling tool. This file is imported into WBI Monitor to ‘program’ what information to capture
NO coding is required

Workflow Process Receives Data
Workflow process receives data from any internal legacy systems or applications
Data can also be entered through a Web interface
This is how the data is entered in our simple example

Monitoring Your Workflow Process Real-Time
Adminstration feature allows for create individual views
Users create view (or reports) using any or all the available business measures

Monitoring Your Workflow Process Real-Time
Process instances (items in process) can be filtered by ANY of your business measures

Monitoring Your Workflow Process Real-Time
Workflow Dashboard shows all of the business measures defined in the process model

Review Event Alarm Notifications
Event alarm notifications are provided by user, based on Login ID
These notifications are caused by the vendor order exceeding budget

Review Event Alarm Notifications
Each notification can be selected to read the template message defined earlier

Defining Real-Time & Historical Reports
In Business Dashboard users define custom views (or reports)
Financial business measures can be ‘filtered’ (vendor name, order exceeds, etc.)

Defining Real-Time & Historical Reports
Each view displays the information in table and graph (if desired)
This view shows all new orders in last two days, filtered by vendor
