IBM BPM
helps you:
Engage business users in building process applications easily -- Provides
an environment for rapid composition and continuous change of process applications
that does not require deep technical skills. Business users and technical
developers need to collaborate to build the correct process solutions. A unique
shared model architecture enables collaborative process definition with these
features:
- Unified authoring environment - Supports graphical, what-you-see-is-what-you-execute
implementation and testing of process applications, services, user interfaces,
and rules.
- Standards-based process design - Uses Business Process Modeling Notation
(BPMN).
- Integration designer - Delivers tooling for visually constructing services,
data transformations, Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) orchestrations,
and integration to applications and backend systems.
- Business rule authoring - For expressing business logic in an accessible
manner using syntax that is closer to natural language when compared to JavaScript™.
The capability provides the same rule authoring experience provided by WebSphere ILOG® JRules.
Rules content may be easily exported to WebSphere ILOG JRules providing a simple transition
from business rules to business rule management.
- Properties sheets - Allows configuration of implementation details instead
of coding so that less technical users can participate in design.
- Interactive playback - Enables quick team validation of process requirements
at any time.
- Shared library of all process assets - Facilitates drag-and-drop reuse
and collaborative implementation.
- Complete lifecycle governance - The solution stays in synch throughout
the entire lifecycle from model design to deployment.
Empower agility through rich UI experience -- Provides real-time
control for in-flight processes. Process owners need to be able to react and
adjust quickly to market pressures, regulatory changes, or other external
forces. IBM BPM
supports robust dynamic process execution with these features:
- Process portal - Drives process performance giving users a consolidated
view of all outstanding tasks while giving managers visibility into team and
process performance
- Process coach user interfaces - Guide end users through tasks consistently
and accurately even though the tasks may be new or unfamiliar
- Graphical end-user view of process status - Helps end users to understand
their current position in the process
- Explicit event modeling - Defines workflow and exception handling
- Exposed process parameters and thresholds - Allows real-time control during
in-flight processing
- Ad-hoc actions - Lets end users perform spontaneous tasks and alter workflow
- Collaboration activities - Lets end users communicate and collaborate
on specific tasks during process execution
- Real-time scoreboards - Provides out-of-box visibility into work-in-progress,
along with the ability to take corrective action if necessary
- Business space UI framework - For creating an integrated and customized
user experience
- Business space UI widgets work with IBM WebSphere Portal
- Federated task view - For performing tasks, managing work items, tracking
performance and responding to events-all in real time
- Manage processes directly from Microsoft® Office - Enables end users
to launch and perform process tasks directly from the popular Microsoft products,
Office and SharePoint. The Microsoft integrations are offered
as optional add-on components
Improve performance with inherent visibility -- Provides process
visibility of both human and system interactions. Managers want to see performance
measurements in terms of the business process KPIs and SLAs. IBM BPM supports
insightful dynamic process visibility with these features:
- Performance data warehouse - Automatically gathers and correlates performance
events and business data to modeled process metrics for process visibility
that is always up-to-date
- Process Optimizer - Allows a crystal-clear visualization of in-flight
or historical performance bottlenecks and other problems, directly on the
process model diagram
Execute processes consistently, reliably, securely, and with transactional
integrity -- Provides an environment for executing mission-critical enterprise
solutions with confidence. Lightweight enough to leverage for first projects,
yet robust enough to scale to enterprise-wide solutions.
- Process server - Delvers a single BPM runtime to support the full range
of business processes, service orchestration, and integration
- Built-in SOA components - Delivers flexible enterprise service bus (ESB)
connectivity infrastructure for integrating applications and services
- Standards based - Supports BPMN and BPEL execution and many data and service
standards
- Integration adapters - Allows you to connect application and information
assets to the ESB to accelerate business integration projects with rapidly
deployable, enterprise-ready connections based on best practices. Included
are a comprehensive set of capabilities to service-enable your assets, including
packaged, custom, and legacy applications, technology protocols, and databases
- Rich repair and recoverability capabilities, such as automatic retries,
manual repair, compensation, store and forward
- High scalability and availability enabled by the embedded WebSphere Application
Server
Increase adoption by rapidly scaling projects -- Helps companies
expand BPM adoption rapidly throughout their organization by increasing collaboration,
governance, and reuse while simplifying the entire process development lifecycle. IBM BPM
supports high levels of program manageability with these features:
- Process center - Provides a scalable central repository and control center
for organizing and managing all process artifacts, applications, and services
that are created as part of a BPM program
- Toolkits - Manages independent versions of process artifact libraries,
reused across multiple process applications
- Snapshots - Captures the state of all artifacts in a process application
or toolkit (including business process diagrams, rules, data, forms, services,
and simulation scenarios) at a specific point in time with just one mouse-click,
to reduce version management complexity
- Back-in-time versioning -Restores any historical snapshot of a process
application or toolkit with just one mouse-click, so it can be viewed or executed
- Process server registry - Provides centralized tools to install and track
deployed versions of multiple processes across various runtime server environments
- Lifecycle governance - Allows centralized control for governing deployment
of process and services to production runtime

Application Instance
Application Instance is a unit of measure by which the program can be licensed.
An entitlement is required for each instance of an application connected
to or managed by the program. An application in a test, development, staging,
or production environment is each considered to be a separate instance of
the application and each must have an entitlement. As well, multiple application
instances in a single environment are each considered to be separate instances
of the application and each must have an entitlement.
Authorized User
Authorized User is a unit of measure by which the program can be licensed.
An Authorized User is a unique person who is given access to the program.
The program may be installed on any number of computers or servers and each
Authorized User may have simultaneous access to any number of instances of
the program at one time. Licensee must obtain separate, dedicated entitlements
for each Authorized User accessing the program in any manner directly or indirectly
(for example: via a multiplexing program, device, or application server) through
any means. An entitlement for an Authorized User is unique to that Authorized
User and may not be shared, nor may it be reassigned other than for the permanent
transfer of the Authorized User entitlement to another person.
Note: Some programs may be licensed where devices are considered
users. In that case the following applies: Any computing device that requests
the execution of or receives for execution a set of commands, procedures,
or applications from the program or that is otherwise managed by the program
is considered a separate User of the program and requires an entitlement as
if that device were a person.
Processor Value Unit
Processor Value Unit (PVU) is a unit of measure by which the program can
be licensed. The number of processors made available to the program and the
number of PVU entitlements required is based on the processor technology (defined
within the PVU Table by Processor Value, Brand, Type and Model Number at
- http://www.ibm.com/software/lotus/passportadvantage/pvu_licensing_for_customers.html
IBM continues
to define a processor, for the purpose of PVU-based licensing, to be each
processor core on a chip. A dual-core processor chip, for example, has two
processor cores.
Licensee can deploy the program using either Full Capacity licensing or
Virtualization Capacity (Sub-Capacity) licensing according to the Passport
Advantage Sub-Capacity Licensing Terms (see webpage below). If using
Full Capacity licensing, Licensee must obtain PVU entitlements sufficient
to cover all activated processor cores* in the physical hardware environment
made available to or managed by the program, except for those servers from
which the program has been permanently removed. If using Virtualization Capacity
licensing, Licensee must obtain entitlements sufficient to cover all activated
processor cores made available to or managed by the program, as defined according
to the Virtualization Capacity License Counting Rules at
- http://www.ibm.com/software/lotus/passportadvantage/Counting_Software_licenses_using_specific_virtualization_technologies.html
* An Activated processor core is a processor core that is available for
use in a physical or virtual server, regardless of whether the capacity of
the processor core can be or is limited through virtualization technologies,
operating system commands, BIOS settings, or similar restrictions.
Notes
Some programs may require licenses for the program AND what is being managed.
In that case, the following applies: In addition to the entitlements required
for the program directly, Licensee must obtain PVU entitlements for this program
sufficient to cover the processor cores managed by the program.
Some programs may be licensed on a managed basis ONLY. In that case, the
following applies: Instead of the entitlements required for the program directly,
Licensee must obtain PVU entitlements for this program sufficient to cover
the processor cores managed by the program.
A few programs on an exception basis may be licensed on a referenced basis.
In that case, the following applies: Rather than obtaining entitlements for
the activated processor cores available to the program, Licensee must obtain
PVU entitlements for this program sufficient to cover the environment made
available to the Referenced program as if the program itself were executing
everywhere the Referenced program was executing, independent of the basis
on which the Referenced program is licensed.
Express and
Workgroup programs may be licensed with maximum use terms. In that case, the
following applies: The maximum authorized use terms and conditions for PVU
licensed IBM Express and
Middleware programs can be found in the IBM Express and Middleware Licensing Guide.

you with access to IBM databases containing information on known program
defects, defect corrections, restrictions, and bypasses at no additional charge.

of support with 12 months' notice. If you require additional technical support
from IBM,
including an extension of support beyond the discontinuance date, contact
your IBM representative
or IBM Business
Partner. This extension may be available for a fee.

if within 30 days of your invoice date you return the program and its PoE
to the party from whom you obtained it. If you downloaded the program, you
may contact the party from whom you acquired it for instructions on how to
obtain the refund.

Advantage offering, this term applies only to your first acquisition

IBM has
transformed its delivery of hardware and software support services to help
you achieve higher system availability. Electronic Services is a web-enabled
solution that offers an exclusive, no-additional-charge enhancement to the
service and support available for IBM servers. These services are designed
to provide the opportunity for greater system availability with faster problem
resolution and preemptive monitoring. Electronic Services comprises two separate,
but complementary, elements: Electronic Services news page and Electronic
Services Agent.
The Electronic Services news page is a single Internet entry point that
replaces the multiple entry points traditionally used to access IBM Internet services
and support. The news page enables you to gain easier access to IBM resources
for assistance in resolving technical problems.
The Electronic
Service Agent™ is no-additional-charge software that resides on your server.
It monitors events and transmits system inventory information to IBM on a periodic,
client-defined timetable. The Electronic Service Agent automatically
reports hardware problems to IBM. Early knowledge about potential problems enables IBM to
deliver proactive service that may result in higher system availability and
performance. In addition, information collected through the Service Agent
is made available to IBM service support representatives when they help answer
your questions or diagnose problems. Installation and use of IBM Electronic
Service Agent for problem reporting enables IBM to provide better support and service
for your IBM server.
