Enabling processes for tracking and reporting

IBM® Business Process Manager provides ways to collect and consume process performance information. To take advantage of this information, you enable to design your processes to make them trackable.

  • Tracking IBM Business Process Manager performance data
    To create customized and third-party reports in IBM BPM, you identify the data to track and send that data to the Performance Data Warehouse.
  • Sending tracking definitions to Performance Data Warehouse
    In order to track performance data, you need to send tracking definitions to the Performance Data Warehouse. Each time you update your tracking requirements in IBM Process Designer, you must send the updated definitions to Performance Data Warehouse.
  • Exposing performance scoreboards
    The performance scoreboards are not exposed by default. If you want to expose them to your Process Portal users, you must complete some manual steps.
  • Defining reports in Process Designer (deprecated)
    Reports enable you to analyze business data that is specific to your processes. You can specify the variables to track and define the report to query your tracked data. Users can view the resulting report scoreboards from the Dashboards page in Process Portal. Instead of using the deprecated reporting capabilities, consider using dashboards that you design in Coaches.
