The Business Measures editor is a component of WebSphere® Business Modeler. You use it to monitor a process instance by creating a business measures model. In the model, you define what should be monitored: process instances, key performance indicators (KPIs), metrics, and business situations. You can also use the Business Measures editor to produce monitoring information through events, relationships, and maps.
To create the monitoring process, WebSphere Business Monitor depends on the business measures models. In each model, you define the measuring points, event filters, measurements, correlations, and the sources of business data. When the model is complete, it is exported from the WebSphere Business Modeler, which is then imported to WebSphere Business Monitor. The WebSphere Business Monitor recognizes the model to be monitored and the measurements to be captured from incoming events.
The Business Measures editor creates a business measures model for the process model, in which you define metrics and KPIs, event-emission points, event filters, event-composition rules, and situations that require triggering specific actions. For each process model, you define the corresponding business measures groups that will be exported for import to WebSphere Business Monitor. To calculate the KPIs and metrics, the Observation Manager then consumes the business measures groups definitions along with the incoming events.
