Setting values for complex attributes in situation events
If you have a situation event with a complex attribute (for example, an attribute whose type is a business item), you can set the values of the complex attribute after adding the situation event to a business measure such as a KPI. To do this, complete the following steps:
-
Right-click the attribute and select Add instance value.
- Enter a name for the instance.
- Expand the instance and enter a value or calculation for each attribute by right-clicking the Attribute calculation cell and clicking the button that is displayed.
Limitation on sharing workspaces between WebSphere Business Modeler Basic and WebSphere Business Modeler Advanced
If you upgrade from WebSphere Business Modeler Basic to WebSphere Business Modeler Advanced, you should not use the same workspace, or projects will not behave as expected. Instead, if you want to use a project that you modeled in WebSphere Business Modeler Basic after upgrading to WebSphere Business Modeler Advanced, you should export the project from the Basic workspace and then import it into Advanced, or use versioning to access the project from the different workspaces.
