Basic BAM functionality
FileNet Business Activity Monitor (BAM) software includes a pre-configured project, OOTBConfiguration, with all of the objects (events, views, cubes, dashboard objects) for displaying basic workflow data from Process Analyzer in FileNet Operational Dashboard. The topics in this section describe what is included in this project, and also an example of how to customize these items for your business purpose.
- See OOTBConfiguration project objects to learn about the BAM components that you use to retrieve the workflow data from the Process Analyzer database, identify specific views onto the data, and specify the format for BAM dashboard objects that display workflow and work item information. These pre-configured objects deal only with the basic system data that occurs in every workflow, such as the number of workflows, average processing time, queues, and users. To provide data for the displays in the basic examples, you need to have workflows in progress.
- See topic User-defined fields for an overview of the tasks necessary to monitor values in workflow data fields that you have created.
- See topics BAM example setup and Example - Sum and average amount by location for an end-to-end demonstration of setting up workflows with user-defined fields and monitoring the values in those running workflows using FileNet Operational Dashboard. These topics include instructions for exposing data fields, using the fields in a workflow, configuring Process Analyzer to use the fields, and customizing the basic BAM objects (events, views, cubes, and dashboard objects) from the OOTBConfiguration project.
