Import the pre-configured Business Activity Monitor objects

FileNet Business Activity Monitor (BAM) software provides pre-configured BAM objects to access the workflow and work item data stored on Process Analyzer, as well as additional objects for more advanced activity. To use these objects, you must first import them into FileNet Application Workbench. You can use them as-is or modify them.

The pre-configured objects are contained in three JAR files, OOTBConfiguration.jar, BucketExample.jar, and ThresholdExample.jar. Each file is self-contained, so some of the objects are duplicated in each project. If an object already exists, it will not be imported again.

To import pre-configured objects

  1. In FileNet Application Workbench, click Administration Console, and then click Import/Export.
  2. In the Metadata Import/Export dialog box, click the Operation drop-down list and select Import Metadata from a JAR File (upload).
  3. Click Browse, and navigate to the BAM\samples folder on the FileNet Business Activity Monitor (BAM) CD.
  4. Click OK and wait while the data are imported.

    The Metadata Import/Export window will close when the import operation is complete.

Configure a context data source to access data from Process Analyzer

For IBM WebSphere, after you import the OOTBConfiguration project (which contains a JDBC agent), you must configure a JDBC connection to use the URL-based method.

Use the following procedure to configure the JDBC connection

  1. If you have not already done so, import the OOTBConfiguration project into the BAM Workbench.

    NOTE  The VMAEDM_JDBC_AGENT is disabled by default.

  2. Modify the provided JDBC agent and set the type of JDBC Connection to URL-based as follows:
    1. Enter the JDBC URL:

      jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver:// [Process Analyzer database server] : [Process Analyzer database server port] ;databaseName=VMAEDM;user=[ Process Analyzer database username] ;password= [Process Analyzer database password]

    2. For example:

      jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://hqdaffodil:1433;databaseName=VMAEDM;user=sa;password=sa

    3. Enter the JDBC Driver Class:

      com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver

  3. Enable the JDBC_AGENT.
  4. Import the BucketExample and ThresholdExample projects into the BAM Workbench, if desired.
