Adding user-defined fields to BPM Monitor Model

Add the user-defined field to the appropriate monitor context as a metric.

To define a user-defined field as a metric:

  1. In the BPM Monitor Model, go to BPM monitoring and double-click BPM Monitoring.
  2. On the Monitor Details Model tab, right-click the appropriate monitoring context (process or activity) in the model tree, and click New > Metric.
  3. In the Create New Metric window, type a name into the Name field and click OK.

    The name is limited to 256 characters. The metric is added to the model tree under the monitoring context, and the form editor opens so that you can define the metric.

  4. In the form editor, specify the details of the metric as follows:
    1. (Optional) Type a description in the Description field. The description is used only in the Monitor Model editor and is not displayed anywhere in WebSphere® Business Monitor. The character set is unrestricted.
    2. Select the type from the list.
    3. (Optional) Type the maximum string length in the Maximum string length field. This option is available only if the type is String. The default is 256, and you can enter any value greater than 0. The maximum string length is added as a constraint in the database.
    4. (Optional) To specify a default value, type a number or a function into the box, or click Edit to enter an expression.
  5. Click Add to add a map to the table and, optionally, enter the expression for setting the value of the user-defined field.
  6. Click the Expression cell and open the Expression Dialog window. If you press Ctrl+Space for content assist, a small window opens to help you write the expression.
  7. Select BPM Monitoring.
  8. Select the inbound event that specifies when the value is updated in the data mart. Select the inbound event as either a Process Monitor context or the Work Item context that updates the value of the metric.

For detailed information regarding metric editing, refer to the WebSphere Business Monitor documentation.
