IBM FileNet P8, Version 5.2.1            

Configuring the user-defined fields in the monitor model

Configure the user-defined fields in your FileNet P8 environment and IBM® WebSphere® Business Monitor environment to allow WebSphere Business Monitor to receive event data from active FileNet P8 processes.

Complete the following general steps to define the fields to be monitored so that WebSphere Business Monitor can display the sum and average amount per location for the example process described above.
  • In WebSphere Integration Developer, add the user-defined fields to the FileNet P8 BPM Monitor Model.
  • Deploy the updated monitor model. For more information, refer to the Deploying a Monitor Model section in the IBM WebSphere Business Monitor documentation.
  • Add the user-defined fields to the FileNet P8 BPM Monitor Model.
  • Add the user-defined field event definition.

  1. Add the data fields Amount and Location to P8.BPM.Base event.
    1. In IBM WebSphere Integration Developer (WID), import the Project Interchange file, BPMMonitoring.zip.
    2. In Project Explorer under Event Definition, select P8 BPM and click P8.BPM.Base.
    3. On the Event Definition tab in the ExtendedData section, add the user-defined fields as child elements of business Data.
      VariableData
      Name: Amount
      Type: integer
      Name: Location
      Type: string
  2. Add user-defined fields (Amount and Location) that we want to monitor and their values at the process level.
    1. Under Monitor Details Model, right-click the P8 BPM Process monitoring context in the model tree, and click New > Metric.
    2. In the Create New Metric window, type Amount in the Name field and click OK.
    3. In the Metric Value Maps, add the expression to set the value of Amount.
    4. In the form editor, specify the type as integer.
    5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 above to add the Location metric in the process monitoring context. Specify the type as string.

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

  3. Add the Locationdata field as a dimension for the BPM Process MC Cube. Define the Location dimension:
    1. On the Data Mart Model tab of the editor, select BPM Process MC Cube in the Dimensions table, and click Add Dimension.
    2. In the Create New Dimension window, type Location in the Name field and click OK.
    3. Select the dimension and click Add Attribute. In the Create New Dimension Attribute window, type a name into the Name field and click OK.

      Click the Source cell and click the button that is displayed to open the Select Attribute Source window. Select the source of the attribute - Location.

    4. Select the Is Key check box.
  4. Add the Amountdata field as a measure for the BPM Process MC Cube. Define the TotalAmount and AverageAmount measures
    1. On the Data Mart Model tab, scroll down to the Measures table.
    2. Select the BPM Process MC Cube and click Add Measure.
    3. In the Create New Measure window, type TotalAmount in the Name field and click OK.
    4. Click the Source cell and click the button to open the Select Fact Attribute window. Select the source of the measure - Amount.
    5. Click the Aggregation Function cell and select the function Sum.
    6. Repeat the prior steps to add the AverageAmount measure, selecting the function Average.

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