You can use Business Process Choreographer Observer to create reports
on processes and tasks that have been completed. You can also use it to view
the status of running processes and tasks.
For detailed information about configuring and using Business Process
Choreographer Observer, including in an ND environment, refer to support document 7008553.
You can configure Business Process Choreographer Observer in several ways:
- If you have an existing Business Process Choreographer configuration you
can use the configuration scripts, as described in Configuring the Business Process Choreographer Observer infrastructure.
- If you use the Profile Creation wizard, and select the option to create
a sample Business Process Choreographer configuration, Business Process Choreographer
Observer and event collector are configured, Common Event Infrastructure (CEI)
logging if enabled for the Business Process Choreographer state observer,
and the necessary database schema is created within the Business Process Choreographer
Cloudscape database, names BPEDB.
- If you use the administrative console to run the Business Process Choreographer
install wizard, there is an option to configure Business Process Choreographer
Observer.
Business Process Choreographer Observer is based on two J2EE enterprise
applications:
- Business Process Choreographer event collector
- Business Process Choreographer Observer
They use the same database. The event collector reads event information
from the CEI bus and stores it in the Business Process Choreographer Observer
database. Periodically the raw event data is transformed into a format suitable
for queries from the Business Process Choreographer Observer. If Business
Process Choreographer uses Cloudscape, DB2, or Oracle, Business Process Choreographer
Observer can use the same database instance, otherwise you must create a new
database.
The Business Process Choreographer Observer database is a set of databases
tables that store the event data. The tables can be created in an existing
database or in a new database dedicated to the Business Process Choreographer
Observer. Before you install Business Process Choreographer Observer,
the database must be available and a XA data source must be configured in
your application server to point to the database. You must create the data
source manually. To create the tables for the observer you can either use
the observer configuration scripts or you can create the schema manually using
the scripts located install_root\dbscripts\ProcessChoreographer\database_type
If your database system is DB2 or Oracle you have to run the createTablespace_Observer.sql script
before using the configuration tools.
