In-Depth Information
Another way of accessing BAM reports is through Application Development
Framework (ADF is Oracle's UI development framework) BAM data controls. These
controls can be used on ADF pages to provide custom applications and portals with
access to BAM data. These controls will update in real-time on a user desktop in the
same way as reports retrieved directly from BAM.
Steps in using BAM
The following steps are used in creating BAM reports:
1. Decide what reports are desired
2. Decide what data is required to provide those reports
3. Define suitable data objects
4.
Capture events to populate the data objects
5.
Create reports from the data objects
The first two steps are paper-based exercises to define the requirements. The
remaining steps are the creation of suitable artifacts in BAM to support the desired
business reports, defined in step 1.
User interface
Development in Oracle BAM is done through a web-based user interface.
