In-Depth Information
We can now select a date field (
Expires
) and select that we want to include any data
object whose
Expires
ield
is within a time period
of one week ago. This will prevent
us from having an ever increasing number of completed processes. When the filter
expression is completed, we click
Update Entry
to add the entry to the filter.
Update Entry link
Always remember to click the
Update Entry
or
Add Entry
link after
making changes in your filter expressions. Only after clicking this can you
select
OK
to complete your changes, otherwise your changes will be lost.
When we have clicked
Update Entry
, we can review the filter and select
Apply
. This
will update the underlying view and we can verify that the data is as we expect it
to look.
Monitoring KPIs
In the previous section, we looked at monitoring the state of a process. In this
section, we will use BAM to give a real-time view of our KPIs. For example, we may
be interested in monitoring the current value of all open auctions. This can be done
by creating a view, for example, using a dial gauge. The gauge will give us a measure
of a value in the context of acceptable and unacceptable bounds. Creating the view is
done in a similar fashion as done previously, and again, we may make use of filters
to restrict the range of data objects that are included in the view.
