In-Depth Information
When we have completed the views in our report and saved the report, we may
view the report through the active viewer application and watch the values change
in real-time.
Note that we can drill down into the reports to gain additional information. This
only gives a list of individual data objects with the same values displayed as on
the top level view. To gain more control over drill down, it is necessary to use the
Drilling
tab in the view editor to specify the drill-down parameters.
Summary
In this chapter, we have explored how business activity monitoring differs from and
is complementary to more traditional business intelligence solutions such as Oracle
Reports and Business Objects. We have explored how BAM can allow the business
to monitor the state of business targets and Key Performance Indicators, such as the
current most popular products in a retail environment or the current time taken to
serve customers in a service environment. We also looked at how BAM can be used
to allow the business to monitor the current state of processes, both in aggregate and
also drilling down to individual process instances.
