BAM Overview

Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) allows you to store, analyze, and display statistics about your business process exectuion.

BAM provides information about process instance performance and process workload. This information can be used to present almost real-time business processes metrics. You can then use these to analyze and then improve or adapt business processes based on real-world conditions.

To store and present this information, BAM contains the following:
Database BAM data is stored within a database. In ALBPM Studio, this information is stored internally as part of the embedded process execution engine database. In ALBPM Enterprise, you must configure an external database to function as the BAM database.
SQL Queries You can write queries that access the information stored in the BAM database. These queries are contained within a BPM Object Method. When you create a BAM Dashboard using the wizard, the wizard automatically creates queries based on the type of Dashboard template you choose. You can customize these queries or create your own queries and dashboards to customize the way you present BAM.
BAM Dashboards BAM Dashboards allow you to display BAM information in a meaningful and useful way. BAM Dashboards also allow you to drill down from a general view of a process to more specific information such as an order or claim.
Note: BAM Dashboards require the Flash Plugin.
