IBM Business Monitor, V8.0.1 >

Scenarios

IBM Business Monitor, V8.0.1 supports Business Activity Monitoring of a wide range of environments.

Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) encompasses measuring business performance, real-time monitoring of processes, and reporting on business operations. The main mechanism by which information is made available to IBM Business Monitor is in the form of events emitted from the environment that you want to monitor.

The following topics provide an overview of how to use IBM Business Monitor for specific situations:

• Business Activity Monitoring for a BPMN process application (IBM BPM Standard)
• Business Activity Monitoring for IBM BPM Advanced
• Business Activity Monitoring through IBM adapters
• Business Activity Monitoring (Custom event monitoring)

Details on the following optional business monitoring environments are not covered in this topic:

• Business Activity Monitoring for WebSphere MQ Workflow

  For details on this solution, see http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/wmqwf/

• Business Activity Monitoring for FileNet P8

  For details on this solution see http://www.ibm.com/software/data/content-management/filenet-p8-platform/

• Scenario: Business activity monitoring for IBM BPM Standard
  The Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) for IBM BPM Standard scenario shows you how to monitor process applications that were built using IBM Process Designer and deployed to IBM BPM Standard.
• Scenario: Business activity monitoring for IBM BPM Advanced
  The Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) for IBM BPM Advanced scenario allows you to monitor applications that were built using IBM Integration Designer and deployed to IBM BPM Advanced. A variety of IBM BPM Advanced components, such as business process execution language (BPEL) processes, can be used to develop an application, and many of these components can participate in your business activity monitoring.
• Scenario: Monitoring events from an SAP enterprise information system (EIS) without mediation
  With IBM Business Monitor, you can monitor events from many different sources and bring them together to obtain a more complete picture of the business. To monitor events sent from an SAP enterprise information system (EIS), in addition to the other events you are monitoring, you can use Rational Application Developer and WebSphere Adapters to send events to the WebSphere Application Server Common Event Infrastructure (CEI), where they are accessible to IBM Business Monitor.
• Scenario: Business activity monitoring through IBM adapters
  This scenario involves monitoring information being sent to and received from applications, such as SAP, through IBM adapters. In this scenario, you use an IBM BPM Advanced or a WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus mediation module and an IBM adapter to interact with the application to be monitored. You use IBM Integration Designer to create or update a mediation module to emit events for use by IBM Business Monitor.
• Scenario: Custom monitoring solutions
  This scenario involves sending business-relevant information from IBM and non-IBM applications to IBM Business Monitor.
