The situationBusiness issueSome pieces of work got lost between applicationswhich are involved in a business processDegree of synchronisation of some applications is lowTechnical issuesNo overall coordination or monitoring over those applicationsThe business process is implicitNeed for the real-time monitoring for ITNeed for the real-time monitoring for businessThere is no bigger architecture

ContextThe business goal (short-term)Implement monitoring WITHOUT disruptive changes in the infrastructure simple, quick and cheapThe techniquesMake the process explicitDiscuss monitoring approachesUse the architectural approach toMix BPM, SOA, ESB, BAM, BEM, CEPSelect tools which are good citizens (not expensive, easy to deploy, fit to existing culture, real worker, not exotic, etc.)*2010-06-02Example: Use of BPM to monitor an ESB-centric integration

SLA of each blockThe message event (E02) which should throw an alarm after the timer event (E01) is not activated because of the cancel event (E03)*2010-06-02Example: Use of BPM to monitor an ESB-centric integration

Takeover time between blocksThe exclusive event gateway (G01) is waiting for the end of transition (E04) or timer (E05). The latter initiate an alarm.*2010-06-02Example: Use of BPM to monitor an ESB-centric integration

Teamlog (Suisse) S.A.
General recommendationsBoth block SLA and takeover time can be monitored in different waysBlock SLA can be monitored by a particular tool itself Takeover time should be monitored by a third party Monitoring should take into considerations dependencies between events if a tool is broken there is no need to alarm about SLA of process instances which use this tool (similar to NAGIOS functionality)*2010-06-02Example: Use of BPM to monitor an ESB-centric integration

ConclusionIntalio|BAM (BIRT) allowes quick implementation of complex reportsDeep knowledge of SQL is mandatoryDrill down feature has not been testedMessages have been transformed by the ESBIntalio|BPM facilitates the capture of metricsBPM does not bring a lot in this example, because the process is simple and passive (or shadow)BPM added values comes from complex rules which are explicitely expressed (in comparison with CEP)BPM with active processes is naturally integrated with BAM
