Can BPM visualize business process at runtime?

I am new to BPM. I am wondering if it can visualize the business process at run time so that the user knows what is going on. A use case would be in a document approval process, where a document needs to be approved by multiple people in different phases. The user would like to know the current approval status and who is the next approver, etc in a visualized graph.
Appreciate your response.

Hi tiwang,
Are u looking for the Flow. i mean let us Consider Leave Approving Flow.
You have a Initiator who Applies the Leave and this Task goes to his manager and the Manager will Complete the Task and the Task is routed to next level manager.
And you would like to see the same BPM flow pictorial in the BPM work list is it wat ur looking for. If yes we can See the flow in BPM workSpace or even BPM worklist.
Process: Once u Complete the Flow You will try to Test Webservice with Some Sample Values. Then after testing under Response click on Launch Flow Trace.
Then we will get the Popup with Flow trace. Then Click the Component then we will get the BPMN Process instance with three tabs
1) Shows the Audit Trail: Like u can see the Complete Payload of each and every Activity what it received and wat it gave the Output.
2) Flow: Visulaize the Flow
3) Faults: All the Exceptions which occur
Hope This is wat ur looking for. Else let me know if something else.
Regards,
Pavan

Business Process Documentation

Dear All
Business Process Documentation
I just want to know foloowing thing sabout Business Process Documentation.
do yuo know where there any documents about Business Process Documentation and system log ?
Edited by: Koji Watanabe on Feb 16, 2012 1:52 AM

Hellow Watanabe-san
Could you explain little bit mroe about what you are looking
for ?
Are you looking for the way to document Business Process in SolMan ?
Or
Are you looking for the way to monitor your business process in
the backedn system ?
The link that vasanthgobi mentioned is the SAP help on business
process monitoring.
Documentation topic
In SAP Solman, you can document your business process in following
2 area. Project area and Solution area. Project area is mainly used
for implementation phase or initial documentation. Solution area is
used for operation phase.
And to support the documentation, SAP Solman provides several
supporting tools for project area (you can copy the document in
project area to solution later).
In SolMan 7.1, if you want to document your business process,
you may have following possibility.
(General motivation for the documentation, please refer to the
this blog http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/27054.
And service Market Place
http://service.sap.com/esacademy (login in english)
=>meet the expert =>Replay Library.
=>SAP Solution manager =>Solution Documentation )
1.Upload via EXCEL (initial upload) and adjust in project area
<Create templete via project, and create excel content locally
and upload to project area>
2.Maintain business process by using Business Blue print function
<Using more graphical instead of SolMan screen>
Also refer to these blogs
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/28304
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/27212
And service market place link (webinar)
http://service.sap.com/esacademy (login in english)
=>meet the expert =>Replay Library.
=>SAP Solution manager =>Business Process Blueprint
3.Start initial documentation using RBPD content and adjust it in
project area
<SAP and IBIS develop analysis content based on the business
process repository. By using this content, you can execute
analysis for ERP and can get process utilization info.
And you can create initial process from this>.
Also refer to these blogs
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/26074
And service market place link
http://service.sap.com/rbpd
4.Document manually in project area
(Also ARIS integration is possible).
In above case, if you use RBPD content, yes, you have some step
related to the backend system (collecting process execution statistic
in ERP). But in other case, you do not have any activity to ERP.
For RBPD, it collects the data by using job, and you can control
the number of WP to be used. The runtime will be depending your
ERP system size.
Business Process Monitoring topic
In SolMan, there are business process monitoring functionality.
Actually, it is not only the monitoring, but also you can use it
for business process improvement.
Basically in business process monitoring related tools,
there are 2 main tools
1.Business Process Monitoring tool - Monitoring
2.Business Process Analytics tool - Analysis & benchmarking
(Also there are dashboard).
Business Process Monitorings enables monitoring of your core
business process from technical and application side.
The tool can monitor specific job(normal job/BW process chain),
interface(IDoc, tRFC, qRFC etc), performance, and also different
types of transaction document like sales order, delivery,
purchase order, production ordet etc.
For transaction monitoring, there are pre-defined template
(best practice).
Also it allows to monitor any table (z/y-table also).
And the Analytics tool is the tool based on the BW.
By using this, you can do benchamarking, trend analysis,
backlog analysis.
In more, I highly recommend to check the series of blog
by Volker. And FAQ document.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/u/251688346
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SM/FAQBusinessProcess+Monitoring
There are configuration document in service market place also.

Hope this helps you.

Unable to see deployed process in Business process workspace

Hello ,
I am using BPM Suite 11gR1 in Oracle Jdeveloper. As using Hello world sample, I deployed the process successfully at weblogic server But i am unable to see the deployed application bpm/workspace (Business Process Workspace).
How can i make sure this? There is no exception in server logs.
thanks

Thanks MSR.
I have other Web Dynpro applications that I have succesfully deployed and they display correctly in the WDP Content Administrator.
The application in question is fine up until the point I activate the changes. So using NWDS I build and deploy the application, and it shows correctly in the Content Administrator. Once I activate the Activity I can no longer see the contents of the DC through the Content Administrator.
So what I see in our development environment is:
+ rd1.com/WorkingOK
+ Applications
+ Components
+ Models
- rd1.com/NotWorking
(The rd1.com/NotWorking node cannot be expanded)
Therefore I can no longer run the NotWorking application or transport it into QA/Production.
I have noticed that in the Development Configurations perspective in NWDS that the DC in question does not have src/packages/ProjectProperties.wdproperties

Solution Directory--Business process --Check in /Out option

Dear Friends,
I am working in Solution directory (t.code: DSWP). I have created one maintenance project. In this maintenance project i have maintained the following business process.
1. Sale Order Processing
2. Production Order Processing.
These two business processes are currently running in my R/3 production process.
In SOLAR01 , "admin" tab i have assigned project team member as "ZSRAGHU" for business process 'Sale Order Processing"
Like the same way, for business process "Production order Processing" i have assigned the project team member as "ZSRAO".
In SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN t.code, i have checked in the box "Restrict changes to nodes in project to assigned team members" so that only assigned team member can edit the business process.
Now i have assigned this maintenance project to my Solution. (The name of my Solution is "TEST")
As per the help.sap.com document, if the business process has been "checked Out" from Solution directory by the project lead, then only the team mmeber can edit the process in SOLR01.
Am i right?
But in my system, the team members are possible to edit the business process (In SOLAR01..."Structure" tab) before the business process are being "Checked Out" from Solution directory.
I want to restrict this option to my team members.
My requirement is:
If the Business process been "Checked out" in Solution, then only the team member can able to edit the business process in SOLAR01 otherwise i can not preserve my production business process....
Please guide me to achive this & will be very much rewarded.
Note:
In "SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN" under "Scope" tab, check in the box "Edit structures" will NOT help to map this requirement as all aware.
Regards
Senthil

Dear Senthil,
By Business Process 'Check Out', I hope you are talking of the 'Document' attached at Process level and not the Process itself, as in the structure.
I can understand your frustration about the indicator "Restrict changes to nodes in project to assigned team members" not working.
As mentioned in the online help, did you try to work your way through Authorisation Object "AI_SA_TAB" ?
Is it due to some other authorisation that users have, which 'supersedes' this authorisation object ? Did you check any SAP Note for this object ?
If nothing else works, can you try to introduce a 'Custom Status' and use the following IMG setting to restrict it by users:
SAP Solution Manager -> Configuration -> Scenario-Specific Settings -> Cross-scenario Settings -> Document Management -> Status for Documents -> Assign Status Values for Read Authorisation
This may be a workaround !

Srini

Business Process Modelling Language Desirable Features

Hi All,
It will be quite interesting to see what features the BPX community would want to be in the Visual Business Process Modelling *** programming language which on one end use self-contained applications that use Web services as activities that implement business functions and on the other has interactions with other J2EE like web components .
For example I would like to see something developed by SAP where the Business Process mapping can be done with a strict protocol in ARIES so that applications can be built in the Visual composer and the BPX can visually do the one or more of the following
1.     On Screen chain End Chain valdiation
2.     Loop conditions
3.     Branching conditions
4.     Variable initialization
5.     Web service message preparation
The idea being the BPX can generate a running prototype for pattern based processes through grahhical interfaces and unless something really typical needs to be done, the coding can be eliminated.
Taking an example:
On a simple sales order if the stock is not adequate a purchase order needs to be fired.
The Business process mapping of the same can be done in ARIES where some available components (business objects like sale order) from R3 etc are available for modeling.
If this process is to be web enabled then one can use the business process modeling to develop a quick application in Visual Composer where one can use ESA for Sale Order as a Model and build screens based on that. The screen flow can also be built in Visual Composer to take you to through the various tabs.
The data flow across the various tabs also can be done through the component controller and the BPX should be able to map that visually.
The business event (Stock < Sale order quantity ) can be handled through a branching condition and web service message preparation to either generate a email message or fire a purchase order (handled in XI and exposed in one common place of the Business Process modeling Tool).
Marilyn : thanks for the offer of acting as a interface between the SAP development team and some of us with the wishlist. I would certainly love to be involved in the epochal development

Why leaving the tool? Why ARIS and VC and CAF and many more different tools?
I would prefer a tool that gives me - depending from the user - different flavors and views of my model. A tool that in one flavor allows me to define the process on a higher level, then in another flavor allows me to implement the application(s) of the process in a non-coding approach and then a flavor that allows me to pimp the application(s) with a coding approach.
All three flavors are working on the very same model. The different flavors immediately see the changes done by other flavors. A kind of realtime modelling.
The tool itself is not necessarily a single-environment approach, but can have one flavor running in the browser, the other one in a locally installed IDE. But still all of them use the same terminology. A data service here ,is a data service there, Business Object here is a Business Object there (and not a bean or a class or entity service etc.). That also would allow to have the different modeling users naturally move between the flavors, with a hard core programmer also being able to move to the Business Process Modeling tool, and the BPX also being able to write a small conversion routine.
Perhaps the proper term is "BP & App Suite", which serves all types of modelers involved: Business Process Modelers, Business Process Experts, Developers.
In the SAP world these tools could be: ARIS, Visual Composer, DevStudio/ABAP Workbench/.NET.
Today this is not the case: we have more than 200 tools (and we say we are not a tools company) and not really an exchange of models between those tools. Not to mention the different terminology...

Implementing a business process with Oracle software

Hello Oracle community,
I'm new to Oracle software and would like to know which tools from Oracle I need when I want to implement a WSDL based business process. All ressources I would like to access within the scope of the process are described with WSDL and I would like to model the whole process with Oracle software.
I guess that I'll need at least the JDeveloper Suite so the post is hopefully not completely off-topic in this forum.
In particular the questions are:
- Which Oracle Tool can model a business process (and can handle WSDL)
- Which Oracle Tool can implement the technical aspect of a business process (might be the same tool)
- Which Oracle Tool (Oracle 9iAS I guess) will I need to deploy & run the finished business process
- And the last question: does Oracle support BPEL?
I need this informationen for my studies at my university. I hope that someone can point me in the right direction.

Unfortunately the recently announced BPEL (Business Process Execution Language) Designer is available as an IBM Eclipse Plugin, so yes you need to be running the Eclipse IDE to be able to use the BPEL on top of Oracle Application Server (OC4J).
A Jdeveloper plugin for BPEL I guess would be available sometime next year ?

Integration with business processes (workflow)?

Hi all,
how OBIEE integrates with business process?
kapil

Hi,
Integration can be done both ways:
- You can call an iBot from any business proces via webservices.
- You can call a business process (i.e. BPEL proces) from an iBot through a custom java script.

ABC Costing - Business Process

I'm working in a matrix organization and we need allocate expenditures and revenue to a Process.
One Cost Center allocates expenditures to different Profit Center, in SAP a cost center is relationed with only Profit Center.
Therefore, I think in Business Process object of ABC Costing. Now I would like to know:
1. Can I use Business Process in all relevant transaction in SAP?
2. Can I assign revenues to a Business Process?
3. Can I get a Profit & Loss state by Business Process?
Thanks in advance.
José Luis

Hi,
in general follow the link to CO-ABC documentation:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60/helpdata/en/7e/cb7d1443a311d189ee0000e81ddfac/frameset.htm
Your questions:
1: see the link above, if you use "integrated CO-ABC" yes. Business process can be used as a fully integrated cost object.
2: yes
3: in SAP standard no, it depends on your effort to assign each P&L posting to a business process (price difference postings, inventory differences,... they do not belong to a single business process in SAP standard).
Best regards, Christian
