Discovering the Value of SOA with WebSphere Process IntegrationWorking with the Process Model: Editing ModesUser modes offer different view and model detail– Basic: For a business analyst to work at the high level business process model. Focuses oncreating and displaying sequence flows, and does not display low level details of datamodeling– Intermediate: More technically focused user to specify and view additional details ofprocess and data models,– Advanced: Provides the most comprehensive level of detail for process models and datamodels -- used as the basis for software applicationsThree different technology modes are optimized for automation– WebSphere Process Server: Output in WS-BPEL, WSDL and XSD formats. Use inWebSphere Integration Developer to automate and deploy to WebSphere Process Server.– WebSphere MQ Workflow: Output in FDL format, which you can use in WebSphere MQWorkflow as the basis of an automated workflow solution.– WebSphere Business Integration Server Foundation: outputin BPEL, WSDL and XSD formats. Use in WebSphereStudio Application Developer Integration Edition toautomate and deploy toWebSphere Business Integration Server Foundation.30SOA on your terms and our expertise
Discovering the Value of SOA with WebSphere Process IntegrationThe Information ModelThis data can be imported in fromexisting sources or upon export beused to help develop or enhancesystems.Templates can be used toinherit information that wasmodeled previously or that arereusable across business itemsAbility to associate critical informationrequired for the process execution andto support the logic behind how theprocess behavesUsed in the analysis model fordynamic analysis of the processExportable so that it can be leveragedby both the runtimes and theapplication developers (UML Classes)31SOA on your terms and our expertiseRules associated tobusiness items can beevaluated duringanalysis
Discovering the Value of SOA with WebSphere Process IntegrationThe Resource ModelDefines all role, individual, and bulk resources that are used within the business process andtheir associated costsComplex resource behaviors can be modeled in order to accurately reflect those behaviors in theanalysis model– Qualifications and attributes associated to resources help determine the right resource to be used under agiven set of circumstances– Use of timetable definitions help to accurately reflect any resource schedulesScope definition helpsidentify specializedresource skill required tocomplete the steps in abusiness process32SOA on your terms and our expertiseCosts can beassociated toresources and canbe both per time unitand any one timestart up costsSpecifying availabilitycharacteristics assists insimulating real scenarios ofresource constraints
Discovering the Value of SOA with WebSphere Process IntegrationThe Organization ModelDefines the structure of organization units and locationsGraphical organization trees allow for visibility intowhat the relationship between the organizationsand the resources are in order to view hand-offsOrganizationstructures showsrelationships betweenorganization units andlocations33SOA on your terms and our expertiseAttributes of the organizationunits can be either userdefined or adhere to thedefinitions of a specificruntime
Discovering the Value of SOA with WebSphere Process IntegrationThe Analysis ModelCritical to understanding how abusiness process behavesUsed to perform Return onInvestment (ROI) analysis todetermine the differences betweenthe current and future states of thebusiness processSimulations against the analysismodel provides the mostcomprehensive way to identifycomplex behaviors of both simpleand complex business processes–Robust simulation on the analysismodel ensures that decisions madeagainst the business process arebased on the metrics that arevalidated by the business processSubject Matter Experts (SME’s)34SOA on your terms and our expertiseCost, Revenue, Duration,Resource, and Classifiersare attributes used atmodeling time to defineanalysis model
Discovering the Value of SOA with WebSphere Process IntegrationUsing the Analysis Model: SimulationWeighted average analysis provides a static, long-term view of the process; process simulation capturesthe shorter-term viewAbility to model "what if" scenarios and compare results and replay a simulation of a process withchanges to the modelSophisticated modeling and distribution for resources (individual and bulk), resource skills, resourceallocations, cost, revenue and processing timeDefine multiple resources in one step or individuallySimulation output provides detailed information regarding resource utilization levels, as well as cost andcycle time calculationsPowerful simulation engine supports conditional branching, steady-state model, run persistence, andmulti-process concurrent simulationSupports multiple possible input distributions: Lognormal, Exponential, Gamma, Normal, Poisson,Uniform, Weighted List and Random List35SOA on your terms and our expertise
