Your first Cordys Dashboard

Monitoring

Within an enterprise and on your processes you want monitoring. Monitoring is used to for example:
  • View the number of ongoing processes and its status
  • If certain KPI's are met
  • Triggering other processes when a certain event takes place
Cordys supports this in the form of BAM and uses certain constructs for this. In this Blog i will describe a small example on how to set up BAM and how to create Dashboards. It gives an idea on how this can be done in Cordys. I use the following picture in which the created Cordys artifacts are displayed.


Step 1 - Create a webservice

This step is not described here, but a webservice can be generated from a BPM, database or an external service can be used for example. Next i will use this webservice to create a Business Measure artifact.

Step 2 - Create a Business Measure

A Business Measure helps in measuring a particular aspect of a business process or any external data. The Business Measure provides a view on the selected attributes, contained in a Process Monitoring Object, a webservice or the external data source. In this case we use a webservice as the basis.

  • Create a new Business Measure
  • Fill in name and description
  • Select Graph because we will use it to show on a dashboard.
  • Create Measure From: Web Service
  • Select Object Source: GetProductsObjects
  • In this case we will show the products and ho much is in stock

  • Click Next
  • Select New and click Finish
A webservice is generated and a component is generated that can be used within a dashboard. 

Step 3 - Create a dashboard

Now we are creating an interface for the monitoring of the produkts in stock.
  • Create an XForm artifact
  • Drag-and-drop the Producktsinstock component (as shown in the previous step) on the UI
  • Click on Properties of this component

In the properties you can choose how the data should be displayed.
View - The type of dashboard used. In this case i choose for Bar Chart. There are a couple more possibilities
Business Object - Here you select the data that is to be used from the webservice. In this case the Old tuples  contain the products. 
X-Axis fields - Here you select the attribute that is used for the X-axis. In this case the ProductName.
Y-Axis - Here we choose the UnitsInStock attribute.

Because the webservice requires two input parameters, these are given in the Input Parameters properties.

  • Select Preview and you will see you first Dashboard with Cordys BAM

Next time i will show how to create a KPI (Key Performance Indicator) that triggers another process.

  1. How different, if we could create models that are readable by customers and need no extra translation by developers.

OSB 10gR3 and SWA and MTOM

This blog is about using soap with attachments and the use of MTOM within the OSB (10gR3). A service is created that accepts a soap with attachment (DocumentService) and translates it to a service that accepts a binary element. MTOM is used for performance reasons for the second. Some notes: * For the use of attachments you need RPC-style document instead of the usual document-style. This due to the fact that the document-style limits a message to a single . * A service can not have both SWA and MTOM within OSB. First a WSDL is setup for the DocumentService: The $attachments variable holds the attachments and the body holds the attachment data. Also other data is stored within the attachment element (see h

Microservices mindmap

"The tree" - See also   my photo page When you are fairly new within the Microservices land, there are a lot of terms fired at you. So also for my own understanding i have made a mindmap. I think it has a good status now, so that i can share it with you. As always feedback is very welcome ! You can download the mindmap here .

Book review: Data Management at Scale (Piethein Strengholt)

 This blog is a review of the book "Data Management at Scale (See also at bol.com ) Data Management is a hot topic nowadays and this book does a fantastic job at adding value to this topic. It is a must read and one of the few technical books I finished reading in a weekend. The book gives a fantastic overview on how to implement a Data Mesh data architecture. The Data Mesh concept is explained by Martin Fowler here . The book is a good mix between conceptual and implementation architecture level. It gives a lot of examples of how this architecture at scale can work, for both small and big companies. It is practical and I used it to implement it at one of my customers. The book describes an architecture in which the focus is on the DIAL (Data- and Integration Access Layer).  On a high level the book covers the following topics: The key principles for data management at scale - Domain-Driven Design  - Domain Data Stores - Meta data management Ready Data Store The concept of servin
