Monitoring Java CAPS Business Processes

Monitoring Business Processes

In order to monitor BPs, you must perform a series of steps to configure individual BPs for monitoring. If you do not perform these steps, you can still view the BP on the Business Process Instance Monitor, but you cannot perform all the functions of the monitor and cannot view detailed information about each BP instance. Information about the Project components is available whether you configure the BP for persistence or not.

Before you can monitor a BP, you need to configure the BPM Engine for monitoring, and you need to create the monitoring and recovery database.
