Monitoring Business Processes

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

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