2.171 Bind Measure Dialog or Bind Dimension Dialog or Create Dimension Dialog

Use to define a measure binding or dimension binding for a BPEL process.

A measure or dimension is a type of business indicator. Business indicators are designed to be sharable and bindable to multiple BPEL processes within a composite. This enables you to monitor their value changes from one process to another when the composite is executed during analytics runtime. You can bind measures or dimensions to BPEL XPath expression functions during creation. You can also specify ranges on some dimension data types.
