2.129 Create or Edit Activity Sensor Dialog

Use to manage (create, edit, or delete) activity sensors.

Activity sensors monitor the execution of activities in a BPEL process. For example, you can monitor the execution time of an invoke activity or the completion time for a scope activity.

Element Description

Name

Enter a name or accept the default name of ActivitySensornumber. Once complete, this name displays under the Sensors > Activity folder in the Structure window.

Activity Name

Displays the name of the selected activity in which to create the activity sensor. If this sensor is not currently associated with an activity, click the Search icon to select an activity.

Evaluation Time

Select a time phase during which to monitor the activity:

  • Activation: Monitoring begins when the activity starts its tasks.

  • Completion: Monitoring begins when the activity completes its tasks.

  • Fault: Monitoring begins if an error occurs in the activity.

  • Compensation: Monitoring begins when compensation occurs (when a scope activity is compensated).

  • Retry: Monitoring begins when a retry occurs (when an invoke activity is retried).

  • All: Monitoring occurs through all of these phases. This option is the default selection.

Activity Variable Sensors

Displays the variable sensors associated with this sensor activity, the XPath, and the output namespace. Variable sensors monitor variables (for example, input and output data) in a BPEL process.

Add icon

Click to create an activity variable sensor.

Edit icon

Click to edit a selected activity variable sensor.

Delete icon

Click to delete a selected activity variable sensor.

Sensor Actions

Displays the sensor actions associated with this activity sensor. Sensor actions enable you to publish sensor data to an endpoint, such as a database or JMS queue.

Note: You cannot create or edit Oracle BAM sensor actions from this dialog. You can only create Oracle BAM sensor actions from the Structure window by right-clicking Sensor Actions and selecting Create > BAM Sensor Action. You can edit an existing Oracle BAM sensor by selecting it from beneath the Sensor Actions folder in the Structure window.

Add icon

Click to add a sensor action.

Edit icon

Click to edit a selected sensor action.

Delete icon

Click to delete a selected sensor action.
