Subprocesses and Sequence Flows

Modeling Business Processes with Oracle BPM 6-37 For more information on using measurement marks and the Process Analytics database, see Using Process Analytics in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Modeling and Implementation Guide for Oracle Business Process Management. A measurement mark stores the following data into the Process Analytics databases: ■ The value of the process default measures ■ The value of the measure business indicators associated to that measurement mark ■ The value of the dimensions defined in the process You can use one measurement mark to measure multiple business indicators. When storing the value of a measure business indicator, the BPMN Service Engine also stores the value of the dimensions you defined in your process. Later on, when you build the dashboards to monitor your process, you can use these dimensions to group the values into different categories. For example, in the Sales Quote process you might want to view the total amount of quotes approved by region. The types of measurement marks you can define are: ■ Single Measurement ■ Interval Start ■ Interval Stop
