Session monitoring

You can monitor multiple events that are part of the same session, by using the Common Base Event browser to find all events on the Common Event Infrastructure database that contain the identical session ID attribute.

IBM BPM Advanced has enhanced capabilities with which you can identify all the service component events that are part of a single session. The standard elements for the Common Base Event include an attribute under the contextDataElement element, called WBISessionID. A unique identifier for an individual session is stored in this attribute, for all service component events that were part of that session. You can use the SessionID field in the Common Base Event browser to search for events stored on the Common Event Infrastructure (CEI) database that match the session ID you specify. With this capability, you can easily review the process flow and contents of all the service component events. You can use this information to assess the efficiency of your applications, and aid you in diagnosing problems that occur only under certain circumstances.

You can use the Common Base Event browser to view the returned list of events and their associated contents. If you click the All Events view, you can see columns of links for more details about events.

If a particular event has a link in the Failed column, you can click that link to view more details about the failed event. Similarly, if there is a link in the Business Process associated with a particular event, you can click that link to open the Business Process Choreographer Explorer and view further information about the business process or human task event.
