Selecting the typical events to monitor

By using the fine-grained events setting, you can reduce the impact that the monitored WebSphere MQ Workflow process has on performance after enabling audit. However, there are events that must be present for successful monitoring.

Events required for successful monitoring
Event Code Event Description
21000 Process Started
21017 Process Created
21018 Process Created and Started
21001 Process Suspended
21002 Process Resumed
21025 Process Ended Normally and Deleted
21015 Block Started
21016 Block Ended
21009 Work Item Transferred
21006 Activity Ready
21007 Activity Started
21032 Activity Implementation Completed
21011 Activity Ended Normally

Remember:

  1. 21000, 21017 and 21018 are the start events for a process instance.

    You have to ensure that at least one of the start events is enabled. Otherwise, there will be no event to create an instance in the generated monitor model. Generally, 21017 or 21018 are the start events and only one of them happens for a specific instance, based on how the instance is initiated. 21000 is the start event when the process is invoked by another process, in which case, 21017 and 21018 are not emitted.

  2. 21001 and 21002 are typically enabled for calculating the working duration for a process.
  3. 21025 is typically used to indicate the process end.
  4. 21015 and 21016 are the events that indicate the start and end of a Block activity. Enable these two events if there is a Block activity in your FDL
  5. 21009 is the event that indicates that there is a work item transferred from one user to another user.

  6. For the process activity and program activity, 21006 is typically the start event for an activity instance. But if 21007 is not enabled, 21006 will be treated as the start event instead. Enable at least one of these two events.
  7. 21032 is the event that indicates the end of an activity instance.
  8. 21011 is the event that indicates that an activity is totally completed even if it ran multiple times.

The full set of events and their descriptions can be found in the WebSphere MQ Workflow documentation.
