Process Activity OverviewLocate this document in the navigation structure

Definition

Aggregated view of the Process Step Journal component of all participating logical systems. The process activity overview contains the combined data of all local Process Activity Logs on the level of a single process step (this means service messages). It also contains additional information as well as the aggregated technical status of all process steps. This means for all service messages that belong to a specific business process ID.

Structure

The data contained in the process activity overview is decribed below in detail:

  • Received

    The receiving system has received the service message. The relevant process step is completed from a technical point of view.

  • In Processing

    The process step has not yet been completed.

  • Obsolete

    The completion of the process step is no longer relevant for possible follow-up processes.

  • Errors in Content

    The underlying component could not complete the process step successfully (for example, error handling or service call).

In addition, the process activity overview contains the following specifications for each service message or for each process step:

  • Business Process ID

    The business process ID groups the log entries for all process steps that belong to one cross-system business process together. At the time of evaluation, it enables the identification of log entries that belong together.

  • Message ID/Process Step ID

    This uniquely identifies the process step (service message) on which the log entry is based.

  • Message ID/Process Step ID of the Predecessor

    This contains the ID of the process step that initiated the previous process step. In some cases this information may not be available.

  • System ID of the Sending System

    This identifies the logical system that assumed the sending roll when the service message was transferred to the current process step.

  • System ID of the Receiving System

    This identifies the logical system that assumed the receiving roll when the service message was transferred to the current process step.

  • Postprocessing Order ID

    This exists if the process step is in error handling or if error handling has taken place.

  • Status History

    This contains all log entries for the individual process activity logs with all the details that lead to the existing service message. Using the status history, you can see from which log entries the Process Step Journal derived the technical status of a process step.

Integration

The following diagram shows in simplified manner how the Process Step Journal maps the data from the individual process activity logs in the process activity overview.

Example

Case examples for deriving the aggregated process step status for each process step in the process activity overview are as follows:

  • Example 1: Aggregated Process Step Status Received

  • Example 2: Aggregated Process Step Status In Processing

  • Example 3: Aggregated Process Step Status Obsolete

  • Example 4: Aggregated Process Step Status Errors in Content
