#334 BPM 12c --> Web Forms - Adding columns to a table...

Thanks to Michael M. for this hint...

Per default we only see 3 columns, we can delete columns here, but not add them.

To add a new column, just drag an object, e.g. Text, from the palette and drop on the table.

Now you have the extra column.

#16 BPM 12c New Features - Enhanced BAM Integration

Here is my demo process -

Here is my XSD -

The process is relatively simple -

We will add some business indicators to this process -

Counters: for 

ordersReceived
ordersRejected
ordersApproved
ordersAutoApproved

Dimensions: for 

supplierDimension

productDimension

Measures: for 

orderSize

These are now available for use in the BPM process -

I set the 2 dimensions in the SetVars activity to the incoming supplier and product values.

I deploy the app and then open BAM composer - I check out the data objects on the
Administrator tab.

2 data objects have been auto-created for my BAMBPMDemo App.

I now kick off a couple of instances of the process -
some will be auto-approved, others approved and some will be rejected.

Back in BAM, I check the contents of the data object - BAMBPMDemo Activity.

We can now click on the Designer link and create a dashboard -
The detailed steps are covered in a previous post

Add the 2 data objects to the project -














This DO contains process instance metrics -

Create a View -

I open the Query Editor - and create a new Query
