A business process view can be a manual effort, created by dragging and dropping, or it can be automatic, based on a query (a Dynamic Business Process View).
A CA NSM Business Process View is a logical group of managed objects that you create based on any criteria you determine, such as geographic location, business process, security, and so on. The Business Process View acts as a filter that displays only objects relevant to the management of resources for a specific business requirement.
A Business Process View helps you monitor and manage designated segments of your enterprise. The Business Process View is the means by which you can logically group the constituent resources that perform some business critical process; for example, accounting or personnel. The Business Process View is an effective way to alert you that a key link in a chain of resources is encountering some problem that may impact the business.
The contents of a Business Process View can represent whatever you decide is important to your enterprise. You can group these views by geographical locations, organizational structures and roles within the organization, applications, resource features, or any other requirements.
You can choose to display all Business Process Views at the top level or create intermediate ones to help organize them. For example, if you have Business Process Views for each city where your company has a branch, you could organize them into regions like Northeast, South, Midwest, and so on. Instead of one long list, you would see only the regional Business Process Views when the list is collapsed.
Note: See the User Options dialog, Business Process Views page to organize your Business Process Views.
The Business Process Views you create are visually represented as separate folders on the 2D Map. A Business Process View is itself a managed object, is stored in the MDB, and is accessible to any user of your 2D Maps. The same adding and modifying procedures that apply to all objects apply to the Business Process Views.
To monitor the condition and status of objects, you can set triggers and thresholds, and intercept messages generated by programs participating in the process. These views can assist you in the early detection and prevention of problems, and when a problem does occur, the Business Process View provides an immediate, graphical view of the source and severity of the problem.
