Dynamic Business Process Views

This facility lets you collect WorldView objects based on a query or set of queries. Based on your query, the system keeps the set of objects contained in the Dynamic Business Process View up-to-date based on WorldView notifications. If something changes in an object, the system checks whether the change fits the query. If so, it adds the object to the Dynamic Business Process View. If the change no longer fits the query, it is removed from the Dynamic Business Process View. Dynamic Business Process Views are similar to the billboard, letting you scope the query to objects at a level of your choosing in the topology.

To create Dynamic Business Process Views, first choose an object whose children you want to limit your view to in the 2D Map. Then, in Design mode, use the Tool Palette, drag the Dynamic BPV class (Classes, ManagedObject, BusinessView, DynamicBPV) to the 2D Map, and rename it to define the query. To set up a query for this newly created Dynamic Business Process View, right-click on it and choose Viewers, Dynamic BPV Query View.
