All actions on Processware system tables are logged into an XML format. Slide 17 Relational Reporting Tables Exporting data out of system tables for reporting purposes is time consuming (and painful). Create a set of tables to represent each activity. Automatically populate it with transactional data at submission of activity. Slide 18 Relational Reporting Tables Information from controls and object groups is written into underlying tables (naming convention includes guide). Slide 19 Relational Reporting Tables Also provide user friendly views And a stored proc to show you what to query Slide 20 Auditing and Reporting Demonstration by Duncan Cooke Slide 21 Processware 2016 Database Performance 3 baselines created (4 process history tables used) Every query execution over 1 second was analysed Top 10 queries for each baseline compared Indexes & statistics created TableBaseline 1Baseline 2Baseline 3 fcEventHist54 352.00108 704.00217 408.00 fcEventValue5 058 782.0010 117 564.0020 235 128.00 fcEventArchive211 095.00422 190.00844 380.00 fcEventValueArchive18 253 680.0036 507 360.0073 014 720.00 Slide 22 Processware 2016 Database Performance Slide 23 Slide 24 Integration Framework Principal design considerations System level implementation Interaction is consistent regardless of the source of the data Wide range of data sources Database Web Services .NET Assemblies Intend for it to be used by partners to isolate IP Slide 25 Integration Framework Consists of the following components Catalog Builder Integration Service Process Suite Slide 26 Catalog Builder Admin tool to enumerate integration end points. Used to upload and download catalog to activity server Slide 27 Catalog Hierarchy Catalog contains: Endpoint(s) .NET assembly Database Data Service Soap Service WCF Service Each endpoint contains o Methods o Entities Slide 28 Integration framework catalogs are uploaded to the activity server. Then accessed in Process Suite designer. Consistent model is used regardless of source (DB \ Web Service\.NET) Catalog Endpoint Method or Entity Process Suite Support Slide 29 Lab Time Integration Services 45 60 min Slide 30 Native Mobile Navigators Continuing support of our design once run many strategy Adding native iOS and Android applications to our list of current navigators Will be available on the various app stores from December.
