What is BPM?

1.1 What is BPM?

Business Process Management is a business management methodology, which objective is to improve productivity and organizational effectiveness through the optimization of business processes.

A Business process is a collection of activities and tasks that produce something of value to organization or its customers.

BPM is a set of tools and services that support human and application interaction with business process.

The basic idea is to manage, in a unified manner, processes, people and information for all activities of the company.

What’s new in PRPC V6.1 Service Pack 2 ?

What’s new in PRPC V6.1 Service Pack 2 ?

PRPC V6.1 Service Pack 2 is introduced in October, 2010 which has many enhancements in the following areas:

  • * Platform and performance
  • * Supporting the business analyst
  • * Enhanced reporting capabilities
  • * Case Management
  • * Integration
  • * User Interface
  • * System Management

Platform and Performance

· You can install SP2 on IBM’s zSeries mainframes using x/OS DB2 for the database and WebSphere 6.X as the application server.

· The standard composite portals Manager and User are tested and supported for use with Google’s Chrome browser, versions 5 and 6. With appropriate care, applications you build can also operate correctly using the Chrome browser. (Firefox and Safari remain additional browser choices for application users.)

· You can use Microsoft Office 2010 programs with SP2, including Visio 2010, Word 2010, and Excel 2010.

SP2 offers improved performance in multiple areas, including rule assembly, database access, and client UI operations.

Supporting the business analyst

A new portal supports the distinctive needs of business analysts, providing a focused alternative to the Designer Studio. The portal provides access to the Discovery map, use cases, and Key performance indicators.

Enhanced reporting capabilities

· A report can select rows based on comparisons of two property values, such as “UpdateDate is greater than DueDate”.

· When selecting columns for a report, you can include fields from joined abstract classes.

· Categories and shortcuts are rule types, and so can be migrated as part of an application ZIP archive.

Most of the new features are available to managers (as well as developers), through the Report Browser and Report Viewer, rather than only through the rule form. New help topics are available to managers using the Report Browser or Report Viewer.

Eighty new standard function alias rules reduce the need for custom-crafted “getContent” activities that select, sort, or compute values for reports. Many involve date computations, such as “within the last month”. IN addition to these standard function alias rules, you can crate custom function alias rules as needed for SQL calculations.

You can present, in a report, data from multiple classes through multiple joins that form a cascade.

Case Management Support

Extensive new facilities for both developers and users extend Process Commander’s suitability for managing large, complex cases.

Integration

Optionally, your application can connect to an external content management system such as Alfresco, or any other enterprise content management system that supports the Content Management interoperability Services standard maintained by OASIS.

You can choose to save and access file-type work object attachments, in the content management system, rather than in the PegaRULES database.

Connect HTTP rules now support binary MME attachments.


When the system sends outbound email, if the connection to the email server fails, messages are automatically queued for resending later. No configuration changes are needed.

SP2 provides initial support for the Java Specification Request 286 portlet standards.

User Interface

SP2 introduces auto-generated HTML Properties (now known as controls). These make it easier to find and configure controls, will support smoother application upgrades, and provide a unified model for events/actions, and improved runtime performance.

System Management

A new Application Packaging wizard prompts you to identify and select not only the RuleSets that make up an application, but the important data objects such as access groups, workbaskets, and database table records.
