Information regarding potential future products is intended to outline our general product direction and it should not be relied on in making a purchasing decision. The information mentioned regarding potential future products is not a commitment, promise, or legal obligation to deliver any material, code or functionality. Information about potential future products may not be incorporated into any contract. The development, release, and timing of any future features or functionality described for our products remains at our sole discretion. Performance is based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual throughput or performance that any user will experience will vary depending upon many factors, including considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user s job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve results similar to those stated here. 1

3 Agenda IBM Process Designer Evolution from Desktop to Web Process Modeling Experience for BPD & Case in the Web Process Designer Content Folder Management Inside a Process Unified Playback Experience with Web Process Designer Summary of What is new in IBM Web based Process Designer Demonstration of Web Designer Experience 2

4 Process Desiger Evolution from Desktop to Web 2/19/2016 Desktop Designer Web Designer Desktop Designer Web Designer Classic Process Center Introduced in (2014) Classic Process Center (2016) Business Programmers 1. build processes ranging from "structured" to "unstructured - BPD 2. build services for integrations 3. build heritage UIs 4. launch web designer: case process responsive business UIs SME Authors 1. define "unstructured" processes/ cases 2. consume reusable BPDs, services, and UIs 3. author responsive UIs Business Programmers 1. build services for integrations 2. build heritage UIs 3. build classic BPD 4. launch web designer: full process modeling responsive business UIs Business Programmer/ SME Authors 1. full process modeling from structured process to ad hoc case process 2. consume reusable services 3. author responsive UIs 4. unified end-to-end process playback experience

5 Spectrum of Process Types and Process Edior Structured Process Ordered Sequence of Activities Some Ad Hoc Some Unordered (Ad-hoc) Activities Basic Case Some Activities with with Ordered Steps Basic Case Unordered Set of Activities System managed process with human involvement Knowledge workers managed process BPD Editor (Desktop) Case type Editor (Web) Process Editor - Converged (Web) 2/19/2016 IBM Confidential 4

6 IBM BPM Process Desktop BPD Service Service Ad hoc BPD SubProcess consumes Web Case IBM ECM folder Simple SubProcess playback Ad hoc converged Service Service consumes Process CMIS ECM folder Full SubProcess playback

7 8.5.7 Process Editor: Support Different Process Patterns Pattern-1 : Process with Ad hoc Activities Pattern-2 : Structured Process with Ad hoc Activities 3 Ad Hoc activity types Process ends when all required and started activities completed Process ends when sequence flow and ad hoc activities completed 6

8 BPM Web Designer : more modern web interface 7

9 BPM Web Designer : more room for editor library tree automatically closed in edit mode unless it s pinned 8

10 BPM Web Designer : validation errors 9

11 BPM BPD to Process Conversion Once converted, can only be edited in Web PD. Can rollback to previous snapshot. Both Process and BPD run in the same process engine. 10

12 BPD vs Process: Views BPD Process 11

13 8.5.7 BPD vs Process : Ad Hoc Activity BPD no tracking support Process tracking and improved pre-conditons Pre & Post Tracking on activity reduce diagram complexity 12

14 8.5.7 Process Editor: Ad Hoc Activity Support Ad Hoc Activity Activity not connected to a sequence flow Automatic or Manual Required, Optional, All Required Activities must be started before a process can be completed Improvement Tracking event improved pre-conditions 13

15 8.5.7 Process: Content Folders Support A Root process instance folder managed by IBM BPM 2. Sub-Folder managed by IBM BPM 3. Nested Sub-folder under IBM BPM managed folder 4. Sub-Folder reference to Folder in external ECM 5. External folder reference can be static or dynamic 6. BPM Runtime content governess store document in external ECM as best practice. 5 14

16 Process Folder Support Summary Content BPD Case Process Process Instance No Root Folder Yes Managed by IBM ECM Sub Folder Type No Yes IBM ECM Content Federation Yes Managed by BPM to support federation Yes Sub folder type: BPM Managed ECM with CMIS including IBM ECM No No Yes each folder can reference different content folder in different ECM system 15

17 8.5.7 Inspector: End-to-End Process Playback Experience Eclipse PD Playback Can debug each artifact but each with different debug experience Process (desktop-graphical), service (web-text) and CSHS (web-graphical) each provides different debug experience Disjointed end-to-end process playback with both Desktop and Web Tools Web PD Playback Debug each artifact with the same Web debugger interface based on CSHS graphical web experience with flow model (process, service, CSHS) Debug end-to-end process with single Web Experience step through the process at a logical break point e.g. a user task and stepping into a task stepping into a service from a CSHS (yes) from a process (not yet) unified web playback experience 16

18 8.5.7 Inspector: Playback Sample 2 ad hoc activities started 3 tasks to claim Debug task1 by click debug here 17

19 8.5.7 Inspector: Drill down to User Task 1 In side task1 implementation : CSHS1 18

20 8.5.7 Inspector: Drill down to Service Stepping into a service In side service implementation : Integration1 Debugging a service 19
