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
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 8.5.7 Demonstration of 8.5.8 Web Designer Experience 2
Process Desiger Evolution from Desktop to Web 2/19/2016 Desktop Designer Web Designer Desktop Designer Web Designer Classic Process Center Introduced in 8.5.5 (2014) Classic Process Center 8.5.7 (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

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
BPM 8.5.7 Web Designer : more modern web interface 7
BPM 8.5.7 Web Designer : more room for editor library tree automatically closed in edit mode unless it s pinned 8
BPM 8.5.7 Web Designer : validation errors 9
BPM 8.5.7 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
BPD vs Process: Views BPD Process 11
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
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 8.5.7 Improvement Tracking event improved pre-conditions 13
8.5.7 Process: Content Folders Support 1 2 3 4 6 1. 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
Process Folder Support Summary Content BPD Case 8.5.6 Process 8.5.7 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
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 8.5.7 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
