Before you start
IBM WebSphere Business Modeler (hereafter called Modeler) is the IBM business process development platform that enables you to quickly perform organization and resource modeling, analyze and simulate processes, create reports, and build business measures to address productivity and performance management. This series of six tutorials helps you prepare to take the IBM certification Test 992, IBM WebSphere Business Modeler Advanced V6.1, Business Analysis and Design to become an IBM Certified Business Process Analyst.
This certification targets intermediate-level business analysts who have developed skills in Business Process Management (BPM), including process design, organization and resource modeling, process analysis and simulation, identification of business measures to address productivity and performance management and generate reports. It is expected that they will be able to perform the tasks involved in the role independently, with limited assistance from peers, product documentation and vendor support services.
This tutorial is the fifth in the series designed to help you prepare for the IBM Certification Test 992: IBM WebSphere Business Modeler Advanced V6.1, Business Analysis and Design. Part 4 of this series described the Modeler analysis functions you can use to ensure that your model meets your business requirements. This tutorial focuses on how to leverage queries to further analyze your model, and how to use formal reports to document the analysis results. After you complete this tutorial, continue with the sixth tutorial covering the business measures model, which allows you to monitor, analyze, and report on actual runtime data.
This tutorial is written for analysts whose skills and experience are at an intermediate to advanced level. You should have a general familiarity with using an integrated development environment.
To run the examples in this tutorial, you need to install WebSphere Business Modeler Software V6.1. Download a free trial version of WebSphere Business Modeler if you don't already have a copy of it. You can find the hardware and software requirements for Modeler at WebSphere Business Modeler Advanced: System Requirements.
