You can also view more advanced samples and tutorials online at the WebSphere Business Modeler Web site.
WebSphere Business ModelerImporting modelsYou can import models or definitions from several different formats into WebSpheren Business Modeler.
WebSphere Business ModelerCreating and organizing projectsProjects enable you to organize the various elements that you create as you model different aspects of your business or organization. In your project, you can create catalogs to hold different types of model elements, and use business groups to establish your own customized hierarchy of elements.
WebSphere Business ModelerCreating model elementsYou can model each of the elements relevant to the business. These include business items (such as documents, work products, or commodities), notifications (such as alarms), and resources (such as people, equipment, and materials).
WebSphere Business ModelerModeling processesThe task of modeling a process consists of defining the details of a business process flow, and modeling all the data, resources, and other elements that are used by the flow. This section provides instructions for creating the process diagram, and modeling the processes, tasks, and repositories, as well as all the elements that exist only within the diagram.
WebSphere Business ModelerModeling organizations and structuresYou can use WebSpheren Business Modeler to create a model of each organizational entity and location that exists in a business. You can then include these elements in the Project Tree view and associate them with elements in your process diagrams. You can also use them to create structure diagrams to model the organizational relationships between your model elements.
WebSphere Business ModelerSimulating processesWhen you have completed modeling a business process, you can use WebSphere Business Modeler to simulate the running of the process. Simulating allows you to assess the performance of the process, generate statistics, and pinpoint potential areas of improvement.
WebSphere Business ModelerAnalyzing models and simulationsYou can perform a variety of types of analysis on the model elements that you have created in a project, and on simulation profiles and simulation results.
WebSphere Business ModelerQuerying, reporting, and printingQueries enable you to extract and view selected information on elements of your models. A report is a formatted presentation of information relating to a modelor to the results of analyzing a process simulation. You can view a report online, print it, or export it to PDF format. You can also print and export diagrams.
WebSphere Business ModelerExporting modelsYou can export models from WebSpheren Business Modeler using several different formats.
WebSphere Business ModelerPublishing projectsPublishing a project copies the project and its model elements from WebSpheren Business Modeler to IBMn WebSphere Business Modeler Publishing Server Version 6.0.2.
WebSphere Business ModelerVersioning projectsTo support collaborative business modeling, project versioning enables team members to work from a common source and track changes to a model as it evolves. Use this information to share and work with a team to create and maintain a business process.
WebSphere Business ModelerModeling business measuresTo improve how you manage your company's performance, you can combine WebSphere Business Modeler with WebSphere Business Monitor. Effectively managing business performance involves continuously defining, analyzing, innovating, and improving each business process.
