Managing Business Performance Data Warehouses

The Business Performance Data Warehouses in your IBM® Business Process Manager configuration retrieve and store tracked performance data, which enables users in IBM Process Designer to create reports and also analyze processes using the Optimizer.

To learn more about tracked data and how IBM BPM enables you to analyze your processes and performance using this data, see the related information.

The following sections explain how to access the Performance Admin Console to perform administrative tasks and also provide a list of the types of tasks that you can perform in the console with links to detailed information and procedures.

Accessing the Performance Admin Console

To access the Performance Admin Console, use one of the following options:

Point your Web browser to http://[host_name]:[port]/PerformanceAdmin, providing the name of the host where the Performance Data Warehouse is installed and the port designated for the Performance Data Warehouse during IBM BPM installation.
If you are working on a Windows host where the Performance Data Warehouse is installed, choose IBM Business Process Manager > Performance Admin Console from your Start menu.

Log in to the Process Admin Console with the administrator account and password that was specified on the Administrative Security page during IBM BPM profile creation.
