You need to set up autotracking before you can use the ad hoc wizard. When autotracking is enabled for a process, data for any nested processes of that process will also be tracked. Subprocesses and services inherit the setting of the parent process.

About this task

To use autotracking, perform the following steps.

Procedure

  1. Open the process in Process Designer.
  2. Click the Tracking tab for the process.
  3. Ensure Enable Autotracking is selected.
  4. In the Autotracking Name field, enter the name you want to use.
  5. In order to analyze process data according to particular business variable values, set the variables as follows.
    1. Click the Variables tab for the diagram.
    2. For each variable you want to track, right click it and then click Track this Variable.
  6. Click Save or Finish Editing.
    For details about declaring variables for the client-side human services, see Declaring variables
  7. To send the new tracking requirements to the Business Performance Data Warehouse, in the Overview page of the Process App Settings, click Update Tracking Definitions.

Results

When you run instances of the process, IBM® Business Automation Workflow stores the tracked data for each variable in the appropriate column. Each row in a Tracking Group view represents a discrete unit of tracked data.
