Workbench objects
The Case Monitor workbench objects gather and assemble the business data for display in Case Monitor dashboard objects:
- Data stream
- A Case Monitor data stream can be thought of as a query that
uses an agent, such as Java Database Connectivity (JDBC), to retrieve data from the Case Analyzer database at a specified polling interval. Each data stream selects
data from a Case Analyzer table for a specific purpose. The retrieved
data is held in memory in a data stream table of the name specified for the data stream. See
Agents
in the IBM® Cognos® Business Intelligence online documentation
for
instructions about configuring an agent appropriate for your system. - View
- A Case Monitor view extracts data from the Case Monitor data stream and optionally other views to assemble the business model that you want to monitor.
- Cube
- A Case Monitor cube combines the view data with the measures and dimensions.
- Lookup table
- A Case Monitor lookup table provides meaningful reference information related to a Case Monitor data stream. Lookup table information is relatively static. Like a Case Monitor data stream, a lookup table uses an agent to retrieve data from the Case Analyzer database.
- Dimension
- A dimension is a ranked order of classifications that, from highest to lowest level, describe decreasingly smaller sets of related data in a Case Monitor lookup table.
The following sections list the workbench objects and data stream queries for monitoring current data and for monitoring recent historical data.
