Launch the workflow to provide the data stream

About this task

Start Process Designer and launch the SalesMonitorDemo workflow a few times (at least eight) to create a data stream of workflows and work items.

The data fields will be initialized with random values in each instance of the workflow. In your client application, complete some of the work items in your Inbox (the CheckCredit step) so that there will be work items in the Notify and PackShip queues.

Note: Do not complete the items in the Notify queue or the PackShip queue. For the examples listed below, we will monitor workflows and work items in progress, not completed workflows.

This completes the setup steps for the data source that will work for the examples. Continue with the instructions for configuring IBM® Cognos® Real-time Monitoring Workbench for the following example:

Case Monitor example: Sum and average amount by location.
