Accessing the Process Mining User Interface

The IBM Process Mining user interface is accessible through the IBM Automation Platform UI.

A IBM Process Mining route is only available for REST API integration.

Accessing the Platform UI

The status of your IBM Process Mining Custom Resource Definition (CRD) instance contains information on the URL for accessing the application.

You log in to the platform UI by using your OpenShift Container Platform credentials or by using the 'admin' user.

The credentials for the 'admin' user are stored in the platform-auth-idp-credentials secret in OpenShift Container Platform. To get the password, you use the following command:

oc -n ibm-common-services get secret platform-auth-idp-credentials -o jsonpath='{.data.admin_password}' | base64 -d && echo

Accessing the IBM Process Mining capability within the Platform UI

You access the IBM Process Mining application using the link in the Analyze/Process Mining section in the navigation pane.

Configure the IBM Process Mining role

Only authorized users can see the IBM Process Mining capabilities in the navigation menu.

Two IBM Process Mining roles are available:

  • Automation Administrator
  • Automation Analyst

During the user creation, you assign the following IBM Process Mining roles.

Zen-roles

Automation administrator

The Automation Administrator role permissions grant users access to the IBM Process Mining application as administrators. With this role, you can log in to the Admin Console and manage application permissions for all users.

Automation analyst

The Automation Analyst role permissions grant access to the IBM Process Mining application as a regular user. You create processes and upload data with the Automation Analyst role permissions.

Obtaining the Platform UI URL from the CRD status

The status of your Custom Resource Definition (CRD) instance contains information on the URL for accessing the application.

To obtain information on your instance, you use the following command:

oc get ProcessMining -o yaml

The command shows you the YAML structure of the instance. You see the following information when you go to the status section:

status:
   components:
     processmining:
       endpoints:
       - name: Process mining API host
         scope: External
         type: API
         uri: <INSTANCE_NAME>-pm-<PROJECT_NAME>.<CLUSTER_HOST_NAME>
     taskminer:
       endpoints:
       - name: Task miner URI
         scope: External
         type: API
         uri: <INSTANCE_NAME>-tm-<PROJECT_NAME>.<CLUSTER_HOST_NAME>
     ui:
       endpoints:
       - name: cpd
         scope: External
         type: UI
         uri: https://cpd-<PROJECT_NAME>.<CLUSTER_HOST_NAME>
    conditions:
        - message: Running reconciliation
          reason: Running
          status: 'True'
          type: Running
        - message: ''
          reason: ''
          status: 'True'
          type: UIReady
        - status: 'True'
          type: Ready
      versions:
        available:
          channels:
            - name: v2.0
          versions:
            - name: v1.14.1
        reconciled: 1.14.1

You obtain the following information from the YAML structure of the instance:

Components endpoint URL

  • components.processmining

The endpoint of the IBM Process Mining REST API interface (more details are available in the IBM Process Mining REST API Manual).

  • components.taskminer

The endpoint that is used by the Task Mining Agent and Designer. This URL must be defined in the configuration (more details are available in the IBM Task Mining Client Setup Guide).

  • components.ui

The URL of the IBM Automation portal that is used to log in to the portal.

Deployment status

The condition with type Ready is true when all components (Zen and all IBM Process Mining pod's) are in status ready.
