Model types

Process models

With BPA, you can manually draw the process model in standard BPMN 2.0 notation by using the model editor. Process model can be exported in standard BPMN 2.0.

When you create a new process model, you can decide to import it from a BPMN/XPDL file. IBM Process Mining is compatible with external BPA sources. You can import BPMN processes from those sources such as IBM BlueWorks.

By enabling the toggle Managed by, your external BPA vendor provides inner-BPMN information such as expected costs and times. Newly created models that are managed by an external application cannot be changed. New versions of the model can be created only by importing a new external model.

Decision rules model

With BPA, you can manually draw the decision rules model in the standard Decision Model and Notation by using the model editor and create a decision table.

Process landscape

The Process landscape defines the layout and the connection between process models. Processes that are defined in a process landscape can reference the actual process model, data-derived or they can be manually defined.

Application landscape

The Application landscape defines the layout and the connection of the systems that are used in your company.

Organization landscape

The Organization landscape shows the structure of an organization and the relationships and relative ranks of its parts and roles/positions/jobs.

Simulation

Within BPA, you can access all previously created Simulation processes and scenarios.

Derived process models

Derived process models are published to BPA from IBM Process Mining.
