Model types

With the business repository, you can manually draw the process model in standard BPMN 2.0 notation by using the model editor. Process models can be exported in a standard BPMN 2.0 format or a .svg format.

When you create a new process model, you can choose to import it from a BPMN/XPDL file. IBM Process Mining is compatible with external sources, allowing you to import BPMN processes from sources such as IBM Blueworks Live. When importing, you can select the source system and browse for the file to import.

You can enable access to inner-BPMN information such as expected costs and times by enabling the Managed by toggle. New versions of the model can be created only by importing a new external model.

Note: Newly created models that are managed by an external application cannot be changed.

In addition to the regular process model, the following model types are available in the business repository:

Decision rules model (DMN): You can manually draw the decision rules model in the standard Decision Model and Notation (DMN) by using the model editor and create a decision table. The decision rules model allows you to define business logic through decision tables, where you can specify input conditions and corresponding output decisions in a structured tabular format.
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, be data-derived, or be manually defined. You can create hierarchical relationships between processes and visualize how different processes connect and interact within your organization. Each process in the landscape can be associated with an existing process model from the repository.
Application landscape: The Application landscape defines the layout and the connection of the systems that are used in your company. You can model the IT infrastructure by creating system elements and defining their relationships and data flows. This helps visualize which applications are used in your processes and how they interact with each other.
Organization landscape: The Organization landscape shows the structure of an organization and the relationships and relative ranks of its parts and roles/positions/jobs. You can create organizational units, define reporting structures, and specify roles that can be referenced in process models. This enables you to document who is responsible for different activities and how the organization is structured.
Simulation: All previously created Simulations and scenarios are accessible in the business repository.
Derived process models: Derived process models are published to the business repository from IBM Process Mining.
