Is it possible to use BPM datasources not only in VC, but in pure Java also?

[Former Member]

Hello!

As you know, there are standard tables with process analytics (BPM_BUSINESS_LOG_DS, BPM_MY_PROCESSES_DS, BPM_MY_TASKS_DS, BPM_PRINCIPAL_ASSIGNMENT_DS) and it's possible to create some graphical analytics through the Visual Composer or, if exists, through the SAP BI.

My question is it possible to use this tables through java? And then expose them as WebService, for example. The only way I see now is the direct connection to database. Any other ways to achieve this?

Hi Kirill

There are BI Java connectors for that.

Hi, Nick, we can use that connectors even if we don't have BW?

Seems you can get them right from SCN.

From the docs it appears to also be integrated into NWDS.

Hi Kirill,

did you manage to get to the BPM process analytics information using the BI Java Connector? We are also facing similar challenge and would appreciate any help on this topic.

Hi Tomas,

you can access BPM process analytics information using the BPM analytics API. See the Javadocs here (package: com.sap.bpm.analytics.api)

Generated Documentation (Untitled)

You can also access BPM Reporting Data Sources (package: com.sap.bpm.reporting.api)

Thank you Frank.

What I am looking for is the business log information, more precisely info about events, when process tasks were delegated. The BPM Analytics API doesn't provide this information. I tried to use the BPM Reporting Datasources API, but it can't find any BPM reporting datasource on my server. I was somewhat hoping to find the BPM_BUSINESS_LOG_DS datasource there, but there is no datasource at all.

Can you please help me with this?

Thanks and best regards,

Tomas
