Measures reported by SapB1WorkflowTest
Workflow in SAP Business One enables users to define, customize and execute workflows for key business processes, providing greater process flow transparency, standardization and control across Business One. The workflow service enables you to standardize your business operations to increase overall efficiency. With predefined conditions, the system automatically executes various tasks, liberating labor resources for more creative activities. Workflow instances contain multiple tasks and participants. To complete an instance, the participants should process their tasks correctly and in an ordered manner. The tracking function provides the participants with access to the process status for the whole instance, so that they can pick up and process their own tasks on time.
When the Workflow instances are error-prone or are cancelled frequently in the target environment, then, SAP administrators may find it hard to figure out how many times the Workflow instances were cancelled and turned out to be erroneous. To aid administrators identify how frequently the worflow instances were identified to be erroneous and were cancelled, eG Enterprise offers the SapB1WorkflowTest.
This test auto-discovers the Workflow instances created on the target SAP Business One and for each workflow instance, reports the number of times each workflow instance was completed and cancelled. This test also reports the number of times the execution of workflow instances was in progress and the instances that encountered errors during execution. This test also reports the rate at which the workflow instances completed execution, the rate at which workflow instances encountered errors and were cancelled. Using this test, administrators are pin-pointed to the exact workflow instance that was erroneous and was cancelled more frequently.
Outputs of the test: One set of results for each Workflow Instance executing on the target SAP Business One being monitored.
Descriptor: Workflow Instance
The measures made by this test are as follows:
| Measurement |
Description |
Measurement Unit |
Interpretation |
| In_Progress |
Indicates the number of times this workflow instance is currently inprogress. |
Number |
Compare the value of this measure across workflow instances to figure out the workflow instance that is currently busy.
The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the version, creator, start time, end time, duration in minutes, whether/not the workflow instance was auto started and start type.
|
| Cancelling |
Indicates the number of times this workflow instance is currently in Cancelling state. |
Number |
The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the version, creator, start time, end time, duration in minutes, whether/not the workflow instance was auto started and start type.
|
| Cancelled |
Indicates the number of times this workflow instance was cancelled during the last measurement period. |
Number |
The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the version, creator, start time, end time, duration in minutes, whether/not the workflow instance was auto started and start type.
|
| Cancelled_Rate |
Indicates the rate at which this workflow instance was cancelled during the last measurement period. |
Instance/sec |
|
| Error |
Indicates the number of times this workflow instance encountered errors while execution during the last measurement period. |
Number |
Ideally, the value of this measure should be zero.
Compare the value of this measure across workflow instances to figure out the workflow instances that encountered maximum errors.
The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the version, creator, start time, end time, duration in minutes, whether/not the workflow instance was auto started and start type.
|
| Error_Rate |
Indicates the rate at which this workflow instance encountered errors while execution during the last measurement period. |
Instance/sec |
|
| Completed |
Indicates the number of times this workflow instance completed execution during the last measurement period. |
Number |
This meaure is a good indicator of load on the workflow instance.
Compare the value of this measure across workflow instances to figure out the workflow instance that is overloaded.
The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the version, creator, start time, end time, duration in minutes, whether/not the workflow instance was auto started and start type.
|
| Completed_Rate |
Indicates the rate at which this workflow instance completed execution during the last measurement period. |
Instance/sec |
