How to Define an Interval Start
You can define an interval start measurement.
To define an interval start:
- Enter values appropriate to your environment, and click OK. Table 18-5 provides details.
Table 18-5 Interval Start Dialog - General Tab
Element Description Name
Enter the name of the interval start.
Activity
Displays the BPEL activity from which the interval starts.
Evaluation Event
Select the specific activity event that triggers the start of the interval. It can be one of the five activity events: Activate, Compensate, Complete, Fault, and Retry.
Description
Enter an optional description of the interval start.
Enabled
Select whether to enable the interval start. By default, this measurement is enabled.
Note:
Any name change is propagated to the corresponding interval stop measurement because the interval name is shared by both the interval start and the interval stop measurements.
In addition, any activity change updates the activity anchor of the interval start floater in the designer.
When complete, the General tab of the Interval Start dialog looks as shown in Figure 18-23.

Description of "Figure 18-23 General Tab of Interval Start Dialog" - Move selected business indicators to the Selected section. You can also click the Add icon to create new business indicators. Created business indicators are automatically added to the Selected section.
Note:
You can only create and select measures for interval starts. Dimensions are implicitly added to interval starts, and you cannot create and select counters for interval starts. Counters can only be created and selected for counter marks.
Any change on the business indicators for an interval start is propagated to its corresponding interval stop because both the interval start and stop share the same business indicators.
When complete, the Business Indicators tab looks as shown in Figure 18-24
