You drag a measurement type on to a BPEL process activity in the designer for initial creation. Measurements are defined as floaters on top of read-only activities in the BPEL process. You can edit the measurement later in the Property Inspector or by double-clicking the measurement. The measurement floaters can be moved around by mouse on top of the BPEL process to achieve the necessary topology.

Each measurement type includes two tabs:

  • General tab: For defining the impacted activity, the evaluation event that triggers the measurement being taken, the measurement description, and whether the measurement is enabled.

  • Business Indicator tab: For selecting the business indicators for the measurement.
