How to Edit Business Indicators in the Business Indicator Overview Editor

You can create, edit, and delete business indicators for the SOA composite application in the Business Indicator Overview Editor, regardless of whether or how these business indicators are bound to specific BPEL processes. This editor does not change the bindings for those business indicators as long as they are not deleted. When a business indicator is deleted, all its bindings with the specific BPEL processes are also deleted.

The Business Indicator Overview Editor is the only way to edit and delete business indicators. From the various dialogs for counters, dimensions, and measures that you access from the Structure window or Property Inspector, you cannot edit or delete the business indicators. You can only edit their bindings to the BPEL process. The view of business indicators from the Structure window or Property Inspector is actually a binding view of the business indicators, and not a view of all the business indicators. Any unbound business indicators do not show up from the Structure window or Property Inspector.

Any relevant change in the Business Indicator Overview Editor is reflected in the Structure window or Property Inspector. Any relevant change from the Structure window or Property Inspector is reflected in the Business Indicator Overview Editor.

To edit business indicators in the Business Indicator Overview Editor:

  1. In the Applications window, double-click Business Indicators. Figure 18-33 provides details.

  2. Create, edit, and delete business indicators for counters, measures, and dimensions, as required.

    Note:

    You can also create a special type of business indicator called an attribute. However, Oracle SOA Suite analytics design time does not currently support attribute binding to BPEL processes. Therefore, you cannot create or bind attributes to the BPEL process in the Structure window or Property Inspector.
