Scenario 1: Single

BRIDGE Installation

If you have set up one single Bridge BRIDGE installation on a machine, the full stack of dashboard Process Mining services needs to be deployed and executed on that machine.

Scenario 2: Distributed BRIDGE Installations

If you have set up BRIDGE installations on multiple nodes to distribute the services, you might want to collect and analyze data from multiple nodes. In that case it is not necessary to deploy the full stack of dashboard Process Mining services to each BRIDGE installation. The TrxLogsCollector is able to use an (S)FTP location to forward the collected log files to TrxLogsETLYou need to setup file shares to let the analytics-collector-service access the BRIDGE data directories of each node. Therefore, only one node is needed to run the full stack of dashboard services. The stack of dashboard services on all other nodes is reduced to the TrxLogsCollectorProcess Mining services.

You will have to install the ETL tools and a related database, the Analytic API and the Process Analytics UI.

Overview on the Installation Process

To install Scheer PAS Process AnalyticsMining, you need to got through the following steps:

1. Setup the database used by the Process Analytics Mining services.
   The Process Analytics Mining services rely on analytical data that has been collected and stored in a database.
   For a description on how to setup the database for the use of the Process Analytics Mining services, refer to Setting up the Database for Process AnalyticsMining.
2. Deploy the services that will collect, extract and extract query the analytical data. 
   The analytical data Process Analytics Mining relies on have to be collected and extracted to the analytical database.
   For a description on how to deploy the data services, refer to Deploying the Services. Deploy the services that read and provide the data in the analytical database.
   The Node.js services will provide you with an interface to inspect the collected Process Mining data. These services use the Analytic API service to access the analytical database.
   For a description on how to do thisdeploy the data services, refer to Deploying the Services.
3. xUML service (Analytic API service)
4. Node.js services
5. Connect the data collection services to the database.
   To connect the deployed services from steps step 2 and 3 to the database configured in step 1, you need to adjust some BRIDGE Node.js settings to match your configuration as described in Configuring the Process Analytics Mining Services.
6. Start the services.
   It does not matter in what order you start the services.Start analytics-etl-service first. Once it initialized the Analytic Database, start the other services.

7. Use the Scheer PAS Administration to create dashboard Process Mining users.
   In order to use Process AnalyticsMining, assign the necessary profiles to the system users. For further information about the needed profiles and how to assign them, consult the Home ADMIN. See page Configuring the Platform Services for further information about the composition of the Scheer PAS Administration URL.

Updating the Dashboards

Generally, you can just upload the latest service repository to update the Process Analytics Mining services. However, with updating TrxLogsETL updating analytics-etl-service there are some restrictions and you have to follow the procedure described in Updating the Services.
