Oops, it seems that you need to place a table or a macro generating a table within the Table Filter macro.

The table is being loaded. Please wait for a bit ...

ChapterNameExcerptUsage
Analysisnote_axis_allocation

The settings possible for axis allocation are explained in detail on the Configuring Axis Allocation page.

Analysisnote_filter_config

The Configuring Filters page explains all filter settings in more detail.

Analysisprocess_list

Is the process you are looking for not showing in the list? In order for data from Scheer PAS Bridge or Scheer PAS BPaaS to be transferred to process mining, the corresponding process must have been run at least once.

Analysis - Axis allocationaxis_aggregation

For key indicators on the y-axis the aggregation required can be set using a selection list. An exception here is the number of processes as aggregating these is not appropriate.

Analysis - Axis allocationaxis_aggregation_unit

The choices available are:

  • Number
  • Total
  • Average
  • Minimum
  • Maximum

Analysis - Axis allocationaxis_allocation_drag

To use an attribute, drag it from the list onto the area of ​​the corresponding axis. Only instance attributes with the matching symbol can be dragged onto the corresponding axis.

Analysis - Axis allocationaxis_allocation_error

If instance attributes of differing levels are mixed, the resulting chart is not meaningful. The wizard therefore displays the following message:

You combined process attributes with process step attributes. This kind of axis allocation will not lead to significant results.

Please change your selection of instance attributes. Attributes which match are highlighted in color.

Analysis - Axis allocationaxis_allocation_green

A green frame signals to the user that they are saving the selected instance attribute in the correct axis area.

Analysis - Axis allocationaxis_allocation_intro

You can determine which instance attributes should be displayed in the chart in the axis allocation step. The instance attributes available are listed on the left.

Individual instance attributes are explained in more detail in the Process Mining Glossary.

Analysis - Axis allocationaxis_allocation_list

The two areas for the content of the x and y axis are located on the right hand side of the pop-up window.

  • Dimensions are displayed on the x-axis. They are marked with the symbol .
  • Key indicators are displayed on the y-axis. They can be identified by the symbol .

In distribution charts (all chart types except tachometer), key indicators can also be displayed as a dimension on the x-axis.

Analysis - Axis allocationaxis_allocation_red

The correct allocation of dimensions and key indicators is visually supported. If the user tries to place an instance attribute on the wrong axis, the area will be framed in red.

Analysis - Axis allocationaxis_allocation_time

The unit of time can be set for time-based dimensions. This is applicable to the following instance attributes:

  • End Date
  • Last Update
  • Start Date

Analysis - Axis allocationaxis_allocation_time_units

The following units of time can be set:

  • Year
  • Month
  • Day
  • Hour
  • Minute
  • Second

Analysis - Filterattribute_filter

Once the basis for filtering has been defined, individual attribute filters can be created:

  • Use option to create a new attribute filter.
  • Click option to link attribute filters.

To select an instance attribute, expand the Field selection list.

Analysis - Filterfilter_basis

In the first field, the selection list is the basis for determining filtering:

  • All: All rules must be met.
  • Any:  At least one rule must be met.

Analysis - Filterfilter_contains

Example: Step contains %end%

All instances containing the string end in the step instance attribute will be displayed. Steps in which additional characters appear before or after the string end are also taken into account.

Analysis - Filterfilter_create

If you change the option on the create following filter function, the filter entry is displayed.

Analysis - Filterfilter_duration

Duration periods (process duration, step duration) are entered as whole numbers. A single number is interpreted as meaning a time unit of seconds.

Analysis - Filterfilter_duration_display

After completing the entry, the time units applied are written out automatically.

Analysis - Filterfilter_duration_no

If a time unit entry is not clearly defined, a corresponding message will be shown.

Analysis - Filterfilter_operator_contains

If the contains operator is used, wildcards can be used for entries in the value field. The following placeholders are allowed:

  • _ (underscore): An underscore can be used as a placeholder for any character.
  • %  (percentage sign): The percentage sign can be used as a placeholder for any set of character strings.

Analysis - Filterfilter_operator_table

A distinction is made between four groups of instance attributes and the operators belonging to them:

  • last day
  • last week
  • last month
  • last year

Analysis - Filterfilter_operators

Depending on the instance attribute selected, various operators become subsequently available. The operators available can be displayed via a selection list.

Analysis - Filterfilter_time_units

Weeks, days, hours and minutes can also be entered using the corresponding abbreviations:

Time Units

Permitted Input
(upper and lower case scripts are allowed)

Weekw, week, weeks
Dayd, day, days
Hourh, hr, hour, hours
Minutem, min, minute, minutes
Seconds, sec, second, seconds

Analysis - Filterfilter_value

If an operator was selected, the related value can be entered.

Analysis - Filtermanage_filter

Manage your filters using the three buttons that appear:

  • Use option to create a new attribute filter.
  • Use option to link attribute filters.
  • Use option to delete a filter.

General tipsmining_authorization

A Process Mining user is authorized to create analyses for all processes that are saved against their profiles. If a user’s rights are removed from a profile, they can no longer analyse the processes stored in it. If they have already created analyses prior to the loss of authorization for a profile, the analysis in the content area is shown with the message No authorization to analyse this process.

Note for administrators: The allocation of authorizations and profiles is explained in detail in the Administration Guide.

Installationcollection_level
Collection LevelDescriptionRestrictions
Custom

Collects everything that has been logged to the transaction log with transaction log level Custom:

Logs everything that is written by the logger adapter (for more details, see BRIDGE Documentation > Log Adapter).

All other logs in the transaction log will be ignored.

Service must at least have transaction log level Custom.
Service

Collects everything that has been logged to the transaction log with transaction log level Service:

Logs the start and the end of calls to a service operation (service interface). For example, calls to SOAP, SAPRFC, or HTTP operations.

All other logs in the transaction log will be ignored.

Service must at least have transaction log level Service.
IO

Collects everything that has been logged to the transaction log with transaction log level IOExternal and IOInternal:

Logs calls of adapters that communicate with external systems like SAP, SQL, SOAP, etc. For instance, the SQL queries that are sent to the database will be logged as well. Calls via the file system and system adapter are excluded.

Logs also calls of adapters to internal (local) resources (file system adapter and system adapter).

Service must have transaction log level IOExternal or IOInternal.

The higher the collection level the more information will be collected and the more data will be stored in the database of Scheer PAS Process Mining. If you do not need to analyze your processes and services down to all IO operations, it is sufficient to set your collection level to e.g. Service to take load of your database server.

However, in case you need to analyze a process or service further down than the collected data allows, you could easily upload the corresponding transaction logs manually with a higher collection level (given that the transaction log level of the service allows that).

But keep the following in mind: If you manually upload a transaction log of a service with collection level e.g. IO whose data has already been collected with collection log level e.g. Service, the already collected data will be doubled. For these cases, we recommend to distinct the manually uploaded logs by e.g. a different host. Otherwise your process or service statistics could get distorted.
