Modeling Process Applications

What is a sound design practice for Business Automation Workflow?

  • A Turn off auto tracking whenever possible.
  • B Accessing the product tables using SQL such as "LSW_Task" is encouraged within the Process App since it performs better than the API's.
  • C Business objects bound to a coach can be large as long as the number of elements on the coach stay below 40 fields.
  • D Since the process variables are not frequently updated, it is fine to have large business objects on the Process variables level.
Explanation

Autotracking should be disabled unless it is required for reporting, because it captures performance data throughout process execution and IBM identifies the disabled default as better for performance. Internal product tables should not be accessed directly, and keeping business objects small reduces the data-transfer and persistence overhead of coach bindings and process variables.
