Visibility of End-to-End Business Process in Case of Execution in Multiple Applications

It is observed that there are processes with multiple sub-processes which are being executed by multiple applications and their monitoring becomes difficult without creating a single end-to-end process. We propose to use transaction logs of these applications along with correlation IDs to identify and connect particular instances of activity execution to a particular transaction execution in the end-to-end process and to use this data for monitoring processes. By using data logs we avoid extensive core changes in multiple applications thus reduce cost, time and risks. When working with activities conducted in SAP we perform an RFC using JCo as connector to call a function module implemented in SAP which retrieves the data required for the processes monitoring.
