BAM - Business Activity Monitoring
What is “BAM”?
• Define probes in your process
• Record on a regular basis
• Analyze… and improve
Leverage “BAM” information
• Add extra information in your project script
• Starting Event, Ending Event or Duration
• Half-structured information stored securely
and automatically in Cloud Factory
Download CSV
• Events are stored for 3 months (rolling)
• Only available with “Officer Role”
• Reuse in your preferred Analytics Tool

Development Phases
Declaration Phase: declaration of the
entities that Desktop Agent has to monitor
Workflow Design And Script
Generation Phase: Define business logic
& development of the automation scripts

INTERNAL
Technology choice
 WEB: Web application running in a Web browser
(Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox)
 WIN: Windows Desktop application (Win32 or
WinForms)
 UIAutomation: Other desktop applications
(WPF, Silverlight, QT, etc.) can also be used for
WIN applications (Win32 or WinForms)
 HLLAPI: Desktop mainframe application running in
an HLLAPI-compatible emulator (Attachmate, etc.)
 SWG: Desktop Java application (AWT, Swing,
custom classes, etc.)
Different Type of Desktop Application Technology

17
INTERNAL
Declaration
Application capture
 Application
 Any EXE application running on the desktop with
user interface (UI). Includes the following
technologies: Windows, Java, Browser based
Application.
 Page
– Each individual view of the application can be
define as Page
 A subpage is a subtree of the current DOM
structure.
 Item
– Each individual control of a page can be defined
as an item such as Button, Input field

Surface Automation / OCR Support (Optical Character Recognition)
Surface Automation using OCR
• Automation of UI w/o DOMs or APIs
• For non-accessible UIs (Flash, RDPs…)
Language support
• Three languages (English, French, German)
• One language per recognition call
PUI8 BES PUI8, BES
RECOGNITION
This gives the content
DETECTION
This tells where the text areas are
located on the screen

Activities
Define
Context
• Define
Sequence of
activities.
• Context : Data
structure to
store data. It
can contains
Folder and
Items.
• Right Side

be used to
rename
Activities and
provide
input/output

INTERNAL
Asynchronous Loop:
• Start loop activity: the starting of the loop
• Loop next activity: the limit of the loop
• Exit loop activity: the condition that
allows to exit the loop
Asynchronous Loop

Switch Output
Switch Output: predictable branch in the workflow.

24
INTERNAL
Reuse step
Drag and drop a step from a first workflow (scLauncher) to the second workflow (scSimpleScenario)

26
INTERNAL
 Build : Build to
generate code
respective to workflow
sequence.
Build & Code Generation
Build Workflow
Javascript code
The Javascript code is generated from
a workflow
• Changes/Iterations
• Change the way code is grouped in Steps
• Change the step name
• Create a sub flowcharts : Only for visual organisation of
the workflow. The code is the same as without sub
flowcharts
• Set blocks as Scenario starter
• By the user with menu item
• By a wait event of the monitored application: when a first bloc
is not a step or contains a wait event

27
INTERNAL
Code Generation
Workflow  Link  Code
• Workflow to Code
1) Right click on the Workflow
PageActivity or Activity
2) Choose Goto Code
1) Right click on the Workflow generated GUID code
2) Chose Go to workflow

28
INTERNAL
Merge Tool
Code modification
• Code can be modified manually
• Workflow modifications are generated only after setting a Merger tool
• Managing the merge between Manual and generated code
• Merge requires a third party 3-Ways Merger tool : KDiff3, BeyondCompare, etc…
• Merger settings : StudiofilesettingsWorkflow
• Automatic merge is performed if possible, manual merge is required otherwise
• Exclude Workflow  disable Code generation

automation sequence and
application, page and item
recognition
