Business Processes Inventory
This option displays the list of Business Processes defined in WOCU in the selected Realm.
Business Process Inventory Fields
Type
The type field makes it easier for the user to identify the type of item within the inventory.
Business Process Hosts (BP Hosts)
Business Process Hosts (BP Hosts), i.e. logical hosts, are identified with the icon of the house framed in a circle.
Business Process Services (BP Services)
Business Process Services (BP Services) are identified by the icon of the intersecting arrows framed in a circle.
Note
Placing the cursor over the icons will display a text reminding you of the type of item (BP Hosts / BP Service).
Name
The Business Process Name differentiates the Business Process from the rest and is determined by the value of the Display name attribute, freely configurable if you have the appropriate permissions.
Clicking on the name of the Business Process will take you to its Detail View.
Impact
This is a configurable attribute that shows the user the importance or significance of that Business Process with respect to the rest. The impact is represented using 0 to 5 stars, with 0 being the least vital and 5 being the most critical.
None: 0 stars
Low : 1 star
Medium: 2 stars
High: 3 stars
Very High: 4 estrellas
Critical: 5 stars
You can obtain the Impact value by placing the cursor on the corresponding row of the Impact field.
Attention
The Impact value of a Host may vary when it is part of one or more Business Processes. More information can be found in: Impact Value (Impact) inherited in Business Processes.
Properties
This field displays the icons of the actions applied to the Business Process.
Status
This field collects the value of the State calculated by WOCU for this Business Process, according to the constituent elements (Hosts and Services) on which the Business Process itself depends.
Business Rule Definition
In this field is the Business Rule that shapes the Business Process Host or Service. This rule determines which Assets are part of it based on which criteria WOCU will determine its Status.
Exportation of Business Process Inventory Data
Although WOCU-Monitoring provides a multitude of functions for data management, metrics, graphics, etc., at some point, the use of other external tools may be required to handle such information. To address this, the export function is integrated, which facilitates downloading inventory data to a file on the hard disk for processing or later use.
The two buttons next to the Search bar, CSV and JSON, facilitate the export of data in both formats:
CSV
Clicking on the respective button will open a new modal for the selection and marking of parameters to export based on the user’s criteria. The available options are:
Host Name (Mandatory)
Host Display Name (Mandatory)
Host Address (Mandatory
Realm Name (Mandatory)
Type”

Business Rule
Once the selection is confirmed, the download of a file in CSV (Comma Separated Value) format begins. This format is very simple, organizing columns with a separator (semicolon ‘;’) and rows with a line break.
JSON
This option follows the same process as the previous case but initiates the download of a file in JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format. JSON is a lightweight data interchange format that can be read by any programming language, making it suitable for exchanging information between different technologies.
In both options, the system will provide the option to select the directory to download and store the generated inventory file and assign an alternative name to it.
