This chapter provides guidelines for improving performance of BAM reports and includes the
following topics:
• Understanding BAM reporting, page 55
• Planning and testing, page 57
• Reporting on intra-activity events, page 57
• Synchronizing the BAM database, page 57
• Designing high performance reports, page 60
Understanding BAM reporting
By default, BAM monitors process and queue data (process and activity durations, information
about performers, queue data, and started/finished date information) in the audit trail database
table. Designers use Process Builder to configure additional data (activity package data and process
variable data) to be written to the audit trail database table. Designers use TaskSpace to configure
BAM to monitor the activity package data and process variable data in the audit trail database table.
During runtime, the Content Server process engine writes audited activity package data and process
variable data to the audit trail database table upon completion of the containing activity (Figure
21, page 56).
