21.3 Metrics Web Service Examples

This section provides examples that show how to use the Metrics Web Service to gather workflow metrics. The examples assume that you have obtained a stub, as shown in Section 21.1.6, Obtaining the Remote Interface, and potentially wrapped it in an object that handles the potential error conditions, as described in Section 21.1.7, Metrics Configuration Settings.

21.3.1 General Examples

This example uses the KEY_APPROVAL_STATUS filter to compare the decision outcomes for a provisioning request type. This could be used to generate a pie chart for example. 

FilterConstants constants=new FilterConstants();
Map<MetricsFilter, Object> map = new HashMap<MetricsFilter, Object>();          
map.put(MetricsFilter.KEY_APPROVAL_STATUS,constants.getApprovalStatusApproved());
double accepted=stubWrapper.getFlowCount(processId,processVersion,map);
map.put(MetricsFilter.KEY_APPROVAL_STATUS,constants.getApprovalStatusDenied());
double denied=stubWrapper.getFlowCount(processId,processVersion,map);
map.put(MetricsFilter.KEY_APPROVAL_STATUS,constants.getApprovalStatusError());
double error=stubWrapper.getFlowCount(processId,processVersion,map);         map.put(MetricsFilter.KEY_APPROVAL_STATUS,constants.getApprovalStatusRetract());
double retracted=stubWrapper.getFlowCount(processId,processVersion,map);
map.put(MetricsFilter.KEY_APPROVAL_STATUS,
constants.getApprovalStatusRefused());
double refused = stubWrapper.getFlowCount(processId,
processVersion, map);

Additional filters may be specified by adding appropriate entries to the filter map. The following examples illustrate how you might add various types of filters.

Adding a start date filter

To add a start date filter (01/01/2006 < date < 02/01/2006):

Calendar startDate=Calendar.getInstance();
startDate.set(2006,0,1); 
Calendar endDate=Calendar.getInstance();
endDate.set(2006,1,1); 
map.put(MetricsFilter.KEY_L_START_TIME,startDate);
map.put(MetricsFilter.KEY_S_START_TIME,endDate)

Adding a completion date filter

To add a completion date filter (02/01/2005 < date <03/01/2005)

Calendar startDate=Calendar.getInstance();
startDate.set(2006,0,1); 
Calendar endDate=Calendar.getInstance();
endDate.set(2006,1,1); 
map.put(MetricsFilter.KEY_L_COMPLETION_TIME,startDate);
map.put(MetricsFilter.KEY_S_COMPLETION_TIME,endDate)

Narrowing requests to a specific initiator

To narrow down counted requests to a specific initiator 

map.put(MetricsFilter.KEY_INITIATOR,"cn=admin,ou=idmsample,o=novell");

Narrowing requests to a specific recipient

To narrow down counted requests to a specific recipient

map.put(MetricsFilter.KEY_RECIPIENT,"cn=admin,ou=idmsample,o=novell");

21.3.2 Other Examples

The following examples illustrate the use of various methods for retrieving workflow counts.

Retrieving decision counts for a team

This example describes how to retrieve the various decision outcomes of a team. The team's DN is required and can be obtained by using the getTeams() method: 

FilterConstants constants=new FilterConstants();
Map<MetricsFilter, Object> map = new HashMap<MetricsFilter, Object>();
map.put(MetricsFilter.KEY_ACTIVITY_END,
constants.getActivityApproved());
double accepted = stubWrapper.getTeamDecisionCount(processId,         processVersion, teamDN, map);
map.put(MetricsFilter.KEY_ACTIVITY_END,         constants.getActivityDenied());
double denied = stubWrapper.getTeamDecisionCount(processId,         processVersion, teamDN, map);
map.put(MetricsFilter.KEY_ACTIVITY_END,
         constants.getActivityReassigned());
double reassigned = stubWrapper.getTeamDecisionCount(processId,
         processVersion, teamDN, map);
map.put(MetricsFilter.KEY_ACTIVITY_END,
         constants.getActivityRefused());
double refused = stubWrapper.getTeamDecisionCount(processId,
         processVersion, teamDN, map);

Retrieving decision counts for requests where team members are recipients

This example describes how to retrieve the various decisions outcomes for requests for which members of the team act as recipients

FilterConstants constants = new FilterConstants();
Map<MetricsFilter, Object> map = new HashMap<MetricsFilter, Object>();
map.put(MetricsFilter.KEY_APPROVAL_STATUS,
constants.getActivityApproved());
double accepted = stubWrapper.getTeamRecipientCount(processId, processVersion, teamDN, map);
map.put(MetricsFilter.KEY_APPROVAL_STATUS,
constants.getApprovalStatusDenied());
double denied = stubWrapper.getTeamRecipientCount(processId, processVersion, teamDN, map);
map.put(MetricsFilter.KEY_APPROVAL_STATUS, constants.getApprovalStatusError());
double error = stubWrapper.getTeamRecipientCount(processId, processVersion, teamDN, map);
map.put(MetricsFilter.KEY_APPROVAL_STATUS, constants.getApprovalStatusError());
double retracted = stubWrapper.getTeamRecipientCount(processId, processVersion, teamDN, map);
map.put(MetricsFilter.KEY_APPROVAL_STATUS, constants.getApprovalStatusRefused());
double refused = stubWrapper.getTeamRecipientCount(processId, processVersion, teamDN, map);

Retrieving requests that have been claimed but not acted on

This example describes how to retrieve the requests started after 03/01/2006 that have been claimed but not acted upon.

Map<MetricsFilter, Object> map = new HashMap<MetricsFilter, Object>();
Calendar startDate=Calendar.getInstance();
startDate.set(2006,2,1); 
map.put(MetricsFilter.KEY_L_START_TIME,startDate);
MetricsResultset rset = stubWrapper.getLongestClaimed(processId, processVersion, map);

Retrieving the longest running requests started by a particular user

This example describes how to retrieve the longest running requests that have been started by initiator "cn=admin,ou=idmsample,o=novell";

Map<MetricsFilter, Object> map = new HashMap<MetricsFilter, Object>();
map.put(MetricsFilter.KEY_INITIATOR,""cn=admin,ou=idmsample,o=novell");
MetricsResultset rset = stubWrapper.getLongestRunning(processId, processVersion, map);

Retrieving activity inventory

This example describes the average inventory for users handling decision with activity id "managerApproval" between 01/01/2006 and 02/01/2006

Map<MetricsFilter, Object> map = new HashMap<MetricsFilter, Object>();
Calendar startDate=Calendar.getInstance();
startDate.set(2006,0,1); 
Calendar endDate=Calendar.getInstance();
endDate.set(2006,1,1); 
MetricsResultset rset = stubWrapper.getActivityInventory(processId, processVersion,"managerApproval", startDate, endDate, map );

Retrieving the Claimed Throughput and Inventory for a Team

This example describes the team's throughput and inventory over the time interval between 01/01/2006 and 02/01/2006

Map<MetricsFilter, Object> map = new HashMap<MetricsFilter, Object>();
Calendar startDate=Calendar.getInstance();
startDate.set(2006,0,1); 
Calendar endDate=Calendar.getInstance();
endDate.set(2006,1,1); 
double throughput = stubWrapper.getClaimedThroughputCalendarDays(processId, processVersion, startDate, endDate,teamDN, map);
double inventory = stubWrapper.getClaimedInventory(processId, processVersion, startDate, endDate, teamDN, map)
