Correlation and Sequencing of Audit Data

TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM uses a distributed, component-based application architecture. Related events can therefore be generated by different sources and at different times.

To account for this, events are logged with:

  • a timestamp that includes a standard UTC offset.
  • a correlation identifier, which is shared by all events that are part of the same service call.
  • correlatable data, such as a managed object ID.

TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM uses this information to correlate and sequence the events in the event database, so that the data can be meaningfully interpreted.
