Correlation and Sequencing of Audit Data

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

To deal with events being generated by different sources and at different times, 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 BPM Enterprise uses this information to correlate and sequence the events in the event database, so that the data can be meaningfully interpreted.
