Managed Objects and Events
Managed objects are tracked by TIBCO BPM Enterprise in the runtime environment. Managed objects include process templates, process instances, work items, organization model entities, resources and TIBCO BPM Enterprise components.
Events happen to managed objects and must be recorded for logging and auditing purposes. For example:
- when a process template is created, deleted or updated.
- when a process instance starts, suspends, resumes or completes.
- when a work item is opened, closed, suspended, submitted or completed.
- when a resource is created, mapped to a group, updated or deleted.
An event records what happens to a managed object, when it happened, and the context that the event happened in.
The event format used by BPM is the TIBCO BPM Enterprise Event format.
Note:
You can configure whether TIBCO BPM Enterprise purges all process instance data when the instance completes, or whether it stores this information. See "Purging Processes through the Command Line Interface" in
TIBCO BPM Enterprise Administrator's Guide for more information.
