The Business Process Manager (BPM) Default Values Detail screen allows you to specify BPM processing parameters and valid values for the extraction frequency code, sort sequence code, and extract program type.

You can specify four event extraction frequency codes.  The four valid frequencies are multiple times per day, daily, weekly, and monthly.  The codes you specify for each of the extraction frequencies can be used on the Event Maintenance Detail screen to define the frequency with which event information is extracted.  Descriptions for each of the extraction frequency codes must first be defined in Reference File category N01.

You can also specify four sort sequence codes.  The four valid sort sequences are ascending, descending, absolute ascending, and absolute descending.  The codes you specify for each of the sort sequences can be used on the Event Maintenance Detail screen to define the order in which events of a specific type should be sorted on the New Events Detail screen.  Descriptions for each of the sort sequences must first be defined in Reference File category N06.

There are three valid extract program types:  query report, query file, and RPG or CL program.  The codes you specify for each of the sort sequences can be used on the Event Maintenance Detail screen to indicate the type of extract program that should be written for a specific type of event.  Descriptions for each of the extract types must first be defined in Reference File category N07.

FREQUENCY

Required.  The frequency, expressed in minutes, with which the BPM monitor should check the Event Master file for event extraction programs or queries that are due to be run.

STOP TIME

Required.  The time the BPM Asynchronous Monitor should automatically shut down each day.

MULTIPLE TIMES PER DAY

Required.  Enter the code to be used as the value for the extraction frequency of multiple times per day.  If this code is chosen when defining an event type on the Event Maintenance Detail screen, the BPM Asynchronous Monitor will check for new events of that type throughout the day at the user-defined interval specified for the event type.

DAILY

Required.  Enter the code to be used as the value for the daily extraction frequency.  If this code is chosen when defining an event type on the Event Maintenance Detail screen, the BPM Asynchronous Monitor program will check for new events of that type at the end of the day when the monitor automatically shuts down.

WEEKLY

Required.  Enter the code to be used as the value for the weekly extraction frequency.  If this code is chosen when defining an event type on the Event Maintenance Detail screen, the BPM Asynchronous Monitor will check for new events of that type each week at the end of the user-specified day when the monitor automatically shuts down.

Extract processing is performed on the same day each week, starting on the date specified as the first extract date.  For example, if the first extract date is April 6 (Thursday) and the weekly frequency is chosen, extract processing will occur when the BPM Asynchronous Monitor shuts down on each subsequent Thursday.

MONTHLY

Required.  Enter the code to be used as the value for the monthly extraction frequency.  If this code is chosen when defining an event type on the Event Maintenance Detail screen,  the BPM Asynchronous Monitor will check for new events of that type each month on a user-specified date at the end of the day when the monitor automatically shuts down.

ASCENDING

Required.  Enter the code to be used as the value for the ascending sort sequence.  If this code is chosen when defining an event type, information for events of that type will be displayed on the New Events Detail screen in ascending order, based on the control value for the event type.

DESCENDING

Required.  Enter the code to be used as the value for the descending sort sequence.  If this code is chosen when defining an event type, information for events of that type will be displayed on the New Events Detail screen in descending order, based on the control value for the event type.

ABSOLUTE ASCENDING

Required.  Enter the code to be used as the value for the absolute ascending sort sequence.  If this code is chosen when defining an event type, information for events of that type will be displayed on the New Events Detail screen in ascending order, based on the absolute value of the control value for the event type.

ABSOLUTE DESCENDING

Required.  Enter the code to be used as the value for the absolute descending sort sequence.  If this code is chosen when defining an event type, information for events of that type will be displayed on the New Events Detail screen in descending order, based on the absolute value of the control value for the event type.

QUERY REPORT

Required.  Enter the code to be used as the value for the query report extract type.  If this code is chosen when defining an event type, the information about the occurrence of an event of that type will be extracted by a query and printed on a report.  The information will not be routed to users online.

QUERY FILE

Required.  Enter the code to be used as the value for the query file extract type.  If this code is chosen when defining an event type, the information about the occurrence of an event of that type will be extracted by a query and routed to users online, based on the information entered on the Event Maintenance Dispatch screen.

PROGRAM

Required.  Enter the code to be used as the value for the program extract type.  If this code is chosen when defining an event type, the information about the occurrence of an event of that type will be extracted by an RPG program and routed to users online, based on the information entered on the Event Maintenance Dispatch screen.

AUTO ACTION CONTROL

Required.  The number of consecutive BPM event records to step through in the Event Manager conversation using the automatic action for the event type before giving the user the option of quitting.
