Managing Ensemble Productions - InterSystems Documentation

What to Manage
At far right, the title bar provides a Namespace drop-down list that you can use to switch to a different Ensemble namespace.
There is also a Go to drop-down list that you can use to return to previously visited pages in the Ensemble Management
Portal or System Management Portal.
To the right and below the title bar, the Business Metrics page displays a table that lists all the business metrics associated
with productions in the currently active namespace.
To the right of each entry in the Business Metrics table is a Properties command to display the [Ensemble] > [Business
Metrics] > [Business Metric Properties] page. Below the title bar and to the right of the main menu, a line of text displays:
• Contents of Business Metric Cache for myMetric:
Where myMetric is the business metric whose Properties command you clicked on the previous page.
Beneath this introductory text is a table, with the following columns from left to right:
• Instance — In the typical case, there is a single instance for the business metric, so the Instance column contains the
number 1, and can be ignored.
If the business metric defines multiple instances, the Instance column lists the name of the instance that contains the
values shown in columns to the right. The table lists instances in the order in which the business metric class code
defines them.
• Property — The name of a business metric property. The table lists each property in the business metric class in
alphabetical order by property name. If the business metric defines multiple instances, the table lists the properties for
the first instance, then the properties for the second instance, and so on.
• Value — The current value of the property. The values shown reside in the business metric cache. If a property has no
value or is an empty text string, the cell is blank.
If the values are actively changing, the display refreshes itself at the time interval set by the business metric Call Interval.
You can also click the Refresh command in the browser to update the values in the display.
• History — In the typical case, the property is single-valued, so this cell is blank.
If the property is a multidimensional property with an automatic history, the History column lists a history of values
that the property has held over time. This comma-separated list that begins with the oldest cached value at the top left
of the History cell for that property; the History reads sequentially from left to right, and from top to bottom.
The bottom right value in the History cell for a property is the same as the current Value of that property.
3.6 Working with Business Rules
Each business rule is an independently defined piece of logic that can be invoked from a BPL business process or routing
