More bogus use of business process
Earlier this month, my partner commented on the bogus use of the BP in BPEL. Today, I stumbled across the nattily titled ‘BPEL Tracking for Tivoli Monitoring for Transaction Performance’ (TMTP) over at IBM’s alphaWorks emerging technologies site. Whilst I don’t question the potential value of correlating the progress of web services-based BPEL orchestrations with the underlying IT infrastructure, I think IBM is overstating the case when it claims that BPEL Tracking for TMTP provides “seamless correlation of the business process execution to the information technology (IT) transaction flow”. Replace “business process” with “integration process” and then I think IBM’s claim is easier to justify.
