Prerequisites

you have set up SAP Workflow Management service. For more information, see the Set Up Workflow Management in Cloud Cockpit tutorial.

Design-to-Operate is a supply chain centric business process that enables companies to connect digitally to perfect reality across their product and asset lifecycle. This end-to-end business process consists of stages from design, planning, manufacturing, logistics, and operations.

In this tutorial, you can learn how to gain visibility on a sample Design-to-Operate business process using the process visibility capability. You are provided with a JSON file containing events and a zip file that contain the visibility scenario for Design-To-Operate business process using which you can easily try out the capabilities of process visibility.

  • Step 1

    In this step, you will download the sample Design-to-Operate visibility scenario and the respective events from GitHub to your local file system.

    1. Use the following link to access GitHub.

    2. Choose the DesignToOperateEvents.json file.

      GitHub

      This downloads the DesignToOperateEvents.json file to your local system.

    3. Now, from the GitHub, choose the DesigntoOperate.zip file.

      GitHub2

      This downloads the DesigntoOperate.zip file to your local system.

      You now have the two downloaded files in your local system with events and a scenario relevant to Design-to-Operate business process.

    In this step, you will be able to track the progress of the sample Design-To-Operate visibility scenario using the visual representation in the Process Workspace application.

    1. Open the Process Workspace tile from the Workflow Management dashboard.

      process workspace

    2. Choose the Design to Operate visibility scenario.

      D2O

      You can view the overview page for the Design to Operate visibility scenario as shown below. You can view information such as open orders, cycle time, open orders by product category, and so on.

      D2O

      You can customize the cards displayed on the overview page by modifying the visibility scenario in the Configure Visibility Scenarios application. For more information on creating and enhancing a scenario, see Create a Scenario documentation.
