Process Output

Business

Any instance of an information object which is produced by a Process Step as a result of its execution.

Process Outputs have an attribute of Process Output Type, which has two possible values:

• Transformed Output is the result which provides the "reason for existence" of the Process Step. If that output were no longer required then there would be no need for the Process Step in its current form. Typically a Transformed Output is either a Process Input to a subsequent Process Step or it represents the final product from a statistical business process.

• A Process Metric records information about the execution of a Process Step. For example, how long it took to complete execution of the Process Step and what percentage of records in the Process Input was updated by the Process Step to produce the Transformed Output.
