Business Process Tracking provides key insights to business stakeholders from your Logic Apps (Standard) implementation in an efficient and timely manner. Today, we are pleased to announce the General Availability of this capability, allowing customers to leverage in their production workloads.
In the following demo, we are updating a Business Process by creating stages and identifying key data properties that we want to track at a particular point in time. We will subsequently map our business process to a technical implementation. Once we have configured our business process we can deploy it to Azure. When the underlying Logic App workflows run, the key business data will be emitted to an Azure Data Explorer (ADX) instance where it can be visualized using our business process overlay.
Support for CI/CD
A key ask for customers has been support for Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD). This capability enables customers to make their Business Process Tracking solution portable and allows you to deploy your business processes across your enterprise landscape.
From a high-level perspective, you can think of the overall process to deploy business processes as:
To simplify this experience, we have provided the following features:
- An Export button on your deployed Business Process that will allow you to download ARM templates and YAML pipelines that you can use in your CI/CD process.
- Updated the Logic Apps Standard Task in the Azure DevOps Marketplace that will integrate the underlying tracking profiles and app settings into the related Logic App(s).
Product Documentation
We have updated our product documentation to provide detailed steps on how you can implement Business Process Tracking CI/CD.
Upcoming Roadmap
We do have some upcoming plans on how we can expand the use of Business Process Tracking in the following ways:
