Systems and methods for monitoring business processes of enterprise applications

A method for monitoring a business process of an enterprise application, comprising:

• extracting data relating to the business process from the enterprise application;
• storing the data in a first database in a format substantially similar to a format used by the enterprise application to store the data;
• extracting the data from the first database;
• converting the data to a second format;
• storing the data in the second format to a second database;
• creating a business process rule relating to the business process;
• executing the business process rule against the second database;
• and
• creating and displaying a report based on a result of the execution.

A method for monitoring user activity of enterprise applications, comprising:

• extracting a first user, a first user role, and a first user permission from a first enterprise application;
• storing the first user, the first user role, and the first user permission in a first database in a format substantially similar to a format used by the first enterprise application to store the data;
• extracting the first user, the first user role, and the first user permission from the first database;
• mapping the first user role to a first functional role and the first user permission to a first effective right;
• storing the first user, a first role mapping to the first functional role, and a first effective right mapping to the first effective right to a second database;
• creating a business process rule relating the first functional role and the first effective right;
• executing the business process rule against the second database;
• and
• creating and displaying a report based on a result of the execution.

A method for monitoring business transactions of enterprise applications, comprising:

• extracting business transaction data from an enterprise application;
• storing the business transaction data in a first database in a format substantially similar to a format used by the enterprise application to store the data;
• extracting the business transaction data from the first database;
• converting the business transaction data to a second format;
• storing the business transaction data in the second format to a second database;
• creating a business process rule relating to the business transaction;
• executing the business process rule against the second database;
• and
• creating and displaying a report based on a result of the execution.

A method for detecting false positives when monitoring a first business process and a second business process of an enterprise application, comprising:

• extracting first business process data and second business process data from the enterprise application;
• storing the first business process data and the second business process data in a first database in a format substantially similar to a format used by the enterprise application to store the data;
• extracting the first business process data and the second business process data from the first database;
• converting the first business process data and the second business process data to a second format;
• storing the first business process data and the second business process data in the second format to a second database;
• creating a business process rule relating to the first business process data;
• converting the business process rule to a query;
• executing the query against the second database;
• if the query results in a violation of the business process rule, comparing the violation to the second business process data;
• and
• if the comparing the violation to the second business process data shows that the violation is not a business process problem, not reporting the violation.
