        Hi,

        Ive set a bam to monitor orders go through an orchestration. I created the pivot, exported it, bm.exe'd it & mapped details of the message payload onto bam activity definition. Ive given myself access to the views and can see the views on the bam portal.

        If I have had orders going through the system prior to deploying the bam view/activities will the data show on the Bam portal… 

        also does the data get updated automatically or do I have to 'run' something??

        also.. If I wanted to purge this data.. is this possible

        Many Thanks for any assistance

          Creating the views using bm.exe creates the tables, triggers, jobs and cubes necessary to surface your data up.  Until you apply the mapping from message/orchestration to activity, nothing will get stored in the BAM tables.

          You'll notice after running bm.exe that you've got 2 SSIS (or DTS if you're on SQL 2000) jobs that move data over to the analysis cubes (assuming you're not doing real time aggregation).  What you want to do is to schedule those jobs (BAM_AN_* populates the cube, BAM_DM_* does maintenance) to run on say, 5 minute intervals.  That's what you 'run' to get the cubes, and thus BAM Portal updated.

              Many thanks for prompt response.. If I have rubbish data in the cube.. can I purge it out?

                  I guess you could delete from the cube directly, or, use bm.exe to remove the view/activity and then add it back.  That would delete the cube and recreate it.  That's a fairly heavy-handed solution.
