Defining the Data Used by Processes
HOPEX Data Governance allows you to make an inventory of processes that use the data you have modeled.
Thanks to the HOPEX integrated platform you can use this inventory in the HOPEX solutions specific to the description of the processes, such as HOPEX Business Architecture.
Creating the Inventory of Processes
Inventory of processes is carried out by the IA functional administrator.
Process Types
Value chain
A value stream is a collection of Value Stages that creates an outcome for a customer, who may be the ultimate customer or an internal end-user in the value stream.
Value streams reference only business data areas.
Organizational Process
An organizational process is a set of operations performed by org-units within a company or organization, to produce a result. It is depicted as a sequence of operations, controlled by events and conditions.
Organizational processes can reference business data or logical data areas.
System process
A system process is the executable representation of a process. It defines a sequence of tasks.
You can connect the following data areas to it:
• Application data area
• Relational Schemas
• NoSQL data area
• File structure

Creating a Process
To create a process with HOPEX Data Governance:
1. Click the navigation menu then Architecture > Data Usage.
2. In the edit area, click the Data-using Processes tab.
3. Select the type of process to be created, for example, System process.
4. Click the New button.
5. Enter the name of the process and an owner if necessary.
6. Click OK.
Connecting Data to a Process
The Data Manager has the ability to define the data that is used in the processes.
To connect logical data to a process you must create a data store on the process. The data store provides a mechanism for storing and consulting data through the process.
The data store references a data area that represents the structure of the data that the process needs.
Creating a data store
To create a data store on a process:
1. Open the properties of the process in question.
2. Click the Data Store page.
3. click New.
4. In the window that appears, select the data area referenced by the data store and click Next.
The new data store appears in the process properties.
Defining data access mode
In the data area properties you can define how to access the data (create, read, delete, etc.).
To access the properties of a data area:
1. In the process properties, click the data store icon then click Properties.
Properties of the corresponding data area appear.
2. Click the Components page.
3. Select the component and select the check boxes that correspond to the types of access in question (Creation, Read-only, etc.).
Connecting Data to a Content
The content corresponds to information exchanged between a process and its environment, via flows.
You can connect business or logical data to a flow; it is defined as components of the content.
