Implementing an analysis flow

The easiest way to get started with any analysis flow is to start from the closest pattern and adapt it. An analysis flow is a listener on a queue for a message, which causes the execution to start.

About this task

An analysis flow is comprised of three items:
  • A specific input message that is defined through the Analysis flow run (AnalysisRunParameter). The analysis flow reads this message and begins its processing.
  • Analytical execution is the primary body of an analysis flow. Normally, execution of an analytic engine is a WSDL-based service call.
  • After the analytics are complete, the analysis flow is responsible for transforming the output message to match the schema defined by the Analysis flow response (AnalysisRunDetails).
  • The computational component
    The provided analytical or statistical component for IBM Counter Fraud Management is SPSS® Modeler, and the model streams are deployed into the SPSS runtime C&DS server.
  • The rules component
    The provided rule engine is Operational Decision Management (ODM). Rules are used to both produce scores and to provide banded assessments based on scores. The rules can be used on individual transactions or records, or they can be used on profile indicators and other aggregated attributes.
