A graphical user interface (GUI) displays a flow of activities of a
business process, including any portion thereof from which capture of
data is permitted. The GUI receives, in an operation, at least an
indication of a business process portion from which data is to be
captured ("sensor"), an identification of an endpoint to which captured
data is to be transferred, and a type of the endpoint which identifies
(through a mapping) a predetermined software. A sensor may be added any
number of times (through a single GUI or though multiple GUIs) by
repeatedly performing the operation. Also, a given sensor may be
associated with multiple endpoints. Computer(s) executing the business
process check whether or not a sensor is present, on execution of the
business process portion, and if present, then execute the corresponding
predetermined software(s) to transfer data from the sensor directly to
the respective endpoint(s).
