Aqualogic BPM tutorials

Hi,
I am new to AquaLogic BPM and so downloaded the ALBPMDesigner571_win.exe,
ALBPMStudio571_win.exe,
and
ALBPMEnterpriseWL571_win.exe files.
I already have Weblogic 8.1.5 installed on my laptop.
I am looking for documentation to guide me along the installation process and tutorials to learn the AquaLogic BPM tool.
Can anyone help me with the location of these tutorials?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chuck

Hi Guys
I have some issues about the configuration and architecture of the BPM system.
I've installed the following components:
- ALBPMStudio572_win.exe
- ALBPMEnterpriseWL572_win.exe
- I have WLP 9.2 installed also.
I created a sample project in Studio, exported it. I started BPM web applications, opened the process administrator console, created an engine which was a WL server, and successfully deployed the application made in studio.
Now I would like to access to the web UI where I can start my sample process, allow users to access theirs tasks, etc. If I correct I have to install the workspace extension to have this UI.
I started to install the following workspace extension:
- ALBPMWorkspaceExtensions_5-7_MP2_win.zip
which contains the Aqualogic Interaction Process 1.7 installer. After the installation I cannot access to the process administration console, I get the following error: "Request not gatewayed."
If I start the 'ptids\1.2\bin\service.bat' but I get the following error: table PTSERVERCONFIG does not exist. I cannot find anywhere the sql creating that table.
Could you help me out what's wrong on my side?
Thanks a lot

Differences between Oracle BPM and Aqualogic BPM 6.0

Hello,
Does anyone know where I can find information that spells out the differences between Aqualogic 6.0 and Oracle BPM (if there are any)? I've searched the Oracle sites, documentation sections, etc. and I cannot find a datasheet that spells out anything related to the differences between the two aside from the name change.
Thank you.

I thought that there no major differences between the versions, only changes in the skin, logo and an improvement in the engine, but I was wrong.
My production enviroment runs BPM Enterprise in version 6, in other words runs Aqualogic BPM Enterprise, not Oracle BPM Enterprise, but in the development enviroment I made the decision to use the version 10 (Oracle BPM Studio 10g), because I thought there were no considerable changes between versions.
So I could not make the deployment of the project in the enterprise version, the log reported that many processes and screenflows of the project were not found, then I tried to open the project that was done in version 10 in version 6 of the BPM Studio and then try to export the ".exp" to try to do the deployment again. When I opened the project in BPM Studio 6 some errors occurred, but no significant errors. I fixed the errors, export the project again and try to do the deployment in the enterprise version and the same problems as before still occurring.
The only solution I found was to make the project in BPM Studio 6.04 (Aqualogic). Now I can make the deployment of the project in the production environment.
Conclusion: always use the same version in BPM studio/enterprise. If you use Oracle BPM Studio in development enviroment, use Oracle BPM Enterprise for production enviroment. The same way if you use Aqualogic BPM Studio in development enviroment, use Aqualogic BPM Enterprise in the production enviroment.

Hi Guys You solved my problem. The working code is:
TaskInstanceManager taskInstanceManager = createTaskInstanceManager();
DataObject taskOutput = taskDetail.getOutputDataObject();
DataObject output = taskOutput.createDataObject(0);
output.setBoolean("Approved",getApprove());
taskOutput.set(0, output);
taskInstanceManager.complete(getTaskId(), taskOutput);

Integrating JSPs from external server into Aqualogic BPM

I need some help with the following issue I am facing with BEA Aqualogic BPM 5.7.
I was able to successfully implement the tutorial on ?Integrating Java Server Pages?.
I am stuck up with the action, using which, on submit of JSP embedded using screenflow, the JSP should return back and activity should be changed and taken to the next activity.
The way I did this is:
<form action="<f:postResults/>" method="post" name="mainform_1">
For this, I need to add a URI at the top of the URI.
<%@ taglib uri="http://fuego.com/jsp/ftl" prefix="f" %>
This works fine if I am using the JSP which is deployed on Fuego application server. But for the scenario, where I have a wrapper JSP embedded inside the screenflow and through the JSP(on Fuego) I make a call to JSP which is deployed on my application, it doesn't work and gives me exception.
My Application uses Tomcat 5.5.17.
Exception Stack Trace:
org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].[prd_dart].[jsp] 2006-12-07 17:18:50,953 ERROR [http-9000-Processor25] (StandardWrapperValve.java:253) - Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception

Transfer value from global automatic activity in Aqualogic BPM Suite

Hi, I am new to Aqualogic BMP suite and stuck with the following problem :
In aqualogic bpm suite, if we are setting some values to some variables in a global automatic activity in a process how to get those values back in some other activities (say an Interactive activity) in the same process or how to assign the values to some instance variables in the Begin activity ??
We have a scenario where we are creating some process instances from the Global Automatic activity using the following :
args["name"] = abc
create ProcessInstance using parameters = args
Now how to get the value "abc" and assign this value to an instance variable in the Begin activity(/access the value "abc" in an interactive activity)within the same process.
Thanks,
Suman.

Hi,
Let's say you have an Argument Set defined in your Begin activity called BeginIn. The arguments in this Argument Set can be "a", "b" and "c" of type String, Int and boolean accordingly.
If you want to use the ProcessInstance.create method, then you would need to have a PBL script like this one:
args[] = [ "a" : "SomeStringLiteral", "b" : 1234, "c" : true ];
ProcessInstance.create(processId : "/MyProcess", arguments : args, argumentsSetName : "BeginIn");

Two instances running in AquaLogic BPM Enterprise Server 6.0 Standalone

May i have two different instances running in AquaLogic BPM Enterprise Server 6.0 Standalone?
For example:
One instance should be the Homologation Enviroment, to make some tests.
And the second one should be the definitive Production Enviroment to publish the projects after passing from Homologation Enviroment.

Hi,
By "Homologation Environment" I'm guessing you might be referring to a QA or UAT environment.
If this is the case, you'd have a separate ALBPM Engine running processes in this environment and then use ANT tasks to then publish projects into the true Production environment.
Have them on separate ALBPM Engines is the best practice.
hth,
Dan

Book on Aqualogic BPM

Hi,
Does any one know if there is any book on Aqualogic BPM in the market.
Thanks

There's been some people that tried to convince me to write a book about ALBPM, but my current duties with the product itself prevents me from writing about it. :)
So far we have not seen or hear any book about the product.

Invoking a web-service through Aqualogic BPM

I have seen some posts regarding integration of web-services with BPM but could not solve my problem (as I am very new to BPM, just 2 days old :) ).
I am trying to integrate with the weather web-service whose WSDL is available at http://wsrp.bea.com/portal/boulder/weather.wsdl
This is what I did
1. Created a module in the Catalog
2. Right-clicked on the created module, Catalogue Component -> Web Service and provided the WSDL
3. Introspection was done and the External Resoures folder was also populated automatically.
4. I then created a global activity for invoking this web-service.
But the problem that I am facing is that what method should I write for the global activity that I have created so that the web-service can be invoked.
Please reply
Thanks.

You just need to call the Web service exposed method from the global activity.
if your module name is WS. The name of the webservice you catalogued is Weather. The service name which you can see when you expand the Weather. Then you will be able to view the exposed method.
WS.Weather.WeatherService.getWeather

Aqualogic BPM and Java Server Faces

Hi, I want to know if you can control the workflow from a jsf application outside the BPM environment, if not some way to integrate JSF and the BPM flow.
i'll appreciate your help.

Hi,
     There are a couple of ways to interface with a BPM Process deployed in ALBPM from an external Java based application:
     a) You can use PAPI (Process API) which is a Java API. You can write code to query instances and also process them through this API as far as they do not have Client components as part of the implementation (like forms). In the event that you have forms, you may need to use the WAPI or HTML API. You may also use PAPI-WS as an alternative for querying isntances.
     b) You can query the instances using PAPI or PAPI-WS and then use WAPI or the HTML API for processing instances in interactive activities that may have interactive components as part of their implementation (an interactive activity implemented with a screenflow rendering BPM Object Presentations or a JSP).
     Information about PAPI, can be found in the Enterprise distributions in the client/papi folder.
     Information about the HTML API can be found in the Studio On Line Help. You can look by "HTML" and find useful links.
     Hope this helps !

Is Aqualogic BPM a replacement for WLI ?

Hi all,
Until now I have worked with Workshop 8.x to build my processes.
Now I have downloaded Workshop 9.x and I cannot see anymore JPD in it. I wonder if Bea is dropping WLI for Aq BPM......
As in the subject: is Aq BPM a replacement for WLI ?
Thanks
Francesco

Hi Leonardo,
Let me re-iterate the basic rule of programming: "We never program for exceptions". The scenario that you are describing is very much valid and applied/followed in any orchestration process i.e. in no way the orchestration layer (BPM/ WLI/ BPEL etc.) access the data directly, but it is done through a Data layer or data services; however, one must take a business process in totality and not confuse it with a specfic use case.
Let me explain, there is a fundamental difference betwwen the process view as described for a traditional RUP or UML model (which has its origins in Object Oriented Analysis and Design- OOAD) and the BPM model. The UML model characterizes scenarios or use cases by primary actor(s) and all other systems are secondary. thus a flow in UML is the perspective of a single actor. In contrast, if one looks at a business process in totality, it might have diffenert actors altogether, and all might be primary. For example, consider a simplest business process for order processing in retail domain. Though the process is initiated by the Customer, the entire activity of order processing (taking order, checking inventory, shipping, collaborationg etc) might have the intervention of several actors (Say sales dept, sales manager, delivery manager, sales rep etc). To represent such a scenario in WLI, one may have to develop several JPD's or work-flows, each workflow concentrating on the part of a specific actor. The coupling or ordering between these workflows might or might not be apparant to the business user on a top level. As compared to this, the entire scenario can be represented in one single model of BPM. The individual activities/ responsibilities of each actor can be detailed out in subsequent sections.
Coming to you specific question, for that particular scenario, one might not want to go for BPM. Having said that, I will also specify that when looking at the entire business flow/ process, such processes are concidered as exceptions. The primary focus of any BPM solution is to automate the unavoidable human interventions that occur in any business process, and not plain orchestartion. Also, the worklist solution might help in a very limited user base, but is not able to handle the complex scenarios of user groups, multiple assignments, multiple roles for a user, which can easily be implemented in BPM (ALBPM organization chart)
Your point about BAM in WLI is also valid, but tell me , as a programmer, or an architect, would you like to re-invennt the wheel for doing something for which BPM is providing an out-of-the-box solution,or would you life to invest your effort in doing something else like process enhancement and modification. The point being, one can also write POJOs for maintaining BAM databases and generate reports, but as a developer commisioned to architect/ build a business process, why would one invest his/her energies in developing BAM like features?
