Automation Testing of Oracle BPM

Hi,
I have just two queries-
1. Is automation testing of ORACLE BPM possible? If yes, which Automation Testing tool is suitable for Oracle BPM Automation Testing?
2. What percentage(approx) of the BPM functionalities can be automated?
Thanks,
Ritoban Mukhopadhyay

Hi Jai,
What we are using is Oracle ATS (Application Test Suite) for both functional and load testing (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/oem/app-test/etest-101273.html) .
Of course there are a lot of open source tools that you can also use such as JMeter.

Forms 10g automated testing

Hi,
We need to perform some automated tests on Oracle Forms 10g. To perform it, we have to recognize form elements.
Is there any way for C++ application to get information about forms contents(text fields' names, comboboxes' names, etc.) in Oracle Forms 10g?

Hi
Not sure it will be of use but Oracle provide the Forms API (either C Library or Java) to enable you to query / update properties on Forms. However, this is only relevant to source code, not an executing Forms.
Regarding automated testing, we investigated methods of doing this, and concluded that we would have to purchase a third party tool.
The two that I am aware of (that support capturing and replaying "scripts" in Forms) are provided by Mercury and Compuware.

Automated testing tools for Oracle Finanacials

Hello all,
We are planning an upgrade to R12 and in order to save time we are wondering if an Oracle or 3rd party tool exists to input user data in various Oracle products - AP,PO, GL. The problem lies in getting our users to find time to input data into the forms every time we do an upgrade or large patch. If it was automated, we could run the automated scripts and the users could checkthe output. I've noticed one posting on HP's LoadRunner, but is this an option. I don't know what the cost would be, but we're hoping it is not too prohibitive. Does anybody use or know of tools available?
Thanks,
Alex.

Kindly suggest oracle automation testing tools supporting oracle 10g forms

Hi,
We would like to automate oracle 10g forms in our company. kindly suggest oracle automation tools supporting oracle 10g forms other than OATS.
If only OATS tool is available in Oracle, please suggest user guide for OATS.
Regards,
Sairam

Hi Sairam,
You can find OATS docs in OATS installation package itself. You can find separate pdf files for each OATS product(OpenScript Programmer Preference, OFT, OLT, OTM, Administrator etc).

Is Oracle BPM for only modeling process?

Hi
Is Oracle BPM only for Business process modeling? I know there is a PAPI java library to implement User Interface.
But i geuss it takes a lot of Time. We are planning to use Oracle BPM process and Stuts for front end.
Thanks

Hi,
Oracle BPM is similar to a pure-play process modeling tool in that it supports process modeling, documentation and simulation.
Here's where Oracle BPM and process modeling tools differ. Oracle BPM was built and architected from the beginning as a full lifecycle Business Process Management (BPM) tool. This means that it is a complete solution with modeling, logic / business rules, end user interface, runtime and BAM capabilities built into it from the beginning 10 years ago.
Go here http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13154_01/bpm/docs65/index.html and click on "Oracle BPM data-sheet" for a marketing take on it's capabilities. If you'd like a 3 hour hands-on tour through it, click on the "Oracle BPM Tutorial for new users" link. If you do the tutorial, be sure to ping this forum if you get confused - we'll be glad to help.
Undoubtedly, there's more than you wanted to know in this thread. At a minimum, take a look at the "End User Interface" paragraph below for my take on your Struts question. The nice thing about the forum is that others are sure to disagree with my recommendation and you'll get the benefit from their experience as well.
Modeling
Oracle BPM was built with one process modeling diagram. It is simple, BPMN based and quick to learn. It supports the roles and the activities I need to build robust processes. I use the same diagram to explain the process to executives, managers, IT, SME and business analysts. As a business analyst, the tool is not complicated and can be learned in just a couple hours. As a developer, I use the same modeling diagram, but the tool profile I use is a robust IDE that lets me create the implementation details (objects, logic, integration to services and local testing). If I make a change as a developer, the business analyst can see the change if they look at the same process artifact (typically shared through a source control repository).
Logic and Integration
Process modeling tools are not BPM tools so they are not intended to support the process logic or integration to your existing IT assets needed to execute a business process.
Oracle BPM can use a service bus as the intermediary layer to expose existing IT assets. Alternatively, Oracle BPM can expose and consume components directly if you do not have a service bus. These IT assets are stored in Oracle BPM's catalog for reuse by developers creating the logic needed inside Oracle BPM automated processes.
As a developer using Oracle BPM, I use templates and drag and drop to create much of my logic. Once I catalog an object it can be reused across multiple projects either by using the Project Dependency option or by importing the artifacts. I test my logic either by using the method editor debugger or at the process level. As I create objects used in my logic using Oracle BPM, I inherit attributes provided by introspected components. This means that if you have an ERP system object with 138 attributes, you do not have to rebuild this object from scratch in Oracle BPM.

End User Interface
Before deciding to create your own Struts based UI, examine the capabilities of the OOTB Oracle BPM Workspace. Others on this forum will disagree with this, but rebuilding the functionality of the Oracle BPM Workspace will take quite a bit of time and will require an in-depth knowledge of PAPI (Oracle BPM's API into the runtime Engine) knowledge.
End user interface screens and complex end user interaction with a variety of screens can be built inside the Oracle BPM toolset's WYSIWYG editor. The forms use the attributes of the objects described in the previous paragraph. There's a common misconception that you cannot have both client side and server side components invoked from the UI. This is simply not the case. You can use both client side and server side components to do cross field validation or provide lists for valid values.
If you'd been are a JSP shop you'd have had the flexibility to instead create your forms using the Oracle BPM tag library instead of the forms editor provided.
Since you're a Struts shop, your presentations will be exposed as "External" using Interactive activity Screenflows.
The forms you build are automatically presented in the OOTB Workspace.
Runtime
End users interact with the processes at runtime using an OOTB Workspace. End users are given various roles. When they log into the Workspace, the end users only see the work item instances that are in the roles that they have been assigned. There is an Engine that stores the work item instance information as it flows through the processes at runtime. The Engine is like a traffic cop, ensuring that the right work item instance goes to the right person in the right activity at the right time.
Hope this helps,
Dan

Forms and Reports: Automated Test tools - functionality AND performance

All,
I'm looking to get a few leads on an automated test tools that may be used to validate Oracle forms and reports (see my software configuration below). I'm looking for tools that can automate both functional tests and performance. By this I mean;
Functional Testing:
* Use of shortcut keys
* Navigation between fields
* Screen organisation (filed locations)
* Exercise forms validation (bad input values)
* Provide values to forms and simulate user commit, and go and verify database state is as expected
Performance Testing:
* carry out tests for fixed user load
* carry out tests for scaled step increase in user load
* automated collection of log files and metrics during test
So far I have:
http://www.neotys.com/
Thanks in advance for your response.
Mathew Butler
Configuration:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux x86-64 architecture v4.5 64 bit
Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 ( with patch 10.1.2.3 )
Oracle Developer Suite (Oracle Forms and Reports) V10.1.2.0.2 ( with patch 10.1.2.3 )
Oracle JInitiator 1.3.1.17 or later
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6

are there any tools for doing this activity like oracle recommended tools?
Your question is unclear. As IK mentioned, the only tool you need is a new version of Oracle Forms/Reports. Open your v10 modules in a v11 Builder and select Save. You now have a v11 module. Doing a "Compile All PL/SQL" before saving is a good idea, but not required. The Builders and utilites provided with the version 11 installation are the only supported tools for upgrading your application. If you are trying to do the conversion of many Forms files in a scripted manner, you can use the Forms compiler in a script. Generating new "X" files will also update the source modules (fmb, mmb, pll). See MyOracleSupport Note 955143.1
Also included in the installation in the Forms Migration Assistant. Although it is more useful to people coming from older versions, it can also be used to move from v10 to 11. It allows you to select more than one file at a time. Documentation for this utility can be found in the Forms Upgrade Guide.

Calling Oracle BPM Process Web Service from Oracle Service Bus

Hi
I am using Oracle Service Bus 10gR3.
I have developed simple BPM process through Oracle BPM studio 10.3.1.0.I then followed steps below
1. Create a Process.
2. Expose the Process as a Web Service.
3. Run the project. This starts the Process Execution Engine.
4. Create an ALSB External Resource of type Management Host.
5. Create a second ALSB External Resource for registration.
6. Register the End Point
Until this point everything is fine. Then I created one project through Oracle Service Bus console. Under that created WSDL, Proxy Service and Business Service Folders. I am using the web service created through BPM studio as teh Business Service in SB . I then created one proxy service to route the request to the Business Service.
Finally when I try to test the Proxy Service by launching test console, I get the
<con:fault xmlns:con="http://www.bea.com/wli/sb/context">
<con:errorCode>BEA-380001</con:errorCode>

<con:location>
<con:node>RouteNode1</con:node>
<con:path>response-pipeline</con:path>
</con:location>
</con:fault>
I also tried to debug through "Oracle Workshop for WebLogic Version 10.3 " . But I am not getting enough details as to why this is failing.
Please help me . Thanks In advance.
Thanks

Oracle BPM 11.1.1.5 Performance issues

Hi,
I have 2 Node Cluster of Oracle SOA 11.1.1.5 installed. Have a separate cluster for SOA/BPM, BAM, OSB, WSM. Here are the OS and Java versions
Java Vendor: HP
Java Version: 1.6.0.14
OS: HP-UX
OS Version: B.11.31
Running into an issue where Oracle BPM is performing very slow the task forms takes forever to come up and performing any actions takes too long to proceed som time it keeps timing out. I have over 100 SOA Process running plus some BPM Process but BMP Workspace application is running too slow as have customized tasks forms. But the same works a bit better in other instance which is non-clustered. Any idea what can be done on the server level to get around the performance issues.

After changing JVM settigns for soa cluster it's a bit better but still slow so wondering what other tweaks can be done on the JVM side. Here is what is for the SOA Cluster
USER_MEM_ARGS="-server -Xms12928m -Xmx12928m -XX:PermSize=3072m -Xmn3232m -XX:+SXTElimination -XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+ExplicitGCInvokesConcurrent -XX:-TraceClassLoading -XX:-TraceClassUnloading"
We are running multiple instances on the same boxes and the total RAM on the machine is 95 GB on each box which is being shared across 4 cluster environments. For now other 3 cluster environments have the SOA Cluster JVM setting as
USER_MEM_ARGS="-server -Xms4096m -Xmx4096m -XX:PermSize=1024m -Xmn1152m -XX:+SXTElimination -XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+ExplicitGCInvokesConcurrent -XX:-TraceClassLoading -XX:-TraceClassUnloading"
Any help on what else I can tweak or set in JVM to get a better performance.
Thanks

Correlation Problem with Oracle BPM 2.1.2

I have developed a BPEL process that invokes Axis web services and then wait an asynchronous message from the services, using pick with onMessage tag. Previously, I do my work with Oracle BPM 2.0.10 and designer 0.9.5, it works well. But now, I have used Oracle BPEM 2.1.2 and designer 0.9.10, my Axis web services can not send any asynchronous message to the process. What's the problem? Must I set some configuration with BPM 2.1.2 or change my original BPEL code?
This is a fragement of my BPEL code.
          <invoke name="invokeSubscriptionProxy" partnerLink="subcriptionProxy" operation="subscribeToProxy" inputVariable="input4SubscriptionProxy" outputVariable="output4SubscriptioProxy" portType="nsxml1:NotificationProxyPortType">
               <correlations>
                    <correlation set="correlationInteger" initiate="no" pattern="out"/>
               </correlations>
          </invoke>
          <pick name="pick4Subscribe2">
               <onMessage partnerLink="client" portType="tns:TestOrchestratingGeneratedGramProxy" operation="deliverNotificationFromProxy" variable="deliveredNotificationMessage">
                    <correlations>
                         <correlation set="correlationInteger" initiate="no"/>
                    </correlations>
                    <sequence>
                         <empty name="empty-2"/>
                    </sequence>
               </onMessage>
               <onAlarm for="'PT1H'">
                    <sequence>
                         <empty name="empty-2"/>
                    </sequence>
               </onAlarm>
          </pick>
When I edit this code with designer 0.9.10, it shows no error. I test my process by viewing BPEL console.
Please help me to correct this problem.
PS. I sure that my Axis Web servies work well.

Hi,
"my Axis web services can not send any asynchronous message to the process" --> means when you try to invoke an Axis Web services from a BPEL process, there are no callback message from the web services, right? Did you see any exception from either the console or BPEL server DOS window?

Rules of thumb for sizing an Oracle BPM 11g deployment

Anyone out there have some rules of thumb they are using to size out an environment for Oracle BPM 11g? I know processing power can vary widely for process complexity and amount of data floating around. Still, I get asked questions like how much processing power do I need for this solution? I have a current client looking at 2500+ potential human workflow users with 1000 concurrent at peak load. Short of running some performance test myself and extrapolating numbers I am at a loss. Hoping some others can chime in with some thoughts.

an update... my rule of thumb for 50 users has proven to be a bit high. Looks to be 30-40 per core when you split out the BPMN engine from other computing intensive processes such as the ESB. Without splitting up overall SOA/BPM functionality over multiple servers concurrent user counts of various technology really takes a hit.

Mapping LDAP Role in Building Your First Process with Oracle BPM 11g

I'm working on "Building Your First Process with Oracle BPM 11g" I'm at the end of step where assigns user for the requester. The problem is in identity lookup, "Realm" is empty for Remote_WLServer.
Servers are up and running. Demo user community has been loaded - I can see the list of users and groups in the administration server under myrealm. We haven't done much since SOA suite 11g installation. I'm probably the first one who uses this. I wonder we have a missing set up? Can you me what's missing? Appreciate your help in advance.

I get this error message when I clicked gear icon.
"Server exception is : Connection refused from server"
Here is the result of testing Remove_WLServer connection. Does this cause the issue?

Cannot establish connection.

I have installed JDeveloper 9i, 10g, and 11g in my laptop. SOA is installed on linux.

Business case to move from Oracle BPM 10.3g to BPM11g

We are a very large organisation doing our business process implementation using Oracle BPM 10.3g. Currently we are working on only 3 processes, but over next couple of years, we would have at least 10 LIVE processes. As an organisation, we are wondering if we should at all move to OBPM 11g or would it be better to move as early as possible.
As I understand, the migration from 10.3g to 11g would not be migration, but re-work of all the processes. Is this correct?
Or does Oracle have plans to come out with BPM 12g that would offer migration features from 10.3g?
Are there any good reasons why a large organisation like ours would benefit by moving to BPM 11g? If yes, what are these reasons?
Are these benefits good enough to scrap 1-2 years effort and BPM knowledge earned while developing solution on BPM 10.3g as BPM 11g looks architecturally quite different from 11g?
Or should our approach be to implement all our processes on 10.3g and then move onto 11g 2-3 years from now if the benefits are not significant?

Amit Goswami

Hi.
I'd like to add some comments here that might be useful.
As Mark already said, migration tools will be provided in 12 for transforming 10.3 projects. It is important to note that these tools will facilitate migration but will no accomplish a 100% automated transformation. One quick reason would be the support of BPMN (design and runtime) instead of XPDL. Some XPDL stuff may be represented in different ways in BPMN and you will have to choose which option is better for you.
So what I think is really important for any 10.3 customer is to start knowing and using the new platform. Some of the reasons would be:
- Each BPM project is different. Knowing about 11/12 will help you understand the specific situation of your project.
- Based on the above, you will be in good shape to understand migration procedures and impact as soon as documentation is ready.
- You may find that new processes you have to develop can take advantage of 11g features, so you will have the option of implementing them using the new version.
- Runtime platform may also be different. That will depend on you current environment (standalone for instance) which may be different from 11g. So it's not only about design patterns, but also runtime.
Again, BPM implementation is different, so for some customers it'd be better to wait until 12 to migrate their processes but others can start developing on 11g right now. In order to decide which is the best approach you need to know about the new platform. And Mark also mentioned one huge advantage: you can start with 11gPS4 right now knowing that the experience will help you a lot also for 12.
So my strong suggestion would be to take time to read docs, download the tool and implement some samples. You may even want to prototype some of your existing processes (or the new ones) in the tools and see how it goes.
Another tip I can suggest is to look for 10.3 guidelines to minimize migration. This doc have some suggestions for having an easier migration path in the future but most importantly provides information about how many 10.3 features are going to be 'mapped' into 12g, and I think it's going to be valuable information for you. The current version is quite outdated. Product Management intends to update it for next OOW.
Hope it helps.

Gustavo

Oracle BPM Java API - getting informations about process activities

Hi
I have a problem with Oracle BPM Java API, can someone help me?
I have a business process project deployed in Oracle SOA Suite and I need to get some informations of my process programatically via Java API.
Basically I need to get informations about process activities and the corresponding human tasks referenced by these activities.
I'm able to get the HumanTasks of my Business Catalog and also to get the Activities of my Process, but the relationship between them is null.
I did some tests, below a piece of code of my test:
IBPMServiceClient bpmServiceClient = BPMConnectionUtil.getBPMServiceClient();
IProcessMetadataService processMetadataService = bpmServiceClient.getProcessMetadataService();
IProcessModelService processModelService = bpmServiceClient.getProcessModelService();
List<ProcessMetadataSummary> processMetadataSummaryList =
processMetadataService.listProcessMetadataSummary(BPMConnectionUtil.getBPMContext(), "processNameOrId to find", "processName", "ASC");
if (processMetadataSummaryList == null || processMetadataSummaryList.size() == 0)
return;
ProcessMetadataSummary processMetadataSummary = null;
for (ProcessMetadataSummary summary: processMetadataSummaryList) {
if (summary.isIsDefaultRevision()) {
processMetadataSummary = summary;
break;
if (processMetadataSummary == null)
processMetadataSummary = processMetadataSummaryList.get(0);
IProcessModelPackage pack = processModelService.getProcessModel(BPMConnectionUtil.getBPMContext(), processMetadataSummary.getCompositeDN(), processMetadataSummary.getProcessName());
oracle.bpm.project.model.processes.Process process = pack.getProcessModel();
Sequence<UserTask> activities = process.getActivities(UserTask.class);
for (UserTask activity: activities) {
System.out.println("Human Task: " +activity.getHumanTask()); // <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<---------------------------- here is the problem. the human task is null, but my activity have a task associated
There is another way to get this information?
Thank's

Oracle BPM Composer and no ADF

Hi Everyone,
We are planning to use Oracle BPM as our BPM engine. But our organization doesn't support ADF. So could anyone help to answer the below questions. Thanks a lot for your time.
1) Can we use Oracle BPM Composer... Does Oracle BPM composer require extended ADF Domain?
2) Default BPM workspace can't be used. So we need to build our own workspace. Are they any predefined framework to build a MVC or any other java framework to build workspace.
3)Could anyone let me know the additional things we should take care in case we don't use ADF domain.
Thanks everyone for your time.

Oracle BPM Studio (JDeveloper) is used by developers to create processes, human tasks, the process instance payloads, the composite services used by the processes, complex transformations, business rules and the ADF UIs.
Composer is a business user oriented web based tool used by business analysts with similar capabilities. Using Composer, business people can create and maintain processes, define process instance payloads, human tasks, process payloads, business rules. Instead of creating ADF UIs, you create and test web forms using a web based UI web form designer tool that it comes with in 11.1.1.7. Because the forms built using Composer can only be viewed from the Workspace or WebCenter Spaces tools, and because you're not going to use the Workspace or WebCenter Spaces tools, you won't be able to use Composer to create your UIs.
You might want to rethink your decision to not use the Workspace or WebCenter Spaces tools, but because you're not going to use either one you will instead be building your forms using the form design tool of your choice.
Although I'd advise you against recreating it, you'll need to become comfortable using the different APIs Oracle BPM exposes if you're going to try to duplicate the Workspace and WebCenter Spaces tool functionality.
Here's the API JavaDoc and a few blogs that will give you some tips on getting started:
