BPM guidelines and conventions

Hi all,
I'm looking for a document that deals with guidelines and conventions regarding BPM.
It would be great if it contains common dos and donu2019ts.
Maybe some kind of naming convention is included as well.
Does anyone of you know of or has written such a document?
I browsed the SDN but couldn't find anything useful yet.
Any help on this topic is much appreciated.
Regards,
Bastian

Hi Bastian,
I guess the most comprehensive overview what is currently available here and there is the brand new "BPM knowledge center" which was recently featured in the BPM part of SDN:
At the very bottom there are also a set of blog entries from Sören Balko which are definitely worth a read.
Hope that helps,
Martin

Free Visual Composer session for BPM Users (and win an iPod!)

Hello to all BPM fans and users!
We would like to invite you to a free online session that focuses on creating UIs for your human tasks in BPM, using Visual Composer ! Forget all these Web Dynpro APIs and focus on what's really important - your user. With Visual Composer, you can seamlessly create UIs that use data coming from the BPM process and send data from the task to the process.
You can integrate a variety of UI elements and manipulate data inside the Visual Composer model, insert Flex elements, and also add Web Dynpro components and UI if you realize that something is still missing.
The first of several online sessions will take place on Thursday 3/6/2010 13:00 GMT+2 and you're all invited. Attend the session for a chance to win an iPod !
Weu2019ll have more of these sessions, focusing on other more advanced topics of Visual Composer. To receive the session connection data, please send us an email to visualcomposer @ sap.com and tell us a bit about yourself: your role in your company, the kind of projects you usually do, and the level of knowledge and experience you have with Visual Composer (if any).

BPM process and BRM rules process in same development component in NWDS

Hi All,
Is it possible to create the BPM process and BRM rules process in the same development component in NWDS?
I tried but whenever we create it,say,first ly for BPM,that is File-New-Project-Development Component-Process Composer
While once this development component is created I try to create rules composer in the same composer by right clicking on local development component as well as process composer but ther is no option of creating /calling rules composer/rules modeling.
Can you please guide me creating both BPM process and BRM rules composer/rules modeling in the same development component if its possible?
Thanks in advance

Open your project explorer and expand the BPM project you have created. Locate a folder named "Rules" in the Project Tree. Right-click on the Rules folder and select 'Create new rule'. You can model your rules such as rule-scripts here and use it in the BPM.
Note: These rules cannot be used outside the BPM Project.

How to pass value object to BPM process and access process returned data

Hi,
I am new to Oracle BPM studio and gone through the tutorial. I did not find anywhere how to orchestrate the java components or ejb components or web services in BPM process. if any one provide sample business process orchestered with java component or ejb component or webservice, it will be great. Or atleast provide steps to do that.
Thanks and Regards
Mahesh Babu

There is a tutorial available online.. But you can always catalogue web services and JARs files into the ALBPM..
Just create a new module inside the Catalogue and then right click on it to see Catalogue Component and then select what component u want to add to ALBPM and then follows the steps of adding that component from your local machine and introspecting it..
If it is successful, then all the web-service methods or the JAR file methods would be catalogued into ALBPM..
You can put the WSDL address in the space provided for Web Services.. If password is required that too can be put..
Another way is to create a component in External Resources and then Cataloguing it...

PI 7.31 Dual Stack Using BPM/BRM and ccBPM

Hello,
My client has decided to use SAP PI 7.31, because we have many ccBPM solutions, being used a long time, the idea is install the Dual Stack solution and keep using the ccBPM, at least for while.
But for the new integration solutions, we would like to use the AEX(Local AEX-Based) and connect to BPM and BRM, and maybe migrate the old solutions when possible.
Is it possible, use the both solutions( AEX/BPM/BRM and ccBPM) ? In this case, we will have all the benefits and great perfomance
when using the AEX/BPM/BRM(Local AEX-Based) solution, that we have in the single stack ?
Best regards,
Dylon.

Hi, vishal jain.
Thank you! Checking your link, we will probably choose the third case:
If PI is installed as dual-stack, then PO, PI and BPM/BRM, will have to be installed with different SIDs. PI on one SID and BPM/BRM on a different SID.
But the question remains... in this case is possible to use ccBPM and BPM/BRM, ok ?
And when using the BPM/BRPM, how is the performance and benefits ?
Are the same when using single stack solution ?
Best regards!

BPM Composer and workspace login using OID

I have configured my weblogic to use OID for user and roles management. I am able to login as me when I access weblogic console and em (I am a member of administrator group). When I tried to login to BPM Composer and workspace, I have to login as weblogic user (the user from weblogic embedded ldap from my install). How to configure the BPM composer and workspace to use OID that I've configured in WLS?
Thanks.

Never mind. I solved this problem. Just need to ensure all the authenticator control flag set to SUFFICIENT.

IDOC --BPM--IDOC AND FILE

Hi Experts,
My scenario is idoc to idoc and file through BPM.
so I hve one integration process and 2 receiver.The prob is frm IP it is pointing to only file not to IDOC
1) 1 sender agreement
2) 3 receiver determination
3) 3 interface determination
please help me out..

Why are you using BPM for this?it is not good design.
If you want to still use bpm then
1)1 receive step,
2)2 transformations steps(if or are executing Operation mapping in IP).
3)2 send steps.
check your BPM design and monitor Integration process work flow.

SAP XI BPM Performance and statistics

Hello all,
I am currently working on an integration using the BPM process within XI. During our initial testing, we noticed that, when it comes to the BPM process, XI takes too long to process a message. The actual size of the payload is really small and there is not much to the BPM process.
For example, I create one BPM process that takes a message and splits the message into separate documents for each target application and pass it on to another BPM process. The second process takes the message and changes its format to what is expected by the receiving application. It calls the target system and waits for a response.
Sender     Recv'r     Begin       End        End - Begin
SAPPRG     Split     11:29:46 11:31:01 74.810089
Split     Route     11:35:11 11:35:17 6.312764
Split     Route     11:35:28 11:35:40 12.021294
Route     DW     11:35:49 11:35:59 10.71562
Route     MPR     11:35:50 11:36:00 9.579952
DW     Route     11:35:59 11:35:59 0.50343
MPR     Route     11:35:59 11:36:00 0.485403
     Total                0:06:14 1.907142533
We also noticed some gaps b/w a message been send and receive steps within XI. I would like to know if there is any statistics on XI performance when it comes to processing messages within the BPM process and/or some documentation on how to improve performance using BPM.
Please, advise
Thanks..

Hi,
Checklist to use BPM-
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/3bf550d4-0201-0010-b2ae-8569d193124e
Also refer this Performance tuning guide-
https://websmp106.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000592892005E.PDF
If you are using Correlation etc, then try to use Local Correlation. SO that you can avoid the scope of the correlation to the entire process. By default it will be for entire process. Even you can make use Block step and try to group related steps and give the scope of the steps for the block.
Hope this helps,

Oracle BPM Workspace and IE 11 Compatibility issues

Hi all,
I am using Oracle BPM 10g and when I use IE 9 (till IE 11) or firefox latest versions , chrome,etc.. I get a pop-up with the title "execution" and unable to close the pop-up as well.
Can you please suggest if there is some configurations I should look into?
However, the strange thing is when I enable "Compatibility view settings" in IE 9 and higher, there are no issues seen and the workspace is rendered as expected.
Kindly help.
Thanks and Regards,
Alice

Hi Alice,
Not the answer you were looking for, but here is the compatibility matrix for Oracle BPM 10g.
Oracle BPM Interoperability Matrix
Looks like IE 9 is not supported for some reason, but versions other versions of IE and Firefox are. You might have to reach out to Customer Support.

Diff Between Oracle BPM Studio and Oracle BPEL Process Manager

1)What is the difference between Oracle BPM Studio and Oracle BPEL Process Manager?
2)What is the connection between Oracle BPM Studio and Oracle BPEL Process Manager?

Hi,
As of today you should install SOA Suite 11g
Fr this you will need to install Database (for development you can use XE)
Run RCU utility to crete DB schemas for SOA Suite.
Install Weblogic server
Install SOA Suite as an option to Weblogic
Create SOA Domain.
It is physically possible to do it in 2GB but is far better on 3 - 4GB
You can consider installing DB on different machine.

What is the guideline and/or best practice for EMC setup on ASM?

We are going to use EMC CX4-480 for ASM storage on RAC. What is the guideline and best practice for EMC setup on ASM?
Thanks for the advice!

Probably a poor choice of words. Sorry.
So basically, I have gotten further, but I just noticed related problem.
I'm using the WebServices(WS) 1.0. I insert an account, then, on a separate WS call, I insert my contacts for the account. I include the AccountID, and a user defined key from the Account when creating the Contact.
When I look at my Contact on the CRMOD web page, it shows the appropriate links back to the Account. But when I look at my Account on the CRMOD web page, it shows no Contacts.
So when I say workflow or Best Practice, I was hoping for guidance on how to properly write my code to accomplish all of the necessary steps. As in this is how you insert an account with a contact(s) and it updates the appropriate IDs so that it shows up properly on the CRMOD web pages.
Based on the above, it looks like I need to, as the next step, take the ContactID and update the Account with it so that their is a bi-directional link.
I'm thinking there is a better way in doing this.
Here is my psuedocode:
AccountInsert()
AccountID = NewAcctRec
ContactInsert(NewAcctRec)
ContactID = NewContRec
AccountUpdate(NewContRec)
Thanks,

Difference between BPM, BRM, and BRF

Hi Experts,
I need your suggestion.
I am in a confution to learn Business Rules.
When I am searching for SAP Business Rules in net, i got Business Rules Management(BRM), Business Rules Framework(BRF) and Business Process Management(BPM).
My core module is SAP ABAP, and little bit working experience in WebDynpro ABAP.
What exactly the difference among these 3 modules i.e. BPM, BRM and BRF. What is the link among these 3 modules.
For my ABAP experience, any one suits. If it is which one is suitable and where can i find the exact material. What are all the tools required other than R/3.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Chandu V

Hi Chandu,
pls take a look at [last year's TechEd slides about BRM and BRFplus.|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/50a961f8-8dd7-2d10-8f9b-f20285870733] The slides are still valid.

BPM standalone and J2EE versions

What is the diffrence between BPM standalone and J2EE versions
and
What are the advantages of Using J2EE Version over standlone?
In configuration document it is mentioned that we need to deploy wlj2eedeployer.ear on weblogic server.
Why this deployment?
Thanks

Depending on your needs, the Engine can be deployed using two different implementation styles.
Standalone Oracle BPM Enterprise Engine
Oracle BPM can be deployed in a standalone environment running on a JVM. This is the original version of the Engine and has been around for 10 years.
The benefits of deploying processes to Enterprise Standalone are:
<li> It does not require an application server J2EE container to run. This means a lower cost of entry if you do not already own WebLogic or WebSphere J2EE application servers.
<li> It is simple to install and administer.
Enterprise Standalone uses a simple active/standby failover mechanism. When the active engine starts, it immediately registers in the Oracle BPM Directory that it is the primary engine. When the standby engine starts on another machine, it sees that another engine has already registered as the active server in the Oracle BPM Directory. Since the active engine is already up, the standby knows that it needs to ping the primary engine periodically to ensure it is still up. If the standby engine fails to get a response from the active engine, the standby notifies the Directory that it is now the active engine. When what was previously the active primary engine restarts, it notifies the Directory that it has restarted, sees that another server is now the primary and then starts as the secondary.
J2EE Application Server Oracle BPM Enterprise Engine
Oracle BPM Enterprise engines can also run on a J2EE application server within WebLogic and WebSphere containers.
Oracle BPM Engines running on a J2EE Application Server support active clustering. This means that as loads increase over time, new nodes can be added making the environment more scalable over time.
With the J2EE Application Server environment automatic failover is automatically provided across nodes.
Finally, in answer to your last question - the deployed wlj2eedeployer.ear is useful because this lets you stop and start the Engine and deploy projects from the simple (ok - somewhat simple) Oracle BPM Process Administrator tool.
Hope this helps,
Dan

How to internationalize BPM Notifications and the User Interfaces ?

Hi masters.
Could anyone say me the better way to internationalize, translate the texts of the BPM Notifications and Adobe Forms and WebDynpro user interfaces ?

Hi Lehcim,
Have a look at the src\bpmn folder of your process. For example if your process is called demoprocess, you'll find demoprocess.bpmn.xlf file there.
If you open that file it should be opened with the S2X editor. Have a look at the Resource Text Tab, you'll find all the texts of your process there. That means e.g. Activity names etc. but also the Texts you have used in your Notification activities.
Internationalisation works now like the aforementioned WebDynpro internationalisation.
In short terms: you copy the xlf file, add the iso language code (e.b. demoprocess.bpmn_de.xlf), then open the new xlf file and translate the texts.
Just post again if my explanation wasn't clear enough.
Cheers, Marcel
