BPM Newbie

Hi Guys
I am a BPEL guy and just started working on BPM. Being a newbie in BPM field i have few queries which should be able to make me understand the diff between BPEL and BPEM.
1) We created Business Process in BPEL with WS Orchestration, Deployed on BPEL PM Server then invoked the BPEL process with java code. Is it same with BPM? Do we have separate BPM Engine / Server for BPM? Where it is deployed? How is it invoked?
2) Can we call/invoke one BPM process from another BPM process?
3) How to use business rules in BPM?
4) How do we use BPM process in actuall overall project deployment?
5) Can it call any ESB and BPEL process? or can we call a BPM process from ESB or BPEL?
6) Does it also have instances like BPEL? and its versions?
I may have asked some stupid questions here but i am just trying to know how it can help me in understanding the business modelling better.
Many Thanks

Do we have separate BPM Engine / Server for BPM? Where it is deployed? How is it invoked?There is the dedicate engine for BPM that can run on an application server like WLS, you just have to deploy your projects on the engine in order to have them available.
The processes can be started in may ways: using the workspace (web application that alllows users to interact with processes) running activities (applications) that start the processes, using webservices, using jms listenere and so on. I suggest you to look at the documentation for specific details.
2) Can we call/invoke one BPM process from another BPM process? Of course!
3) How to use business rules in BPM? Just prepare the rules and use them, for instance using business rule based transitions to control the flow of the process...
4) How do we use BPM process in actuall overall project deployment?It depends on your project
5) Can it call any ESB and BPEL process? or can we call a BPM process from ESB or BPEL?Sure with ESB, it's strongly integrated with it. I've no experience with BPEL integration but I know it can be done.
6) Does it also have instances like BPEL? and its versions?It has. Don't know if in BPEL it's the same...
You define a process and then you can run instances of that process. You can modify it and have different versions running on the engine... but it would be too long to discuss here and now.
I may have asked some stupid questions here but i am just trying to know how it can help me in understanding the business modelling better. No question is stupid :)
Hope that this helps.

BPM newbie configuration question

Hi,
I have modelled a simple process using the BPM modeller. The process is using abstract interfaces for receiving and sending information. Now I would like to configure the process. I have successfuly managed to import the process into the configuration builder. I don't want to use an integration scenario. Could anybody explain me how to map my abstract interfaces to concrete communication channels, since the interfaces don't appear in sender/receiver configuration?
Thank you and kind regards,
Heiko

Hi Heiko,
in the dialog to select interfaces the interface direction is preset as selection criteria in the upper section of the screen. To be able to see your abstract interfaces, delete this criteria and press search button. Then the list will contain all interfaces available for the system you have selected and you'll be able to use your abstract interfaces as inbound as well as outbound interface.
best regards
Christine

Newbie Video production synchronised with a tune (BPM/frame per beat)

Hello,
I wish to throw my audio track on a timeline, and have a grid allowing me to see the rythm/beats... that way I can just throw video sequences, trim and loop with help of the grid to be perfectly synchronised with the tune! do you see what I mean?? do U know anything that does that or close enough in final cut studio? or should I just use a precise BPM counter on my track and then put in the BPM value somewhere in program,
A lot of people adviced me to use that a converter found online To know how many frames per beat depending on the BPM, but surely a software must be able to dothat??? right?
Thanks for ur help.

You're better off doing this by ear and eye. It's pretty stunningly unlikely that the rhythm of your soundtrack can be described in an even number of 1/24th-of-a-second (or whatever your timebase is) frames. And if a particular beat is marked by something like a cymbal crash, it probably spans across several frames of video.
Editing is an art, not a science. Use your senses to put the cuts where they feel right, and lo and behold, they'll feel right to your audience as well.

Bpm xsd/ReviewObject.xsd not found in composite while deploying

Hi,
I am a newbie to BPM.
Installed 11.1.1.5.0 soa/bpm suite.
Tried http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/obe/fmw/obpm/11g/r1/firstProcess/firstprocess_obpm11g.htm
Getting error while deployment of the above saying
The XML-Schema file for the fact com.oracle.xmlns.bpm.bpmobject.hellomodule.reviewobject.ObjectFactory could not be found in the composite.
The XML-Schema file xsd/ReviewObject.xsd could not be found in the composite. The XML fact com.oracle.xmlns.bpm.bpmobject.hellomodule.reviewobject.ObjectFactory of target namespace assumes the existence of the schema file in the composite.
Check the composite for the schema xsd/ReviewObject.xsd and make sure it has target namespace. The schema is expected in the project xsd or businesscatalog folder. If the error persists, contact Oracle Support Services.

configured the domain for bpm suite for developers, soa suite for developers
Developed and deployed from jdeveloper as per the above bpm example link.
If tried without the business rule component, there are no errors, works fine and able to check from /bpm/workspace properly.
Please let me know what needs to be done to correct the above error.
Thx

Hi,
i believe that is a bug in the composite editor. You MUST NOT copy ReviewObject.xsd from the businessCatalog folder to the xsd folder.
Instead, try creating the Business Rule from the BPMN process. This can be done from the "Implementation" dialog of the Business Rule activity.
In that dialog, you can specify the input and output of the Business Rule by dragging&dropping from the Process Data Objects into that dialog.
There is no need to even look at the XSD, it is all hidden under the covers.
Not sure why the tutorial wants you to create the rules component from the composite editor, i will check and get that fixed.
Let me know if that works for you.

Ralf

Message Split -- File to Idoc Scenario - ( Without BPM )

I have multiple records coming to XI in a File and I have to create Multiple Idocs to R/3.
Due to Complexity of mapping I'm splitting Maaping step into 2 message Mappings.
A-->B
B-->C
In the 2nd Mapping step I'm doing message Split meaning for each Source record I'm creating multiple Idocs ( To be precise each record on the source becomes 4 idocs in the Target.
2nd Mapping step is as follows
Source 1..1
Sourcerecord 0.. Unbounded
 field1 0..1
 field2 0..1
 filed3 0..1
Target
Message 1
 Idoc 1.. Unbounded
 Idoc Structure..
Message 2
 Idoc 1.. Unbounded
Message 3
 Idoc 1.. Unbounded
Message 4
 Idoc 1.. Unbounded
So based on some criteria each record of Source will be mapped to 4 Messages ( 1 each under each Message )
Is it possible to do this without BPM?. Iam sending all these Idocs to same R/3 System.
Thanks for any help..RK

Hi,
See the blog
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/04/xi-idoc-bundling--the-trick-with-the-occurance-change
Basicly we have 2 ways of handling such scenarios:
- we can use a block step and send multiple IDOCs from our BPM
- we can also do a little trick and send multiple IDOCs from the XI without a BPM
The first approach is a standard XI approach. It involves the use of a BPM
so the speed of this transfer many not be very good in case you'd like to send
hundreds or thousands of IDOCs in just one call.
The second approach uses a little trick that was mentioned several times
on the XI Froum by a number of XI developers but is still not very clear to the XI newbies.
It allows us to send multiple IDOCs without the use of a BPM. Most probably this will be your choice
if you'd like to use such 1:N (IDOCs) scenarios effectively.
Please see the bwlow threads also..

BPM Configuration in Message Split

Hi All,
My scenario 1:2 Message Split is like this....
Message types: MT_INPUT,MT_OUTPUT1,MT_OUTPUT2.
Message Interfaces: MI_INPUT(OUTBOUND),MI_INPUT_ABS(ABS),MI_OUTPUT1(INBOUND),MI_OUTPUT1_ABS(ABS),MI_OUTPUT2(INBOUND),MI_OUTPUT2_ABS(ABS).
Message Mappings: Source is MT_INPUT and target is MT_OUTPUT1,MT_OUTPUT2(MM_Message_Split)
Interface Mappings: Souce is MT_INPUT_ABS(ABS) and traget is MI_OUTPUT1_ABS,MI_OUTPUT2_ABS(IM_Multiple Files).
BPM steps are:One recieve step,transformation step,Fork.
Fork Branch-1:Reciever determination and Send Output1
Fork Branch-2:Reciever determination and Send Output2.
I didn't create any correlation ID in BPM.
In the configuration of XI I know that I have to create 3 reciever determinations,3 Interface Determinations, 2 Reciever agreements and 1 sender agreement.
But I am fumbling to find out the flow of message interfaces involved here, especially in the interface determinations.
Please help me, I am a newbie to BPM.........

Processing of multiple messages Using BPM

Hello everybody,
I am pretty much a newbie to this XI technology. I am currently testing a File to File scenario Concerning BPM. The source file contains multiple messages in an XML structure. How can each of these XML messages be posted as individual files? I have reffered to this <a href="/people/narendra.jain/blog/2005/12/30/various-multi-mappings-and-optimizing-their-implementation-in-integration-processes-bpm-in-xi on BPM as a guideline; but here the number of messages are restricted and I want to dynamically determine how many messages are contained in the XML file. Anybody has any idea how to achieve this?
Thanks and Warm Regards,

Hello,
The blog you mentioned is for cutting one file into 2 files.
I think you need to use the "ParForEach" step in the BPM. This step is used to loop on a multiple line message and create a single message in one branch. Then you can add a send step in this branch and end only one message.

BAM integration with BPM 11gR1

Hi,
I am trying to integrate BPM 11gR1 with BAM starting with a simple scenario as am a newbie with BAM.
The requirement is to generate a report for tracking a BPM process and whenever a new instance of a BPM process is created, the report should be updated and reflect the change.
I have carried out the following steps:
1. Updated the BAM Adapter on the SOA server with the BAM server details (IP,port, credentials)
2. Cleared the "DisableActions" parameter on the EM console for BPM.
3. Created two Business Indicators for the BPM process whose tracking is to be done. Both these indicators are "Dimensions" with Type String. Used an Assign activity inside the BPMN process to populate the values from the request payload.
4. Created a new Data Object in BAM Architect (Inside a new folder created within Samples folder) and added two columns to it corresponding to the business indicators.
5. In the "Project Properties" of the BPM project, enabled the BAM option and provided the path of Data Object as /Samples/NewFolder. And deployed the project.
6. Created a new BAM report using Active Studio of view type "Updating List" and selected the data object created.
Now, the expected outcome is that whenever the BPM process is invoked and it's instance is created, the data should be sent to BAM and the report should be updated with the values of these Business indicators.
But this is not happening and also am not able to track if the data is at all being sent from BPMN process to BAM.
Not sure if missing out something.
Any inputs/thoughts would be really helpful,thanks.

Hi
You seem to have done all the actions required :
BAM adapter configuration
Disable Actions cleared in EM
BPM process enable for BAM publishing.
Here are a few things you can investigate.
Check the configuration again. Ensure BAM adapter and BPM project preference is pointing to the same JNDI name.
BAM Adapter configuration sometimes require a restart. Please do so , if not already done.
Check if any data showed up in Component DO ? If yes, the problem might just be with the BI DO. Try to send 2-3 instances
Is this PS3 (11.1.1.4.0)? If yes, it will automatically create the BI dataobject for you in Samples folder upon deployment so check under Samples folder if a new DO has been created.
Remember that you need to deploy the process with BAM enabled and BAM server running to get BI data into BAM.
Lastly, check the logs - check bamserver.log , bam-diagnostics.log and Soa/bpm log to get more information.

How to Enable the Oracle BPM Worklist?

Hi!
Newbie here.
So how do you enable the Oracle BPM Worklist?
Sure there a tutorial for this found in http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e17366/chapter16.htm#BABHCICI
and in section "16.2 How to Enable the Oracle BPM Worklist" it says
"By default, Oracle BPM Worklist functionality is disabled. You can enable this functionality in AIAConfigurationProperties.xml.
To enable the Oracle BPM Worklist:
-Access AIAConfigurationProperties.xml located in <AIA_HOME>/aia_instances/$INSTANCE_NAME/AIAMetaData/config.
-Set the EH.INVOKE.HWF property value to true.
-Reload updates to the AIAConfigurationProperties.xml file."
However upon searching for the file "AIAConfigurationProperties.xml" or even the directory "aia_instances" in our servers, I could not find them. Please help me!

If you are talking about 11g Worklist app, then you won't be able to do that, since the source code is not shipped with the product. The better way is to create the custom worklist application using the Worklist APIs. Refer to the SOA Developers Guide.
In case of 10g, you can access the source code of Worklist app, even in that case, you can do your requirement using the exposed APIs.

Difference between BPM Worklist Application & BPM WorkSpace

Hi
I'm a newbie to Oracle BPM.
I want to understand the difference between
Oracle BPM Worklist APplication (that we use for Human Tasks in SOA : host:port/integration/worklistapp)
and
Oracle Business Process Workspace (host:port/bpm/workspace)
I've done a sample BPM process to which the initiator is jcooper.
When I deployed the app, I could find the task in Workspace but not in WorklistApp. Why is it?
I know that one is specifically intended for BPM, but why can't we see the task for jcooper in WorklistApp?
Also, Can you extend your answer to explain Process Composer too(in this context )?
P.S. I could not find a post that covers the diff b/w the three at a high level.

Difference between Oracle BPM Worklist & Oracle BPM Workspace

Extending Expense Management Example in BPM Suite

Hi All,
I am a newbie for BPM Suite. I went through the expense management example.. Next, I would like to extend the example and integrate it with external resources like database and http server (apache tomcat will do).
For eg, Can I store the list of participants in the database and retrieve them when I launch my workspace.
I read about BPM Process API (PAPI), PBL, Fuego but I am not able to relate these. Can anyone please explain me how are they used in integration with BPM Suite ??? Next, How is BPEL Manager Used with BPM Suite ???
I tried searching internet for tutorials/articals but was not able to find anything relevant.
Kindly help...
Many Thanks,
Sophie

Here are the steps:
1. create an external source for your DB: right-click on External Resources -> New External Resource -> Type: SQL Database -> enter all necessary information on your DB (page 145 Oracle BPM StudioGuide)
2. create a module: right-click on Catalog -> New -> Module -> enter name (page 167 Oracle BPM StudioGuide)
3. catalog the external resource: right-click on the newly created Module -> Catalog Component -> SQL -> choose your ex. res.
4. create a BPMObject according to your data structure you want to store.
5. create a presentation based on this BPMObject
6. use a BPM Object Interactive Call in your screenflow to display the form (presentation).
7. implement an automatic activity (impl. type: method) and enter this SQL statement into the method (var1SF id my instance variable in the screenflow):
INSERT INTO buch (id, titel, author, preis)
VALUES (var1SF.id, var1SF.titel, var1SF.author, var1SF.preis)
Have also a look at the thread:
h4. BPM and database interaction
and consider Dan Atwood's answer (i couldn't implement it yet...) on reading data from the DB

Difference between oracle bpm 10g and 11g

Newbie: I am trying to understand 10g. The basic questions I have is
1)What is the difference between 10g and 11g?
2)What is the infrastructure & skillset needed for me to do implementation in 10g?
3)How is migration from 10g to 11g is accomplished?
Any resource links that would help me to get started with 10g would be appreciated.

Without BPM?

All,
Newbie here. We need to connect to a R3 system and call a BAPI that returns the master list for the products under a particular category and transform the result from BAPI as a XML file and put it in a FTP location.
This needs to start whenever a input file is dropped in the FTP location (this contains the catergory)
Can we do this without using the BPM? If yes, how?
Thanks.

Hi -
There's a feature that came out in SP19 that allows you create an async/sync bridge (and vice versa) without BPM. It uses new modules delivered within the adapter framework.
I haven't tried this yet myself, but there's a HTG (How-To Guide) out there on this topic:
<a href="http://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000049832007E/HowToBridgingwithoutBPM04s.pdf">How To Realize a sync-async and async-sync bridge within ADF</a>
In your case, section 3.1 (Async-Sync-Bridge at Sender Site) would be most relevant.

Setting the tempo in STP will change the tempo of any audio files that have apple loops information - that is, they have metadata in the audio file that gives STP an indication of where the beats lie. So if the audio file doesn't have that metadata, it's not going to change with the tempo change in STP.
I don't have Logic, but that might have some kind of beat detection analysis that you can run for that song, and change it there. The other option is to try to add that information to the audio file using the Apple Loop Editor. Soundtrack alone is not going to help you.
