BPM suite or studio

Hi
I am a bit confused.
Whats the difference between BPM studio and Enterprise edition. I am downloading the Studio.
When we say BPM SUITE does it mean studio or do i need to download something else besides studio.
The datasheet is very hopeless is this regard.
whats BPM SUIT?
Does it conatin BPM Studio?
Does the Studio contain BPM SUITE along with the designer?
then what is OraceBPM Enterprise?
I am confused with these downloads.
i will really appreciate if some one can answer this.
thanks
sarm

The Oracle BPM Suite has two main products, Studio which is the IDE that you use in the development phase and Enterprise that is the platform where you deploy the projects build in Studio.
Studio also contains an engine and other tools like workspace to be able to develop without having to deploy always to Enterprise but does not mean that you can substitute Enterprise with Studio.
I think there are other threads in this forum that explains in detail for what is used each component of the suite but this I think is a good startup.

Developers Guide for Oracle BPM Suite....

All,
I was trying to find a developers guide for using Oracle BPM Suite (11g). I found the one in the following link, however this looks like a pretty detailed one...
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/integrate.1013/b28981/toc.htm
Can you someone help me find any other flavors of the developers guide? I am looking for the following...
1. Methods of work - Best Practices for design and development of BPM process models.
2. Naming Conventions for Process Modeling - Best Practices
3. Coding standards for Process Modeling (J Developer)
4. Guide with FAQ's for connecting / Publishing Process Models to the MDS Database.
5. Deployment Standards - best practices....
6. Infrastructure - Recommendations for Scale out deployment in Linux v/s Windows OS.

"Oracle BPM Suite 11g" and "Oracle SOA Suite 11g" components

Dear Friends,
I am very confusing about the "Oracle BPM suite 11g" and "Oracle SOA Suite 11g" and would like your help on explanation as the following :
I have learn that In order to use "Oracle BPM Suite 11g" require to have "Oracle SOA Suite 11g" components to install first. Does it means that :
1) When we buy "Oracle BPM Suite 11g" , we automatically get the "Oracle SOA Suite 11g" components as well ?
2) IS it correct that these " these Oracle SOA Suite 11g components" are included :
(a) Oracle BAM
(b) Oracle Business Rules
(c) Oracle BPEL Manager
(d) Oracle Service Bus
(e) Oracle Complex Event Processing
3) Do we have a right to use all of these components listed in (2) ?
4) Then the answers in (3) is "YES", then Is it correct when the customer buy the "Oracle BPM Suite 11g" , they no need to buy "Oracle SOA 11g" any more when they would like to implements that applications based on SOA in the future (without using BPM) ?
5) What IF , the customer would like to start with "Oracle SOA Suite 11g" product and decide to buy only Oracle SOA Suite 11g first ; then later on in the future they would like to implement BPM projects in the future. Can you upgrade "Oracle SOA Suite 11g" to include "Oracle BPM Sutie 11g" and pay only the price different ?
I hope you can help providing the answers to these questions. THank you very much in advance.
Best Regards
Pearapon S.

This is a question best answered by your Oracle reseller or Oracle account manager to give you all the details but I hope this brief answer helps:
- The Unified Business Process Management Suite (BPM Suite 11g) includes: BPM Studio, BPM Composer, BPMN Service Engine and Workflow Extensions, BPM Process Spaces, and BPM Process Analytics.
- BPM Suite 11g requires the licensing of SOA Suite 11g for Oracle Middleware which requires a license for WebLogic Suite.
- You can license SOA Suite 11g now and license BPM Suite 11g later.
Since the products are layered, I don't see this cutting into SOA sales at all. My personal view is that BPM on top of SOA is brilliant since it provides easy integration between human and automated tasks, builds on many of the SOA concepts that are key for a successful BPM implementation (functional, not the Oracle product), and uses the same IDE. The synergies extend past easy use of services; the same business rules and human workflow components are used between both products.

Alfresco+BEA Aqualogic(Oracle) BPM Suite Integration.

Hi,
I have two questions to ask:
1.Is BEA Aqua Logic BPM Suite now a part of Oracle BPM Suite or it still exists on its own as a separate entity.
2.I have requirement to integrate BEA Aqua logic(Oracle) BPM Suite with Alfresco to develop advance workflows created using BPM Suite on Alfresco.I have searched on web but not found anything much relevant.Can anybody help me out on how to do it?Is it possible or not?If yes,any link or documentation for the same would be highly appreciated.If no,please confirm the same also.
Thank You,
Regards,
J Lalit

thanks so much, it's of great help.
however, if i want to download the install file of the whole Oracle Business Process Management Suite, which files are required?
as i know, the whole OBPM Suite includes 5 products:
BEA AquaLogic BPM Studio/Server
Oracle BPEL Process Manager
Oracle Business Rules
Oracle Business Activity Monitoring
Oracle Process Portal
i checked
http://edelivery.oracle.com/EPD/Download/get_form?egroup_aru_number=9132671
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/bea_main.html
seems these products are listed seperately. and each product also includes many parts. i don't know which parts should download. especially we're going to intall on Linux 86.
thanks.

Legacy Integration - BPM suite or SOA suite?

We have an existing legacy transaction engine, all dedicated CICS, including security (ransactions, exits, etc.). Looking to externalize and consolidate some of the business logic away from it. Databases are Oracle and DB2 on the host. Not more then five instances total.
Definitely using WebLogic, not WAS, not JBoss. Hiring and training support team starting next month. Number of processes to be consolidated/transitioned is less then 40 total. Would you recommend BPM Suite or SOA suite with BPEL PM? Any benefits of one vs the other? We do have some BPM (AL) studio experience.
Thanks in advance.

Someone from Oracle should step in on this thread when they get a chance to provide greater depth on the BPEL side and the strategic direction on both Oracle BPM and BPEL.
If you have Oracle Suite, you get Oracle Service Bus (OSB) which provides a platform that both BPEL and Oracle BPM can consume from. If you purchase Oracle BPM Suite, you get licenses for both Oracle BPM and BPEL and Oracle BPM processes can consume BPEL processes and vice versa. If you look at Oracle's plans for Oracle BPM 11g coming out sometime in the next 10 months, it appears to be a coexistance strategy leveraging the strengths of both Oracle BPM and BPEL.
My initial reaction was to say that it's not an "either/or" scenario, but the realities of training budgets and skill sets pretty much dictate that you need to focus on one or the other.
I've been doing Oracle BPM work for several years so recognize that although I am not biased, it might appear so in this thread. If you hit the BPEL forum, you'll get feedback from enthusiastic proponents of BPEL. Although I'd like to be, I'm not an expert on BPEL, but here's my take on your question.
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. As I hinted at in an earlier thread, 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).
BPEL models are very useful for IT. Most times IT does not care or need to know about the roles / swimlanes and the BPEL tool does a nice job of not providing these extra artifacts. When the model has to be shown to non-technical executives, managers, SMEs and business analysts, it is typically shown in BPA. There is a round tripping interface between BPA and BPEL that the folks at Oracle can show you. Others may disagree, but I think there is a bit of a learning curve with BPA for business analysts. It has many different types of diagrams that let you see the different levels of decomposition and abstraction.
Logic
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 can easily inherit attributes provided by introspected components. This means that if you have an ERP system with 138 attributes, you do not have to rebuild this object from scratch in Oracle BPM.
Probably one of BPEL's strengths is that there is not much coding inside the tool. Instead the logic mostly resides in the invoked components.
UI
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're a JSP shop, you have the flexibility to instead create your forms using the Oracle BPM tag library instead of the forms editor provided.
The forms you build are automatically presented in the OOTB Workspace.
I believe BPEL uses ADF as the forms builder interface. Others on this forum or folks on the BPEL forum are far more knowledgeable on ADF than I am and can give you the comparison between UI builders.
Runtime
Oracle BPM can be installed on WebLogic. There is a common misunderstanding that Oracle BPM cannot be clustered. This is also not the case. The engine was first ported to WebLogic about 4 years ago and clustering is supported.
Integration
As I mentioned in the earlier thread, both tools can provide the integration you're looking for. Both Oracle BPM and BPEL can use OSB as the intermediary layer. Oracle BPM can expose and consume component directly if you do not have OSB.
Finally, Oracle BPM was built and architected as one complete solution with modeling, development, runtime, end user worklist and BAM capabilities built into it from the beginning 10 years ago. This integration makes the process modeling tool simple for both IT and business analysts to easily communicate using the same modeling syntax. Similarly, integration across the different parts of the product makes it easy to expose the components directly inside Oracle BPM's catalog (again - since you have SOA Suite, instead use OSB so you enable your SOA architecture). Even the end user interface (the Workspace) that exposes users' inboxes and displays the forms is OOTB and automatcally built for you by the tool.
Hope this helps,
Dan

Is PAPI-WS available in Oralce BPM Suite 11GR1?

Hello everybody i need some help:
I installed Oracle BPM Suite 11gR1 and I need to know if PAPI-WS is supported in these release.
In case is supported i need how can I activate this service for invoke it via http(SOAP)
The problem is I need to manage(start/stop) the processes that have bean deployed in Oracle BPM engine from a client application developed in other tecnologies
Regards

The reference to the Human Workflow docs is important. But it's also important to keep in mind that the architecture of 11g is different than in 10g. While you can interact with the tasks defined in a process via the Human Workflow APIs. You don't start process instances from those APIs. Please see this post:
Re: Getting while running the BPEL process from java
It references an ATeam example app that can start processes from a web client. But the Java APIs are described too.

How to extend Prebuilt SOA/BPM Suite VM domain to include IPM?

I am using the Pre-built Virtual Machine for SOA Suite and BPM Suite 11g. I want to extend the domain to include IPM because my BPM app needs to search and update document fields stored in the UCM repository. When I use the Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard to extend the domain to include IPM, it fails.
One thing I noticed is that it doesn't recognize the existing components that are already in the domain. For example, Enterprise Manager is not checked and grayed out as it should be. (Maybe this is related to the fact this prebuilt VM has a "collapsed domain".)
When I check IPM, it automatically checks "Oracle Enterprise Manager" and "Oracle JRF" in the list. Clicking next, it then complains of existing components (Oracle JRF), but I select "Keep existing component". Eventually I receive this error message:
CFGFWK-64056: There is a problem with the template!
So, how can I get IPM working on this VM? Or, is there another VM (or more than one) that will allow me to run SOA and BPM Suite, along with UCM and IPM? As I said, I am creating a BPM app that needs to communicate with IPM to search for and update field data for documents stored in the UCM respository.

Hi Preethi,
I also have same kind of scenario. Were you able to refresh the workspace programatically?

How long until Oracle posts BPM Suite bundle definition and costs???

Alright... how long do we have to wait until Oracle officially posts what is in the BPM Suite and updates the price list? The current web site contents certainly don't have the up to date BPM Suite product bundle correctly identified. The May price list still has the price over $115K which can't be right since I also need the SOA Suite. I have run into multiple Oracle sales reps who all gave me different answers. Anyone else care to know this information with some clarity and want to chime in asking Oracle to make it clear?

Hi Kyle,
I really understands your concern.With some limited feature with BPM composer it is best to start building BPM Process first from using Jdeveloper.
They we can move to web form which will give an more insight into BPM.
Please prepare to have some knowledge on ADF too. Its simple
To start with i would suggest below link:
http://blogs.the-hindu-matrimony.com/wordpress/oracle-fusion-middleware/oracle-soa-bpm-11g-blogs/oracle-soa-bpm-11g/bpm-…
Check this for Composer web forms:

Hi Ravi, Leaf
I am facing similar issue when trying to logon to bpm workspace (http://localhost:7001/bpm/workspace) after installing BPM & SOA Suite 11.1.1.4 Developers (single JVM install of AdminServer only).
Steps I followed are-
1.     Database is XE, I have set an environment variable to TRUE as suggested on download instructions page
2.     Install SOA suite 11.1.1.4 by choosing the options for BPM for developers
3.     When logging to WLS and em console with “weblogic” user, it works fine.
4.     On the em console, I have checked and verified the “BPMWorkspaceAdmin” role exists and weblogic user is a added to the role
5.     However using “weblogic” user, I can not login to bpm workspace (http:// localhost:7001/bpm/workspace). The server log shows-

Unable to access BPM composer UI despite installing BPM Suite 11g

Hi,
I've installed BPM suite (& SOA suite too) but even after starting Admin server and managed server (soa_server1), I'm unable to access BPM composer (I'm
using URL similar to http://host/bpm/composer) though I can access WLS console, EM, BPM worklist application etc correctly. Just wanted to check, what else needs to be done to use BPM composer? Kindly let me know.
Thanks,
Harsh

Thanks Rommel. It worked!
PS: I've seen Composer UI working fine in other BPM installations without specifying port in URL, so I was also trying on similar lines.

Newsgroup reorganization + New AL BPM Suite Product Center on Dev2Dev

Hi,
As you've probably noticed, we've reorganized the BPM newsgroups a little - cutting down on the dozen or two that we had (aqualogic.business.service.*), leaving just five:
aqualogic.bpm.general
aqualogic.bpm.modeling (renamed old .project.development)
aqualogic.bpm.runtime
aqualogic.bpm.administration (renamed old .bpm.administration)
aqualogic.bpm.development (renamed old .service.papi)
We hope this makes it easier for everyone to monitor and contribute. At the same time, we've created a new AquaLogic BPM Suite Product Center on Dev2Dev:
http://dev2dev.bea.com/albpm/
Regards,
Jon
PS. Here's our intent for the newsgroups:
* aqualogic.bpm.general
- announcements, concepts, foundations
* aqualogic.bpm.modeling
- process modeling, simulation, importing models, modeling tips
* aqualogic.bpm.runtime
- performance, scalability, architecture, monitoring, J2EE
* aqualogic.bpm.administration
- installation, deployment, automation, configuration, directory[ALIP]
* aqualogic.bpm.development
- process management, version control, configuration

some newsgroups were renamed, others were archived.
the screenflows newsgroup (via NNTP) is not available anymore, you should refer to the new names if you want to access via NNTP.
People reading via RSS should not change anything since the URLs are based on the internal id and not by name.

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
