BPM Suite

Question

Hi,
what is the difference between Oracle BPM studio and Oracle BPM Enterprise ?
What for these both are used ?

Answer 1

Oracle BPM Studio is used by both Business Analysts and Developers where all the modeling and development takes place.
Business Analysts use Studio to do 4 things:
(1) model business processes in a role based activity flow process diagram
(2) document the business processes for the end user participants and developers
(3) simulate the business processes and perform what-if analysis to determine if the designed processes will meet the cost, time and throughput objectives desired.
(4) create business rules
Developers use Studio to:
(1) do the 4 things listed above
(2) expose a company's existing components (Java POJOs, databases, web services, service bus, .NET assemblies, etc.)
(3) create logic that invokes the components exposed.
(4) create variables that stores the information that each work item instance needs to do its work as it reaches each activity in the process
(5) create objects that can be used to transport information throughout the processes. These objects can contain attributes for information storage, methods for the logic needed and presentations to present the information to end users inside human activities inside processes.
(6) create BAM dashboard reports that aggregate and show KPI information in the form of pie, bar charts and gauges.
Oracle BPM Enterprise is the runtime environment that consists of:
(1) a Process Administration console to publish and deploy the processes created by business analysts and developers using Studio
(2) an Engine running either standalone on a JVM or on an application server (WebLogic or Web Sphere)
(3) databases that automatically persist the instance variables
(4) a web based WorkSpace that allows end users to interact with work item instances flowing through the processes deployed
(5) BAM dashboard displays that show the KPI pie, bar and gauge information
Hope this helps,
Dan
