Integration with business processes (workflow)?

Hi all,
how OBIEE integrates with business process?
kapil

Hi,
Integration can be done both ways:
- You can call an iBot from any business proces via webservices.
- You can call a business process (i.e. BPEL proces) from an iBot through a custom java script.

Business process manager using Apex

Has anyone implemented a declarative, generic business process/workflow engine similar to Oracle's BPEL Process Manager using Apex? There are some threads on this forum talking about BPEL's predecessor Oracle Workflow, an open source engine called PL/Flow and the like but they are more than 4 years old. I also see some survey/questionnaire type applications but they don't have process flow, routing, approvals, notifications and all that stuff. Other vendors have similar end-to-end solutions.
Comments? Thanks

Hi there,
I've been trying to find more information about the same subject but it does not seems to be a very popular issue, I'm shocked!
I've learned that 10g came with a workflow server buy it's not longer offered in 11g. The reason of course is to sell oracle BPMN/BPEL; unfortunately these tools are way out of my budget, they are good tools but extremely costly.
Therefore, i've done some research about open source alternative that i could merge with apex applications to include routing, approvals via email, notifications, etc. And luckly there are a lot, too many to list, take a look at the link below
http://java-source.net/open-source/workflow-engines
Let me know if you find osme other alternatives,
Thanks,

Kick off a business process with JMS message

I'm a newbie with a job that's way over my head and I'm thouroughly confused on
the logic involved with kicking off a business process (workflow) through the
reciept of a JMS message. The docs say it can be done. I have a business process
in one project folder of an enterprise app, its start node is a channel subscription.
Can I somehow send a JMS message directly to the business process? (Send a message
NOT from within the weblogic environment, but from outside) I have created a
Message Driven bean in a seperate project folder of the same application as the
business process. From an outside client, I think I might need to invoke the
MDB with a JMS message, then call the business process from there. Is this totally
off-base? What do event generators have to do with any of this?
Please help.

Yes, you use the event generator.
Open up the Weblogic Integration console, click on Event Generators.
Add a JMS Event generator that listens to the queue you are interested
in, and then select the channel that your process has subscribed to.

Difference between Business Process and Workflow

Hi all,
What is the difference between Business Process and Workflow? i have googled it and I don't really understand that complicated definition? Is there any examples to illustrate the difference between the both?

Hi,
I will try to put here , my perspective of this. If somebody knows better, they can update further on this.
Business process is purely on the perspective of the users. It may or maynot have anything to do with the system. When a draw a business flow diagram, we dont take care of how each and every process is handled in the system. The best illustration is an example of authorisation.
Let me say that I create a Purchase requisition. Once it is released a PO will be created by procurement managerD
This is a business process. However if we look at the system perspective, it can be like this.
1. Create a PR.
2. Check the value of the PR
3. If value <$100,an email needs to be send to person A, if it is $100 to 300$, an email should be send to person B and if >$300, an email should be send to B and C.
4.Once it is released, an email shoudl be send to D for creating a PO on this PR.
Here not only the process, but also how the work is delegated across various entities of the process is mentioned.
There are softwards like VISIO which actually take care of the business process in the perspective of the entities involved in the process. A workflow is a moredetailed version of business process with the roles of entities clearly defined and hence configured well in the system.
The concept is workflow is mostly used in the processes of authorisations, business activity monitoring(BAM), etc.
Hope I make it little clear to you.

Automating Business Process.. Workflow or BPEL??

Dear All,
I hope you help me in this:
We need to automate all the business processes exists at the work. Currently we are using Oracle database and Oracle Forms and Reports to build all our applications.
The developers are excellent at SQL and PL/SQL. There is not any knowledge about Java or any other programming language.
Should Oracle Workflow be used to automate our business processes? Could it be used from Oracle Forms? or any other Oracle tools in general?
Or we should go for Oracle BPEL instead of Oracle Workflow?
I hope you help me in this
Emad

The idea is to automate everything. I am working in a university, so, there are many bunisess process such as:
1. Hiring New Employee: starting from the request of hiring the new employee up to the approving of hiring and signing the contract with this new employee.
2. Student Process: such as request to drop registered course, enrolling a closed course because of a special conditions... etc
3. Employees Requests: could be software/hardware maintenance request, could be electrical maitenance...etc
The nice thing that we (as IT department) has worked with the Quality unit at my work and we have documented every business process. So, now we know every business process from it will start and where it will end.
Now, we need to automate this. There is a debation that our developers should develop this system. I have said NO, there are Workflow Engines exist in the IT world and we have to study them and choose the best one for our needs.
We are using Oracle Database and Oracle Forms and Reports. We have excellent working experience in SQL and PLSQL.
Honestly, I have been thinking of Oracle Workflow, but Oracle BPEL beckons me.
Therefore, I am posting this thread for the sake of help from experts here who already has an excellent experience in this
Waiting for your participations..
Thanks

Is the XI Business Process Engine similar to R/3 Workflow Engine ?

Is the XI Business Process Engine related to the SAP R/3 workflow engine ? I can see similar terminology like Container operation between the two workflow depictions.
-Manish

Hi Manish,
the BPM engine is exactly the Workflow engine included in the WAS installation of XI.
You can see that a BPM saved and activated generate a workflow template (don't touch it!).
You'll discover that the monitors of BPM are the tipical transaction of SAP workflow.

Workflow and business process

hi,
may i know where (transaction code or table or configuration path) can tell that which business process has workflow activated.
for example PO me21n, how do we know that me21n has workflow activated or not.
thanks

Hello,
You can also look in SWE2 to see which linkages are active, and which ones could produce workflows if they were activated.
Making the connection from the BOR or Class back to the transaction is a bit more difficult. You could try executing the transaction (e.g. creating a PR) and then look in SWEL (event trace) to see if any events are created.

Using ARIS process models as the foundation for Business Process Monitoring

Hello,
Do anyone know if you can use IDS Scheer ARIS process models and the integration between IDS Scheer ARIS and SAP Solution Manager as the starting point for end-to-end Business Process Monitoring (BPM) so that you get the process description/model automatically in Solution Manager BPM and just need to configure the monitoring (more or less that you monitor against the modelled process in ARIS)?
Is there an API for SAP Solution Manager BPM so that non-SAP solutions/systems can be part of the end-to-end process monitoring?
If not, how do you usually integrate non-SAP solutions that are part of an end-to-end process that you want to monitor into SAP Solution Manager BPM, or do you not use Solution Manager BPM for this?
What is the roadmap for SAP around SAP Solution Manager BPM when it comes to non-SAP systems/applications/solutions and the new SAP NetWeaver BPM functionality?
Regards,
Markus Johansson

Hello Markus,
I just paste my answer form the other forum entry Re: Business process management strategy in SAP?
in a nutshell BPM Netweaver is focussing on so called edge-processes (usually
SOA-based and often workflow related). These edge-processes a thought to enhance exisitng core business processes and should provide the fast competitive edge versus competitors. Examples would be also xApps. For this Netweaver provides process modelling tools, where you can get exectuable code through the integration between CE and PI. The monitoring part for these processes is mainly targeting business end-users and business manager.
Business Process Monitoring with Solution Manager focusses on core business processes which are realized with the "conventional", "old" SAP Architecture, e.g. Order-to-Cash or Procure-to-Pay. You get a combination of technical monitors (average response times of transactions, background job runtimes, monitors for IDOC or qRFC processing) and application related monitors (you get more than 200 pre-configured application monitors out-of-the-box like number of overdue customer orders or outbound deliveries or number of deliveries with goods issue posted but no invoice). The target group here is the support organization of the customer, from Basis-Support over application support on IT side to process owner on business department side.
Overview presentations can be found under
https://service.sap.com/bpm --> Media Library --> Customer Information -->
"Business Process Monitoring - Part 1 & 2".
Or look under https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/nw-processmonitoring
In the end BPM Netweaver and BPMon SolMan are complementary for different purposes and different target groups.

Business Process not initiated

Hello,
I have implemented a little business process that works in conjunction
with 2 other systems.
System one sends asynchronously a message to the business process, that
bp transforms the message and sends it synchronously via rfc to the
system two.
For this situation I have created a business process and a business
scenario, which are all configured properly at least according to the
checks in the integration designer.
At next I have transfered the scenario to the integration configurator
and configured the business systems. So far there was no problem in
doing so.
In the end I have 2 configured business systems, 1 business process, 2
receiver determination and 2 interface determinations and 1 receiver
agreement.
After that I have generated a proxy via sproxy in the business system 1
and called the proxy asynchronously. This call is monitored in the XI
correctly, but it is flagged as "Message scheduled (commit missing)".
Then nothing happens any more. I have checked the workflow engine
(sxmb_moni_bpe) whether something has been received, but this was not
the case. I also checked whether there are 2 identical entries for the
receiver determination.
Although the CPA cache seems to be ok at the moment according to
transaction (sxi_cache) and the information from the integration
repository, I had some problems today while creating the scenario, it
said "unable to refresh cache content" and the signals in the
repository where red. But right now, everything looks fine except the
fact, that the message from my abap proxy is not routed through
correctly.
This seems to be very strange, has somebody an idea what the status:Message scheduled (commit missing) actually means?
Thank you very much,
Oliver Budde

I trying to design a Business Process. After a success creation of my Business Process, I trying to insert the components and it's work but when a trying to assign any interface or configuration to my components, they don't allowm assign anything because the properties aren't enable...

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
first thing you should try is:
1. Start transaction SWU3.
2. Use the button u201CAutomatic workflow customizingu201D
it's explained [here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/10bcbd65-64ea-2a10-9a8d-b653b8e0843c] .

What is Business Process Monitoring Tool (BPMT)?

Dear colleagues
There is also a strange tool named Business Process Monitoring Tool (BPMT), provided as an Add-on installation within SAP Netweaver 701 SP06
[Note 1453759 - BPMT 701 Business Process Monitoring Tool: Installation|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1453759]
What is it, and how it is connected with SAP NW BPM?
Any explanation would be much appreciated

Hi,
this tool is to provide a business process monitoring within the ABAP stack. So you're able to get information about "how many processes of process X have not been finished, yet". This is based on several agents listening to the business process implementations (e.g. SAP Business Workflow) and provides those generated events to a monitoring engine.
As far as I know this component has not been released, yet. I don't know the delivery date (maybe in QII or QIII 2011) --> who know's?
Cheers
Martin
