How difficult is it to learn BPM Suite, provided you are good in BPEL

Hi All
I have good experience in Oracle SOA SUite 11g, particularly in implementing BPEL.
I want to know how tough is it to learn Oracle BPM Suite 11g. I'm not going for any training, Want to learn it myself.
Concepts wise, how different is BPM Suite from BPEL?
Please help me in this regard.
As always, I follow Handbooks from Oracle Press.
I've done it for ADF, SOA, and now, I want to do it for BPM too.
How good is that book, and please give me any other resources, keeping in mind, I'm a beginner for BPM Suite.
Regards

From my experience I feel BPEL has much more capability than BPM/BPMN. From learning point of view it is easier than BPEL as it has got fewer components compared to BPEL. Oracle Handbook cover basic topics like Hello World programs. Advance topics are hard to find on the web for BPM.

HT2128 Does any one know how to attach a document from your mail, while you are already in your e-mail, meaning not having to look for your file first and then open the e-mail.

Good question - and one that a lot of (business) people would like solved!
Your question prompted me to do some research, and I found this workaround posted by Scott Grossberg:
His solution actually addresses a second problem too - how to attach a document when replying to an email message. In your case you may not need to consider the "reply" aspect - but if not right now, it'll come in useful someday!
I've pasted it verbatim - if it works for you (it does for me) then all credit goes to Scott for solving the problem. There's just one thing I'd add to his solution: you will probably want to rename the message, as by default Goodreader gives it the Subject line: Mail with GoodReader attachments.
THE GOODREADER OPTION
1. CREATE the document you want to send.
2. SAVE it to GoodReader (this will require you to buy and install the app).
3. Go to your email and OPEN the email thread to which you want to Reply and attach your file.
4. COMPOSE your Reply.
5. DOUBLE TAP the message.
6. TAP SELECT ALL. This will copy the entire email thread.
7. OPEN GOODREADER on the iPad and go to the file you want to send as part of your Reply.
8. At the bottom of the GoodReader screen you will see an EXPORT icon (it looks like a rectangle with an arrow pointing to the right).
9. TAP the Export button.
10. TAP EMAIL FILE. Depending on your needs, tap either SEND FILE “AS IS” or “FLATTEN ANNOTATIONS.” This will open a compose message screen with the chosen document already attached.
11. TAP in the body of the email screen. TAP PASTE. This will place your composed Reply and the prior email thread into the message.
12. ENTER the Recipients’ names in the TO: field of your message.
13. SEND your email Reply.
The modified version (= when composing a new message rather than a reply):
1 Make sure that the doc you want to attach is saved in GoodReader
2 In the message you are composing, double tap, select all, and then copy.
3 Open GoodReader and select the file you want to attach
4 Select the export button at the bottom of screen
5 Select e-mail file
6 Position cursor in body of the email message, tap and paste. You may want to delete the "sent from GoodReader" text that precedes the attachment.
7 Rename your message (as by default it will be Mail with GoodReader attachments)
8 Add the recipient's address in the To field.
Hope this helps! All thanks to Scott for this workaround.

How difficult is it to learn OAF?

Guys
I have 10 yrs exp of apps development, but only of the 'traditional' d2k toolset + pl/sql, workflow etc. I now realise that i really need to know oaf , but looking at the manual it seems daunting to learn, especially when you don't have java/web development experience.
Does anyone have any advise on the best way to get to grips with oaf, start with java maybe, or go on a course?
I know the d2k toolset is basically dead, oaf (and then adf it appears) will be the predominant technology in future. looking at release 12 vision , it was noticeable how much of the new functionality was only available as oaf.

How to send email through oracle bpm suite 10.3.2?

I need to send an email to a particular participant each time the instance change activities.
I have created the "External Resource - Outgoing Mail" but to use the code below, I had no success ...
do
          Mail.from = "[email protected]";
          Mail.recipient = "[email protected]"
          Mail.subject = "Hi";
          Mail.contentType= "Content-type: text/plain;";
          Mail.message = "Hello";
          send Mail;
     on e as Exception
          display "Error!";
I use the Oracle BPM Suite 10.3.2
Grateful.
Wellington.

Using your logic you'd need to set the SMTP field for the Engine.
Since you configured the Outgoing Email External Resource, you might try this instead:
mail as Mail
mail.from = "[email protected]"
mail.recipient = "[email protected]"
mail.subject = "Hi"
mail.message = "Hello"
mailSender as MailSender = Fuego.Net.MailSender(mail : mail)
send(mailSender, implname : "{name of Mail Outgoing Service}")Dan

How to loop with varying values depending on where you are in the loop

Hi,
I have need of loops / nested loops that pick different figures depending on where you are in the loop.
The whole function needs to run through 'ml' times. 'ml' is a dynamic figure.
Loop 1 = While the loop is within the first 12 iterations, 'exconemp' must equal 100. For iterations 13 - 24, 'exconemp' must equal 102.5, for 25 - 36 it will be 105.06, for 37 - 48 it will be 107.69. This needs to change every 12th iteration until it has reached 'ml'. The calculation takes the value of the previous 'exconemp' and then multiplies that by 0.025.
Loop 2 = While the loop is within the first 120 iterations, 'abc' must equal 0.015 and any further iterations must use 0.01. This must also work in a way to figure out whether 'ml' is higher or lower than 120 and work accordingly.
My main issue is this - how do I get the loops to run through as this:
While the iteration is < 12, do this, THEN take the final figure (12th iteration) and start on 13 - 24, do this THEN etc etc.
How do I produce a THEN statement? I can get the code to pick up the final values, but not change along the way.
I think that I may be better creating an array for Loop 1, but I am not entirely convinced of this. I also think it would be better/tidier if I can get 'month 1 total' and 'month 2 total' into the loops, but am not sure on how to do this.
The values that I need to produce are (only first 36 shown):
1 - 12 = 125.55, 251.65, 378.31, 505.52, 633.29, 761.63, 890.53, 1019.99, 1150.03, 1280.63, 1411.81, 1543.57
13 - 24 = 1679.05, 1815.12, 1951.79, 2089.06, 2226.93, 2365.41, 2504.50, 2644.20, 2784.52, 2925.45, 3067.00, 3209.18
25 - 36 = 3355.19, 3501.85, 3649.15, 3797.11, 3945.71, 4094.96, 4244.87, 4395.44, 4546.68, 4698.57, 4851.14, 5004.38
var ml = 240 // dynamic figure, multiple of 12 up to 780
var exconemp;
var exconem = 100;
var inf = 0.025;
var tree;
var tec;
var power;
var fvis;
var abc;
var fvee;
var tfv;
function myfunction() {
//Loop 1
//while (ml <= 12) {
exconemp = exconem;
//while (ml > 12) {
// exconemp = exconem*inf;
//end Loop 1
trace("exconemp=", exconemp); // employees contribution
tree = exconemp/(1-0.2)-exconemp;
tec = exconemp + tree;
trace("tree", tree);
trace("tec", tec);
power = Math.pow(1+0.07, 1/12);
//Loop 2
//while (ml <= 120) {
abc = 0.015;
//while {
//abc = 0.01;
//end Loop 2
fvis = power*(1-abc/12);
trace("fvis=", fvis);
fvee = tec*fvis;
trace("fvee=", fvee); // month 1 total
tfv = (tec+fvee)*fvis;
trace("tfv=", tfv); // month 2 total
for (var i:Number = 0; i < ml; i++)
      tfv = (tec+tfv)*fvis;
trace("tfvloop=", tfv);
I hope that I have explained this well enough.
Many thanks in advance.

I think this will do it although I am not quite getting the numbers you posted.

    exconemp = exconem;
        for(var index:uint = 1; index <= ml; index++)
            trace(index + "--------------------------------");
                tree = exconemp/(1-0.2)-exconemp;
                tec = exconemp + tree;
                power = Math.pow(1+0.07, 1/12);

                fvee = tec*fvis;
                    if(index == 1)

                        trace("month " + index + " total=", tfv); // month n total
            if(index % 12 == 0)

How come there is no "Safety Lock" icon when you are accessing your personal bank info?

How come there is no "safety lock" icon picture in the tool bar when your accessing personal banking info. On other browsers, it shows that the Internet line is secure (the Lock icon) is in the address line. There's nothing on using Firefox.

Padlock is no longer part of Firefox; it was removed beginning in Firefox 4. The padlock shows that there is a secure connection but does not supply additional information. You could have made a typographical error and still have been connected to a secure connection. The padlock was replaced in Firefox 3 with the Site Identity Button. Familiarize yourself with the Site Identity Button at the left end of the Location Bar:

You can install this add-on if you wish:
*https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/padlock-icon/
You are using Firefox 5. The most current version of Firefox is 8. Consider updating as Firefox 5 is not longer updated/maintained and contains security issues that will not be corrected.

How to generate Simulation Report in BPM Suite 11g?

I cann't find the "Generate Report" buttion in the Simulation toolbar in the BPM Studio 11g.
The current version is:
Component     Version
=========     =======
ADF Business Components     11.1.1.56.60
BPMN Editor     11.1.1.3.0.6.84
Java(TM) Platform     1.6.0_18
Oracle IDE     11.1.1.3.37.56.60
SOA Composite Editor     11.1.1.3.0.25.57
Versioning Support     11.1.1.3.37.56.60

Thanks for your reply. But it's not what i want to know.
According to the BPM docs, once the simulation has completed, it is possible to export the metrics into an HTML report, and the raw data and numbers can be exported in CSV format and imported in other tools like Excel for further analysis and comparison with other simulation executions.
But I cann't find out the "Generate Report" Button in the Simulation. Is the feature existed in this version?

Photoshop cs6, how to apply an effect to just the layer you are working on, and not the ones underneath please

I was shown how to do the above earlier this year but cannot find my written reference to it, nor can i find the answer on adobe help site. can someone answer this for me. I know it a couple of quick keys, but don't know which ones, and something to do with where you click within the layer box (then drag). look forward to the answer!

Yeah, there are few type of effects from adjustment layers that csuebele mentioned to layer styles. The styles can be applied to each layer by double clicking on the layer to bring up the editor. Since you mentioned dragging, I would assume copying or moving to a different layer. Drag the head style name between layers to move them and hold down the alt or opt key while dragging to make a copy.
If you convert the layer to a smart object, then each layer that has been converted can also have editable filters as well.

How to create a new instance of the pdf you are using within the pdf

How much does Student CC cost per month if you are a returning member?

Last year I purchased the CC, for $200, a first time member discount, this year, the price nearly doubled without me knowing. I was not aware that it would cost nearly $400, for a student, to have the CC. I can only imagine how much other consumers have to pay for it. Now, the website does not say how much it cost per month for a returning consumer, only for a first time member. I would like the prices to be laid out in front of me so I see where my money is going. It is upsetting to find out that a program doubles the next year you buy it. Also, does the price increase every year a consumer returns? Thank you.

Outlook 2010 - Two Mailboxes - How to force "From" value to match the mailbox you are replying from

Hi there,
The scenario:
Exchange 2010 and Outlook 2010
Two mailboxes - the users personal mailbox and a shared mailbox.
Is there a way to configure Outlook 2010 so that if the user replies to an email that has been sent to the shared mailbox, the reply will automatically be sent from the shared-mailbox address and conversely
if the user replies to an email that has been sent to their personal address, the reply back will automatically be set to send from their personal address.
At the moment I have enabled the "From" field but this is not ideal as it is easy to forget to change the address if you are busy. Also, they seem to think this was possible in Outlook 2003 so I would be surprised if this was a deliberately
dropped feature from Outlook 2010.
Many thanks for your time,
Tony

This is by design
when you want to reply from shared mailbox you can use OWA
Open owa login with your credentials
https://mail.domain.com/
in the url above suffix the shared mailbox email address this will show you the OWA view of Shared mailbox
it will look like https://mail.domain.com/[email protected]

Single setup file for BPM Suite 11g or later

Hi
Please tell me where to find a single setup file for Latest Oracle BPM Suite.
I could not install all required software with multiple setup files.

Hi
1. Sorry. There is Nothing single setup file for Oracle BPM Suite like you are expecting for any typical software application.
2. Option 1: Yes. If you are familiar with VM Ware and virtual machine, then you are ok to some extent. Oracle do have like a single vm image that takes care of all you want. Provided you have VM installed. Means we do have an image that contains all pre-requisites and full oracle bpm software like Oracle XE, RCU, WLS, SOA/BPM on top of WLS, BPM/SOA Domain. But this is for advanced and not for beginners unless you know VM Ware and virtual images.
3. If you are a java/j2ee developer/architect, then here are the steps for installation:
a) Good machine with atleast 8 GB RAM.
b) Install WLS Latest Version. Install SOA/BPM matching version on top of this WLS.
c) Install Oracle XE Database or have access to already installed regular Oracle 11g Database.
d) Download RCU same version as above of soa version and unzip and install in the above Database. I am not giving all steps. Just an overview.
e) Now run config wizard, create a bpm/soa domain and refer above rcu details (soa_infra, mds etc). You will have a soa/bpm domain.
f) Download and install JDeveloper IDE same matching version. Here you will create any soa / bpm / bpel applications. Once all done. Deploy on the above created domain.
So unfortunately, there is nothing like a single .exe or setup file to install oracle bpm/soa. The closest is a vm image which is kind of advanced. But for a normal typical software developer, you had to follow above step 3 (a to f).
Unfortunately if you do not have Virtual Machine, you should and must install all the software(s) and configuration(s). There is no other alternative. Its very simple either way.
Thanks

Suggestions on Oracle bpm suite

hi,
Can anyone give me some suggestions on Oracle bpm suite. rightnow i am working as an oracle dba.

What are the chances for oracle bpm? can we work as an oracle bpm consultant and oracle dba together?
Please help

Hi Sudipto
Thanks for the response.
These were good links. The webinars seem to be good.
I'm actually looking for a book that covers the entire suite
In learn more section, I find two books
Oracle Business Process Management Suite 11g Handbook and Getting Started With Oracle BPM Suite 11g R1: A Hands-On Tutorial
Which among these two is better? If there's anyone who has gone thru these books, please suggest me a good book.

Transfer value from global automatic activity in Aqualogic BPM Suite

Hi, I am new to Aqualogic BMP suite and stuck with the following problem :
In aqualogic bpm suite, if we are setting some values to some variables in a global automatic activity in a process how to get those values back in some other activities (say an Interactive activity) in the same process or how to assign the values to some instance variables in the Begin activity ??
We have a scenario where we are creating some process instances from the Global Automatic activity using the following :
args["name"] = abc
create ProcessInstance using parameters = args
Now how to get the value "abc" and assign this value to an instance variable in the Begin activity(/access the value "abc" in an interactive activity)within the same process.
Thanks,
Suman.

Hi,
Let's say you have an Argument Set defined in your Begin activity called BeginIn. The arguments in this Argument Set can be "a", "b" and "c" of type String, Int and boolean accordingly.
If you want to use the ProcessInstance.create method, then you would need to have a PBL script like this one:
args[] = [ "a" : "SomeStringLiteral", "b" : 1234, "c" : true ];
ProcessInstance.create(processId : "/MyProcess", arguments : args, argumentsSetName : "BeginIn");
