Is it possible for the end user to make changes to business processes?

Hi
I'm investigating Oracle's BPEL Processor Manager and BPM technologies for a large project we are going to do. The client wants to be able to change/create new business processes which would mean different web services being called in different orders after different amounts of time.
Is it possible to allow end users to change business processes in a SOA environment with a portal using Oracle's offerings. This would eliminate JDeveloper & the designer and the need for knowledge of the underlying architecture.
The only way around this would be getting users to edit the business rules but that would only work in a linear environment with lots of decisions won't it?
Regards
Sean

I will leave your real question to be answered by product folks.
BPEL does have capabilities that let you change how a given process will execute. For example, it's normal to have a process that will react differently depending on an incoming message (CancelMessage processes one way, SubscribeMessage does something else, ...). You can have the partnerlink that is invoked be selected based on a variable, a rule, a message element, a property in a property file or a preference set in the BPEL console. However, these all fail to answer your original question, because they require the original designer to code it all, not giving someone the capability to add a new WSDL on the fly with JDeveloper.
You can also overlay endpoints, like if the user is in California, send to the west-coast server instead of the east coast. There is (was?) a tutorial about overlaying WSDLs.

  • Is it possible for an end user to change application Theme?

    Hi
    Is it possible for an End user to change the theme or Font of the application.
    We have a requirement where End user should able to change color or font of application (like we do theme change in some social networking websites)
    Please provide some suggestions.
    Many Thanks
    --Vijay                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

    You could:
    1. export your current theme
    2. change the exported file using a good editor and change the path
    #IMAGE_PREFIX#themes/theme_10/
    to
    #IMAGE_PREFIX#themes/theme_&THEME_NUMBER./
    and do that also with all strings related to that theme number.
    3. crete an application item THEME_NUMBER
    4. create an application computation for THEME_NUMBER to set it to a value (10) in case the value is null
    5. import the theme and make it the current theme
    6. create a link in your application which will set the value of THEME_NUMBER to whatever - 1 to 20 for the standard themes - and submit the change
    This will change the template as you specify.
    This explanation is of course simplified. Depending on the design of your application it may require considering some other details that need to be adjusted.
    Something like in this example:
    http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=25882:1
    The assumption is that all of your referenced classes in all css files have the same name for the same class with a leading theme number (which istn't the case in standart themes). However, this can at least give you an idea on how to proceed. I have done that with some custom themes I created and it works very well.

  • Questions for the end users in Building an application.

    Questions for the end users in Building an application.
    Hello,
    I am assigned a project in building a CF application. As far
    as the business requirements, I have an idea from the MIS people.
    However, I have a meeting with direct users and I have to ask
    questions to add to my requirements. I am still a beginner in this
    but I need to ask questions.
    Can anyone give me tips? what basic / important questions?

    For starters,
    DO:
    Ask them to discuss what they want to do with the application
    Try to understand their level of computer literacy
    Keep your conversation non-technical
    Continue to interact with the users during the design and
    development process
    Try to identify a "champion" with whom you can interface as the
    project progresses
    DON'T:
    Use technical terms or discuss technical issues
    Talk down to them
    Promise delivery dates until you have documented their
    requirements and they have approved them

  • Is there a place to see the "Marker Text" for the entire index and make changes?

    I know how to make individual changes in "marker text" for the Index.
    Is there a place to see the "Marker Text" for the entire index and make changes there?
    I am indexing a book that uses quotes from scripture.
    As an example, I want to change listings from
    Colossians 3:10-11
    to
    Colossians 3 verses 10-11
    I would appreciate any help.
    If this is not the correct venue for this question, please disregard.

    You didn't mention which version of FM that you're using. In FM9, this can now be done in the Marker Pod.
    There are third-party utilities that also let you see all marker content.
    In the freebie category is MarkerWorker from Cudspan at: http://www.cudspan.net/plugins/
    In the paid plug-in category are:
    IXgen: http://www.fsatools.com/ixmid.html
    MarkerTools : http://www.leximation.com/tools/info/markertools.php
    emDex: http://www.emdex.ca/
    Indexing add-ons:
    IndexTools (helpful for formatting and other Index layout tricks): http://www.siliconprairiesoftware.com/Products.html
    In the DIY category, you can create a List of Markers for the Index (with hypertext enabled), open the Marker window (Special > Marker...) and then use ctrl+alt click on the entry to make a hypertext link to the location and see it in the marker window for editing. [Note: you can also do the same thing from the Index itself]

  • Adding a custom field for the end user in ecommerce

    I'm working with a client that is selling a product that requires the end user to enter custom information before adding the product to the cart.
    Its something like entering the name they want to engrave on the gift. How can i add this functionality within BC?

    Depending on your requirements for a "signature", some people will just use a checkbox that indicates that you are "signing" the form, maybe some text for the agreement and a checkbox to agree.  I don't know if your work flow requires an actual signature, but wanted to give you that bit of information.
    Thanks,

  • Forms application not opening for the end user.

    I have an Oracle Form that works fine when I copy the url into the browser and user the login credentials of the schema owner. But when I use the credentials of the end user, it does not open the form. I receive no error messages.
    To troubleshoot, I opened the form in Forms Builder, log in as the end user and Compile, but I get no error messages.
    I also took a call to a server-side procedure that is in the Form, and ran it in SQL Developer, once again while logged in as the end user, and it ran successfully.
    I’m not sure what could be wrong. Any suggestions on how to debug this?

  • Minimal access for the end users to access a page sharepoint.

    I have a list Projects which i have put in a different aspx page by the name ProjectPage.
    I have end users accesing that page where i have applied certian styles for dsplaying in a customized way.
    However, i need to configure their permissions in such a way that they should be able to access any page other than the project page.
    They should not even see the site actions bar and should not be able to access the _layouts/viewlsts.aspx page as well as settings page form the address bar.

    To restrict application page, either you can hide them from UI (but still be accessible by putting direct url) OR create a custom permission and uncheck "view application page" option. Refer this link for more info:

  • Help for the end users

    (This isn't really a technical question, so apologies if I've posted this in the wrong forum.)
    I have been using Java Web Start for some time to distribute some of my software. I appreciate not having to create separate installers for each OS, and that I can ensure that all my users have the latest stable version of the software at all times. But when one of my users reports that they can't even run my application, it can be very difficult to diagnose the problem remotely.
    The main problem is that my app is the only Java Web Start app most of my users have seen. So I spend most of my time diagnosing issues that have nothing to do with my code. The problem might be a browser issue. Maybe they haven't installed Java, or the browser doesn't "see" the Java installation. Maybe they're trying to launch the app by double-clicking on one of its data files. Maybe they aren't connected to the Internet and it's the first time they're using my app. Or as often happens, maybe it did exactly what it was supposed to do, but since it didn't "look" like the type of install that they're used to, they think that it didn't work!
    These issues have seriously tempted me to give up on Java Web Start. But then I realised that it would solve a lot of problems if I could direct my users to a page on the Sun website that:
    1. Had a sample Java Web Start app they could try running, and
    2. Provided information to help non-technical users diagnose most problems they might encounter.
    Virtually all of the information I've found about Java Web Start is targeted toward the person who is developing or deploying the application. And the one sample web start app I've found on Sun's website (http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/JavaLP/javawebstart/AutoInstallDemo.html) is for Windows only. I need a way to support my Mac users. (Fortunately, all my Linux users are techies!)
    So how about it? Or is there already such a page, and I just haven't found it yet?

    That's one reason I never use any derivation of the word
    "Captivate" in my screen name. I could never live up to
    expectations created by the name . . . but who expects
    anything from a cat? Hah!
    Okay El_Captivato, I won't pick on you any more - matter of
    fact, let me welcome you to the Captivate User Community!!
    Yes you can have the results email to your email address if
    that's what you want. If your users are going to take the "quiz"
    from an on-line (web) location, there are going to be problems with
    both web-based mail services because the email scoring
    notification option is a simple Java-script invoking the "mailto"
    command. And of course, those without an email account are a
    special problem because they have no way to "mail" the results to
    you , and you would have no way of knowing who they came from
    anyway.
    Have a greeat day!

  • What are the major challenges for the end-user in using Positive Time Management

    Hi Seniors,
    Can anybody please provide me some data on the same.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Positive time management is slightly difficult to implement compared to negative time management.
    In negative time management, you use planned working times + deviations in time evaluation.
    In positive time management, you record actual times through time recording system. You have to bring these times to SAP through an interface and then evaluate the actual times against the planned times and accordingly pay them out. You would need to pay attention regarding the integration between SAP R/3 and time recording system.
    Building rules for positive time management is slightly more challenging compared to negative time management.
    Kindly go through the below documents on positive time management which will give you more idea about the same.
    Integration of Time Recording Terminals with SAP R/3
    Determination of First Clock In & Last Clock Out in Positive Time Evaluation
    Late Coming, Early Going and Unauthorized absence
    Prorated Grant of Absence Quota for Contract Period in Time Evaluation
    Splitting of Overtime Hours after X Hours in Time Evaluation
    Rounding off Overtime Hours Generated via T510S table in Time Evaluation
    Public Holiday Calendar and Work Schedule Rules
    I hope these are helpful to you.
    Thanks and regards,
    Vivek Barnwal

  • I want to enter the password for a secure WIFI network on several iphones.  If I do this, can the end users somehow extract the ip address and password for the wifi network from the iphone and use it from a pc (at home, for example)?

    I want to enter the password for a secured wifi network on several iphones.  If I do this, is it possible for the end users to somehow extract the ip address and password information and use it from a pc/laptop/other mobile device.  For security reasons, I don't want them to be able to to this.
    Please advise,
    Thanks.

    If you look at the top left of your screen you will either see a 3G (or 4G if you have AT&T) or you will see the wi-fi symbol.  If you don't see the wi-fi symbol you are connecting to Gmail through your cellular data plan, not via wi-fi.
    To answer your question, it doesn't happen often but when it does the steps I mentioned above will normally resolve it.  Hopefully you won't have any further problem with this.

  • How to hide the columns at the end user level thru personalization

    Hi all
    how I can hide the columns that are displayed on the portal. Any personalize option for the end user? Any righ click or some thing?
    I am looking at hiding columns not while developing the iViews / Pages, But in the browsers as the end user.
    i can hide the columns what ever i want while creating the iViews for MDM data. but we cant provide the content administrator role to the end user for hiding the columns what ever they want. they want to hide the columns thru pesonalization option at the end user level.
    Can you please let me know whether we can able to hide the columns at the end user level thru personalization ?? is it posible with standard iViews??
    Regards
    Sunil

    Hi Sunil,
    I understood your requirement properly and seems valid and I tried this at my end but i didnt get the solution. Field list is not visible in Personalize option. I dont think it is possible with MDM standard iViews.
    I was thinking an alternative is if some how we manage to give the permissions to end user only on Result Set iView but if it would be possible it will not be a good design.
    Lets wait for some inputs from others.

    I ran across the same error today. Since it's been over a month, I assume you've fixed it already or decided you didn't need it at all? What was your fix?
    For me, I noted that in the sample directory, a similar "createView" call (in End User Anonymous Enrollment) also includes this argument:
    <Argument name='viewId' value='User'/>
    When I added that to my createView call, the "Missing view id" error went away, and the user are gets created.
    I'm not entirely comfortable with the value specified, though; seems like view IDs should be more unique. I would have thought it should have been something like this instead:
    <Argument name='viewId' value='User:$(accountId)'/>
