Official BPM 11g API

In the Mastering BPM Series there was a presentation yesterday about using the BPM 11g API. Can anybody point me to the official Oracle BPM 11g API? In particular the webinar used oracle.bpm.client.* and oracle.bpm.services.*. I suppose I can hunt for the jars and look inside, but is that really how Oracle intends for it to be used?

Heidi,
I downloaded the Feature Set upgrade and it looks like there is a Java API in there. I assume that includes the Feature Set which is a superset of 11.1.1.5.

  • BPM 11g API

    Has anyone been able to find documentation on the BPM 11g API? I thought there was a Java-based API available so I can integrate a Java-based web app into my BPM project. Anyone found a link for it?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Since the activies of process in BPM11g is implemented by Human Task component, we can control the task with Workflow Service API.
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/apirefs.1111/e10660/toc.htm
    However, this is not a real BPM API. Some process scale function is not exposed.
    Hope oracle will release something like PAPI soon.

  • BPM 11g: JAVA API and Webservice API

    Who knows BPM 11g: JAVA API and Webservice API?
    Customer want to call BPM 11g between Heterogeneous systems, such .net framework. One way is use webservice API, I think, but where can find it? thank you

    When you create a BPM application in 11g, you're actually creating a SOA composite application with a BPMN component in the composite. From within the BPMN editor, you can specify the interface (parameters) of each start node in the process. If you select a start node, look at the implementation tab, you'll see a properties group that lets you define the interface one property at a time, or by selecting an interface from the catalog.
    By defining these properties you're also defining the shape of the Web Service interface that will automatically be created in the composite. If you switch to the composite view, you'll see your BPMN process with a wire to it from a Web Service that's generated from the interface defined in the BPMN editor. The naming convention is the BPMN process name with ".service" appended. When you deploy the BPMN process, the web service will also be deployed, since it's also part of the composite. From Enterprise Manager (EM) you can test the service and get the WSDL, which could be used by other applications (e.g. .NET) to start and interact with a process instance.
    This is one of the advantages of the 11g architecture. The composite exposes services to consumers/clients. The implementation could have been BPEL, BPMN, a Mediator, Java/EJBs, or any combination working together. To the consumer, it's just a web service.
    In case your next question was about security ... you won't see properties about security in the BPMN editor. You use Web Service Manager to apply security or other constraints to the web service endpoint.

  • Invoking bpel process from java in oracle soa/bpm 11g

    Hi,
    We have some java code to invoke bpel process in oracle BPM 10g following the instructions in http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/integrate.1012/b14448/invoke.htm.
    Basically the steps are:
    1) get a Locator (com.oracle.bpel.client.Locator)
    2) get IDeliveryService (com.oracle.bpel.client.delivery.IDeliveryService) reference from locator
    3) call IDeliveryService method request or post with input message and get the response back.
    Recently we want to migrated from oracle bpm 10g to oracle soa/bpm 11g. But I can not find the similar API in 11g. It seems now some adapter/binding need to be added in exposed service lane in soa composite view, for example, ADF-BC, direct binding etc, in order to allow java to invoke a bpel process. Here are two very useful links from Edwin about the detail how this is implemented.

    My question is:
    1) what are the choices and the official/best way to invoke a bpel process in oracle soa/bpm 11g from java?
    2) does user need to add an adapter/binding in exposed service lane in order to let the bpel service be called in java?
    3) what is the real difference between a bpm application and soa application in 11g?
    I will really appreciate any expert's opinion.
    Thanks,
    Bin

    Thanks for your reply and confirmation, really appreciate it.
    Yes, I found the difference of the invoking process API and was able to invoke bpel process using direct and ADF-BC binding by following Edwin's blog. But I have not found any official reference to compare this API difference between 10g and 11g ( I will mark this question as answered if anyone can find an official source from oracle, need to prove it to the team). The API to work with human task workflow seems pretty much the same between 10g and 11g.

  • Display the status of parallel human tasks in ADF web page (BPM 11g)

    Hi,
    We create a BPMN process (BPM 11g) which splits into parallel branches. Each branch has its own user activity. We want to show the task status of ALL the parallel user activities (running or completed) in the ADF web page implemented for the user activity so the user would have the whole picture of the process.
    In another words, we are able to check the status of the component instances associated with the process instance in the Oracle EM. We want to provide the similar information (in our case, we only want to show the status of the human task components) to the user when they access the human task page.
    I wonder if the only solution is to write Java code with the API to lookup the BPMN process instance. We try to avoid Java coding if possible. Please advise. Also, so far, I have not found any complete instruction/document on how to access the BPMN process instance and check the tasks etc. through the API. Please help if you know where I could get such information.
    Thanks a lot,
    Helen

  • How to get the assignees for a specific role in process in BPM 11g

    Hi, Gurus,
    I am using BPM 11g. I am trying to retrieve all the assignees for a a specific role in process. It will be a parameter for a business rule to do further routing rule. But it seems there is no way to get the information. I found that there are Identity Service Functions in Human Task Assignment. But Identity Service Functions are not listed in Business Rule Activity, neither listed in other activities except Human Task Assignment. I cannot get the assignees in my process.
    Is there any way to get all the assignees for a role? I also tried to retrieve the assignees out engine with Worklist API, but it cannot get either. Actually we can get all the assignees information in automatic activity in OBPM 10g. Maybe I am still not familiar with 11g. Any advice is appreciated.
    FYI:
    My scenario:
    Suppose we have a role named ApprovalTeam. In this role, there will be several different department manager (BPM User) added in the role through Workspace. At run time, a request (With department info) with go through the approval by ApprovalTeam. A Business Rule Activity with decide which department manager will approve this request. Different department request will be dispatched dedicate managers, not all the managers in the role. I have an external JavaBean to get the department information from LDAP. To do the routing, I also need know all the department managers (BPM User) in the ApprovalTeam role. Then I can compare which department manager is matched with the request and assign the task to him.
    Thanks a lot,

  • Getting user name of person logged into workspace in BPM 11g.

    What API and method calls can we use to determine who is logged into BPM 11g? Since many people can be assigned a role or human task (using dynamic task assignments) how can we determine who the actual user is?
    The use case is a user logs into the workspace and executes human tasks assigned to him/her. In the ADF UI, we are using database controls to view, update and create records in database associated with this task. The tables have audit information like, LAST_MODIFIED_BY and MODIFIED_DATE. These fields or columns need to be updated with the user ID and current system date when data changes in the tables.
    The problem is that I know how to get the user who the task is assigned to, but if the user is a delegate or process owner, how do we know? Also if many people are assigned to the human task, how do we find which one is actually working on the human task? In other words the current logged in user?
    In the ADF task flow, I have access to an object SystemAttributesType that contains a lot of useful information, like the list of assignees. The problem is it doesn't seem to give me information about who is actually working on it (logged in user). Here's a code snippet for how I got this object. It is a method in a managed bean associated with the task flow.
    public List getAssignees() throws IOException {
    FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    String ctx = (String) context.getApplication().evaluateExpressionGet(context,
    "#{pageFlowScope.bpmWorklistContext}", String.class);
    String tskId = (String)context.getApplication().evaluateExpressionGet(context,
    "#{pageFlowScope.bpmWorklistTaskId}", String.class);
    IWorkflowServiceClient workflowSvcClient = WorkflowService.getWorkflowServiceClient();
    ITaskQueryService wfQueryService = workflowSvcClient.getTaskQueryService();
    IWorkflowContext wfContext;
    List assignees= "";
    try {
    wfContext = wfQueryService.getWorkflowContext(ctx);
    Task myTask = wfQueryService.getTaskDetailsById(wfContext, tskId);
    Element xmlPayload = (Element) myTask.getPayloadAsElement();
    SystemAttributesType systemAttributes = myTask.getSystemAttributes();
    assignees = systemAttributes.getAssignees();
    return aissignees;
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Instatiating BPM process through BPM 11g workspace

    Hi ,
    I am working on OPBM Sales Quote lab.
    I installed Oracle SOA 11g and set up the BPM SalesQuote demo. I followed the demo setup instructions to add the roles and match them to demo users. I was able to deploy the demo successfully using Jdeveloper. Since the start task for the demo is a none start, I am not sure how to initiate a new instance. I loged in to the workspace as jcopper who's role is the SalesRep (which is the swimlane for the non start task). However, I didn't see any application listed for jcopper. I also loged in as the process owner and didn't see any application listed for him either.
    I even referred to this thread
    How to initiate an instance of the BPM 11g SalesQuote demo?
    When I implemented the "Enter quote details" task, I even set its pattern as "Initiator"?
    Even then Under applications it is empty.
    Any Suggestions is appreciated.

    Hello All,
    Deployment of the "SalesQuoteDemo' demo is over. Logged in to BPM WorkSpace with user “jcooper” but I am not able to see application in the user's BPM Workspace. Verified all the users (and jcooper) and their role in Weblogic Default Realm and everything seems to be OK.
    I have deployed SalesQuoteDemo from this official link of Oracle and have followed all steps. Users/Groups have been created by running a demo seeding program given along with demo.
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/soasuite/samples-demos-084065.html
    I did these steps for verification.
    •     RAM/PermGenSpace seems to be OK and there is no error/exception related to memory.
    •     As per the demo, jcooper is part SalesRep role and it has been verified that both jcooper and SalesRep exists. Mapping also exists. Attaching few screenshots from Oracle Enterprise manager/BPM Workspace/Weblogic Console.
    •     As per the Baig, mentioned that this issue was resolved when new domain was created without webcenter. For me, new domain is somehow not working and deployment are getting failed/suspended/prepared status but I had taken out Webcenter related Managed Server from this Weblogic domain.
    •     Few have mentioned to login to Enterprise manager, select application, select security, role and map the user for every roles. I verified that this already exists.
    Any help/pointers in this regards would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • BPM 11g support process archive

    Hi,
    Is BPM 11g suppots process archive?
    Can anyone help me on that?
    Regards,
    Anandh P

    Hi Raj
    1. Terminate means you want to End that Process no matter where it is at any instance of time. Say if I have BPM Process with 10 SwimLanes it can be at any of the Lanes with any User. I am taking simple Example with Human Tasks, but you can apply for other component like Timer servces etc.
    2. I hope you are aware of 2 things specially for Human Tasks: Action named "Withdraw" and a role named "Process Owner". For any human task, under Actions menu you should See a Withdraw option. You can code your application to capture this output using XOR gateway and if outcome is "WITHDRAW" directly end the process and go to End Node. If you have many places like this, there is easy way instead of running wires eveywhere. Create a simple throw even that goes to End Node. And after each human task check outcome if Withdraw, that that error, which will end the process. I hope you got the point.
    b) The reason I mentioned Process Owner is, generally I do NOT give Withdraw control to each User who can work on any Task. If accidentally that User do this action, thats it. The process ENDS and you can never retriive it back. So under .TASK file, I preven Withdraw action to Asssignee and Instead give this action only to OWNER (Process Owner). Process owner is like admin who can pretty much see any tasks and I would give him all the permissions like these Withdraw, Reassing, Suspend etc etc. This gives more controlled power to your application. Anyhow, in bpm workspace, login as process owner and search for any Task aged for long time and jus Withdraw it.
    You can do all the above using APIs also as far as you have Withdraw action going to the End Node.
    If your requirement is something else, ignore above notes. But still you can think along the above lines, if all you want is to Kill a Running Process anytime.
    Thanks

  • Bpm 11g with ADF R2 UI  for Human Workflow UI

    Hi
    Would like to check if it is possible to develop the ui conponent of an bpm 11g flow in Adf R2, and integrate the developed ui using bpm workspace?

    Would like to check if it is possible to develop the ui conponent of an bpm 11g flow in Adf R2, and integrate the developed ui using bpm workspace?No. the documentation for ADF 11gr2 specifically says use it only if you aren't using any of the SOA/BPM /Webcenter components.
    Having said that, it may not be impossible, but you'd have a number of challenges -
    - Your BPM workspace application would need the ADF 11g R1 runtime so if your human task UI is in 11g r2, you might have to use a custom built worklist app in 11gr2 (just like you'd do in a non-ADF technology).
    - In your ADF 11gR2 UI, you'd need to use the human workflow API's (unless you develop your human task UI in 11g R1 first and then migrate it - which defeats the whole purpose of using R2..)...

  • Question on BPM 11g Workflow Services

    Hi,
    There was no out of the box support feature which would enable the end users ( agents ) to fetch a work item one at a time from some queue . This allocation/fetch would be done on the basis of some algorithm ( SLA, Priority etc ) . We developed this custom feature through the APIs provided in BPM 10g - Process API ( aka PAPI ). Now we have to port this custom feature to Oracle BPM 11g and there is no equivalent support for PAPI available in BPM 11g . There is another API - workflow services , but we are not sure if it will support the same feature as we are struggling to get Oracle BPM 11g installed. Request you to kindly help us in identifying if the same functionality can be achieved in BPM 11g.

    Hi.
    I´m using BPM 11g and i want to send mail to different roles.
    Someone knows how to implement a service to send mail..?

    Human tasks in 11g have some out of the box capabilities for notifications (email being one of the transport mechanisms). For details refer to the documentation:

  • Populating workitems in BPM 11g workspace

    In BPM 10g to create work items we used the API set like *ProcessInstance.create(). We developed load processes to populate work queues and used GLOBAL Activity to run the job. Within the activity we wrote a load sql which pulled data from the database and fired the ProcessInstance.create. That created work items in the work queues. How do you model such a load process in BPM 11g.
    Thanks.
