OID and BPA Suite (publisher module) Compatibility?

I'd like to know if BPA Suite Publisher can use the OID/SSO as user repository and provide security.
Our idea is to publish this module through Oracle Portal.
Best regards.

Confusion about BPM suite and BPA suite

Hi,
I'm very very new to Oracle BPM.
I just checked the website and found Oracle provides two suites - BPM and BPA for business process management. I'm quite confused what's the difference of their usage? It looks to me that they are very similar to each other in functional.
Is there any article that has already explained their difference?
btw: if i want to choose a suite just for modeling, implementation and monitoring purpose, does that mean a BPM suite is more suitable?
Thank you
Lesley

Hi Lesley,
BPA is an robust process modeling tool used by business analysts to model both their processes and the entire enterprise. BPA has many different types of diagrams that let you see the different levels of decomposition and abstraction. As you'd exect, BPA has a robust process simulation capability. If you hit the BPA forum (Business Process Analysis Suite you'll get more information about it from experts in BPA.
Oracle BPM was built and architected from the beginning as full life cycle Business Process Management (BPM) tool. It is similar to BPA in that it supports process modeling, documentation and simulation. I use the same diagram to explain the process to executives, managers, IT, SME and business analysts. As a business analyst, the tool is not complicated and can be learned in just a couple hours.
Here's where the two differ. Oracle BPM was architected from the beginning as a full featured Business Process Management tool that implements and monitors business processes. Its capabilities include:
<li> Logic - BPA is not a BPM tool so it is not intended to support the process logic needed for runtime. To support this, Oracle BPEL is used in conjunction with BPA. As a developer using Oracle BPM, I use templates and drag and drop to create much of my logic. Once I catalog an object it can be reused across multiple projects either by using the Project Dependency option or by importing the artifacts. I test my logic either by using the method editor debugger or at the process level. As I create objects used in my logic using Oracle BPM, I inherit attributes provided by introspected components. This means that if you have an ERP system object with 138 attributes, you do not have to rebuild this object from scratch in Oracle BPM.
<li> Runtime / Execute the Business Processes - End users interact with the processes at runtime using an OOTB Workspace. End users are given various roles. When they log into the Workspace, the end users only see the work item instances that are in the roles that they have been assigned. There is an Engine that stores the work item instance information as it flows through the processes at runtime. The Engine is like a traffic cop, ensuring that the right work item instance goes to the right person in the right activity at the right time.
<li> UI - The End user interface screens and complex end user interaction with a variety of screens can be built inside the Oracle BPM toolset's editor. The forms you build are automatically presented to end users in the Workspace.
<li> Integration to Existing IT Assets - Oracle BPM can expose and consume IT components directly or through a service bus. Once consumed, the components can be used by any process needing to invoke them at runtime.
Hope this helps,
Dan

BPA suite 11g and Jdev 10g

hello,
BPA11G is also compatible with JDEV10 ? I can use Jdev 10g with BPA suite 11g or not ? or we must install Jdev 11g ? (send a document about this)
BR,

Hi,
please install the JDeveloper 11g and apply the newest "BPA Extension for JDeveloper". Install the BPA Extension using the JDeveloper Update Center. From the JDeveloper menu choose Help > Check for Updates. Browse and pick the pcbpel_bundle.zip found in the Oracle BPA Suite 11g Addons.
It is necessary to keep the JDeveloper and BPA Suite version consistent, especially for the major releases 10 or 11. This is because in 11g a BPEL process is part of a SOA Composite, which means the technical concept has been changed as well.
Best regards,
Danilo

Gap analysis between current and future architecture in BPA suite?

We are developing a vision of our enterprise architecture for the next three years, using BPA suite. We do this by describing the current architecture (base) and the future architecture (goal).
Is it possible to somehow link the two (base and future) and generate a report about the differences?
Thanks,
Lonneke

Hello Lonneke,
yes there are a lot of point within the BPA suite that can be used to express exactly what you are planning. E.g. you can maintain installation status related attributes for application system types etc.
So most of the EA related information should be stored in object and model attributes.
But the most important point when building up a "as is" and (like in most cases when it comes to EA modeling) many "to be" scenarios is that you set up your repository right. This will protect you from much additional work later on (e.g. for cleaning up bad structures).
In general follow this structure:
a) clearly separate the different points in time
b) set up clear defined libraries for the static objects
c) define the levels of the EA you need for your specific situation (business architecture, application architecture, information architecture and infrastructure architecture). Keep this levels separated!
There are a few reports provided that could be used to evaluate the differences. Take a closer look at the "Analysis" section within the reports folder of the BPA suite. There are some useful evaluations as well. But never the less you would also have to write some specific reports for your use case(es).
Regards
Dirk

BPA Suite

Hi,
I just started working on BPA Suite and downloaded it from OTN.
Installed Architect and Publisher.
From the Installation and Admin guide we came to know that we need to install the repository and web client also.
But the installation from OTN doesnt have the above components.
I open the BPA Architect designer and try to connect to the local server but failed.
Can anybody tell how to proceed further?
It would be appreciate if anybody post their docs other than installation and admin guide.
Thanks In Advance.

Hi there,
the version on OTN is for evaluation purposes, which does not include the "external" repository. If you'd like to test BPA you can use the LOCAL server, which has exactly the same functionality. It comes with the installation and the only restriction is that you will have everything on one machine. Keep the Architect open when you try to connect to the LOCAL repository from JDev.
After BPA installation I always run a check through the BPA Suite Admintool. Make sure that your XE db is up and running. Open the Admintool and connect to the LOCAL server via:
* server LOCAL SITEADMIN (case sensitive)
Run the following commands to create and display a test-database on the Local server:
* createdb NAME DBADMIN
* list
Can you see the DB? Check out the logfiles via:
* download logs C:\tmp
If the steps above could be performed, open the Business Architect, go to the Explorer module and click on the already existing LOCAL server. A popup window appears --> "Starting standard database system...". After the server has been started try to add a new database and so on...
If the steps above are not working have a look to the log-files under: <BPA HOME>\LocalServer\log.
Hope it helps,
Danilo.

Business Process Repository Server and Business Process Publisher

Hello,
How to install "Business Process Repository Server" and "Business Process Publisher"?
Tanks
Daniela

Hi,
Both business publisher and process repository are available in CD2 of BPA Suite complete (for windows OS).
Important step before installing the business process repository is that you must have installed the database. Or else you must have installed BPA with OracleLite or XE database. At the time Business process repository installation you need to choose the database option 1 if Oracle enterprise data base is installed, else you may choose option 2 which says you already have BPA installed with database.

JDeveloper to BPA Suite Error

Hi there,
when I try to save my model to the bpa server in JDeveloper I get the following error: (Update BPMN Model checked)
java.lang.Exception: script ModelImport.js, line 141: Jdeveloper proposed model available in Oracle Business Process Architect, please accept or reject the proposed model. (ModelImport.js#141)

Although the BPA Suite notifcates me that the IT updated the process, there are no improvement proposals.
Has anybody had the same error? Is there a solution or workaround?

Have you teested teh IIOP connectivity with the session shell
(sess_sh)? Make sure that this works. The Connection URL will
look like:
sess_iiop://machine_ip_address:port:SID
If you are going through the listener (and the listener must be
configured to listen for IIOP) or like this:
sess_iiop://machine_ip_address:port
If you are going directly to the MTS Dispatcher port. You can see
what this port is by using the following command:
LSNRCTL services
See which port the presentation
oracle.aurora.server.SGiopServer
is on and use that port number. You do not use a SID when
connecting directly to the MTS dispatcher port since an MTS
dispatcher is specific to a given instance.

Functionalty depth of BPA Suite(demo)

Hi,
I want to know the functionality depth of BPA suite, in laymans terms. Actually I am looking to design my organisations' all exsisting operational processes, interlink them, assign stakeholders and then deploy them to be visible to organisational heads to be reviewed. Currently i'll do this using the demo version and once organisational heads are able to see something, i am sure i'll be able convince them to get a buy this piece of software. But the question is will i'll be able to do all this using the demo version, is the demo version capable of all this?
Thnx in advance

Hi,
most of it can be done with the actual demo version. You can:
- design you processes (I would recommend the diagram types Value Chain Diagram and EPC + Functional Allocation Diagrams)
- to link them together on a horizontal level use the "Process Interface" Object within the EPC
- to link them together on a vertical level use the assignment functionality
- to express stakeholders first create an organizational chart diagram as library and then reuse the objects of this library within the dynamic models (Value Chain, EPC and FAD)
Regarding the review, the demo does not provide the publishing component yet. So it is not possible to create a web like export out of your model.
Two possible workarounds
a) Install the BPA suite for everyone who should review the output. Then you can use the build in "review function" of the BPA. This is a nice feature to give feedback on diagrams
b) Create printed output. Due to the fact that the BPA is only delivered with standard reports the look and feel is mostly not usable for management purposes. So you might have the need to develop your own report (possible with the demo version but you need BPA scripting know how)

Price of BPA Suite to Individual Developer

Hello,
I am a new JDeveloper user and would like to work on adding BPMN and BPEL to my personal skill set. I was just getting ready to install the BPA Suite when I noticed that there is a 90 time limit on the developer version. I was wondering if anyone could give me a "ballpark estimate" as to the price of the BPA Suite if I want to just use it on a single box for my own personal use.
Thanks,
Bob Scott

ODI 11.1 RKM E-Business Suite Knowledge Module??

I downloaded and installed the companion, I see many knowledge modules but not the "RKM E-Business Suite" Knowledge Module..
The documentation refers specifically to it by that name. Does it go by another name in ODI 11.1.1?
Thank you,
Jz

Which companion have you downloaded. I recently downloaded Oracle Data Integrator Companion 11gR1 (11.1.1.5.2) version and that has got RKM E-Business Suite.

WSMAN CredSSP TLS 1.2 support and cipher suites

Hi all,
The protocol document [MS-CSSP] explains the first base64 encoded token send in the authenticate from the client to the server is a TLS Client Hello. The response is a ServerHello.
The diagram in section 4 'Protocol Examples' of the document indicates the ServerHello has a cipher suite of TLS_RSA_WITH_RC_128_SHA. The TLS version and cipher suites are not mentioned anywhere else in the document.
So lets take a look a network packet capture of a CredSSP authentication between a winrm.exe client and a Windows 2008 R2 server. I have base64 decoded the contents of the CredSSP Authorization headers,
The ClientHello bytes (without the extensions) send by my client are:
16 03 01 00 6B 01 00 00 67 03 01 54 DB 64 77 22
A2 1C A3 23 93 61 3B 00 1B DE 1C 6D 42 34 94 8D
1D 44 2C 64 8B 42 AC 41 B4 E2 DE 00 00 14 00 2F
00 35 00 0A C0 13 C0 14 C0 09 C0 0A 00 32 00 38
00 13 01 00 00 2A FF 01 00 01 00 00 00 00 11 00
0F 00 00 0C
Decoding this we can see that this is TLS 1.0 {03, 01}, taking a look at the ciphers we have:
TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA 0x00 0x2F
TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA 0x00 0x35
TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA 0x00,0x0A
TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA 0xC0,0x13
TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA 0xC0,0x14
TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA 0xC0,0x09
TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA 0xC0,0x0A
TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA 0x00,0x32
TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA 0x00,0x38
TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA 0x00,0x13
Now lets look at the ServerHello (without the extensions)
16 03 01 02 3C 02 00 00 4D 03 01 54 DB 64 78 73
92 C6 86 A3 F8 FF 3D D4 36 77 C0 FC 80 61 3F 4D
8C BC 60 CD BC 4D B1 1C 4A CF 0A 20 DA 14 00 00
38 11 DB C9 1C D0 8C 76 E7 A0 B9 F7 A5 D4 94 DF
8B 83 38 B3 FF EB AA 65 EB 23 03 0A 00 2F 00 00
05 FF 01 00 01 00 0B 00 01 E3 00 01 E0 00 01 DD

31 29 30 27 06 03 55 04 03 13 20
The server responds with TLS 1.0 and selected cipher (0x00 0x2F)
TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA
Based on this I created a WSMan CredSSP client using Python and OpenSSL and configured it to use TLS 1.2. I found the Windows server always responded with TLS 1.0. So, I configured my OpenSSL client for TLS 1.0 and set the cipherlist to AES128-SHA (like winrs.exe).
The CredSSP TLS handshake completes, but the first ASN.1 encoded TSRequest token (containing an NTLM negotiate token) is rejected. However, if my openssl cipherlist is set to RC4, the TSRequest token is accepted and authentication is successful.
This raises several questions:
1. Despite sending a TLS 1.2 ClientHello the WSMan CredSSP Server always responded with TLS 1.0 ServerHello. A number of security experts consider this version effectivly broken. Does CredSSP support TLS 1.2?
2. I can authenticate with CredSSP using openssl 'RC4' cipher suites - but not with AES128-SHA suites. Are suites besides RC4 supported (winrs.exe appears to use AES).
Thanks
Ian

Forum Update:
I can now answer my 2nd question. The reason CredSSP is rejecting my TSRequest token when using AES128-SHA is because this ciphersuite is using CBC.
Some years ago OpenSSL added empty fragments to SSLv3 and TLS 1.0 packets to address a potential security vulnerability. These empty fragments are not compatible with Microsofts SChannel implementation so Windows is unable to decrypt the data. OpenSSL added
a compatibility flag SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS (0x00000800L) that must be set in the openssl client's context options to address this issue with Microsofts implementation. Once I set this option my python openssl client successfully authenticated
with a Windows 2012 R2 server using ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA - much better.
Question 1 is still unanswered. Is TLS 1.2 with CredSSP supported?

Sequence diagram lifeline in Oracle BPA Suite

I try to create sequence diagram in Oracle Busines Process Architect 11g. I use type of model "UML Sequence diagram". But in palette there is no object with type "Lifeline". How can I add lifelines to my sequence diagram?

i guess you are clicking on file>new>model , or something like that.
y dont you first go to designer/explorer , make sure you see the navigator frame, and click on "local" in navigator frame to start the local database first. adn then login to any database to create a model/group.
In case it does not even happen then, and it still says unable to start the local server, check out the logs in <Oracle BPA Suite>\LocalServer\log directory and check what the error is.

Scope of simulation in BPA suite

Hi,
What is the scope of simulation in BPA suite.
* If we provide processing time and/or cost involved in each fuctional lock, then while simulation, we can get an analysis based on this.
* Simulation can identify few weak points in your business process. But how is a weak point identified. Any rule available for this?
Apart from this what is the significance of Simulation in BPA. Can it provide any other useful inference or suggestion, that can help improving the process.
Thanks,
Vishnupriya

Hi Vishnupriya,
"how do we find the critical path using BPA suite." You can perform a cost and/or a time analysis - it depends on your preferences. A disadvantage of the cost analysis is, that the cost attributes can only be defined for functions. It is not possible to specify relation-dependent costs (e.g. different costs if a function is performed by a manager or a clerk). Below I am concentrating on a time analysis.
a) Identify bottlenecks
After you performed the simulation you need to analyse the statistics. Each object type has its own simulation attributes - check the help section under "What simulation-relevant object types exist" to get further information. For comparison the following categories/attributes are very useful indicators to identify bottlenecks:
* Processes (cumul.): Created processes, Completed processes, Process folders in static wait state and Process folders in dynamic wait state
* Events (cumul.): Activations
* Functions (cumul.): Process folders in dynamic wait state
* Processes (det.): Throughput time (min.), Throughput time (max.)
Hint: Increasing throughput times, high dynamic wait time sums and a high degree of utilization (for human resources) are indicators of bottlenecks.
b) Identify modeling faults
E.g.: If you have a gateway in your model and the "Process folders received" is always equal to "Process folders waiting" it means that the gateway cannot be passed. Normally it indicates a deadlock situation and you should check that each split in your model is properly joined. The issue can also be considered at the "Degree of activation", which will be equal to zero. Use the semantic check to ensure that your model-format is correct.
"how to do this comparison"Compare the relevant attributes (times, costs) of your As-Is and To-Be models. You have several options to perform the comparison:
a) create charts of both simulation runs
b) check the simulation statistics of both simulation runs
c) use the ARIS report functionality or create a user-defined report to extract the simulation results

Danilo

BPA Suite 11g Installation halts at Step 10

Hello,
I have downloaded BPA Suite 11G from OTN. The installation of BPA suite halts at step 10. No error occures. I was waiting for 10-15 minutes to finish the installation. I am using 11G data base installed along with R12.1 on the virtual machine.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Pankaj

Thanks Ashish,
I checked the charsets and tried to update the database charset to match it with BPA suite documentation. However, could not update it as the documentaton charset was not super set of database charaset.
However, after restarting the computer and database the issue got resolved.
Thanks again for your help,
Pankaj
