Oracle BPM - FDI Directory?

Hi,
Can any one explain the functionality and explanation of the FDI directory in Oracle BPM?
Regards,
Anandh P

HI Anand,
FDI plays an important role in the BPM. FDI contains all the directory information like Participants, Roles, Groups, Oraganisation etc. When synced up with LDAP, all the participants information is stored in FDI DB. FDI also contains BPM specific Participents Id and Role Id mappings. Users when logged into BPM, it gets authenticated with FDI database.

Configuring Oracle BPM 10gr3, Directory with ALUI 6.5 portal LDAP

Hi,
we are trying to create a directory service using Active LDAP. We have ALUI v6.5 with PT LDAP service unabled.
I'm not able to complete the process of configuration. It is giving 'Invalid username and password' error for BPM Administrator fields.
We tried with few users exists in the LDAP, but no luck.
Can you please help me in this regard.
Thank you,
Sarma

Hi!
I had a similar problem with 200K + users in LDAP. However, I cannot change de base DN to include search base (like exemple below). I have a lot of users distribute in diferents OU in my active directory server. Does anybody know how can I solve this problem?????
Note: in weblogic server is possible to configure active directory provider to list user from a specific OU and groups from other OU. Is it possible to oracle BPM enterprise ?
Por exemple:
ldap://active_directory_server:3268/DC=mycomp,DC=com,DC=br -------------->
ldap://active_directory_server:3268/OU=Users,OU=Rio,OU=TI,DC=mycomp,DC=com,DC=br.
Thanks.

Oracle BPM directory database

Hi,
IHAC that has a custom application to manage their users and roles. They are using Oracle BPM and they want to keep creating, managing and authenticating user with that application, that is not a LDAP.
How can I syncronize the creation/updating/deleting/ of users in their application with the Oracle BPM Directory? I have been looking for Oracle BPM Directory schema documentation but I haven't found anything
I know that activating SSO I could manage the user authentication but I still have the issue about users administration
thanks in advance

Hi
In OBPM 10gR3 we can create the participants & manage & update user roles dynamically using the FDI components.
simple solution to your requirement is check the user roles in both the application DB & in FDI database & write your code accordingly.
To check the participant existance in directory DB:
//=======FDI Participant verfication=======
Fuego.Lib.Participant primary = Participant.find(name : "participant_id"));.
If the above value is null then create a new participant & assign the roles using the below code.
i. Participant Creation : Fuego.FDI. DirHumanParticipant
Ans: // Reuse Engine session to the Directory
session = DirectorySession.currentEngineSession
// Load the Organization Unit to which the participant will belong to
myOU = DirOrganizationalUnit.fetch(dir : session, id : "Dallas")
// Load the Role that the participant will have assigned,
// and create a role assignment for it
myRole = DirOrganizationalRole.fetch(session : session, id : "Role1")
myAssignment[] = RoleAssignment.create(role : myRole, permissions : 255)
// Create the new participant.
myparticipant = DirHumanParticipant.create(
session : session, id : "example_participant",
firstName : "NewName",
lastName : "NewLastname,
displayName : "NewLastname, NewName",
mail : "[email protected]",
telephone : "0000000000",
fax : "1111111111",
password : "secret",
ou : myOU, rolesAssignment : myAssignment,
enabled : true)
// set it NOT to receive emails when new instances arrive to
// this participant inbox:
myparticipant using receivesMail = false
ii. Role Assign / Update : Fuego.Fdi : RoleAssignment.
Ans:
// fetch all roles
mySession = DirectorySession.currentEngineSession
allroles = DirOrganizationalRole.fetchAll(session : mySession)
// Generate array of RoleAssignments for all non-parametric Roles
for each r in allroles
do
aRole = DirOrganizationalRole.fetch(session : mySession, id : r.id)
if not aRole.parametric then
newAssignments[] = RoleAssignment.create(role : aRole,
permissions : 255)
end
end
// Replace role assignments for this participant
currentPart = DirHumanParticipant.fetch(session : mySession,
id : Participant.id)
currentPart.rolesAssignment = newAssignments
update currentPart
For reference go through the this link: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13154_01/bpm/docs65/standard_components/index.html
I hope this might help.
Thanks

Oracle BPM directory databse

I have a problem in updating the participant roles. The code goes like :
mySession = DirectorySession.currentEngineSession
roleA = DirOrganizationalRole.fetch(session : mySession, id : "Role A")
roleB = DirOrganizationalRole.fetch(session : mySession, id : "Role B")
partB = DirHumanParticipant.fetch(session : mySession, id : "B")
newRoleAssignment[] = RoleAssignment.create(role : roleA, permissions : 1)
partB.rolesAssignment = newRoleAssignment
update partB ----(This statement gives an exception)
everything runs fine before the update statement(in bold)...
'update partB' statement gives an exception : java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
I am executing this on Oracle BPM Studio Version..Is this the case taht it should be executed on enterprise version..????
Thanks in advance
Ravi

Without looking into previous projects, Your code looks correct... And I do recall it not functioning in studio. Give it a try in an enterprise environment, and let us know of your success/failure, and I'll look back into what I had to do if needed!

Oracle BPM Process Data mart

I am required to create audit reports on BPM workflows.
I am new to thid & need some guidance on configuring BPM Process Data mart. What are the pre-requisites for configuring it & what are the steps to do it.
Also, need some inputs on BAM database. What is the frequency of data upload. Is it data update or insert in BAM.

Hi,
You might want to check out the Administration and Configuration Guides on http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13154_01/bpm/docs65/index.html.
I suspect you might find the BAM and Data Mart portions of this documentation a bit terse, so I've added the steps below that provides more detail. I wrote this for ALBPM 6.0, but believe it will still work for Oracle BPM 10g. It was created from an earlier ALBPM 5.7 document Support wrote called "ALBPM 5_7 Configuring and Troubleshooting the BAM and DataMart Updater.pdf.
You can define how often you want the contents in both databases updated (actually inserted) and how long you want to persist the contents of the BAM database during the configuration.
Here's the contents of the document:
1. Introduction
The use of BAM (Business Activity Monitoring) and Data Mart (or Warehouse) information is becoming more and more widespread in today’s BPM project implementations for the obvious benefits they bring to the management and tuning of processes.
BAM is basically composed by a collection of measurements of current processes load and execution times. This gives us an idea of how the business is doing at this moment (in a pseudo real-time fashion).
Data Mart, on the other hand, is a historical view of the processes load and execution times. And this gives us an idea of how the business has developed since the moment the projects have been put in place.
In this document we are not going to describe exhaustively all configuration aspects of the BAM and Data Mart Updater, but rather we will quickly move from one configuration step to another paying more attention to subjects that have presented some difficulties in real-life projects.
2. Creating the Service Endpoints
The databases for BAM and for Data Mart first have to be defined in the External Resources section of the BPM Process Administrator.
In this following example the service endpoint ‘BAMJ2EEWL’ is being defined. This definition is going to be used later as BAM storage. At this point nothing is created.
Add an External Resource with the name ‘BAMJ2EEWL’ and, as we use Oracle, select the Oracle driver, then click <Next>:
On the following screen, specify:
· the hostname – here I have used ‘localhost’ as I am just setting this up to work on my laptop
· the port for the Oracle service
· the SID – here I have use Oracle Express so the SID is ‘XE’
· the new user to create / use in Oracle for this database – here I have specified ‘BPMBAM’. This user, and its database, will be created later
· the password for the user
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click <Save>.
In addition to a standard JDBC connection that is going to be used by the Updater Service, a remote JDBC configuration needs to be added as the Engine runs in a WebLogic J2EE container. This Data Source is needed to grant the Engine access over BAM tables thru the J2EE Connection Pool instead of thru a dedicated JDBC. The following is an example of how to set this up.
Add an External Resource with the name ‘BAMremote’ and select the Oracle driver, then click <Next>
On the following screen, specify:
· the Lookup Name that will be used subsequently in WebLogic - here I have given it the name ‘XAbamDS’
Then click <Save>.
In the next example the definition ‘DWHJ2EEWL’ is created to be used later as Data Mart storage. If you are not going to use a Data Mart storage you can skip this step.
Add an External Resource with the name ‘DWHJ2EEWL’ and select the Oracle driver, then click <Next>:
On the following screen, specify:
· the hostname – here I have used ‘localhost’ as I am just setting this up to work on my laptop
· the port for the Oracle service
· the SID – here I have use Oracle Express so the SID is ‘XE’
· the new user to create / use in Oracle for this database – here I have specified ‘BPMDWH’. This user, and its database, will be created later
· the password for the user
3. Configuring BAM Updater Service
Once the service endpoint has been created the next step is to enable the BAM update, select the service endpoint to be used as BAM storage and configure update frequency and others. Here the “Updater Database Configuration” is the standard JDBC we configured earlier and the “Runtime Database Configuration” is the Remote JDBC as we are using the J2EE Engine.
So, here’s the example of how to set up the BAM Updater service….
Go into ‘Process Monitoring’ and select the ‘BAM’ tab and enter the relevant information (using the names created earlier – use the drop down list to select):
Note that here, to allow me to quickly test BAM reporting, I have set the update frequency to 1 minute. This would not be the production setting.
Once the data is input, click <Save>.
We now have to create the schema and related tables. For this we will open the “Manage Database” page that has appeared at the bottom of the BAM screen (you may have to re-select that Tab) and select to create the database and the data structure. The user required to perform this operation is the DB system administrator:
Text showing the successful creation of the database and data structures should appear.
Once we are done with the schema creation, we can move to the Process Data Mart configuration screen to set up the Common Updater Service parameters. Notice that the service has not been started yet… We will get to that point later.
4. Configuring Process Data Mart Updater Service
In the case that Data Mart information is not going to be used, the “Enable Automatic Update” checkbox must be left off and the “Runtime Database Configuration” empty for this service. Additionally, the rest of this section can be skipped.
In the case it is going to be used, the detail level, snapshot time and the time of update should be configured; in addition to enabling the updater and choosing the storage configuration. An example is shown below:
Still in ‘Process Monitoring’, select the ‘Process Data Mart’ tab and enter the name created earlier (use the drop down list to select).
Also, un-tick the Generate O3 Cubes (see later notes):
Then click <Save>.
Once those properties have been configured the database and the data structure have to be created. This is performed at the “Manage Database” page for which the link has appeared at the bottom of the page (as with BAM). Even when this page is identical to the one shown above (for the BAM configuration) it has been opened from the link in the “Process Data Mart” page and this makes it different.
Text showing the successful creation of the database and data structures should appear.
5. Configuring Common Updater Service Parameters
In the “Process Data Mart” tab of the Process Monitoring section -along with the parameters that are specific to the Data Mart - we will find some parameters that are common to all services. These parameters are:
• Log directory: location of the log file
• Messages logged from Data Store Updater: severity level of the Updater logs
• Language
• Generate Performance Metrics: enables performance metrics generation
• Generate Workload Metrics: enables workload metrics generation
• Generate O3 Cubes: enables O3 Cubes generation
In this document we are not going to describe in detail each parameter. But we will mention a few caveats:
a. the Log directory must be specified in order for the logs to be generated
b. the Messages logged from Data Store Updater, which indicates the level
of the logs, should be DEBUG for troubleshooting and WARNING otherwise
c. Performance and Workload Metrics need to be on for the typical BAM usage and, even when either metric might not be used on the initial project releases, it is recommended to leave them on in case they turn out to be useful in the future
d. the Generation of O3 Cubes must be off if this service is not used, otherwise the Data Mart Updater service might not work properly .
The only changes required on this screen was to de-select the ‘Generate O3 Cubes’ as shown in the last section.
6. Set up the WebLogic configuration
We need to set up the JDBC data source specified above, so go to Services / JDBC / Data Sources.
Click on <Lock and Edit> and then <New> to add a New data source.
Specify:
· the Name – use the name you set up in the Process Administrator
· the JNDI Name – again use the name you set up in the Process Administrator
· the Database Type – Oracle
· use the default Oracle Database Driver
Then click <Next>
On the next screen, click <Next>
On the next screen specify:
· the Database Name – this is the SID – for me that is XE
· the Host Name – as I am running on my laptop, I’ve just specified ‘localhost’
· the Database User Name and Password – this is the BAM database user specified in the Process Administrator
Then click <Next>
On the next screen, you can test the configuration to make sure you have got it right, then click <Next>
On the next screen, select your server as the target server and click <Finish>:
Finally, click <Activate Changes>.
7. The Last Step: Starting Up and Shutting Down the Updater Service
ALBPM distribution is different depending on the Operating System. In the case of the Updater Service:
- For Unix like Operating Systems the service is started or stopped with the albpmwarehouse.sh shell script. The command in this case is going to look like this:
$ALBPM_HOME/bin$ ./albpmwarehouse.sh start
- For Windows Operating Systems the service is installed or uninstalled as a Windows Service with the albpmwarehouse.bat batch file. The command will look like:
%ALBPM_HOME%\bin> albpmwarehouse.bat install
After installing the service, it has to be started|stopped from the Microsoft Management Console. Note also that Windows will start automatically the installed service when the computer starts. In either case the location of the script is ALBPM_HOME/bin Where ALBPM_HOME is the ALBPM installation directory. An example will be:
C:\bea\albpm6.0\j2eewl\bin\albpmwarehouse.bat
8. Finally: Running BAM dashboards to show it is Working
Now we have finally got the BAM service running, we can run dashboards from within Workspace and see the results:
9. General BAM and Data Mart Caveats
a. The basic difference between these two collections of measurements is that BAM keeps track of current processes load and execution times while Data Mart contains a historical view of those same measurements. This is why BAM information is collected frequently (every minute) and cleared out every several hours (or every day) and why Data Mart is updated infrequently (once a day) and grows indefinitely. Moreover, BAM measurements can be though of as a minute-by-minute sequence of Engine Events snapshots, while Data Mart measurements will be a daily sequence of Engine Events snapshots.
b. BAM and Data Mart table schemas are very similar but they are not the same. Thus, it is important not to use a schema created with the Manage Database for BAM as Data Mart storage or vice-versa. If these schemas are exchanged by mistake, the updater service will run anyway but no data will be added to the tables and there will be errors in the log indicating that the schema is incorrect or that some tables could not be found.
c. BAM and Data Mart Information and Services are independent from one another. Any of them can be configured and running without the other one. The information is extracted directly from the Engine Database (PPROCINSTEVENT table is the main source of info) for both of them.
d. So far there has not been a mention of engines, projects or processes in any of the BAM or Data Mart configurations. This is because the metrics of all projects published under the current Process Administrator (or, more precisely, FDI Directory) are going to be collected.
e. It is also important to note that only activities for which events are generated are going to be measured (and therefore, shown in the metrics). The project default is to generate events only for Interactive activities. This can be changed for any particular activity and for the whole process (where the activity setting, when specified, overrides the process setting). Unfortunately, there is no project setting for events generation so far; thus, remember to edit the level of event generation for every new process that is added to the project.
f. BAM and Data Mart metrics are usually enriched with Business Variables. These variables are a special type of External Variables. An External Variable is a process variable with the scope of an Instance and whose value is stored on a separate column in the Engine Instances table. This allows the creation of views and filters based on this variable. A Business Variable, then, shares all the properties of an External Variable plus the fact that its value is collected in all BAM and Data Mart measurements (in some cases the value is shown as it is for a particular instance and in others the value is aggregated).
The caveat here is that there is a maximum number of 256 Business Variables per FDI. Therefore, when publishing several projects into a single FDI directory it is recommendable to reuse business variables. This is achieved by mapping similar Business Variables of different projects with a unique real Variable (on the variable mapping performed at publish time).
g. Configuring the Updater Service Log
In section 5. Configuring Common Updater Service Parameters we have seen that there are two common Updater properties related to logging. These properties are “Log directory” and “Messages logged from Data Store Updater”, and they specify the location and level of these two files:
- dwupdater.log: which is the log for the Data Mart updater service
- bam-dwupdater.log: which is the log for the BAM updater service
In addition to these two properties, there is a configuration file called ‘WarehouseService.conf’ that allows us to modify these other properties:
- wrapper.console.loglevel: level for the updater service log
- wrapper.logfile.loglevel: level for the updater service log
- wrapper.java.additional.n: additional argument to the service JVM
- wrapper.logfile.maxsize: maximum size of the updater service log files
- wrapper.logfile.maxfiles: maximum number of updater service log files
- wrapper.logfile: updater service log file name (the default value is dwupdater-service.log)
9.1. Updater Service Log Configuration Caveats
a. The first three parameters listed above have to be modified when increasing the log level to DEBUG (since the default is WARNING). The loglevel parameters have to be set to DEBUG and a java.additional.n (where n is a consecutive integer to the already used ones) has to be set to –ea to enable asserts, since without this option no DEBUG message is going to be generated.
b. Of the other arguments, maxfiles might need to be increased to hold a few more days of data when the log level is set to DEBUG (with the default value up to two days are stored).
c. The updater service has to be stopped, uninstalled, installed and then started for any of these changes to take effect.
Hope this helps,
Dan

OutOfMemoryError when running Oracle BPM Enterprise's Configuration Wizard

Hi,
I was trying to configure Oracle BPM Enterprise via Oracle BPM Admin Center. I left most of the settings to their respective default values; only adding in passwords for the Directory, Engine, etc. However an error was encountered when it is trying to deploy the '01-eng-bpmengine' EAR file. A 'OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space' was logged after running the configuration for a while. Below is the full error log:

Is there any way that I can increase the heap size of the Configuration Wizard? If not, is there any solution to this problem?

Hi,
It seems to be a Weblogic OOM (OutOfMemory).
Why don't you try increasing the weblogic memory (you have to modify your domain scripts)
I guess that after increasing your WLS domain memory settings you will be able to configure it using the config wizard.
Hope this helps,
Ariel

How to read Extended user property in oracle BPM?

Hi,
I have tried using the XPATH expression in Data Association to read an Extended User Property defined in Oracle BPM Workspace. Actually I'm using Active Directory for authentication, and as there is limitations for modifying existing AD to accommodate custom fields required for BPM Processes, I created an Extended User Property called Department Code and mapped it for all users who should be participating in the process. Now I want to read this Department Code and display in ADF Form (Human Task Form).
I tried something like this using XPATH Expr. in Data Association for Human Task :
ids:getUserProperty(bpmn:getProcessInstanceAttribute('creator'), 'departmentCode')
But it appears that using Identity Function exposed for Xpath we can only read some pre-defined set of properties associated with internal LDAP for weblogic. So please suggest what is the approach one should follow in order to read Extended User Properties defined in Oracle BPM Workspace.
I'm using Oracle SOA 12.1.3 and JDeveloper 11.1.17 deployed on Windows 7

Oracle BPM 11.1.1.5 Performance issues

Hi,
I have 2 Node Cluster of Oracle SOA 11.1.1.5 installed. Have a separate cluster for SOA/BPM, BAM, OSB, WSM. Here are the OS and Java versions
Java Vendor: HP
Java Version: 1.6.0.14
OS: HP-UX
OS Version: B.11.31
Running into an issue where Oracle BPM is performing very slow the task forms takes forever to come up and performing any actions takes too long to proceed som time it keeps timing out. I have over 100 SOA Process running plus some BPM Process but BMP Workspace application is running too slow as have customized tasks forms. But the same works a bit better in other instance which is non-clustered. Any idea what can be done on the server level to get around the performance issues. So far have modified Audit Levels and reduced soa-infra bpm log have the following settings in setDomainEnv.sh for USER_MEM_ARGS=-Xms2000m -Xmx6000m -XX:PermSize=1000m
But not help. Any idea what else to look into to get around these bpm performance issues. Here is what I have in setSOADomainEnv.sh

After changing JVM settigns for soa cluster it's a bit better but still slow so wondering what other tweaks can be done on the JVM side. Here is what is for the SOA Cluster
USER_MEM_ARGS="-server -Xms12928m -Xmx12928m -XX:PermSize=3072m -Xmn3232m -XX:+SXTElimination -XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+ExplicitGCInvokesConcurrent -XX:-TraceClassLoading -XX:-TraceClassUnloading"
We are running multiple instances on the same boxes and the total RAM on the machine is 95 GB on each box which is being shared across 4 cluster environments. For now other 3 cluster environments have the SOA Cluster JVM setting as
USER_MEM_ARGS="-server -Xms4096m -Xmx4096m -XX:PermSize=1024m -Xmn1152m -XX:+SXTElimination -XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+ExplicitGCInvokesConcurrent -XX:-TraceClassLoading -XX:-TraceClassUnloading"
Any help on what else I can tweak or set in JVM to get a better performance.
Thanks

How to Enable the Oracle BPM Worklist?

Hi!
Newbie here.
So how do you enable the Oracle BPM Worklist?
Sure there a tutorial for this found in http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e17366/chapter16.htm#BABHCICI
and in section "16.2 How to Enable the Oracle BPM Worklist" it says
"By default, Oracle BPM Worklist functionality is disabled. You can enable this functionality in AIAConfigurationProperties.xml.
To enable the Oracle BPM Worklist:
-Access AIAConfigurationProperties.xml located in <AIA_HOME>/aia_instances/$INSTANCE_NAME/AIAMetaData/config.
-Set the EH.INVOKE.HWF property value to true.
-Reload updates to the AIAConfigurationProperties.xml file."
However upon searching for the file "AIAConfigurationProperties.xml" or even the directory "aia_instances" in our servers, I could not find them. Please help me!

If you are talking about 11g Worklist app, then you won't be able to do that, since the source code is not shipped with the product. The better way is to create the custom worklist application using the Worklist APIs. Refer to the SOA Developers Guide.
In case of 10g, you can access the source code of Worklist app, even in that case, you can do your requirement using the exposed APIs.

Oracle BPM Composer and no ADF

Hi Everyone,
We are planning to use Oracle BPM as our BPM engine. But our organization doesn't support ADF. So could anyone help to answer the below questions. Thanks a lot for your time.
1) Can we use Oracle BPM Composer... Does Oracle BPM composer require extended ADF Domain?
2) Default BPM workspace can't be used. So we need to build our own workspace. Are they any predefined framework to build a MVC or any other java framework to build workspace.
3)Could anyone let me know the additional things we should take care in case we don't use ADF domain.
Thanks everyone for your time.

Oracle BPM Studio (JDeveloper) is used by developers to create processes, human tasks, the process instance payloads, the composite services used by the processes, complex transformations, business rules and the ADF UIs.
Composer is a business user oriented web based tool used by business analysts with similar capabilities. Using Composer, business people can create and maintain processes, define process instance payloads, human tasks, process payloads, business rules. Instead of creating ADF UIs, you create and test web forms using a web based UI web form designer tool that it comes with in 11.1.1.7. Because the forms built using Composer can only be viewed from the Workspace or WebCenter Spaces tools, and because you're not going to use the Workspace or WebCenter Spaces tools, you won't be able to use Composer to create your UIs.
You might want to rethink your decision to not use the Workspace or WebCenter Spaces tools, but because you're not going to use either one you will instead be building your forms using the form design tool of your choice.
Although I'd advise you against recreating it, you'll need to become comfortable using the different APIs Oracle BPM exposes if you're going to try to duplicate the Workspace and WebCenter Spaces tool functionality.
Here's the API JavaDoc and a few blogs that will give you some tips on getting started:

Security for Oracle BPM PAPI WS

Hi all,
1) While creating a session using PAPI WS if we use the password same as username can't the webservices be invoked by other applications in te same network? How to prevent this? Any application which knows an username in Oracle BPM directory can invoke these web services!!
2)What is username token profile mechanism for WS?
how to apply username token profile for PAPI WS when invoked from .net apps? I need details.
Regards,
Som

1.) Any application which knows the username/password could invoke the services. The passwords are only the same as the username in Studio, not in enterprise.
2.) Username Token profile is a WS-Security standard. Using WCF you would be able to set the username/password which will be included in the SOAP header.

Update to Oracle BPM Suite 11.1.1.4

We're currently testing Oracle BPM 11gR1 (11.1.1.3.0) which is running on a clustered environment (Weblogic). We would like to know if there is any documentation on how to upgrade the current installation for the new patch - 11gR1 (11.1.1.4.0).
It just can't be that we have to make a brand new installation of everyting (creation of DB schemas, new installtion and customization of Weblogic 10.3.4 ...) ??

Yes RCU is only to drop or create schemas, it doesn't do upgrades. The database upgrade to 11.1.1.4 is done with the patch set assistant, which is installed by the SOA installer into the SOA home. Which is why you have to upgrade the SOA installation before you can do the DB update. Note that not all schemas need to be updated. The patch set guide lists which are needed.
The Fusion Middleware Installation Planning Guide outlines the difference between a new install and upgrade. If you start here I think it will save you lots of time and headache:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/install.1111/b32474/start.htm
For an upgrade you'll use the Fusion Middleware Patching Guide:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/doc.1111/e16793/toc.htm
The thing that can be confusing is that there is a single SOA installer that can do a full install of 11.1.1.4, and it can upgrade 11.1.1.2/11.1.1.3 to 11.1.1.4. When you point the SOA installer to a SOA home location, if it sees an existing 11.1.1.2/11.1.1.3 installation, it knows it's doing an upgrade.
For the database it's different. You use RCU for new installations, but you use the patch set assistant to do an upgrade. Similarly a new installation of WLS uses the WLS 10.3.4 installer, but an upgrade from 10.3.3 to 10.3.4 requires the patch installer that's available from support.
One last thing to note is that you should still download RCU even if you're doing an upgrade. The new purge scripts are included in the RCU installation directory and you'll install those using SQL Plus at the end of the upgrade.

Oracle BPM installed Java out-of-memory exception

Hi,
I have installed the oracle BPM software in the server have the Ram capacity 8 GB,Could you please suggest some of the do's and don't's to avoid the Java out-of-memory exception which normally appearing on the console of weblogic server.
My Server details,
Windows 2008 R2 64 bit, RAM 8 GB,
The required BPM s/w I installed from the link below,
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bpm/downloads/index.html?ssSourceSiteId=ocomen
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Shyam

I had to increase JVM xmx/maxperm in the "set*Env.sh" scripts in the directory where you start WLS. In my dev environment, deploying BAM & BPM together with the Admin server, I finally allocated 4GB max. Jdev.conf is also better if you allocate > 1GB - mine is 1.4GB. I also watch process memory. Multiple re-deployments in my development environment seem to increase the memory, even if I remove process instances and undeploy first. I don't understand the internals very well so perhaps it is behaving correctly, but restarting WLS frees the unused memory that I expected gc to reclaim.

Oracle BPM (former ALBPPM) Hybrid LDAP Support for IDM

So far ALBPM Enterprise (now Oracle BPM) had its best (by far) setup on a hybrid setting. In this case, ALBPM Directory had its own database, but authentication (users & groups) was set against an LDAP server (Sun One or Active Directory).
Are there any plans to extend the hybrid configuration to Oracle IDM LDAP?
Thanks.

Create a new user oracle and proceed with the installation
--> useradd -g oinstall oracle
If your are forwarding your GUI using xming or vnc you would need to copy the xauth of root user and set it to oracle
[server1:root] xauth list
