Oracle BPM Suite 11gR1 simulation using real data?

Does anybody know if it is possible to "record" usage of a real business process model and use it as simulation data?
Thanks for your time!

I have exactly the same question from a prospect: They love the simulation feature in BPM 11g, and they are bought into the continuous improvement aspect of BPM. Now they want to understand how to put the two together and their question is whether and how is it possible to take actual process metrics and use those in a simulation. Is this possible? Thanks.

In case is supported i need how can I activate this service for invoke it via http(SOAP)
The problem is I need to manage(start/stop) the processes that have bean deployed in Oracle BPM engine from a client application developed in other tecnologies

The reference to the Human Workflow docs is important. But it's also important to keep in mind that the architecture of 11g is different than in 10g. While you can interact with the tasks defined in a process via the Human Workflow APIs. You don't start process instances from those APIs. Please see this post:
Re: Getting while running the BPEL process from java
It references an ATeam example app that can start processes from a web client. But the Java APIs are described too.

Oracle BPM Suite : Oracle BPM vs Oracle BPEL PM

Hi All,
I am new in Oracle BPM and how some experience learning how to use Oracle BPM. Now when reading about the components products inside "Oracle BPM Suite" in detail , I am some what confuse about :
1) In What situation that we should use "Oracle BPM" rather than "Oracle BPEL PM" ?
2) In What situation that we should use "Oracle BPEL PM" rather than "Oracle BPM" ?
I am confuse about these issue since both of the products come together when we order "Oracle BPM Suite" and both of the products can be used for "HUman Workflow Applications" as well
Could you please help clarify these issues ? Thank you very much in advance.
Best Regards

Hi Pearapon,
You’ve raised a good point.
Every once in a while, I see an article written by a BPM pundit that attempts to make the case that the BPMN approach (Oracle BPM uses this) is superior to the BPEL approach or vice versa. Here's one example on InfoQ - http://www.infoq.com/articles/bpelbpm. Its title "Why BPEL is not the holy grail for BPM" is very misleading. This is a typical example of an author sitting in either the BPMN or BPEL camp criticizing the other camp's standard. In this article, the author attempts to indict all BPMN to BPEL conversion attempts based on the author's poorly drawn process.
Although I know that controversy boosts readership of these types of articles, in my opinion it’s not a “vs.”. Both the BPMN and BPEL standards have strengths when used with certain use cases.
Here’s one scenario where Oracle BPM and Oracle BPEL PM are synergistic. My background is with Oracle BPM, but I’ve used Oracle BPEL PM on a project for the orchestration of composite services. I used Oracle BPM to model the business processes understood by executives, managers, subject matter experts, business analysts and developers. Using the same simple role based activity flow process diagram, everyone understands what the business problem is and how the process will work solve the problem. The Oracle BPM Automatic activities in the process hit Oracle BPEL processes. Here we used the BPEL processes to hit and orchestrate the underlying IT components . We exposed the BPEL processes using the customer’s service bus and we invoked it from the Oracle BPM process’s Automatic activity (Oracle BPM -> OSB -> Oracle BPEL). Alternatively, If the customer had not had a service bus, I could have invoked the BPEL process directly from the Oracle BPM process via a cataloged web service in Oracle BPM.
Hope this helps,
Dan

"Oracle BPM Suite 11g" and "Oracle SOA Suite 11g" components

Dear Friends,
I am very confusing about the "Oracle BPM suite 11g" and "Oracle SOA Suite 11g" and would like your help on explanation as the following :
I have learn that In order to use "Oracle BPM Suite 11g" require to have "Oracle SOA Suite 11g" components to install first. Does it means that :
1) When we buy "Oracle BPM Suite 11g" , we automatically get the "Oracle SOA Suite 11g" components as well ?
2) IS it correct that these " these Oracle SOA Suite 11g components" are included :
(a) Oracle BAM
(b) Oracle Business Rules
(c) Oracle BPEL Manager
(d) Oracle Service Bus
(e) Oracle Complex Event Processing
3) Do we have a right to use all of these components listed in (2) ?
4) Then the answers in (3) is "YES", then Is it correct when the customer buy the "Oracle BPM Suite 11g" , they no need to buy "Oracle SOA 11g" any more when they would like to implements that applications based on SOA in the future (without using BPM) ?
5) What IF , the customer would like to start with "Oracle SOA Suite 11g" product and decide to buy only Oracle SOA Suite 11g first ; then later on in the future they would like to implement BPM projects in the future. Can you upgrade "Oracle SOA Suite 11g" to include "Oracle BPM Sutie 11g" and pay only the price different ?
I hope you can help providing the answers to these questions. THank you very much in advance.
Best Regards
Pearapon S.

This is a question best answered by your Oracle reseller or Oracle account manager to give you all the details but I hope this brief answer helps:
- The Unified Business Process Management Suite (BPM Suite 11g) includes: BPM Studio, BPM Composer, BPMN Service Engine and Workflow Extensions, BPM Process Spaces, and BPM Process Analytics.
- BPM Suite 11g requires the licensing of SOA Suite 11g for Oracle Middleware which requires a license for WebLogic Suite.
- You can license SOA Suite 11g now and license BPM Suite 11g later.
Since the products are layered, I don't see this cutting into SOA sales at all. My personal view is that BPM on top of SOA is brilliant since it provides easy integration between human and automated tasks, builds on many of the SOA concepts that are key for a successful BPM implementation (functional, not the Oracle product), and uses the same IDE. The synergies extend past easy use of services; the same business rules and human workflow components are used between both products.

Alfresco+BEA Aqualogic(Oracle) BPM Suite Integration.

Hi,
I have two questions to ask:
1.Is BEA Aqua Logic BPM Suite now a part of Oracle BPM Suite or it still exists on its own as a separate entity.
2.I have requirement to integrate BEA Aqua logic(Oracle) BPM Suite with Alfresco to develop advance workflows created using BPM Suite on Alfresco.I have searched on web but not found anything much relevant.Can anybody help me out on how to do it?Is it possible or not?If yes,any link or documentation for the same would be highly appreciated.If no,please confirm the same also.
Thank You,
Regards,
J Lalit

thanks so much, it's of great help.
however, if i want to download the install file of the whole Oracle Business Process Management Suite, which files are required?
as i know, the whole OBPM Suite includes 5 products:
BEA AquaLogic BPM Studio/Server
Oracle BPEL Process Manager
Oracle Business Rules
Oracle Business Activity Monitoring
Oracle Process Portal
i checked
http://edelivery.oracle.com/EPD/Download/get_form?egroup_aru_number=9132671
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/bea_main.html
seems these products are listed seperately. and each product also includes many parts. i don't know which parts should download. especially we're going to intall on Linux 86.
thanks.

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

Advanced human task routing on Oracle Bpm Suite 11g.

Hi
Do Oracle Bpm Suite 11g human tasks have concept of advanced routing of tasks ? For example if we have three groups of people, each of these groups have skills defined. And when task is created then the skills required fulfill the task (could be defined in task metadata) is compared against the three groups. The task is then assigned to the work queue of the most fitting group ?
So what I mean by this, is that you can specify rules which define which work queue (and multiple user can be assigned to the work queue) receives which tasks ?
Thank you for answering and I will gladly give more details regarding this issue...
Best Regards Tuomas Katva

I must disagree a little... Human task's have been separated from process logic and I think it reasonable. I don't think that routing logic belongs to the business process, ofcourse this just semantics but I think it would make separation of concerns more apparent. If the human task - service/manager could determine the routing logic (to whom the task is assigned) based on the parameters it receives, it would then make clear separation of logic: business process would handle the overall control flow and the human task manager would handle the human task flow.
What I'm asking is there some pattern or API or something that would allow for example skill based routing of task. I know that Bea Aqualogic had "parametrized roles" which allowed the task to be routed on runtime to a "dynamic role", and IBM has "Business categories" and "Workbaskets" which allows advanced routing of a task based on runtime properties. Let me give you an example:
Let's say we have two skill categories:
Language
Claim type (for example in insurance)
Applicant posts the claim and the insurance case is assessed by insurance handler. When the process flow comes to a human task it passes the claim's language and type of the claim to the human task manager. The human task manager would then determine who should handle this task. Let's say that Mike speaks spanish and has skills in car insurance claims. The human task manager would be responsible for determening that this task belongs to Mike (in case that the claim was in spanish and it was car insurance claim).
Is there any patterns or examples how this should be handled. I know this quite like case management but I think modern BPM's should be able to handle case management.
Thank you
Best Regards Tuomas Katva

Does Oracle BPM Suite has an inbuild process for Work Flow Mgmt ?

HI,
There is an workflow tool in the market known as STAFFWARE. IS oracle BPM Suite has this capability of workflow mgmt. So, is the BPM suite able to replace the Staffware S/W ?

Hi Dhawal,
If you are refereing to actual implementation of a modelled workflow or process, the short answer is yes. See for example [http://www.oracle.com/technologies/soa/oracle-bpa-suite-datasheet.pdf].
