Process player capability of oracle BPM 11.1.1.7

Hi All,
I have downloaded and installed Oracle SOA suite 11.1.1.7 and wanted to use the functionality of process player but I'm not able to use it.
Does the trial version does not include this functionality??
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

What kind of error are you getting when attempting to run it? Are you able to use Process Composer?
Here are a few things I discovered that you need to be aware of before trying to run it: http://avioconsulting.com/blog/getting-started-oracle-bpm-composer-web-forms-and-process-player

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 add new field

Hi All,
I have a requirement to add a new field in Oracle BPM 12c. Currently my BPM application and UI fields are find but now I got a new requirement to add an additional field in UI. First I created a new variable under existing business object and then edited my process data object to incorporate changes. Now how I can add this field to different tasks UI?
I will really appreciate for the help.

Hi,
How do you implement your UI? If they are implemented with ADF, and you create one project by task, without reusing Task Flows, you will need to update each UI and deploy them again.
If the field is only a UI need, you should bring the information from a Database, not store your information in the Business Objects unless that information is used for identification or routing on your process flow. Decoupling Oracle BPM Process Instance Information | AVIO Consulting
Try to reuse TaskFlows to reduce the time employed to update UIs.

Import third party designs in an Oracle BPM Process

Hi,
Is there currently any capability in the BPM suite to import third party process designs?

Thanks,
I was asking more in terms of a general 'import' feature that used to be available earlier (rather than BPA to BPM in particular - which is also probably enabled by XPDL)
see this: http://blogs.oracle.com/ptslad/2008/12/hi_folks_i_would_like.html
PS: ARIS is a product in its own standing and not called Oracle BPA Suite now.
http://www.ids-scheer.com/en/ARIS_ARIS_Platform/3730.html
BPA Suite is 'based on' ARIS (and always has been, AFAIK)

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].

Calling Oracle BPM Process Web Service from Oracle Service Bus

Hi
I am using Oracle Service Bus 10gR3.
I have developed simple BPM process through Oracle BPM studio 10.3.1.0.I then followed steps below
1. Create a Process.
2. Expose the Process as a Web Service.
3. Run the project. This starts the Process Execution Engine.
4. Create an ALSB External Resource of type Management Host.
5. Create a second ALSB External Resource for registration.
6. Register the End Point
Until this point everything is fine. Then I created one project through Oracle Service Bus console. Under that created WSDL, Proxy Service and Business Service Folders. I am using the web service created through BPM studio as teh Business Service in SB . I then created one proxy service to route the request to the Business Service.
Finally when I try to test the Proxy Service by launching test console, I get the

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.
http://biemond.blogspot.com/2009/11/invoking-soa-suite-11g-service-from.html
http://biemond.blogspot.com/2009/11/calling-soa-suite-direct-binding.html?showComment=1285198033913#comment-c1055322845511794252
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.

BPM Process Creation: Can't find bundle oracle.bpm.fusion.soa.msg

Hi
I cant create a BPM process in my Jdeveloper .4, .5 or .6. I have updated all them with the BPM extension. While creating a BPM application, the technologies being included in the application, i.e. BPM and SOA are correct. However, on the next page, I can't see any templates. Even if I click finish at that page, only a simple SOA project (not a BPM one, since the BPM Project Navigator tab is absent) gets created with an error log:

Guessing you might hear from Oracle that the URL reference in your thread below is pointed to an the old version and that the classes are no longer supported.
As you know, this is not the case - the URL you have in your thread for the API is the latest for 11.1.1.6. Both classes you mention should be supported (at least according to the Javadoc) and in a recent search I was not able to find them either.
Might be worth a call to Oracle Support to either straighten out the Javadoc or get you a patch.

Oracle BPM and JMS Queue: How to associate data from Map Messages to Process Data Objects?

Good Day!
I'm currently working on a project wherein it tries to get data from a JMSqueue Map Message being populated by CEP.
After CEP pushes some data in the JMSqueue. I have BPM configured with a JMS adapter to look up whether there are any messages to be processed upon.
Inside BPM, I want to know how can I correlate the data from the Map Message to my Process Data Object.
For example, If I have a Map Object wherein it has 3 attributes:
FirstName:String
LastName:String
Age:int
What is the expression I need to use inside Oracle BPM Data Association screen in order to map the data from the Map Messages into my process data objects?
Thanks!
Regards,
Jeff

Any ideas? Thanks!

Oracle BPM Java API - getting informations about process activities

Hi
I have a problem with Oracle BPM Java API, can someone help me?
I have a business process project deployed in Oracle SOA Suite and I need to get some informations of my process programatically via Java API.
Basically I need to get informations about process activities and the corresponding human tasks referenced by these activities.
I'm able to get the HumanTasks of my Business Catalog and also to get the Activities of my Process, but the relationship between them is null.
I did some tests, below a piece of code of my test:
IBPMServiceClient bpmServiceClient = BPMConnectionUtil.getBPMServiceClient();
IProcessMetadataService processMetadataService = bpmServiceClient.getProcessMetadataService();
IProcessModelService processModelService = bpmServiceClient.getProcessModelService();
List<ProcessMetadataSummary> processMetadataSummaryList =
processMetadataService.listProcessMetadataSummary(BPMConnectionUtil.getBPMContext(), "processNameOrId to find", "processName", "ASC");
if (processMetadataSummaryList == null || processMetadataSummaryList.size() == 0)
return;
ProcessMetadataSummary processMetadataSummary = null;
for (ProcessMetadataSummary summary: processMetadataSummaryList) {
if (summary.isIsDefaultRevision()) {
processMetadataSummary = summary;
break;
if (processMetadataSummary == null)
processMetadataSummary = processMetadataSummaryList.get(0);
IProcessModelPackage pack = processModelService.getProcessModel(BPMConnectionUtil.getBPMContext(), processMetadataSummary.getCompositeDN(), processMetadataSummary.getProcessName());
oracle.bpm.project.model.processes.Process process = pack.getProcessModel();
Sequence<UserTask> activities = process.getActivities(UserTask.class);
for (UserTask activity: activities) {
System.out.println("Human Task: " +activity.getHumanTask()); // <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<---------------------------- here is the problem. the human task is null, but my activity have a task associated
There is another way to get this information?
Thank's

Is Oracle BPM for only modeling process?

Hi
Is Oracle BPM only for Business process modeling? I know there is a PAPI java library to implement User Interface.
But i geuss it takes a lot of Time. We are planning to use Oracle BPM process and Stuts for front end.
Thanks

Hi,
Oracle BPM is similar to a pure-play process modeling tool in that it supports process modeling, documentation and simulation.
Here's where Oracle BPM and process modeling tools differ. Oracle BPM was built and architected from the beginning as a full lifecycle Business Process Management (BPM) tool. This means that it is a complete solution with modeling, logic / business rules, end user interface, runtime and BAM capabilities built into it from the beginning 10 years ago.
Go here http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13154_01/bpm/docs65/index.html and click on "Oracle BPM data-sheet" for a marketing take on it's capabilities. If you'd like a 3 hour hands-on tour through it, click on the "Oracle BPM Tutorial for new users" link. If you do the tutorial, be sure to ping this forum if you get confused - we'll be glad to help.
Undoubtedly, there's more than you wanted to know in this thread. At a minimum, take a look at the "End User Interface" paragraph below for my take on your Struts question. The nice thing about the forum is that others are sure to disagree with my recommendation and you'll get the benefit from their experience as well.
Modeling
Oracle BPM was built with one process modeling diagram. It is simple, BPMN based and quick to learn. It supports the roles and the activities I need to build robust processes. 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. As a developer, I use the same modeling diagram, but the tool profile I use is a robust IDE that lets me create the implementation details (objects, logic, integration to services and local testing). If I make a change as a developer, the business analyst can see the change if they look at the same process artifact (typically shared through a source control repository).
Logic and Integration
Process modeling tools are not BPM tools so they are not intended to support the process logic or integration to your existing IT assets needed to execute a business process.
Oracle BPM can use a service bus as the intermediary layer to expose existing IT assets. Alternatively, Oracle BPM can expose and consume components directly if you do not have a service bus. These IT assets are stored in Oracle BPM's catalog for reuse by developers creating the logic needed inside Oracle BPM automated processes.
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.

End User Interface
Before deciding to create your own Struts based UI, examine the capabilities of the OOTB Oracle BPM Workspace. Others on this forum will disagree with this, but rebuilding the functionality of the Oracle BPM Workspace will take quite a bit of time and will require an in-depth knowledge of PAPI (Oracle BPM's API into the runtime Engine) knowledge.
End user interface screens and complex end user interaction with a variety of screens can be built inside the Oracle BPM toolset's WYSIWYG editor. The forms use the attributes of the objects described in the previous paragraph. There's a common misconception that you cannot have both client side and server side components invoked from the UI. This is simply not the case. You can use both client side and server side components to do cross field validation or provide lists for valid values.
If you'd been are a JSP shop you'd have had the flexibility to instead create your forms using the Oracle BPM tag library instead of the forms editor provided.
Since you're a Struts shop, your presentations will be exposed as "External" using Interactive activity Screenflows.
The forms you build are automatically presented in the OOTB Workspace.
Runtime
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.
Hope this helps,

How to Instantiate Oracle BPM Process Webservice from the OSB

Hi,
In our project we have one requirement i.e Instantiate Oracle BPM Process Webservice from the OSB.After register BPM service in to OSB I am creating one Message flow to instantiate BPM Process.
first call to startSession Operation, then use response of startSession operation is used as reqest for BPM process operation.
Can u tell me how do we use response of startSession operation to the request of BPM process.
Thanks in Advance.

An easier way of instantiating a BPM process via a WS call is to set the authentication type to 'Username Token Profile' on your web service operation in BPM studio and then redeploy it. If you use this type of security on your bpm process operations you can start the process in one call instead of having to get a session first and then starting the process.
Once you've updating the process, re-register the new process WSDL and business service with OSB (or import it manually) and you can just call the start process operation in one request (passing a username and password using the WS-UsernameToken method) without having to get a session first.
Hope this all make sense,
Mike.

Diff Between Oracle BPM Studio and Oracle BPEL Process Manager

1)What is the difference between Oracle BPM Studio and Oracle BPEL Process Manager?
2)What is the connection between Oracle BPM Studio and Oracle BPEL Process Manager?

Hi,
As of today you should install SOA Suite 11g
Fr this you will need to install Database (for development you can use XE)
Run RCU utility to crete DB schemas for SOA Suite.
Install Weblogic server
Install SOA Suite as an option to Weblogic
Create SOA Domain.
It is physically possible to do it in 2GB but is far better on 3 - 4GB
You can consider installing DB on different machine.
