What Exactly is BPEL PROCESS used for??

Can anybody explain what is the difference between the various service components of BPEL, such as BPEL Process,Human Task,Business Rule, Mediator, what is the significance of each one of them.
Edited by: rahulc on Sep 15, 2011 4:08 AM

Hi',
BPEL Process: This is a web service, and inside this we can give logic to do various things, just like any Java class would do, you can interact with DB, write/ read from a file, interact with queues, interact with other services, BPEL is used in scenarios where you want to integrate 2 system, i.e. polling for some DB table and passing that data in oracle apps system.
Other scenario is you have a UI screen you enter some data there submit that data your BPEL process is called and inside the BPEL you have a DB adapter which is inserting the data in the DB table. BPEL is very strong and is backbone of Oracle SOA.
Human Task: This is a separate service/application which is called when you require human interaction, suppose from inside the BPEL you invoke this Human task with details like whom your request should go to, userid, and some other description, When the BPEL process is invoked the request goes to this Human task, Human Task has a separate UI screen "BPM worklist" , so when the person gets into work-list with his username and pwd(which you have given in the human task) he can see the request for him, he can either approve the request of reject, etc. Remember you invoked the Human task from BPEL so the BPEL will wait for that time till the user in work list approve/rejects the request and then proceeds
Business Rule: They are typically any rule engine which are used to make decisions, like logical decisions, why some one would use business rules as this can be done inside BPEL too, because business rules allows a non programmer to change the rules, this business rules are used in application where business data continuously changes, like banking where interest rates changes daily, with business rules a business analyst can change the rule and just apply this, you don't need to redeploy the whole application.
Mediator: This is SOA 10G ESB, this is used to integrate 2 services and pass data between them, more like BPEL, however not as strong as BPEL.

In 10.1.2.0.2 you need to create your own build.xml
I have found an example, it may be of some help. This does call a property file

To add to it the BPEL process is executing successfuly and RMI call timeout is happening.
Can I know how to increase the related timeout value?

Have got the same problem. Scenario at my end is little different though.
I am trying to invoke a BPEL process from an ESB Service.
I am trying to look into it..
However, would be grateful, if someone can give some insight into this since many are running into this issue without being able to fix.

Invoking deployed bpel process using WLST

Hi All,
Am new to WLST. So please tolerate with me if i am asking the obvious
I read through the forums and have successfully deployed a BPEL process using WLST as given below
ant -f ant-sca-deploy.xml -DserverURL=http://localhost:8001 -DsarLocation=C:\oracle\Middleware\PS3\Oracle_SOA1\bin\sca_esd9_jca_bpel1.1_ccgd_trn_ob_rev1.jar -Doverwrite=true -Duser=weblogic -Dpassword=welcome1 -DforceDefault=true
And i have also tried un deploying and it works fine.
But, the problem is, i want to invoke the deployed BPEL process either by accessing the WSDL URL (http://localhost:8001/soa-infra/services/default/esd9_jca_bpel1.1_ccgd_trn_ob/bpelprocess1_client_ep?WSDL) or by any other means using WLST. I have to send an input to this deployed process.
I have googled it and have found ways to invoke a web service using JAVA or VBS. But is it possible to do it through WLST?
Thanks in advance.

Sancho,
Thanks for the prompt reply. We trying to automate the following process:-
1. The user select multiple documents from a folder in a library that contains all released documents.
2. He then locks the documents.
3. Selects the locked documents and copies it to a folder in the personal library.
We are trying to lock and copy the documents as a 1 step process, because its difficult for the users to select all of the documents locked earlier and then copy it the personal library.
We are trying to take the folder name as the user parameter, when the files are locked, so that the process and create the lock the files, create the folder and copy the files in this folder.
Thanks again for your time and help.

Hi -
A few things that you may want to try to troubleshoot this issue:
1) Run our sample of calling a BPEL process from Axis, located in:
C:\orabpel\samples\interop\axis\AXISCallingSyncBPEL
2) Run your client through a TCP tunnel to see the specific SOAP request message that is being sent to the BPEL process and the SOAP response that is being generated. This should help you determine which side of the communication is causing the problem, as well as to rule out proxy server or other issues that are very common problems for this situation.

How to install Oracle BPEL Process Manager for OracleAS Middle Tier

hi,
i need to install BPEL process manager, so i download the following file from otn
1.soa_windows_x86_101310_disk1
2.soa_windows_x86_bpel_101310
here i read the document named b28980.pdf from bpel\doc\pc.1012 to install BPEL PM
so i start to complete the pre-installation task
1.installed Oracle database 10g
2.Run the Integration Repository Creation Assistant on the Database
3.Install Oracle Application Server 10g Release3 (10.1.3.1.0) and select either the J2EE Server installation type or the J2EE and Web Server installation type. selected J2EE and Web Server installation type
and installed according to the Oracle application server installation guide.
installed OracleAS in the path : D:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1
4.Install the current release of Oracle BPEL Process Manager for OracleAS Middle Tier
here they mention to select the J2EE and Web Server installation type because that type is selected in Oracle AS installed in Oracle Application Server
so i start to install the BPEL PM by selecting the setup.exe-->and shows the location source and destination
default destination is : D:\product\10.1.3.1\OraBPEL_1 selected next on the screen
the next screen is select installation type here there are two types named
1.BPEL process Manager for Developer (371MB)
2.BPEL process manager for Oracle AS Middle tier (107MB)
i selected 2.BPEL process manager for Oracle AS Middle tier (107MB) and click next
pop up window opens with title dependencies
error:
BPEL Process manager for oracle AS Middle tier will run on top of a supported Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.1.0 J2EE server and Web Server Or J2EE server instance. this location does not contain this instance. Please select new Oracle home that contains a supported instance.
so i changed the destination path to : D:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1\BIN then also i got the same error.
please any one mention the path for J2EE and Web Server instance for installing the BPEL PM for Oracle AS Middle Tier.
Thanks in Advance
Aswath Thaniga

If you choose the developer version you will be fine.
If you have installed J2EE and Web Server installation into D:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1 then this is the location you install your BPEL PM into, not D:\product\10.1.3.1\OraBPEL_1 or D:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1\BIN.
D:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1 is what we call the ORACLE_HOME, generally we create a new home for each install, but in this case there is a dependency on 10.1.3.1 OC4J container. So it needs to be installed into 10.1.3.1 oracle home.
The bin directory is just the executables for that home, its not the actual. home.

How to Upload a File in Bpel Process using JSP

I am trying to upload file in bpel process using front end as a Jsp.
i create the jsp page and i am able to pass the value from jsp to bpel process.
In bpel process i don't know how to pass or assign the specified file name into file adapter for reading the files.
Please help me...
Saravanan

You don't assign the url of the file to it.
To either get the data from the file into the bpel process you could use the url-parameter together with the ora:readFile function....or you could let your web-application upload the file to some location on the server...and on this location you could use the file-adapter together with the polling, to start your bpel process.

Hi Les,
You can goto this URL to understand more about events :

About my experience working with events:
In one of my BW Project: we were using AutoSys to do job scheduling (to run InfoPackages).
To automate the loading process we created events for each infopackage. Then in that Infopackage we used to select option "Start later in Background" and then select option "After Event". Then specified the event name and parameter.
Then in the same infopackage we selected button "Subsequent Process" the in that seelct option "Trigger Events" Here you can have options to specify if this event is successful then what next event to trigger and if this event fails what next event to trigger.
So this way we used to automate data loads.
This was dont caz there was no process chains concept during that time. So good example of events and event based process are PROCESS CHAINS.
Hope this helps !!
Assign points if helps !!

Invoke BPEL process using a java client - NullPointerException

Hi, We are trying to call a BPEL process using a java client from our Web Application. For some reason the BPEL engine just logs a NullPointerException and exits.
The same SOAP request when through SOAP UI tool works great.
Any help in resolving this is highly appreciated!
We are getting the below exception--

Hi,
Please ensure that you include the SOAP Header "SOAPAction" in your request. Most importantly, the value for that should be enclosed within double quotes.
For eg;
req.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction", '"process"');

To delete all instances of a particular bpel process using java APIs

Hi,
Which classes and methods are used for bulk instances deletion of BPEL process using APIs.

Iam using this code for deleting instances in bulk,
WhereCondition wc = WhereConditionHelper.whereInstancesClosed();
IBPELDomainHandle domainHandle = locator.lookupDomain();
BPELProcessId processId1 = new BPELProcessId("default","DBTest","1.0");
domainHandle.deleteInstancesByProcessId(processId1);
but iam getting Eceptions like
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Exception: Error deserializing return-value: java.io.InvalidClassException: com.oracle.bpel.client.BPELDomainHandle; local class incompatible: stream classdesc serialVersionUID = -6384534326625967840, local class serialVersionUID = -8310067783665200608
Iam able to delete instances one by one using this code,
------------------- basic code-----------
IInstanceHandle instance_handle[];
instance_handle= locator.listInstances(wc);
for(int x = 0; x< instance_handle.length; x++){
System.out.println("Deleting instance "+instance_handle[x]);
instance_handle[x].delete();
But i want to delete instances in bulk,not one by one.Can you help me out in this.

What Exactly is BPEL PROCESS used for??
