November 20, 2015 2 Comments

clip_image002

You want to download BPM Suite 12.2.1? But you only see BPM Suite 12.3.1 at the OTN page? Here is a little trick:

What’s new in Oracle BPM Suite Version 12.2.1 by Cesare Rotundo

Business Process Management (BPM) Suite 12.2.1 is a complete, unified platform that enables customers to deliver against their business process strategy, execution, and automation needs, from business architecture modeling to business and IT delivery of process solutions.

BPM 12c covers four key BPM functionality areas:

· Business Architecture: model starting at the highest (Level 0) level of process abstraction, using Enterprise Process Map, Value Chain Models, Strategy Models, with the ability to link to BPMN processes, as well as to generate an Enterprise KPI Heat Map, Documentation, and Process Reports.

· Collaborative Business Modeling: model specific processes using the BPMN 2.0 notation, offering both Business and IT the right tools for collaborating from modeling to execution.

· Adaptive Case Management: deliver true Case Management solutions than dynamically adapt to the business context, allowing knowledge workers to execute the actions in a set of best available presented to them

· Intelligent Operations: make available real-time Business Activity Monitoring analytics, allowing business real-time control of operational and historical conditions and to take immediate action thru activity-enabled dashboards

While Oracle BPM Suite version 12.1.3 has delivered completely new areas such as Business Architecture, version 12.2.1 makes this complete set of BPM functionality more easily consumable by external solutions and integrated with WebCenter 12c Content and Portal, jointly released with BPM.

REST API

BPM Suite 12.2.1 includes a full set of REST API that enable applications built with any technology to leverage BPM Suite as an engine for workflow management, service integration, and process orchestration. This model is particularly well suited when custom mobile apps need a process engine that offers full BPMN and ACM capabilities, and that delivers BAM dashboards to enable control, management, and continuous improvement of processes.

Specifically, version 12.2.1 adds more granular task control, whereas users of any application / mobile app linked to BPM Suite via REST can now execute and withdraw, escalate, approve, reject, etc. tasks managed in BPM Suite. BPM 12.2.1 has also extended the set of REST API that enable Case control (ACM).

Reusable User Interface Components

BPM Suite 12.2.1 includes user interface (UI) components that can be embedded in WebCenter Portal. These include Task List, where Portal users can access tasks assigned to them by BPM, and Application List, where Portal users can launch BPM applications for which they have been enabled. These BPM UIs can be imported as a Portal Resource Catalog, then embedded into any Portal page, and easily configured based on a set of most common parameters.

Alta User Experience

The User Experience for BPM Suite 12.2.1 is now available with the all-new Oracle Alta UI system, adopted by the most recent Oracle Cloud, on premise, and mobile applications.

Alta offers:

· Fully redesigned UI component set and interactions

· Fresh visual design complements modern layout approach

· UI conducive to responsive design techniques

· Native Mobile UI

November 19, 2015 Leave a comment

 

clip_image002Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) 12c monitors your business processes in real time to help you make informed tactical and strategic business decisions. In this post we will create a simple Dashboard with three Business Views, two of them to monitor the employees added, simulating real time data, and another one to monitor the EMPLOYEES table.

In the BAM Composer, go to Administrator page and create two new Data Objects: EmployeeDO and EmployeeHRDO.

Add two columns to EmployeeDO: EMPLOYEE_NAME and EMPLOYEE_JOB.

Inform the table EMPLOYEES in EmployeeHRDO. Read the complete article here.

Process Cloud Composer Tour by Gregory Hughlett

November 15, 2015 Leave a comment

 

clip_image002There are many good reasons for business to look very seriously at the Oracle Process Cloud Service as a way to provision a fully managed BPM environment that lets the business focus on process improvement.  Previous releases of Oracle BPM admitedly have focused on the technologist and not the business user.  However, the evolution to the Process Cloud has been underway since 11g via the Process Composer tool.  Process Cloud now makes it available to everyone.

For the business, there are many reasons to move to the Oracle Process Cloud: 

  • It wlll lower start-up and upfront costs for both IT infrastructure and software licenses. 
  • Cloud implementations reduce risks associated with large capital investment with smoother predictable operational expenditures. Large one-time software upgrade costs are also eliminated.
  • Cloud customers benefit from using the latest product version and can rapidly leverage new feature capabilities. 
  • Requires the business to pay only for what they need, rather than over or under engineering an on premise business application.  "Elastic scalability’ ensures the business only pays for the capacity that is needed when it is needed.
  • Provides high performance and continuous availability: automatic load balancing and failover provide continuous availability.

The first release of the Oracle Process Cloud provides a full lifecycle, soup to nuts process management tool.  The Process Cloud user interface is fast, modern, and designed for the business. It isn’t designed for the IT types (although us IT types will enjoy using them too.)  This topic is a tour through many of the Process Cloud screens at a high level so you can get a feel for how complete it is.  Many of the features you’ll see here can also be found in the on-premise Process Composer tool, a web-based tool, also oriented to business users.      

Process Composer Home

Depending on your role in the Process Cloud environment, you will have different options available on the Process Composer main page. Read the complete article here.

A quick look at Process Cloud Service by Laurens van der Starre

November 14, 2015 Leave a comment

 

clip_image002Oracle Process Cloud Service is Oracle’s rapid process automation in the Cloud. It is more or less BPM in the cloud. This service allows you to quickly and easily create business processes like you are used to with Oracle BPM, only now in the cloud. In this post I’ll give a quick tour of this service.

So let’s start with the Process Cloud Service. The landing page already gives you loads of features.

The landing page of the Process Cloud

Here you have your spaces in which your processes will be saved, and where you start building new applications. So let’s create a new one. Read the complete article here.

Process Cloud – first impressions by Luc Gorissen

November 13, 2015 Leave a comment

 

clip_image002As of this week, Oracle has released the Oracle Process Cloud Service (PCS): https://cloud.oracle.com/process. This PaaS cloud service offers a development platform for implementing business processes. Underpinning technology for this cloud service is the Oracle Fusion Middleware BPM stack. As a result, using the Process Cloud Service should be easy for people that are already familiar with Oracle Fusion Middleware BPM. For example, familiar platform components like BPM Composer and BPM WorkSpace are also present in PCS. With that in mind, we decided to give it a go!

This article outlines the steps for implementing a simple process in the Oracle Process Cloud Service. We were inspired during a discussion with a customer on SOA Governance, more specifically: how to handle/grant access to specific services. The customer mentioned that ‘he had people were complaining that it was unpredictable how long it took before access to a specific service in a specific environment was granted’. These types of processes can be handled very well within the Oracle Process Cloud. So, the ‘ServiceAccessApproval’ process will be shown in this example.

Sample process ServiceAccessApproval

The process ServiceAccessApproval in short consists of the following steps: Read the complete article here.
