The ACM Awards are the ideal way to be recognized by the industry, to publicly acknowledge and recognize the efforts of your team and to inject passion in to your case management excellence.

Adaptive Case Management (ACM) and Production Case Management (PCM) are new technological approaches to supporting knowledge workers in today’s leading edge organizations. The practice of ACM is rapidly growing. To help people learn and adopt this approach, the Workflow Management Coalition has instituted the ACM Global Excellence Awards to gather and recognize some of the best examples. Do you have an interesting Use Case? Start by simply submitting an abstract for the opportunity to win an award and publication in a new book on ACM to be published in the Fall. Previous years’ winners have been published in there two books: Taming the Unpredictable and How Knowledge Workers Get Things Done.

Abstracts are due on Feb 18, and completed submission is due in April. You still have time to get global recognition for the work you have been doing. Finalists and winners are selected by a panel of 16 volunteer judges drawn from experts in this field, headed by an Advisory Panel comprising Tom Koulopoulos, Delphi Group, Hugh McKellar, KMWorld and Connie Moore, Forrester Research. Visit www.AdaptiveCaseManagement.org to find out more.

Thriving On Adaptability: Best Practices for Knowledge Workers by Keith Swenson

clip_image001Adaptive Case Management is ultimately about allowing knowledge workers to work the way that they want to work and to provide them with the tools and information they need to do so effectively.

As Surendra Reddy points out in his foreword:
“Imagine a fully integrated ACM system layered into the value stream of an enterprise. The customer support team is able to focus on customer needs, with easy access to the entire company’s repertoire of knowledge, similar cases, information, and expertise, as if it were a service. To truly accommodate customers, companies must vest real power and authority in the people and systems that interact directly with customers, at the edge of the organization and beyond. ACM augments business processes to deliver true data-driven process infrastructure entering enterprises into the age of intelligent machines and intelligent processes. ACM empowers the knowledge worker to collaborate, derive new insights, and fine tune the way of doing business by placing customers right in the left where they belong, to drive innovation and organizational efficiencies across the global enterprise.
“ACM also helps organizations focus on improving or optimizing the line of interaction where our people and systems come into direct contact with customers. It’s a whole different thing; a new way of doing business that enables organizations to literally become one living-breathing entity via collaboration and adaptive data-driven biological-like operating systems. ACM is not just another acronym or business fad. ACM is the process, strategy, framework, and set of tools that enables this evolution and maturity.
“ACM, in my opinion, is the future blueprint for the way of doing business.”

Thriving on Adaptability describes the work of managers, decision makers, executives, doctors, lawyers, campaign managers, emergency responders, strategists, and many others who have to think for a living. These are people who figure out what needs to be done, at the same time that they do it.

In award-winning case studies covering industries as a diverse as law enforcement, transportation, insurance, banking, state services, and healthcare, you will find instructive examples for how to transform your own organization.

This important book follows the ground-breaking best-sellers, Empowering Knowledge Workers, Taming the Unpredictable, How Knowledge Workers Get Things Done, and Mastering the Unpredictable and provides important papers by thought-leaders in this field, together with practical examples, detailed ACM case studies and product reviews. Get the book here.

Running Oracle BPM 12c on AWS by Jorge Quilcate

 

clip_image002

In this post, I will show how to create an AWS EC2 Instance with an Oracle BPM 12c Quickstart Domain created. And I will use previous post for related tasks.

Lets see how to achieve this and make this process reusable. These are the steps:

· Create an AWS EC2 instance (with Vagrant)

· Connect to an NFS instance to get the installer (with Chef)

· Install Oracle BPM 12c Quickstart and create a Domain (with Chef)

GitHub repository: Here

Create an AWS EC2 instance

I’ve created a Red Hat instance using Vagrant. This instance should be connected to my NFS instance that has all the Oracle’s installers (to create an NFS instance on AWS EC2: go here).

This is the NFS instance: Read the complete article here.

BPM Workspace Login with libOVD and LDAP, Part 2: Login by Siming Mu

 

clip_image002Introduction

In Part 1, we looked at the initialization of libOVD at server startup. Now let’s examine what happens inside libOVD when you actually click on the login button in BPM Workspace. Again, we are looking at BPM 11g PS5 BP7 with Patch 17315336.

The Workspace login is a two step process. The first step is checking the username and password against the LDAP. This step is performed in WLS security layer rather than the JPS layer. This means even if you turn on tracing in libOVD, you won’t see any trace log message related to this step.

The second step starts after the user credentials are successfully verified. In this step, the Workspace first constructs a Workflow context object, which triggers a user lookup query against the LDAP, and then it makes a request to the BPM server which invokes the follow method:

oracle.bpel.services.workflow.common.provider.WorkflowWSProvider.processMessage

BPM 12c Migration – A Deep Dive into a Simple 10g Process Migration by Aaron Dolan

 

clip_image002Since Oracle BPM 12c was released this summer, many of our legacy BPM 10g customers have begun to ask what to expect from the migration path.  As my colleague Suyash Khot discussed in his article Oracle BPM 12c Migration – A Hand of Friendship to Oracle BPM 10g, Oracle has luckily given us a migration utility to kick-start the process of moving code from Oracle BPM 10g to Oracle BPM 12c.  While this utility is incredibly valuable and indeed very easy to use, it is well worth discussing the advantages and challenges this conversion presents us with.

This is the first in a series of articles where I’ll explore how various 10g coding patterns are translated into 12c and how we might overcome some of the issues this presents us with.  While in many cases the conversion is clean and maintenance-free, in other cases there is work to be done and issues to be on the lookout for.

In preparation for this article, I created a very simple, happy path Order Entry process in Oracle BPM 10g: Read the complete article here.

Adaptive Case Management 12c and ADF Human Tasks by Andrejus Baranovskis

 

clip_image002I’m diving into the new topic – Adaptive Case Management 12c and ADF integration. Today will be the first post in the category and there are more posts planned for the future. I strongly believe that ACM (Adaptive Case Management) makes a great extension for standard BPM. Mainly because it allows to define a loose process, without strict order steps. Process steps can be executed in different order, depending on the situation requirements, at given time. I will be explaining how to implement ADF Human Task for ACM activity and will share several tips, how to make it run in BPM Workspace application.
This is how sample application (HotelBookingProcessing_v1.zip) is constructed, there are two Human Tasks (AddHotelBooking and ValidateHoteBooking) and HotelBookingProcessing Case control:

HotelBookinfProcessing case is defined with Hotel Booking Details data type (this type is based on XSD schema and is defined as Business Component variable – don’t mix up with ADF Business Components) – you can think about it as about main data structure type for the case, this can be transferred into every case activity: Read the complete article here.
