BPM Suite 12c: Oracle Business Rules – Verbal Rules By Marcel van de Glind

October 14, 2014 2 Comments

In this blog post I will transform a Decision Table step-by-step into the new Verbal Rules. As a starting point I created a composite with a BPM, a BPEL and a Rules component. Both BPM and BPEL components use the same Rules component. See the following three screenshots. You can download the sample application with this starting point from here.

My first take on SOA/BPM Suite 12c. by Jang Vijay Singh

October 13, 2014 Leave a comment

The Oracle Fusion Middleware circles have been abuzz this weekend with the launch of the latest and greatest release of BPM/SOA Suite 12c.
The 12c release announcement late Friday evening (GMT+1, UK time) caught me pleasantly off guard as during the past 6 months I have been very focused on a client project.

Listing below are just a few of my initial notes on the features that caught my attention.
– Experience with initial installation
Downloaded the generic quick start installation bundle for 64 bit JVM’s.
After the download, it took 9 minutes to install and get JDev running with a blank BPM project (Others on the twitter hashtag #BPMSuite12c reported around 15-20 minutes so I think my lower time might be due to the solid state drive in my laptop). Configuration of the integrated domain and launching the server took longer though but was straightforward and smooth.
I really might be one of the first few in the UK (maybe even the first) who reported installing 12c on the twitter hashtag #BPMSuite12c (1:30 AM UK Time on the 28th of June) after its public release.
– True convergence of BPM and BPA?
Sounds like marketingspeak, but that is the phrase that comes to mind when I see the new ‘BA’ circle that surrounds the familiar ‘BPM loop’ I felt the BPM Composer 11g completely lacked BPA (business process analysis) support but that seems to have changed now..
– Feature: process comparator/ history tab in BPMN
I had noticed in earlier releases that the ‘history’ tab used to be missing in the JDeveloper BPMN studio’s process designer view. BPMN definition is essentially just another XML file (albeit a lot more complex to interpret without tool support unlike BPEL) so this didn’t make much sense. Seeing the ‘history’ tab with the ‘process comparator’ feature made me realise why it took this long. It’s a fairly complex feature to have (and very useful to have for any collaborative development or even for any to-and-fro between the composer and JDev BPM studio). They needed to get it right.

BPM Suite 12c: Quick Start installation – 20 minutes and good to go By Lucas Jellema

October 10, 2014 Leave a comment

Oracle released BPM Suite 12c in June 2014. Just like SOA Suite 12c – released the day before – this SNAGHTML224b04release comes with the quick start option: to quickly start going through development and test iterations, the development environment (JDeveloper + BPM Studio) is now equipped with an Integrated WLS that contains the BPM Suite 12c run time engine. All one needs to not only develop but also to run a BPM process is packaged in a single environment that is installed from a single file (well, a single ZIP file that contains two jar files). It takes no longer than 20 minutes to have your first process up and running.
I will tell you how to do that – on Windows in this case. (the documentation on the installation process is also quite clear – see http://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1213/jdev/install/install.htm#CHDIDICH)
1. Go to OTN (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bpm/downloads/index.html) and download the BPM Suite 12.1.3 installation file (3.8 GB)

THANKS to all BPM Community Partners for the excellent BPM Suite 12c launch. It was an amazing 50 hours of an almost around the clock twitter storm! Superb to see all the SOA Specialized partners who now add BPM Suite services to their projects and who implement all the large projects in Europe!
With BPM Suite 12c we now have the opportunity to upsell all SOA Suite customers to BPM Suite. Specially the new BPM Suite features for business users like KPI management and process analytics are exciting. Also in BPM Suite 12c developer productivity is a huge step forward!

Adaptive Case Management – Exposing the API – part 2 by Roger Goossens

October 4, 2014 Leave a comment

In the previous blogpost we’ve built a custom java API on top of the ACM api. In this blogpost we’ll make a service of this API exposing its public methods and test it against a small test case.

TestCase somposite
TestCase
The TestCase for this blogpost is also available on GitHub. It’s a small composite containing a simple case called TestCase.
Milestones
We’ve got 2 milestones in the case, one called caseStarted, which is set after the case has started, and the other is called testUserEventFired signalling that the user event testUserEvent has been fired.
Stakeholders
The only stakeholder for the case is called CustomStakeholder of which the user weblogic is a member.
User Events
We’ve defined a user event called testUserEvent. This is the event we’ll be firing via our exposed API later on.
Organization
The CustomStakeHolder Role has been added to the project with the weblogic user as its member.
Business Rules
The TestCase contains 2 business rules for setting milestones. Read the complete article here.
