Quick tips on Case Management audit events by Vikram Bailur

Adaptive Case Management has rich APIs to retrieve the events that transpired within a case instance. Here is an example of using case events and some important tips. This information applies to Oracle BPM 11g and 12c.

Create a java class with a main method to retrieve the case audit events

Some key tips:

1. Passing a null value for TEventType will retrieve all the case events just like the default view on the case workspace. Passing a specific value retrieves only those specific event types – see the API for more details.

2. Make sure the pageNum and pageSize are in the correct position when calling the method – it will not retrieve any values if they are wrong.

3. Using additionalCaseEventInfo.add(ICaseConstants.CaseEventInfo.taskInfo); will work only for Case activities that are Human Tasks (does not work on BPMN or custom case activities). This retrieves an oracle.bpm.casemgmt.task.model.TaskInfo object that will retrieve all the details on the task including task assignees (see oracle.bpm.casemgmt.task.model.Task API for more details).

Process Cloud Application Player by Andrejus Baranovskis

With Oracle Process Cloud you can forget these days when you was waiting long to deploy BPM process and test Human Task UI. No need to wait anymore, in Oracle Process Cloud you could use Application Player feature, this allows to run the process and test Human Task UI almost instantly.
To demonstrate Application Player functionality, I have implemented basic process of Data Entry for the Claim Handling:

This process is using Web Form in the Start activity to capture data, human activity Claim Expense Review allows to review entered data, before submitting it:

This is how Web Form UI design looks like: Read the complete article here.

Process Cloud Service – Reusable Subprocesses by Niall Commiskey

Simple scenario here –
Process A calling process B.
B has a human task –

I now validate the application –

Let’s look at the implementation of the Call activity –
Note: no processes in the dropdown list –

Reusable Subprocesses

So what’s needed here is a reusable sun-process.

This is a process with a "None" start activity.

Here is mine – as you can see, I have added an Approval task.

Process Cloud Service – Consuming ADF BC REST Service in Web Form by Andrejus Baranovskis

With the introduction of Oracle Process Cloud Service (https://cloud.oracle.com/process) there is an option to run your business process in the cloud. You can implement very similar things as it is possible with BPM 12c in JDeveloper, but only in the cloud. There is no option to implement human task UI with ADF, it must be done with Web Forms (light UI forms implementation framework). This is disadvantage, as it will require to externalise complex business logic and access data collections through REST calls, instead of processing it locally in ADF extension. However, this is how it is implemented currently in the BPM cloud version.
This is how it looks – Web Form editor in Process Cloud Service:

You have an option to select specific types from component palette. There are such types as money, email, phone, text. Components are provided with built in validation, checks for valid email address, etc. User who implements a form, needs to drag and drop components one by one (generally it works OK, but sometimes may get stuck and page refresh will be required). Properties section is available to enter details for the selected component.
Cool part about it – we can define business logic rules. For example, to show/hide customer field based on trip type, etc. One of the rules below, shows how REST service can be called inline and REST response is applied for drop-down field. This is pretty simple to fetch data from external REST service and use it for the Web Form component. Just invoke REST service and assign collection to the component supporting array of data: Read the complete article here.
