    Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g next launch phase – what a week of product releases! Feedback from our ACE Directors and key Partners

    July 30, 2010 Leave a comment

      Product releases:

    BPM Suite 11gR1 Released by Manoj Das

    Oracle BPM Suite 11gR1 became available for download from OTN and eDelivery. If you have been following our plans in this area, you know that this is the release unifying BEA ALBPM product, which became Oracle BPM10gR3, with the Oracle stack.

    Some of the highlights of this release are:studio-process

    • BPMN 2.0 modeling and simulation
    • Web based Process Composer for BPMN and Rules authoring
    • Zero-code environment with full access to Oracle SOA Suite’s rich set of application and other adapters
    • Process Spaces – Out-of-box integration with Web Center Suite
    • Process Analytics – Native process cubes as well as integration with Oracle BAM

    You can learn more about this release from the documentation.

    Notes about downloading and installing

    Please note that Oracle BPM Suite 11gR1 is delivered and installed as part of SOA 11.1.1.3.0, which is a sparse release (only incremental patch). To install:

    • Download and install SOA 11.1.1.2.0, which is a full release (you can find the bits at the above location)
    • Download and install SOA 11.1.1.3.0
    • During configure step (using the Fusion Middleware configuration wizard), use the Oracle Business Process Management template supplied with the SOA Suite11g (11.1.1.3.0)
    • If you plan to use Process Spaces, also install Web Center 11.1.1.3.0, which also is delivered as a sparse release and needs to be installed on top of Web Center 11.1.1.2.0
    SOA Suite 11gR1 Patch Set 2 (PS2) released by Demed L’Her

    We just released SOA Suite 11gR1 Patch Set 2 (PS2)!

    You can download it as usual from:

    11gR1 PS2 is delivered as a sparse installer, that is to say that it is meant to be applied on the latest full install (11gR1 PS1). That’s great for existing PS1 users who simply need to apply the patch and run the patch assistant – but an extra step for new users who will first need to download SOA Suite 11gR1 PS1 (in addition to the PS2 patch).

    11gR1-PS2d

    What’s in that release? Bug fixes of course but also several significant new features. Here is a short selection of the most significant ones:

    • Spring component (for native Java extensibility and integration)
    • SOA Partitions (to organize and manage your composites)
    • Direct Binding (for transactional invocations to and from Oracle Service Bus)
    • HTTP binding (for those of you trying to do away with SOAP and looking for simple GET and POST)
    • Resequencer (for ordering out-of-order messages)
    • WS Atomic Transactions (WS-AT) support (for propagation of transactions across heterogeneous environments)

    Check out the complete list of new features in PS2 for more (including links to the documentation for the above)!

    But maybe even more importantly we are also releasing Oracle Service Bus 11gR1 and BPM Suite 11gR1 at the same time – all on the same base platform (WebLogic Server 10.3.3)!

    (NB: it might take a while for all pages and caches to be updated with the new content so if you don’t find what you need today, try again soon!)

    Are you Systems Integrations and Independent Software Vendors ready to adopt and to deliver?

    Make sure that you become trained:

    Time to download the software and test the new features!
