BPM 11g: Instance Patching Revisited: Inability to Create New Instances by Mark Foster

January 27, 2015 Leave a comment

 

clip_image002Introduction

Back in 2012 after the release of BPM 11g PS4FP I wrote a blog entry on Instance Patching, what it was and how it worked.

Remember, instance patching is redeployment of a composite on the same Revision ID with “keep running instances” option, as opposed to instance migration which follows deployment of a new composite with a new Revision ID and selected instances migrated from the old to the new revision.

I’ve decided to revisit the subject in a little more detail on the back of an issue a customer had with instance patching…. they’d redeployed a composite after making a very small “compatible” change to the BPM process and subsequently found that they could not instantiate new instances. This blog will detail why this situation happened and how to recover from it.

Walk-through of the Issue

Revisit the Process

From the previous blog entry we had a very simple process with three human activities and file write….

….we instantiated several instances and progressed them to various different human activities… Read the complete article here.

Creating Custom BPM Work List for Human Tasks based in ADF by Mark Peterson

January 26, 2015 Leave a comment

 

clip_image002If you ever need a custom work list and need to open the human task from this list, then this blog can help you. All you really need to do is find the list of tasks and create the URL that opens the task from the custom work list. This is not as straightforward as it seems since the URL contains some dynamic fields that you will need to derive from information about the tasks.

The need for a custom work list usually involves some sort of relationship between instances in a process, or between tasks in different processes such that the OOTB functionality of the BPM workspace is not sufficient. The user wants to see a logical grouping of tasks or between parent and child tasks. These tasks should be shown grouped together. These tasks can be shown in a table or tree format and each task should have a link to click on to open the task directly from the form. This is an example of such a list and grouping.

Use Cases

The relationships between tasks may consist of simple parent/child relationships. The above table was used to implement a custom ACM UI where each of these tasks (children) are activities for a given case (parent). Here a work request (case) with several child tasks, or activities are listed along with the status, description due date, started date and assignee. Notice the links to open the task or reassign the task.

Another example is when a tasks is related to another other (like siblings) by customer or account ID. In all of these examples, the user wants a convenient way to jump directly to the related task, without closing the current task or form, going to the work space, finding and opening the task from the work space. Here are some example users stories this post can help you implement.

  1. As an agent, I want to open a task associated with a leg of a trip from the trip overview page, so I don’t have to search and find the task in the workspace, when I’m working on the trip.
  2. As a user, I want to be able to see all tasks associated with a work requests and be able to open a task to work on it without having to find the task in the workspace when I’m working on the work request.
  3. As a underwriter, I want to be able to see all related line items on a insurance policy and be able to jump to any of these line items from any other line item in the policy without need to find and open the line item from the workspace.
ADF URL Parameters

The URL pattern you need to construct is as follows:

http://hostname:port/faces/adf.task-flow?bpmWorklistTaskId=<TaskId>&adf….

The following parameters needs to be derived and appended to this URL using the amphersand "&" as a delimiter between parameters and an equal sign "=" between the parameter and value. The parameter value pair a listed in the following table. Read the complete article here.

Oracle API Management – An Overview of API Catalog and API Manager incl. a demo

Mobile applications increasingly use Application Programming interfaces (APIs) in addition to enterprise systems of record in their development. The importance of an API economy is growing by the day. As the number of APIs produced and consumed by enterprises increases, thanks to an exponential growth of mobiles, tablets, smart devices and computing platforms, the management and visibility of these APIs becomes increasingly important.

Oracle API Catalog (OAC) and the upcoming Oracle API Manager allow organizations to easily manage their APIs and build a catalog of their APIs, powered by the industry leading Oracle Service Bus backbone (in case of API Manager), thus providing visibility and control to the enterprise and a social catalog to API consumers for application development. Come and find out more on this session, incl. the exciting demo.

Navigating Oracle BAM 12c Composer’s New "Administrator" Page by Ryan Ray

January 25, 2015 Leave a comment

 

clip_image002With the latest release of Oracle BAM 12c (12.1.3), Oracle has completely redesigned the user interface (UI) and this is the third post in a four part series of posts introducing this new UI.

Part 1 – Introducing the New Oracle BAM 12c Composer

Part 2 – Navigating Oracle BAM 12c Composer’s New "Home" Page

Part 3 – Navigating Oracle BAM 12c Composer’s New "Administrator" Page

Part 4 – (Coming Soon) Navigating Oracle BAM 12c Composer’s New "Designer" Page

In this post, I will give you a brief overview of the new "Administrator" page and hopefully provide you with some insight into the redesign and how to navigate within the new UI.

BAM Composer Administrator Page View

By default, the Administrator page loads with a static image in the main section and with a Navigation Pane on the left-hand side.  With the Navigation Pane you have the option to add, edit/view, delete or refresh the four types of objects using the icons at the top of the Navigation Pane..

BAM Composer Administrator Objects

  • Data Objects
  • Enterprise Message Sources
  • Continuous Queries Monitoring
  • Viewset Monitoring

The Navigation Pane can also be collapsed to provide additional space for the main section.

BAM Composer Data Objects

In the image below you will see the out-of-the-box structure of the BAM Composer Data Objects.  In the fourth post in this series, I will go into further details on the out-of-the-box data objects and their different types. Read the complete article here.

BPM 12c Migration – A Hand of Friendship to Oracle BPM 10g by Suyash Khot

January 24, 2015 Leave a comment

 

There are a lot of benefits to be reaped by migrating a BPM 10g project to 12c. For one, Oracle BPM 12c is built on a Service Component Architecture (SCA) runtime. SCA is an industry standard architecture that provides a model for composing applications that follow SOA principles, like component reuse, OOTB error handling and transaction management, and flexible development to name a few.

With the introduction of Oracle BPM Suite 12c (12.1.3), one of the key features introduced is a migration path for Oracle BPM 10g projects to 12c. Such a feature was not available in 11g and there was little to no hope for BPM 10g projects to be migrated to 11g. That hope has come alive with the introduction of 12c and so I decided to give it a shot. Below I have listed the steps to follow to do a 10g to 12c migration and summarized by findings.

1) Install Oracle BPM Suite 12c

First off, download the Oracle BPM Suite 12c quick start installer from Oracle’s website here. This installer includes JDeveloper 12c with SOA and BPM extensions. The installer also includes the migration utility, which is an ANT task.

2) Install ANT

The migration utility readme.txt recommends to use ANT version 1.8.4.

3) Execute the ANT task

The migration utility can be found under $JDEV_HOME\soa\plugins\jdeveloper\bpm. The build.xml file has all the ANT tasks. The ANT task for the migration from 10g to 12c is “migrate10-12”, where source is the folder location of the 10g project and target is the folder location where the 12c project export will be created. Replace source and target appropriately and execute the below command.

ant migrate10-12 -DprojectLocation=source -Ddestination=target

4) Analyze the ANT task execution

Once the ANT task execution completes successfully, it creates the 12c project export in the target folder specified. This folder contains the following:

  • The exported version of the 12c project (.exp).
  • The migration report (.xml) and its stylesheet (.xsl). Best when viewed via a browser.
  • The 10g project artifacts list (.csv).
  • The folder with 12c project SOA components.
5) Import the 12c project

To import the exported version of the 12c project into JDeveloper, open the 12c JDeveloper. Create a BPM Application. Go to File -> Import  -> Import BPM Project. Browse to the target folder and select the .exp file. This is a list of some of the artifact mappings: Read the complete article here.
