BPM 12.1.3 Process Documentation Sample available on java.net

December 29, 2014 Leave a comment

clip_image002Two weeks ago I blogged about the new features and improvements to process documentation in Oracle BPM 12.1.3. A sample is now available on java.net for download. This sample includes:
  • A lab document explaining how to use the import feature in Oracle BPM Composer and Studio to convert Visio, XPDL, BPMN 2.0, Oracle Workflow, and Tutor documents into BPM processes. A sample Visio file is included in the download so you can see how the feature works.
  • The same lab document leads you through adding process documentation via the business properties.
  • You are also guided through using the narrative view to edit your sample process.
  • Then the lab prompts you to create process reports to bring all of your process documentation together in one HTML or PDF document.

The sample also includes a lab solution so you can import the project with all of the process documentation already added.

Integrating With Fusion Application Using Services (SoapUi – SSL) By Jani Rautiainen

December 25, 2014 Leave a comment

clip_image002Fusion Applications provides web services that allow external systems to integrate with Fusion Applications. There are two types of services: ADF services and composite services. ADF services are created for a logical business object and provide functionality to access and manipulate these objects. The composite services are mostly process oriented and provide an orchestration of multiple steps.  
Information about the web services provided by Fusion Applications is hosted in Oracle Enterprise Repository (OER). The information provided by OER can be used to understand the functionality provided by the service and how the service can be called.
This series of articles describes how one can invoke SOAP web services provided by Fusion Applications using various technologies. In previous article we covered how to invoke a Fusion Application web service secured with simple username token using SoapUI. In this article we will cover a call to service secured with SSL policy.

Prerequisites

SoapUi

The reader is expected to have SoapUI installed.

Fusion Applications Web Service Policy

This example covers a call to a web service that support user name tokens and SSL. The example was tested with a service using "oracle/wss_username_token_over_ssl_service_policy" commonly available for Oracle SaaS environments.

Implementing Web Service Call

Generally the steps to call a SSL and non-SSL services are the same. The SSL services are however commonly configured to validate a timestamp though. So calls to SSL services commonly require the "wsu:Timestamp" element and the value used must be within tolerance. If the timestamp is not provided or the value is not within the tolerance you would see error such as:

      <env:Fault xmlns:ns0="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">
         <faultcode>ns0:InvalidSecurityToken</faultcode>
         <faultstring>InvalidSecurityToken : The security token is not valid.</faultstring>
         <faultactor/>
      </env:Fault>

New Features and Changes in BPM 12c by David Winters

December 23, 2014 Leave a comment

clip_image002At the Oracle BPM 12c summer camp in Lisbon, I had a chance to deep-dive into world of Oracle BPM suite 12c which went GA at the end of June. In this blog, I will discuss which I believe are the most notable changes in the BPM 12c product, some of which also impact SOA suite 12c since the BPM suite shares some components with the SOA suite including the human workflow and business rules engine among others as we can see from the diagram below. Furthermore, both the BPEL and BPMN service engines share fundamentally the same codebase. Read the complete article here.

New Types of Modeling in Oracle BPM 12c Process Composer by Jessica Ray

December 21, 2014 Leave a comment

clip_image002Enterprise Maps, Value Chain Modeling and Strategy Models – These are all new modeling types that are introduced as part of the Oracle Process Composer in the 12.1.3 version of the Oracle BPM Suite.

Here is a quick, two minute tour of these new modeling types in Oracle Process Composer.

Video

Types of Modeling

These new types of modeling are a step in the right direction for business to model the high level models and map them to the lower level, executable business models.

Enterprise Maps

Enterprise Maps are the highest level of modeling, level 0. The show lanes and process areas. Some common examples of process areas are Sales, Marketing, HR and R&D. Of course, the process areas in an Enterprise Map will very much depend on the type of organization that is being modeled and the structure of that organization.

“The Enterprise Map described the primary business functions of an enterprise and the pieces of the organization that perform those functions” – Oracle Process Composer Watch the video here.

BPM 12c Gateways (Part 1 of 5): Exclusive Gateway by Antonis Antoniou

December 20, 2014 Leave a comment

clip_image002

Oracle BPM provides us with various components to control the flow of a process such as gateways, timer events, errors, message events, send and receive tasks, loop markers and multi-instance markers.
In this five part series part I will be elaborating the gateway control flow components and how we can use them to define the flow of our process.
Gateways are very similar to a flowchart decision element. Using a gateway you can define the control points within your process by splitting and merging paths. At runtime a gateway will determine based on the control points defined at design time the path that a token will take through a process.
There are five gateway types; Exclusive Gateway (XOR), Inclusive Gateway (OR),  Parallel Gateway, Event Based Gateway and Complex Gateway.
Exclusive and Inclusive gateways consist of two outbound sequence flows; a default sequence flow representing the normal path between two objects and a conditional sequence flow to control the process flow based on the evaluation of an expression. Read the complete article here.
