Process Documentation in Oracle BPM 12.1.3 by Mike Keane

November 25, 2014 Leave a comment

Your ability to add process documentation has been greatly enhanced in BPM 12.1.3. Some of the key enhancements are:

  • The narrative view allows you to write and/or edit in plain language. The narrative view is always in sync with the graphical view so you can see immediately the impact of your changes on the model. You can also add documentation to activities in-line.
  • Business properties can be added to processes and activities, and then you can create process reports that will show all properties for processes and activities in one document.
  • New process reports have been added to allow you to create a variety of different business reports to share.

BPM 12c Installation Improvements and Issues with Mac by Andrejus Baranovkis

November 24, 2014 Leave a comment

Oracle BPM 12c is improved with a great installation process – simplified and stable. You only need to download single installation package, run a wizard and after several clicks it gets installed. All required products are installed for you out of the box, no extra configuration is needed – JDeveloper, BPM/SOA extensions, BPM/SOA schemas in Java DB. Developer can focus on his development tasks, no need to spend days to install and configure development environment. You should read official guide – Quick Start for Oracle Business Process Management Suite.

Installer works on Mac OS platform, you can install entire Oracle BPM 12c infrastructure and run domain. However, it fails to open Human Task wizard, while running JDEV on Mac OS. I have developed extremely basic Oracle BPM 12c sample application, to test Human Task wizard with JDeveloper installed on Oracle Enterprise Linux and on Mac OS – BpmApplication.zip.
It works fine to load Human Task wizard with JDeveloper 12c installed on Linux:
The same Human Task fails to open with JDeveloper 12c installed on Mac OS. There is Null Pointer exception generated, thrown from JDeveloper IDE class: Read the complete article here.

My Favorite PeopleSoft Flavor: Vanilla by Vivek Ahuja

November 23, 2014 Leave a comment

This post provides an overview of how Oracle BPM can be used with PeopleSoft to gain more out of your ERP. It also covers how to go about separating the process and personalization/customization layers from your ERP, to encourage leveraging more vanilla, out-of-the-box ERP functionality, rather than an over customized, costly to maintain version. Oracle BPM takes out the process inefficiencies associated with your ERP. It provides you with a range of different governance and workflow capabilities, which allows you to efficiently operate in your ERP with robust drill down features. This enables your process users and key stakeholders to uncover operational gaps that may be hindering your business from attaining efficiency gains or untapped revenue channels.

BPM 12c – Process Asset Manager (PAM) by Antonis Antoniou

November 21, 2014 Leave a comment

An entirely new feature has been introduced in Oracle BPM 12c called “Process Asset Manager” (PAM) which makes it really simple and reliable to share projects between BPM Studio and BPM Process Composer, providing a unified lifecycle management of BPM projects across BPM Process Composer and BPM Studio tools and offering seamless collaboration across the various personas in a BPM project.
PAM comes with an integrated subversion source control system for version management of BPM assets and can be integrated with OPSS for security and can reference the MDS for run-time artifacts.

So let’s see the lifecycle of PAM from the two different interfaces, starting with the Process Composer.
For the needs of this tutorial I have created a sample Hello BPM project with a synchronous process. Read the complete article here.

BPM 12.1.3 Process Documentation Sample available on java.net

November 19, 2014 Leave a comment

image Two 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.
