Controlling BPEL process flow at runtime by Maarten Smeets

When using Oracle BPEL it is often desirable to allow a certain amount of configuration of the process flow at runtime. To allow configuration, properties/preferences/parameters can be used. These can be implemented in various ways. Lucas Jellema has described a method in the Oracle SOA Suite 11g Handbook (http://www.amazon.com/Oracle-SOA-Suite-Handbook-Press/dp/0071608974 page 252) for system parameters which uses Business Rules. In this blog post, I compare three other methods; using Domain Value Maps, using BPEL preferences and using a database table. I look at performance, development, re-use potential, updating the preference at runtime and when to use which method.

Implementation
For comparing the different methods I used a simple synchronous HelloWorld BPEL process with audit logging turned off. The property to be fetched is the greeting (Hello). The process itself returns its input prepended by the greeting followed by a space. Thus for example input: Maarten, output: Hello Maarten.

Domain Value Map
Domain Value Maps (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/integration.1111/e10224/med_dvm.htm) are an underestimated feature from Oracle SOA Suite. An XML file called DVM (domain value map) allows storing domains and domain values. In JDeveloper wizards are available to create and fill the DVM file. XPath expressions can be used to easily query these domains and use them in for example BPEL, BPM or the OSB (http://guidoschmutz.wordpress.com/2009/12/25/implement-domain-value-maps-dvm-with-oracle-service-bus-osb-10r3/). The SOA Composer (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15523_01/integration.1111/e10224/med_dvm_ui.htm) provides a GUI for editing DVM’s at runtime. DVM’s can be shared among processes by putting them in the MDS.

Development
The below screenshot shows how JDeveloper makes it easy to create and use a DVM. In one screenshot how a DVM can be edited at design-time in the top/left part of the screenshot and XPath expressions can be used (bottom part) to let the BPEL process query the DVM at runtime.

How to configure Oracle SOA/BPM task auto release by Rubix

01When a Oracle SOA or BPM workflow task is assigned to a role and/or group, a user may acquire the task to work on it. Once the task is acquired, other users are not able to work on that specific task. In the Oracle SOA-INFRA, used by both SOA Suite and BPM Suite, there is a feature called ‘task auto release’ which allows to configure the duration before tasks are automatically released and made available for all other users again.

In Enterprise Manager go to soa-infra -> SOA Administration -> Workflow Properties

Select the Task tab and expand Advanced. There you can see there are default values for automatically releasing tasks according to their priority. In the screenshot below the default value of P3D (3 Days) is changed to P1TM (1 minute) for testing purposes. This is done for the priority 3 task, which is the default priority. Read the complete article here.
