Process Cloud Composer Tour by Gregory Hughlett

 

clip_image002There are many good reasons for business to look very seriously at the Oracle Process Cloud Service as a way to provision a fully managed BPM environment that lets the business focus on process improvement.  Previous releases of Oracle BPM admitedly have focused on the technologist and not the business user.  However, the evolution to the Process Cloud has been underway since 11g via the Process Composer tool.  Process Cloud now makes it available to everyone.

For the business, there are many reasons to move to the Oracle Process Cloud: 

  • It wlll lower start-up and upfront costs for both IT infrastructure and software licenses. 
  • Cloud implementations reduce risks associated with large capital investment with smoother predictable operational expenditures. Large one-time software upgrade costs are also eliminated.
  • Cloud customers benefit from using the latest product version and can rapidly leverage new feature capabilities. 
  • Requires the business to pay only for what they need, rather than over or under engineering an on premise business application.  "Elastic scalability’ ensures the business only pays for the capacity that is needed when it is needed.
  • Provides high performance and continuous availability: automatic load balancing and failover provide continuous availability.

The first release of the Oracle Process Cloud provides a full lifecycle, soup to nuts process management tool.  The Process Cloud user interface is fast, modern, and designed for the business. It isn’t designed for the IT types (although us IT types will enjoy using them too.)  This topic is a tour through many of the Process Cloud screens at a high level so you can get a feel for how complete it is.  Many of the features you’ll see here can also be found in the on-premise Process Composer tool, a web-based tool, also oriented to business users.      

Process Composer Home

Depending on your role in the Process Cloud environment, you will have different options available on the Process Composer main page. Read the complete article here.

A quick look at Process Cloud Service by Laurens van der Starre

 

clip_image002Oracle Process Cloud Service is Oracle’s rapid process automation in the Cloud. It is more or less BPM in the cloud. This service allows you to quickly and easily create business processes like you are used to with Oracle BPM, only now in the cloud. In this post I’ll give a quick tour of this service.

So let’s start with the Process Cloud Service. The landing page already gives you loads of features.

Here you have your spaces in which your processes will be saved, and where you start building new applications. So let’s create a new one. Read the complete article here.

Process Cloud – first impressions by Luc Gorissen

 

clip_image002As of this week, Oracle has released the Oracle Process Cloud Service (PCS): https://cloud.oracle.com/process. This PaaS cloud service offers a development platform for implementing business processes. Underpinning technology for this cloud service is the Oracle Fusion Middleware BPM stack. As a result, using the Process Cloud Service should be easy for people that are already familiar with Oracle Fusion Middleware BPM. For example, familiar platform components like BPM Composer and BPM WorkSpace are also present in PCS. With that in mind, we decided to give it a go!

This article outlines the steps for implementing a simple process in the Oracle Process Cloud Service. We were inspired during a discussion with a customer on SOA Governance, more specifically: how to handle/grant access to specific services. The customer mentioned that ‘he had people were complaining that it was unpredictable how long it took before access to a specific service in a specific environment was granted’. These types of processes can be handled very well within the Oracle Process Cloud. So, the ‘ServiceAccessApproval’ process will be shown in this example.

Sample process ServiceAccessApproval

The process ServiceAccessApproval in short consists of the following steps: Read the complete article here.

Fusion Middleware 12c – Selective tracing by Michel Schildmeijer

 

clip_image002For doing a good diagnosis in case of a problem in your Oracle Fusion Middleware Product, the platform offers you many methods and techniques to do your investigation. The disadvantage from some of these methods is that they have some impact on your system, such as if you would raise the log or debuglevel or use diagnostic snapshots.

Selective Tracing is a facility available through Enterprise Manager to limit the scope of trace logging.This allows for debugging of a production system without overloading the system with logging activity. To use Selective Tracing, perform the following method:

1. On the left expand ‘WebLogic Domain’
2. Open Enterprise Manager: http://<your host>:7001/em

3. Right click your domain name -> Logs -> Selective Tracing. This will bring you to the following screen where you can configure your Selective Tracing session. Click on add fields and select as below: Read the complete article here.
