Force dehydration in Oracle Business Process Management by Jan van Zoggel

November 27, 2013 Leave a comment

Oracle BPM Catch Timer Event Oracle Business Process Management uses transactions to control the steps throughout it’s processes. In the Oracle BPEL processes you are able to use a checkpoint to explicit force a dehydration during your process.

Oracle BPMN doesn’t have a specific activity to perform the same. However you can force a dehydration by using a timer catch event in your process. Setting the timer to 2 seconds is sufficient.

(I think this might actually be 1 second, but the manual claims that the duration should be more than 1 second so we use 2 seconds to be sure).

Business Process Management + Social + Mobile = Recipe for Effective Customer Experience by Ajay Khanna

November 26, 2013 Leave a comment

Most organizations know why customer experience is so important, but many companies still fail to deliver.

Inconsistent Customer Experiences Drive Customers Away

Not longer than a month ago, I wanted to order a mobile phone for a family member in Michigan. I was in San Jose, the high-tech capital, so I went online to the company’s website and placed the order. The phone was to be delivered to the Michigan address with an Ann Arbor area code within three days, but it didn’t happen.
On the fourth day, I called the company’s support center to check the status and was told that since I had ordered via the website, I needed to wait a week for the order to get into the call center system. I waited a few more days and called back. A seemingly helpful call center agent was able to locate my order and duly informed me that the order had been canceled because the billing zip code on my credit card didn’t match the area code for the new phone number! It wasn’t until I made time to visit a kiosk at the local mall that I was able to get everything resolved.

This type of service (or lack thereof) does not sit well with customers today. Customers have a choice and a voice, and the voice is amplified many folds with social media. What today’s consumers demand (or what I would have liked) is an experience that is consistent across all channels, contextual to their needs and adaptable to their situation.

Customers use multiple channels to interact with a company throughout their relationship with the company. They expect a consistent experience, no matter which interaction channel they choose. Customers don’t want to repeat the information they’ve already provided, and require companies to recall their preferences, and offer relevant products and services.

Business Process Management + Social + Mobile = Engaged Customers

Because so many customer experiences are linked to underlying business processes, Business Process Management technology is very well suited to help improve engagement with customers through different lifecycles, whether it is customer sales, support or provisioning. Combine (and integrate) that with the advantages of social and mobile and you can extend the value that was not possible in the past. Read the full article here.

Debugging Oracle Business Process Management and Events (Oracle EDN) by Jan van Zoggel

November 22, 2013 Leave a comment

We are using Oracle EDN events to communicate between Oracle Business Process Management instances and from the Oracle ADF tasks to Oracle Business Process Management. We use the correlation configuration to make sure the events arrive at the correct instances.

We had our share of problems with events during our project and it often took us some time to debug it. Since documentation is scattered across blogs, support sites and some manuals to configure the whole setup. The documentation about debugging your problems is very thin.

1. Check EM logging (duh)
All event steps are logged and the Enterprise Manager ECID (Execution Context ID) can help you detect what is going wrong.
2. Use Oracle Enterprise Manager’s ability to check the Business Events:
right click soa-infra and voila: Business Events! It shows an overview of registered events, amounts, subscriptions and is also the place for recovery of your events,
3. Check your Oracle Business Process Management project project_properties.wsdl file Read the full article here

In the previous blog entry we started to look at case artefacts, specifically case activities and how we should design these at the correct level of granularity.

In this entry we’ll look at case rules, the “glue” that connects case artefacts together at the level of the case.

Case Artefacts & Case Rules

As of PS6, the design-time for Case Management inside Business Process Management Studio has no “holistic” view of the case and its artefacts, however this is planned for a future release. In the absence of this I’ve been trying to understand how it would be possible to visualize everything that makes up a case and how these things are interrelated.

A Mind Mapping Approach

My colleagues Prasen Palvankar & Ravi Rangaswamy came up with a neat use of mind-mapping to show the case & its relationships.

… I find this great for understanding the questions that need to be asked in the design of a case from within Business Process Management Studio…”who are the stakeholders”, “what are the case activities”, “which documents can be attached to the case” etc. but from this I could still not immediately grasp what my case looked like and the relationship between the artefacts.
