BPM 11g: Instance Patching Revisited: Inability to Create New Instances by Mark Foster

January 27, 2015 Leave a comment

 

clip_image002Introduction

Back in 2012 after the release of BPM 11g PS4FP I wrote a blog entry on Instance Patching, what it was and how it worked.

Remember, instance patching is redeployment of a composite on the same Revision ID with “keep running instances” option, as opposed to instance migration which follows deployment of a new composite with a new Revision ID and selected instances migrated from the old to the new revision.

I’ve decided to revisit the subject in a little more detail on the back of an issue a customer had with instance patching…. they’d redeployed a composite after making a very small “compatible” change to the BPM process and subsequently found that they could not instantiate new instances. This blog will detail why this situation happened and how to recover from it.

Walk-through of the Issue

Revisit the Process

From the previous blog entry we had a very simple process with three human activities and file write….

….we instantiated several instances and progressed them to various different human activities… Read the complete article here.

Creating Custom BPM Work List for Human Tasks based in ADF by Mark Peterson

January 26, 2015 Leave a comment

 

clip_image002If you ever need a custom work list and need to open the human task from this list, then this blog can help you. All you really need to do is find the list of tasks and create the URL that opens the task from the custom work list. This is not as straightforward as it seems since the URL contains some dynamic fields that you will need to derive from information about the tasks.

The need for a custom work list usually involves some sort of relationship between instances in a process, or between tasks in different processes such that the OOTB functionality of the BPM workspace is not sufficient. The user wants to see a logical grouping of tasks or between parent and child tasks. These tasks should be shown grouped together. These tasks can be shown in a table or tree format and each task should have a link to click on to open the task directly from the form. This is an example of such a list and grouping.

Use Cases

The relationships between tasks may consist of simple parent/child relationships. The above table was used to implement a custom ACM UI where each of these tasks (children) are activities for a given case (parent). Here a work request (case) with several child tasks, or activities are listed along with the status, description due date, started date and assignee. Notice the links to open the task or reassign the task.

Another example is when a tasks is related to another other (like siblings) by customer or account ID. In all of these examples, the user wants a convenient way to jump directly to the related task, without closing the current task or form, going to the work space, finding and opening the task from the work space. Here are some example users stories this post can help you implement.

  1. As an agent, I want to open a task associated with a leg of a trip from the trip overview page, so I don’t have to search and find the task in the workspace, when I’m working on the trip.
  2. As a user, I want to be able to see all tasks associated with a work requests and be able to open a task to work on it without having to find the task in the workspace when I’m working on the work request.
  3. As a underwriter, I want to be able to see all related line items on a insurance policy and be able to jump to any of these line items from any other line item in the policy without need to find and open the line item from the workspace.
ADF URL Parameters

The URL pattern you need to construct is as follows:

http://hostname:port/faces/adf.task-flow?bpmWorklistTaskId=<TaskId>&adf….

The following parameters needs to be derived and appended to this URL using the amphersand "&" as a delimiter between parameters and an equal sign "=" between the parameter and value. The parameter value pair a listed in the following table. Read the complete article here.

Oracle API Management – An Overview of API Catalog and API Manager incl. a demo

Mobile applications increasingly use Application Programming interfaces (APIs) in addition to enterprise systems of record in their development. The importance of an API economy is growing by the day. As the number of APIs produced and consumed by enterprises increases, thanks to an exponential growth of mobiles, tablets, smart devices and computing platforms, the management and visibility of these APIs becomes increasingly important.

Oracle API Catalog (OAC) and the upcoming Oracle API Manager allow organizations to easily manage their APIs and build a catalog of their APIs, powered by the industry leading Oracle Service Bus backbone (in case of API Manager), thus providing visibility and control to the enterprise and a social catalog to API consumers for application development. Come and find out more on this session, incl. the exciting demo.
