BPM 11gR1 architecture

Feature BPM Studio Web apps BPM 11g implementation Comments
BPM Studio ported to JDeveloper. Integrated with SOA editors SCA composite, Task and rules editor All web UIs are ADF based. All the components of the BPM workspace created as re-usable ADF regions. Process portal uses group space templates in web center. BPM workspace regions registered in Web center resource catalog Process Composer uses ADF in conjunction with Flash for rendering BPMN Service engine reuses a large portion of the BPEL process core. Implemented new activities based on BPMN 2.0 standard. Common persistence, binding framework, cube engine, policy management All SOA adapters work with both BPEL and BPMN Process cube schema can collect metrics for BPMN and BPEL in star schema All BPMN mgmt screens are part of Fusion Middleware control End to end monitoring via composite flow trace. Same deployment model as SOA. ODL loggers and DMS instrumentation All metadata is stored in MDS both for design time and runtime. Process lifecycle and sharing of drafts/templates between studio/composer done via MDS OPSS for user/role and policy lookup. Process specific roles auto provisioned as application roles during deployment SSO integration (WLS, OAM, WNA etc)

10g Usage Guidelines MODELING Process Creation and Termination Wait

used for asynchronous inter-process communication

Set transactional boundary and compensation for Groups Grab and Decision activities Separated Instance Variables
Instead use external storage to persist such variables

10g Usage Guidelines

Not all Predefined Variables, e.g. action will be migrated Automatic activity with implementation type Method
Minimize scripting. Wrap the logic in re-usable components

Interactive activities implemented as screenflows will be migrated. Method, Input, Display and Decision may not be supported as-is

10g Usage Guidelines UI ScreenFlow replaced by ADF TaskFlow

Migrated to 11g as deprecated Manually link to human task activities

Presentation Forms replaced by ADF

Migrated to 11g as deprecated

ORGANIZATION Deploying process only to specific OU not supported in 11g Re-map logical roles (OBPM) to physical roles (LDAP)

10g Usage Guidelines BUSINESS RULES Process Business Rules migrated as scripts
in-flight modification not supported Use Oracle BR with 10g

BPM OBJECTS Do not write complex logic in methods

Externalize in Java / WS

INTEGRATION Use JCA Adapter

10g Usage Guidelines BAM Dashboards migrated if generated BPM Object is not modified TESTING PUnit and CUnit test cases not migrated SCRIPTING PBL migrated in deprecated mode - Instead use Java / WS API PAPI / PAPI-WS will be replaced - similar functionality, different syntax

10g Usage Guidelines WORKSPACE CUSTOMIZATION not migrated

ADMINISTRATION ANT tasks replaced with new ANT tasks

IN-FLIGHT PROCESS INSTANCES not migrated run 10g and 11g side by side and see all process instances in 11g
