2 Introduction to new features in BPEL Process Manager Agenda Introduction to BPEL PM Integration services Workflow Services Demo!

3 Integration requirements There is a continuous need for enterprises to tie disparate applications and services into end-to-end process flows. Portal Customer Web Management Console Reporting Exception Mgt.NET Mainframe Schedule Delivery of Modem SAP Switches Payment Processing Inventory Mgt Manual IT Setup Goals Compress the total processing time (Real Time) Connectivity to systems, services and people Better visibility (Auditing, Reporting) Ability to easily change the process Incremental roll out Challenges Multiple Heterogeneous Systems Sophisticated flow logic Avoid hardwired point-point integration Exceptions are hard to manage

4 Oracle BPEL Process Manager Enterprise-strength infrastructure for designing, deploying and managing BPEL business processes. JDeveloper, Eclipse BPEL Designer Comprehensive and native BPEL implementation BPEL Easy-to-use modeling tool BPEL Process Manager WSDL Binding Built-in Integration Services DEHYDRATE Scalable and reliable engine Flexible binding framework Web Service JMS, AQ XQuery XSLT User Tasks Sensors Oracle Oracle Database DB Rich management and monitoring JCA , File/FTP Core BPEL Engine BPEL Console Supports Oracle AS, JBoss, WebLogic and WebSphere J2EE Application Server (WebLogic, Oracle AS, JBoss, WebSphere) MANAGE Get up and running in less than 15 minutes!

5 The Oracle BPEL Process Manager Comprehensive integration platform for connecting systems, services, people and partners Eclipse, JDeveloper BPEL Designer B2B Adapter RosettaNet, UCCNet EDI, AS2 Partners XML Web Services (Sync. and Async.) Portal Services Java Services (EJB..) Data Transformation (XSLT, XQuery) Application Server Rules and Decision Services Systems Technology Adapters (JMS, AQ, File, FTP ) ADF BPEL PM Enterprise Application Adapters (Oracle, PSFT, SAP..) Integration Dashboard People Legacy System Adapters (CICS, IMS..) Enterprise Data Hub Data Virtualization, Data Synchronization User Workflow Notification Services (Mail, Wireless) Identity Services (OID, LDAP, JAZN)

13 Workflow Services System Human BPEL BPEL can interleave human interactions and connectivity to systems/services into a single end to end process flow

14 Workflow Requirements Task assignment to Users, roles, groups Task routing various flow patterns and dispatching rules Escalation and Delegation rules Notification to users/groups - , Voice, Pager, SMS Customizable Worklist, Task forms, attachments Task History and Audit, Productivity Reports

15 Workflow Services Exchange Patterns Assign Task Get Approvals Change routing BPEL Process Task Complete BPEL Process All Approvals Complete Assign tasks to role or group (from directory) Flow patterns, Routing rules Escalate Task List work items Notify manager Complete task BPEL Process Task Resolved Get weekly productivity report Escalation and Delegation rules Worklist (tasks, forms, attachments, reports)

16 Workflow Services with BPEL Process Manager Introduced Workflow Patterns Various task flows implemented using BPEL activities Workflow services for Task assignment, routing, escalation etc. Identity Management OID, LDAP etc. Notification via various channels ( , voice, pager..) Form generation - JSP, XSL Comprehensive Worklist Cross platform support workflow services run on multiple application servers (Oracle, JBoss, BEA)

17 Workflow Patterns What is a pattern 1. Task Flow Simple approval, sequential, parallel flow, ad-hoc workflow, FYI task etc. 2. Task Details Task title, payload, outcomes, form, priority, expiration etc. 3. Assignment policy Assign task to User/Group/Role Static or dynamic assignment 4. Notification preferences Notify assignee, creator, all participants etc of task status changes (by various channels) 5. Task routing policy Routing rules Rules based on task outcome or payload content Management hierarchy or Title Escalation, delegation, expiration rules Conditions under which task is escalated, released etc.

18 Workflow as a Service WSDL Contract Workflow Service Assign Task BPEL Process Task Complete Worklist Update Task (1) assign tasks to a user/role (2) wait for task completion as part of an end to end process flow

19 BPEL PM - Workflow Services Workflow Services Task Management Service Identity Service (Users, Roles) Portal BPEL Process Task Routing Task Assignment Service History/Audit Worklist Service Worklist Task Action Service Notification Service client Identity Management Notification Channels OID, LDAP, JAZN Oracle DB AS Wireless (Voice, SMS, Pager)

20 Workflow Services Task Flow 9 patterns out-of-the-box Simple Task Assignment Sequential workflow Parallel workflow (review/voting) Adhoc workflow FYI task Many variations - automatic escalation, renewal etc. Tasks may be on renewed or escalated on expiration Reminders may be sent when tasks are about to expire Task Routing Service Completely parameterized Can mix-and-match above patterns to create chained workflows Wizards to model these flows Implemented using BPEL activities

21 BPEL Sensor Framework Sensors used to identify key milestones in the process for reporting purposes Types of sensors: Activity sensors scope or simple activity used to capture start/end of activity along with associated variables Variable - used to capture changes to variables in process Fault sensors used to capture exceptions Sensor Actions associated with the sensors can publish captured data to Database (BPEL reports) JMS queue or topic BAM Custom Callback
