BPM Suite 12c Deep-Dive
BPM 12c Themes
BPM 12.1.3 Developer Features
• Quick Start• Process Instance Expiration• Business Parameters• Skip and Back Error Handling• Suspend and Resume Process Flow Object• Business Catalog Enhancements • Scripting• Debugging• Visual Diff/Merge – for process imported into JDeveloper (BPM Studio)
from Process Composer• Migration Tools• Process Asset Manager (MDS Based) for collaboration between BPM
Studio and BPM Process Composer• Benefits from JDeveloper and SOA Suite enhancements
– BPM application == SOA [SCA] Composite
BPM Quick Start Install
• Integrated JDeveloper– Installs both design-time
& run-time
• Eliminates Complexity– One screen Install– 30 minutes to install
and run BPM Samples
• Reduced Memory footprint
Force Commit on Activity Completion
• Commits state of BPM instance– Can be used to avoid re-invoke of activity in case of rollback
Process Instance Expiration
• Process Instance Expiration
– Pre-defined variable
– Get/Set supported– BPM run-time
throws timeout event– Timeout can be caught
and handled using Event Subprocess
Business Parameters
• Used for setting business specific constants and can be overridden for an Organization Unit
• If there is no override value for Org Unit, the returned value will be the default value
Default value for Business Parameter
Business Parameter overridden for Organization Unit
Catch Exception Based on Business Object
• New Options for Business Exception Handling– Business Exception
“errorInfo” attribute can be set to Business Object
– Boundary Events can catch Business Exception based on Business Object
Suspend and Resume Process instance
• You can suspend a running flow object, a process or a subprocess– By a Boundary Event (can be a message event, a timer event or a signal
event)– By an Event SubProcess
• When process instance reaches the flow object with the boundary event, the main process flow is suspended and the BPM runtime runs the event handler sequence flow: the alternative sequence flow
• Then optionally the process instance can be returned to main flow– Set action to resume to resume the suspended flow object | process | subprocess– Set action to send to move the process instance to the next flow object | .. | ..
Skip and Back Error Handling
• Upon exception in process flow, we can try to re-run the failed flow object, move to the next flow object or continue with exception handling
• Set action variable to– OK– SKIP– BACK

Business Catalog Enhancements and Groovy Script …
Business Objects …•Inheritance•Enumerations•Methods implemented in Groovy Script
Groovy Script Can Be Used In Script Activity
• Can perform operations that would otherwise be done with XSLT
Debugger
• Scope
– Process– Subprocess– Event
Subprocess– Child process
• Debug actions
– Step-into– Step-over– Step-out– Resume
Debugger
• Inspect and modify data
– Data Objects (both Simple and Complex)
– Instance Attributes (Process and Activity)
– Conversation and Correlation properties
– Create “Watches”
Migration Tool
Applicable to 10gR3 BPM customers Easy-to-run Ant based tool
Output : 12c exp file and a Migration Report Constructs Migrated
With Equivalent : 100% migrated (Ex: Interactive task) Comparable : migrated on best-effort basis No direct equivalent : functional equivalent in stack
