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

There is a continuous need for enterprises to tie disparate applications and services into end-to-end process flows.

KEY FEATURES

Workflow Services

BPEL

BPEL can interleave human interactions and connectivity to systems/services into a single end to end process flow

System Human

Workflow Requirements

Task assignment to Users, roles, groups

Task routing –various flow patterns and dispatching rules

Notification to users/groups -Email, Voice, Pager, SMS …

Escalation and Delegation rules

Task History and Audit,Productivity Reports

Customizable Worklist, Task forms, attachments

Workflow Services – Exchange Patterns

“Worklist (tasks, forms, attachments, reports)”

“List work items”

“Complete task”

“Get weekly productivity report”

“Assign Task”

“Task Complete”

“Assign tasks to role or group (from directory)”

BPEL Process

“Flow patterns”, “Routing rules”

“Get Approvals”

“All Approvals Complete”

“Change routing”

BPEL Process

“Escalation and Delegation rules”

“Escalate Task”

“Task Resolved”

“Notify manager”

BPEL Process

• 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 (email, voice, pager..) • Form generation - JSP, XSL

• Comprehensive Worklist• Cross platform support – workflow services run on

multiple application servers (Oracle, JBoss, BEA)

Workflow Services with BPEL Process Manager

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.

Workflow PatternsWhat is a pattern …

Workflow as a Service

Worklist

Assign Task

TaskComplete

Workflow Service

(1) assign tasks to a user/role

(2) wait for task completion as part of an end to end process flow

Workflow Services

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

Completely parameterized • Can mix-and-match above patterns to create chained

workflows• Wizards to model these flows• Implemented using BPEL activities

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
