Key Concepts and Patterns of IBM BPM/BAW

Learn how IBM BPM/BAW uses static and dynamic teams, via team retrieval and team filter services, to assign tasks and manage inputs, outputs, and managers.

Compare EPB and environment variables in IBM BPM/BAW, detailing runtime updates, typecasting needs, and access controls for EPB, versus key-value environment variables injected into processes.

Explore UI validations in IBM BPM/BAW, including on-change, on-submit, and data-change validations with required fields and dynamic feedback.

Explore linked processes, nested and dynamic subprocesses in IBM BPM/BAW, focusing on data mapping, variable access, and event-driven execution with start events like message, service, and timer.

Explore prevalent naming conventions in IBM BPM/BAW, including verb-plus-noun task naming, primary process identifiers, service naming history, and camelCase variable naming.

Explore exception handling in IBM BPM/BAW, distinguishing human task and system task handlers, catch-all top-layer and event subprocess strategies, and automated retry with external integrations.

Explore six methods to start a BPD or process in IBM BPM/BAW, including message-event starts, service-based starts with data mappings, and REST, jamas client, or Web API options.

Explore multi-instance loop concepts in IBM BPM/BAW, contrasting simple loops with multi-instance patterns, parallel versus sequential execution, and canceling remaining tasks after any approval.

Compare how online and offline process servers connect to a process center, deploy snapshots and deployment packages, and use admin consoles or command line for migration and activation.

Explore the four IBM bpm/baw gateways—exclusive, inclusive, parallel, and event gateways—showing how decisions flow, tokens split and merge, and timer or message triggers govern execution.

Explore how an intermediate event listener processes messages with durable subscription and consumer messages. See how correlation IDs determine delivery and token progression in repeated listener scenarios.

Explore the four service exposure types—task, start, dashboard, and external launch—within IBM bpm/baw. See how they expose and launch processes from the process portal or external applications.

Explore the coach view life-cycle in IBM BPM/BAW by examining a reusable user interface component and its six event handlers—before load, load, render, change, validate, and unload.

Learn two methods to start a process in one app from another: a shared toolkit message start approach and a script-based method that uses snapshots and passes input variables.

Develop a custom REST API client in plain JavaScript that uses auto generated IBM BPM/BAW objects from service discovery, handles authentication, and calls get process by id via REST endpoints.

Explore how to build a simple case solution in IBM BPM/BAW by defining a case type, properties, views, roles, and activities, then launch a process application from the case.

Review the prototype level coach view controls through a spark line custom control built with the enterprise toolkit, wired via Xposed event handlers and a JavaScript library.

Customize IBM BPM/BAW themes globally using the BBM UI toolkit and BBM theme, with less-based styles and bootstrap-inspired colors. Apply a global stylesheet to align labels and inputs.

Discover how to handle orphan tokens and migrate process instances using a policy file, including creating snapshots, deploying updates, and validating migration on the process server.

Customize the IBM bpm/baw process portal’s responsive interface by changing color schemes and adding custom code. Create card tiles and data displays, and apply changes using deployment environment admin credentials.
