Oracle BPM 12c for Beginners (step-by-step)

Learn to download and set up Oracle BPM 12c development environment by obtaining JDeveloper with BPM libraries from Oracle delivery, installing Java 8, and preparing the developer setup.

Create your first BPM application by defining asynchronous, synchronous, and manual processes, then learn how reusable processes are called and initiated by manual actions, user tasks, or messages.

Explore essential BPM notations for building processes in Oracle BPM 12c, including surface activity, send/receive, subprocess calls, human tasks, voting, and gateway types such as exclusive, parallel and complex.

Design a simple bpm process for registering a new employee using bpm notations, including a salary-based gateway with manager approval and a web service to insert data.

Create a business object and its data object as the process payload, then define a process data object and an approval outcome to drive the implementation.

Define data objects and implement a human task workflow in Oracle BPM 12c for beginners. Create screens, payload mappings, and approval outcomes to drive salary approval decisions.

Create a SOAP web service and call it from a BPM process to insert data into a database. Map input parameters via a subsurface in the composite editor and test.

Create an ADF project for a human task UI by configuring data, assignment rules, and notifications, then generate dedicated projects for each task and generate the corresponding task pages.

Update data control after changes to a human task by refreshing and synchronizing the data model, adding new task parameters, and regenerating the task and notification pages.

Define users and assign them to BPM roles before deploying the BPM application, configure security in WebLogic, and deploy the process to the embedded WebLogic server.

Learn to deploy a BPM 12c process, manage workspaces, assign users to rules, initialize tasks, route approvals, and trace process history with graphical views.

Finish the first BPM application and preview the second, detailing deployment, tracing, manual initiation, human tasks, surface notation, and exception handling to extend BPM concepts.

Develop a second bpm application for supply chain requisitions triggered by a web service call, including stock checks, supplier routing, and error-handling reusable processes.

Create a second bpm application with a synchronous web service flow that checks stock, performs requisition approval via human tasks, updates stock on receipt, and sends notifications.

Finalize the BPM design by wiring exception handling from surface calls to an error process, route failures via default sequences, and implement a rejection path that updates stock after approval.

Create a customer order business object and a process data object in Oracle BPM 12c, then expose a start web service interface that accepts a customer order data object.

Implement a BPM human task for requisition approval with approve/reject outcomes, and use script notation to initialize and update a parameter, preparing data for the supplier.

Create a stock database table with item code and quantity; implement web services to check item availability and update stock, then expose as BPM web service in Oracle BPM 12c.

Configure service notation by designing two surfaces: stock and stock update, processing item quantities, checking stock levels, updating inventory, and routing to supplier when stock is low.

Create a reusable process and call it from the main process, map customer order and error information via input arguments, enabling error handling with a boundary event and human task.

Create ADF projects for the second BPM application by generating human task forms, auto-generating tasks, and removing security, then prepare to assign users and rules for each task.

Create and assign three users (approval, supplier, admin) to BPM rules, deploy the second BPM application, and test stock availability and supplier routes while configuring email notifications.

Configure the email server in WebLogic to enable task notifications, set up outgoing and incoming mail, define from addresses, and test email delivery to users.

Test the second BPM application by invoking a web service, tracking process instances in enterprise manager, and validating requisition approval, stock updates, and email notifications.

Learn to redeploy BPM processes after changes without full deployment, by creating a new composite version as default and adjusting a 20-second timer for end-to-end testing.

Explore test scenarios for catching web service exceptions and managing errors in Oracle BPM 12c, including looping, stock updates, approvals, and task-based error handling.

Explore human task actions in Oracle BPM 12c, including actionable email, incoming and outgoing mail, and actions like claim, request information, reassign, and withdraw.

Explore workspace features, customize this port, and create shared views to manage tasks, trace process history, and approve requisitions in a supply chain workflow.

Download and install the Oracle BPM 12c development tools, build human task, asynchronous, and reusable processes, and configure email notifications and basic workspace rules.
