Summary

In this chapter, we have become familiar with Oracle BPM Suite 11g. We have described the Oracle BPM Suite architecture and features. We have discussed the importance of being able to directly implement and deploy BPMN processes, without the need to transform them to BPEL.

We have shown how to use Oracle BPM Studio, how to create a new BPM project, and how to model and implement business processes using BPMN 2.0. We have also demonstrated how a BPMN process and BPEL process service components can be used inside a single SOA composite application.

We have also shown how to deploy a BPM project and how to debug a process instance by opening the instance audit trail and the visual flow. Finally we have become familiar with the Oracle BPM Workspace application.
