Time for action – testing the human task
To test our BPEL process with the human task, we will first need to start the BPEL process. We do this the same way as we did in the previous chapters. If we look at the trace of the instance, we can see that the instance is still running and is waiting for the BookstoreApproval human task to complete.
Worklist application
To complete the human task, we have to log in to the Oracle BPM Worklist application using the URL http://host_name:port/integration/worklistapp/, where host_name is the name of the host on which the worklist application is installed and port is the port number of the SOA managed server (default is 8001). Oracle BPM Worklist is a very powerful application, not only allowing users to act on tasks, but also providing the following features:
- Customizing the visual appearance and behavior
- Reassigning tasks to other users
- Escalating, renewing, withdrawing, and suspending tasks
- Setting the vacation period to automatically reassign tasks...
