Using BPEL process parallelization
By having your BPEL process execute steps in parallel when there are no dependencies, you can increase the performance by spending less time waiting for external systems to complete.
Getting ready
You will need JDeveloper installed, and have an open BPEL project.
How to do it...
Follow these steps to use BPEL process parallelization:
Expand the BPEL Constructs section in the component palette.
Drag Flow from the palette onto the process.
Click on the + icon next to the flow to expand it.
Populate the flow with the process steps.
How it works...
If you have a number of tasks that do not have dependencies on each other, you can improve performance by executing the preceding tasks in parallel. This is most effective with partner links, where you know you are waiting on an external system to produce a response. The default behaviors of these flows is still to use a single thread to execute the branches if external systems are invoked. See the Using non-blocking service...
