Oracle BPM Suite 11g: Advanced BPMN Topics. This tutorial reaches the parts that standard manuals don’t, taking you deep into advanced BPMN Mikołów

Oracle BPM Suite is a popular and highly capable business process management system with extensive integration capabilities. BPMN, one of the most widely used process modeling notations, includes advanced capabilities for inter-process communication, working of arrays of data, and handling exceptions. However, these very same areas are often poorly understood. This book gives you the knowledge to create professional process models using these advanced features of BPMN."Oracle BPM Suite 11g: Advanced BPMN Topics" is the only book available that provides coverage of advanced BPMN topics for Oracle BPM Suite, helping to fill in the gaps left by the product documentation, and giving you the information that you need to know to use BPMN to its full potential.This book covers the important theory behind inter-process communication, working with arrays and handling exceptions in BPMN, along with detailed, step-by-step practical exercises that demonstrate and consolidate this theoretical knowledge.Throughout the book we'll cover topics including different types of sub-processes, initializing and manipulating arrays, using the multi-instance embedded sub-process, fault propagation and more.With "Oracle BPM Suite 11g: Advanced BPMN Topics" in hand, you'll gain detailed and practical experience in using the advanced features of BPMN to create professional BPMN processes with Oracle BPM.

Inter-process Communication Conversations The default conversation Correlation Correlation sets Correlation when there are multiple calls Throw and catch events Send and receive tasks When to use throw/catch events and send/receive tasks Messages, signals, and errors Messages Signals Errors Invoking sub-processes Embedded sub-processes Multi-instance embedded sub-processes Reusable sub-processes Recommended sub-process style to use Summary 2. Inter-process Communication in Practice Communicating between processes using messages and correlation Communication between processes inside a loop Communicating between processes using signals Using reusable sub-processes Summary 3. Working with Arrays Data Associations Creating an empty array Creating an array with some empty elements Creating an initialized array Getting elements from arrays Setting elements in arrays Appending elements to arrays Joining two arrays Removing elements from arrays Iterating over arrays with a multi-instance embedded sub-process Cardinality or collection Sequential or parallel Using a completion condition Scope Practice: Iterating over an array using an embedded sub-process Summary 4. Handling Exceptions Mechanisms for catching exceptions in BPMN Boundary events Event sub-processes Exception propagation with sub-processes and peer processes Exception propagation with embedded sub-processes Exception propagation with sub-processes invoked with a call activity Exception propagation with peer processes invoked with a throw event Exception propagation with peer processes invoked with a send task How BPM exceptions affect the SCA composite Summary 5. Handling Exceptions in Practice Using boundary events to implement timeouts Using boundary events to implement the cancel message use case Using event sub-processes Propagating exceptions using peer processes Summary Index
