6 Integration With BPM Service Components in the Oracle SOA Suite
OracleAS Adapter for Siebel integrates seamlessly with Oracle Business Process Management (BPM) to facilitate Web service integration. Oracle BPM is based on the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). It consumes adapter services exposed as Web Service Definition Language (WSDL) documents.
This chapter contains the following topics:
-
Designing an Outbound BPM Process Using Transformations for Service Integration
-
Designing an Inbound BPM Process Using Transformations for Event Integration
Overview
To integrate with Oracle BPM, OracleAS Adapter for Siebel must be deployed in the same WLS container as Oracle BPM. The underlying adapter services must be exposed as WSDL files, which are generated during design time in Oracle Adapter Application Explorer (Application Explorer) for both request-response (outbound) and event notification (inbound) services of the adapter. For more information, see "Generating WSDL (J2CA Configurations Only)".
The generated WSDL files are used to design the appropriate BPM processes for inbound or outbound adapter services. A completed BPM process must be successfully compiled in JDeveloper and deployed to a BPM server. Upon deployment to the BPM server, every newly built process is automatically deployed to the Oracle Enterprise Manager console, where you run, monitor, and administer BPM processes, and listen to adapter events.
Deployment of Adapter
During installation, OracleAS Adapter for Siebel is deployed as a J2CA 1.0 resource adapter within the WLS container. The adapter must be deployed in the same WLS container as Oracle BPM.
Configuring a New Application Server Connection
For more information on how to configure a new Application Server connection in Oracle JDeveloper, see Configuring a New Application Server Connection.
Designing an Outbound BPM Process Using Transformations for Service Integration
The following tools are required to complete your outbound design-time configuration:
-
Oracle Adapter Application Explorer (Application Explorer)
-
Oracle JDeveloper BPM Designer (JDeveloper) or Eclipse
Note:
The examples in this chapter demonstrate the use of JDeveloper.Samples have been provided for this usecase scenario in the etc/sample folder of the Application Adapter installation.
Before you design a BPM process, you must generate the respective WSDL file using Application Explorer. For more information, see "Generating WSDL for Request/Response Service".
