Configuring Oracle BPM 11g to Work with P6

Contents

The Oracle Business Process Management (BPM) Suite provides an integrated environment for developing, administering, and using business applications centered around business processes. BPM supports BPM and Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) standards from modeling and implementation to run-time and monitoring.

P6 integrates with BPM 11g allowing you to initiate and manage workflows. You can use a sample project initiation workflow for P6 sample database that is available on OTN for 11g.

Looking toward the future, you can expand your investment in BPM to include workflows representing more stages of your application, program, project, or product development life cycle from design-time and implementation to run-time and application management.

The Oracle BPM Suite enables you to:

• Create and customize business processes, models, and standards using pre-defined components for web-based applications.
• Collaborate between process developers and process analysts.
• Expand business process management to include flexible, unstructured processes.
• Integrate your applications with Web Services.
• Add dynamic tasks and support approval routing using declarative patterns and rules-driven flow determination.
• Unify different stages of your development life cycle by addressing end-to-end requirements for developing process-based applications. Oracle BPM 11g unifies the design, implementation, run time, and monitoring stages based on a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) infrastructure. This allows different personas to participate through all stages of the workflow life-cycle.

  Note: BPM 10g and 11g have their own guides. Make sure you are using the correct guide for your version of BPM.
