Process Automation Overview

This topic provides an overview of how Oracle Permitting and Licensing uses OCI Process Automation and provides links to the OCI Process Automation documentation that is particularly useful for an Oracle Permitting and Licensing implementation.

Oracle Permitting and Licensing uses OCI Process Automation for designing and processing:

  • Workflow

  • Fee calculations

You use the Processes module to define:

  • Structured processes for Permits, Planing and Zoning, and Business Licenses workflow.

  • Dynamic process for Code Enforcement workflow.

  • Decision models to calculate fees for your transactions.

OCI Process Automation Documentation and Training

Before you begin implementing workflow and fees using OCI Process Automation, it is imperative that you become familiar with the OCI Process Automation features. The documentation in the Oracle Permitting and Licensing guides assume a general knowledge of OCI Process Automation and focus primarily on topics specific to the implementation and doesn't seek to duplicate information covered in OCI Process Automation documentation or training.

For more information on the OCI Process Automation, see Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Process Automation.

The link above provides access to valuable information such as:

  • Guides

  • Recipes (cookbook examples)

  • Training

While all of the information available for OCI Process Automation provide by the Oracle Cloud team is useful, in particular these topics are very valuable to help orient you as you being your implementation.

Topic

Description

Overview of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Process Automation

Provides introductory information about the workspace, runtime, and use cases.

Applications at a Glance

Describes how to use the interface for setting up process applications, decision models, and roles.

Design Structured Processes

Explains how to create and work with structured workflow processes, which are used by Permits, Planning and Zoning, and Business Licenses.

Design Dynamic Processes

Explains how to create and work with dynamic workflow processes, which are used by Code Enforcement.

Model Decisions

Explains how to create and work with decision models for fee calculations.

OCI Process Automation Transition

Beginning with Release 24B, new customers will begin using OCI Process Automation. Existing customers will continue to use OIC Generation 2 for workflow and fees. At a later date, existing customers will receive notification on when they will switch from OIC Generation 2 to OCI Process Automation. For documentation purposes, existing customers should refer to the Release 24A version of the documentation for any OIC Generation 2 information.

Because the transition from OIC to OCI Process Automation can generate questions, a My Oracle Support page has been created to provide new information as it arises.

You can find updated information regarding this transition on My Oracle Support Document ID: 3005969.1, Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) Generation 2 to Generation 3.
