Oracle SOA BPM With Standard Dashboard & Activity Guide

Hello Every One,

Every one knows with the Oracle BPM we can create business processes over which user can take action, review requested data and can track request status using activity guide and so on.

Before we start with real time implementation, let review about BPM standard dashboards & Activity Guide.

Using Dashboards in Process Workspace

Standard dashboards are the graphs and drill-downs based on data previously computed in a process cube schema. They reflect the standard metrics gathered during the execution of a process.

In each of the standard dashboards, clicking a bar graph in the left pane causes data to be displayed graphically in the right pane. Clicking an item in the right pane displays certain data in the Work Items panel in the lower pane. This section explains how each type of dashboard operates.

1. Participant Dashboards:Two types of standard participant dashboards enable you to analyze:

• The workload of participants
• The performance of participants

2.Process Dashboards:Two types of standard process dashboards enable you to analyze:

• The number of process instances waiting for completion
• The average time taken per process

On the same layer we can create custom dashboards.

Using Activity Guides in Process Workspace

Activity guides organize your tasks into milestones. Each milestone is a specific set of tasks for you to complete, either on your own or in collaboration with others. For each milestone, the activity guide tells you which tasks to complete and in which order. You complete a milestone by completing all the tasks it contains for you. Depending on the nature of the task, you can save an unfinished task and resume it later.

Why Use Activity Guides

An activity guide can help organize the tasks involved in an onboarding process. The activity guide moves the user through the correct sequence of steps in the process. In this example, one milestone is Personal Info, which includes the task Validate personal info.

In an activity guide, users can act on only those tasks presently needing their attention in the current milestone. Once they have completed all their tasks for that milestone, they can act on the tasks for the next milestone. They cannot act on tasks in future milestones or on those assigned to other users.

Now we will see all steps for creating a BPM project:

Req:

1. 2 level of user request review & updation.
2. Standard dashboard.
3. Process monitoring use.
4. ADF application for user request review.
5. SOAP service exposed from BPM layer for testing.
6. File adapter to generate CSV file, We are not going indepth for file generation.
7. Create A BPM Project with Async Process with it's defined type of input & Output.

BPM Project will be look like it.

Go to main BPM process.

You will see there are two human interaction, On each human interaction an ADF application called which help user to take action over requested data. After human interaction there is execlusive gateway, which check whether reviewer ACCEPTED user request or not, In case of rejection process will terminate at same point.

Go to CSV File generation process.

As you see, There is only one service Task which is just invoking file adapter to generate CSV file.

Steps required to enabled standard dashboard analytic for this BPM process:

Steps required to enabled Activity Guide for this BPM process:

Create new activity guide.

Click on add to milestone.

Do same for second human task.
@Note: In case of Last mile stone, Select "Last task in milestone"

Once done, Go to activity guide.

Now you just need to deploy your process, You will see result...

Test It and face any issue, Report me!!!
