Oracle BPEL Process Manager: Services Orchestration
What you will learn:
In this course, the participants will learn the basic concepts of business process integration and human workflow management using the Oracle BPEL Process Manager (10.1.2 ) product. Participants will learn how to install, configure, and administer Oracle BPEL Process Manager (10.1.2). They will learn how to apply the Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) standard for assembling a set of discrete services into an end-to-end process flow. They will also learn how to translate and transform data using the Oracle BPEL Process Manager adapters.
After completing this course, students should be able to:
- Build a BPEL process and invoke synchronous and asynchronous business services and include parallel processing and conditional branching
- Install Oracle BPEL Process Manager and Oracle BPEL Process Designer
- Extend a BPEL Process with Human Workflow Management
- Administer BPEL processes using process monitoring and sensor technology
- Deploy and run a BPEL process in development and production environments
