BPM 11gR1 Patch Set 3 ( ) Enhancements
PS3 Highlights BI Views BAM Integration enhanced Template driven ADF generation Composer and Studio enhancements – swimlane colors, grids, etc. Simulation enhancements Simplified process spaces install Web Center Spaces significantly enhanced Slide 6
Slide 7 BPM Studio/Process Composer Enhancements Simulation Enhancements Support for simulation of interrupting and non- interrupting boundary events –Message, Error and Timer Boundary Event Support for BPMN Parallel Gateway Semantics - Parallel paths need not join using Parallel Gateway and can have their own end events. Simulation Report Export Simulation results as excel spreadsheet. Data Association Enhancements The element and it’s attributes can be mapped simultaneously. The mapping sequence starts with top level and then proceeds to do mapping of the attributes. The Simple Data Association mode now has a Functions List Picker similar to the XPATH Data Association Mode. XML Editor for editing XML Literal. It is easy to switch between Simple and XPATH inside the Expression Builder. You can have a mix of Simple and XPATH Expressions. Process Modeling & Implementation Custom icons for BPMN flow objects Call Activity support to create parent-child process hierarchies. Browse a WSDL in local file system and create a System Service in Business Catalog in Composer Type in text for the Name of Activities, Gateways, Connections and Pools Rewiring of connections in Composer
Slide 8 Human workflow & Workspace Enhancements Others : Deployment of tasks to specific partition in SOA-infra Linked dictionaries for Human workflow/Approval management extensions Process Monitoring & Dashboards Audit trail now displays complex approval hierarchies. Automatic generation of BAM Data Objects for Custom Business Indicators to produce BAM dashboards. Import of process content in various formats Generate BPMN 2.0 models from import of Visio XML, XPDL 2.0 and BPEL models.
