Oracle BPM 10g R3 Administration

In this course, Administrators learn how to install, configure, administer, monitor, and troubleshoot Oracle BPM (OBPM) Enterprise. After installing and configuring OBPM Enterprise Standalone or Enterprise for WebLogic, administrators create and assign roles to participants, publish and deploy projects, integrate external resources, configure processing monitoring, and configure archiving. They learn how to configure engine failover, use Apache Ant tasks to automate deployment and management, tune a Process Execution Engine to improve performance, and troubleshoot OBPM problems. By the end of the course, students have a solid foundation for implementing and maintaining OBPM Enterprise. Students can perform the practices using the windows version of either OBPM Enterprise Standalone or OBPM Enterprise for WebLogic. Learn To:

• Describe the architecture of Oracle BPM Enterprise
• Install and configure Oracle BPM Enterprise
