Oracle BPM 10g R3 Modeling

This class teaches students how to use Oracle BPM (OBPM) to model business processes. Students learn techniques for interviewing experts in their business and how to capture that information in a process model created with OBPM. They use OBPM to create robust process models, which include activities, transitions, roles, business rules, business data and data entry screens. Students also learn how to recognize and model business exceptions. Finally, they learn how to use simulation to analyze business scenarios in their model. Throughout the course, students are exposed to modeling best practices that will make their models most effective for the development teams that complete them.

The course is task-based and uses a case-study example for modeling. Functionality of OBPM is taught through hands-on exercises that use the main case study as a real-life business scenario.

A Live Virtual Class (LVC) is exclusively for registered students; unregistered individuals may not view an LVC at any time. Registered students must view the class from the country listed in the registration form. Unauthorized recording, copying, or transmission of LVC content may not be made.
