Oracle BPM 10g R3 Programming 1 Essentials

This course teaches developers the essential programming concepts they need to develop rich, interactive business processes using the Oracle Business Process Management (OBPM) suite of tools.

Developers work with the activities, gateways, and events that make up a business process, developing the code that implements business logic, integration with external systems, and the UI for end-user interactions. They explore the Process Business Language in depth (the language you use to code the functionality behind business process activities), covering its syntax and structures, its use of Business Process Management (BPM) objects (a fundamental mechanism for abstracting code), and exception handling. Finally, they learn about the development lifecycle - from business model development, to testing and deployment in a production environment.

Learn To:

• Develop code using the OBPM Process Business Language (PBL)
• Develop code for the various flow elements types
• Develop BPM objects
• Develop business process UI using screenflows and form based presentations
• Create dashboards to monitor performance trends in a process
• Create projects and processes using OBPM Studio
