Oracle BPM 10g R3 Programming 2 Integration

This course builds on the Oracle BPM 10g R3 Programming 1 Essentials course, giving developers the core technical programming knowledge and skills needed to develop mission critical business processes using Oracle BPM. This course goes into more depth than the Essentials course on selected topics and covers details on how to integrate business processes with enterprise systems, Web Services, and other components such as JEE applications, databases, file systems, and COM and .NET components.

Developers learn more details about sending messages between processes using the Send-Message/Message-Wait events and also through the use of coded external messaging. They also learn how to expose a process as a web service so that external applications can interact with it. Finally, students learn recommended exception handling techniques to use when integrating external components.

Learn To:

• Develop process models and write code to integrate them with external systems and technologies
• Implement and code complex messaging models to communicate between different processes
• Expose a process as a Web Service
• Use Business Process Objects in integration code
• Use appropriate exception handling techniques
• Develop process models and write code to integrate them with external systems and technologies
