Fri, 02/26/2010 - 5:50pm — Dan Atwood

Oracle BPM 10g FDI (Fuego Directory Interface) Hybrid configuration enables authentication and authorization to be delegated to Microsoft Active Directory while the rest of the metadata needed by Oracle BPM resides in the FDI database managed by Oracle BPM.  Discussed here are recommendations on how and where the directory information should be created, maintained and synchronized to ensure participants have their correct permissions.

Oracle BPM and Oracle Service Bus Integration

Wed, 02/24/2010 - 6:13pm — Adam Desjardin

Over the past few years we have seen many of our customers use a combination of Oracle BPM/Aqualogic BPM and Oracle Service Bus/Aqualogic Service Bus.  These two products are very complimentary within a company's SOA environment.  OSB can provide the service aggregation, transformation, and security while OBPM can provide the orchestration of the services that OSB exposes.  This blog post will describe the different use cases for integrating OBPM and OSB and in follow up posts each integration will be covered in more detail.

How Success Can Lead to Failure

Since most of the people at Avio seem to have some sort of flu or cold virus right now, it made sense to me to talk about how successful BPM engagements tend to lead to the viral adoption of BPM with an organization.  Most organizations tend to start with small, tactical implementations in order to get their feet wet and see how BPM fits within their IT and LOB functions.  If done properly, initial deployments tend to happen quickly and drive significant results.  As a result, the rest of the organization tends to take notice and the collective light bulb goes turn on.

Customizing the email Oracle BPM Sends to End Users

Fri, 02/12/2010 - 4:58pm — Dan Atwood

If you have an end user who has turned on the option in the Workspace to receive emails, then the downside is that they will automatically receive an email for the work item instances that reach their Oracle BPM WorkSpace inbox.  This is not a good option for someone who receives many instances every day.
