To make this easier, Oracle provides a Data Migrator ant script to promote Flex Field mappings and labels from one environment to another. This video is an excerpt from one of our Oracle BPM Training courses. It walks...

A simple drag and drop of an activity or a data association becomes a real pain and it seems as if JDeveloper is constantly working on the background. To improve this I have two suggestions.

These organizations are a conceptual grouping of your own choosing, which you can think of as tenants. By allowing one domain to support multiple tenants, WebLogic-MT improves density and achieves a more efficient use of resources. WebLogic-MT provides resource isolation within a domain partition, an administrative and runtime...

As a starting point, I will use the BPM application created here: Creating BPM Process with BPM Composer. I created three users: peter, bruce and clark. Clark is the manager of Bruce, and Bruce is the manager of peter. In the process, add a new swimlane and change the role to Process...

On my previous post, the first part of this series, I've shown to you how to quickly get started with WebLogic on Docker.

I recently came across a very interesting discussion on the Oracle BPM forum which stimulated my interest for investigation; how to suppress the human task custom outcomes from the action bar in the BPM Workspace application in 12c! When you deploy a BPM process or a BPEL service that includes a human task component, the BPM Workspace will automatically include in its action bar the custom outcomes that you have defined on your human task. In the image above it's assumed that...
