When analyzing a (performance) issue in Fusion Middleware components, Dynamic Monitoring Service (DMS) Metrics can support you with the necessary information to support resolving the issue. DMS Metrics can be accessed using a variety of tools like JConsole, Oracle EM, WLDF, WLST and the DMS Spy servlet.

Introduction The Java Mission Control and Java Flight Recorder are relatively new tools that have extended greatly the diagnostics capabilities of the Java platform. They allow collecting an impressive amount of detailed runtime information about the JVM, with minimum performance impact, in a way that would have been hard to imagine a few years ago. Java Mission Control is basically a set of tools that enables efficient and detailed analysis of the extensive data provided...

My last article on gateways is on the event-based gateway, another type of gateway supported by Oracle BPM 12c to provide divergence in processes.The event-based gateway is very similar, conceptual wise, to the exclusive gateway in the sense that we can have various outgoing sequence flows but only one branch is followed. The operational difference though is that, as its name suggests, the event-based gateway uses events for defining the branching conditions and decisions...

Separating Oracle BPM business processes from their underlying data is a topic that comes up regularly with customers.  When first starting out, most customers create a large set of process data objects that carry the payload of each work item instance throughout the life of a process and its subprocesses.  While it is tempting to begin this way, the work item instance process data should be kept light by storing an ID field that can be used to look up information from a...

Ah… The holiday season! Time to be with your family, eat like an elephant, getting stuck in endless traffic jams and moving in overcrowded shopping malls. No better time to write BPM articles, right? Actually, wrong! Curiously, a peak in activity actually absorbed me completely and we couldn’t do all the stuff that we wanted to. Anyway, we’re back. Last time, we defined and modeled our first business process in BPMN. It modeled the “Request a parking space” process, with...
