BPM Signal Events and Oracle EDN

Simple scenario –

A new order arrives via file and kicks off the BPM Order process.
This can be easily modelled in Oracle SOA Suite 11g.
Our order has the following xsd –



Steps

Create a couple of directories on the file system




Create a BPM Application in JDeveloper



Go to the Composite view



Create a file adapter – (Read) based on the XSD – pointing to /in directory
Create a file adapter – (Write) based on the XSD – pointing to /out directory



Add a Mediator to pick up the read order



Add a routing rule to publish an event



Create the event definition





Switch to the BPM Project view

The event has been automatically added to the Business catalogue.



Right-mouse click on the Start icon and change the type to Signal






No we have EDN kicking off the BPM process via a Signal event.
I'll flesh this process out in the next post!
