Overview of Integrating OracleAS Adapters for IMS/TM with Oracle BPEL
Process Manager
Oracle BPEL Process Manager provides a comprehensive solution for creating,
deploying, and managing BPEL business processes. Oracle BPEL Process Manager is
based on the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) to provide enterprises with
flexibility, interoperability, reusability, extensibility, and rapid implementation of Web
services and business processes. It reduces the overall costs of management,
modification, extension, and redeployment of existing business processes. Each
business activity is a self-contained, self-describing, and modular application whose
interface is defined by the WSDL, and the business process is modeled as a Web
Service.
A Web Service is first published and then composed or orchestrated into business
flows. Publishing a service is implemented by taking a function within an existing
application or system and making it available in a standard way, while orchestration is
implemented by composing multiple services into an end-to-end business process. The
interactions that are defined as part of the configuration of the OracleAS Adapter for
IMS/TM are integrated into the orchestration as PartnerLinks. Every PartnerLink is
linked to a WSDL that describes the Web service.
To integrating the OracleAS Adapter for IMS/TM with Oracle BPEL Process Manager,
you must perform the following tasks in the specified order:
1. Installing and Configuring OracleAS Adapter for IMS/TM
2. Integrating OracleAS Adapter for IMS/TM with OC4J
3. Configuring Oracle BPEL Process Manager to interact with the OracleAS Adapter
for IMS/TM
