Oracle BPEL Process Manager provides
out-of-box capabilities to process standard BPEL designs created with Oracle
BPEL Designer or other tools. After creating a BPEL process using Oracle BPEL
Designer the process can be deploy directly to Oracle BPEL Process Manager.
Oracle BPEL Process Manager provides a Web based administrative and BPEL Console
interface for deploying, testing, and monitoring the progress of a BPEL application.
Oracle BPEL Process Manager can run in an Oracle Container for J2EE (OC4J),
JBoss, or BEA WebLogic environment. This OBE lesson installs the OC4J version.
The Oracle BPEL Process Manager includes the JDeveloper BPEL
Designer, which extends the functionality of Oracle JDeveloper 10g to enable
you to model, edit, and design business processes using BPEL. JDeveloper BPEL
Designer provides a graphical and user-friendly way to build BPEL processes.
The processes built with JDeveloper BPEL Designer are 100% portable. The Oracle
BPEL Process Manager executes these processes.
