Message Events
Message Start
Used to trigger a process or event
Sub Process.
Message End
Sends a message upon completion

When triggering a process, creates

a new process instance.
Message Send
Used in a process to send
asynchronously a message
Corresponds to matching and
correlated Message Receive event
10
Message Receive
Used in a process to wait for a
correlated Message Send event to
be fired
Message Event Example

Was available in a 7.5
Messages can now be sent and received entirely at the BPD level.
UCAs are still used for implementation

Refactoring of Advanced Artifacts

Includes a wide range of Move and Copy refactoring scenarios
Involves the advanced artifacts such as WSDLs, BOs and AIS
These artifacts are shared between ID and PD
This feature can best illustrated by two examples
30
Example 1
Scenario
Inside a Process AP an AIS was implemented in ID using a WSDL that
has the BO physically included (bound) inside
In PD we move the BO from the Process App to a Toolkit
Refactoring Actions
The AIS is automatically included in the move
This is so as not break the WSDL/BO binding
31
Advance Artifact Refactoring Example 1

2. In Process App,
Insurance AIS and
Claim BO
1. Insurance WSDL
physically includes
Claim BO. Insurance
AIS authored using
Insurance WSDL
32
3. Moving BO only to
a Toolkit

4. AIS will be moved
with the BO because
the BO cannot be
moved without
moving the WSDL
7. AIS must be reimplemented (impl.

was not moved!)
5. New destination
Toolkit snapshot
created and added
33
6. AIS. WSDL and BO

have all been moved
now reside in the
Toolkit. The PA now
references the Toolkit
Example 2
Scenario
Process App includes 2 BOs and an AIS
AIS uses the BOs and is implemented in PD
We move one of the BOs to a Toolkit
Refactoring Actions
Toolkit is snapshot
Process App is updated to reference the toolkit
In PD (upon Refresh) the Library in the Toolkit is automatically included
in the Process App module
34
1. AIS references
two BOs defines
in this Process
App
2. ID shows in the
Library: the two
BOs, Implemented
AIS, and the AIS
interface
3. Move
Customer BO to
a Toolkit
35
3. Toolkit got
snapshoted, Toolkit
reference added to
the Process App
4. Customer
BO is no in the
Toolkit
7. Toolkits Library now

referenced by the
Process App Module
6. Toolkit
referenced by
the Process App
36
5. Customer BO is
now in the Toolkit
Library
IBM Case Manager Integration with IBM BPM

Integration of cases (hosted by IBM Case Manager) with business
processes (hosted by IBM BPM)
The existing WPS 7.0 integration with ICM 5.0 (Case Task calling BPEL Process)
remains supported and unchanged
37
Two IBM Case Manager Interaction Patterns

1. Business Analyst (ICM role) uses IBM Case Manager
Case Tasks are implemented in the Case Builder task editor
- Case Tasks that execute as a business process can be implemented in IBM
BPM
- A case definition is stored in a Filenet repository
Requires ICM to be configured and connected to Process Center
2. Business Programmer (BPM role) - uses Process Designer

Four interaction patterns exist
- Create new case
- Search for exiting cases
- Retrieve properties of an exiting case
- Updating properties of an exiting case
Requires that ICM Server be configured in Process Designer
38
Pattern 1: Add a BPM Process as Case Task

Implementation
BPDs available
for re-use
39
Pattern 1: Map Case Properties to BPM Process

Variables

case variables
and the BPD
variables

IBM Case Manager Integrated Inbox

Users who need to work with IBM BPM 7.5.1 (Human Tasks and
Human Services) and IBM CM 5.1 Cases have a single consistent
interface Business Space
The inboxes and can display and edit work
IBM BPM (Human Workflow with BPDs, BPEL with Human Tasks)
- IBM BPM Inbox widgets
- IBM BPM Human Task Management widgets
IBM CM (Cases)
- ICM Case Management widgets
42
IBM Case Manager Integrated Inbox
The user, (in this case an ICM user) does not

need to know the origin of a work item.
Tasks from different runtimes all federated in a
single in-box widget
43
Different Editors Used to Open the Tasks (ICM)
Clicking an ICM task

opens it in ICM task
widget

Different Editors Used to Open the Tasks (BPEL)
Clicking BPEL
Human Task opens it
in a BPEL Human

endpoints based on an inbound message
Uses business rules to determine the appropriate endpoint selection and
routing
Rule-based endpoint
selection pattern

DSL Pattern generated

all code. Code that need
to be written:
1.Rule logic
2.Fault Assign statement in BPEL
Indicated a Stopped Activity in Test Client

When a BPEL activity is stopped due to a runtime error the Stopped state
is indicated in Integration test Client
User can then use BPC Explorer to fix and restart the stopped activity
To be in Stopped state after unhandled fault Activity must have this setting:
10/5/11 12:51:43:218 EDT] 00000644 ProcessEngine I CWWBE0057I: Activity 'Snippet1' of processes

'_PI:90030132.d4ff6ed5.feffff80.96c500ef' has been stopped because of an unhandled failure.
com.ibm.bpe.api.RuntimeFaultException: CWWBE0003E: A runtime fault was returned by the implementation of
activity 'Snippet1.
java.lang.ArithmeticException: divide by zero
54
Environment Variables in Test Client

Use of environment variables to pass values to tested components
from:
WAS properties $WAS{WAS_INSTALL_ROOT}
JVM properties $JVM{file.encoding}
Test Client variables ${MY_VAR}
JSP parameters: http://BPM:9080/TestWeb/TestServlet?PORT=9080
Enables the test cases to be configurable to different runtime

environments with no need to modify or create a Test Case for each
environment
55
Environment Variables in Test Client

Support for MTOM Attachments in WS Bindings

Since SOAP uses XML, any binary data in the SOAP message will
have to be encoded as text.
This is usually done using Base64 encoding which increases the
size of the binary data by 33%.
MTOM provides a way to send the binary data in its original binary
form, avoiding any increase in size due to encoding it in text
Supported the following WS Export transport protocols

Meaningful Validation and Deployment Errors

fix the deploy issue: Assign

Delta Deploy and Faster Full Deploy

New Delta Deploy
New feature to speed up iterative development in Integration Designer
This delta deploy is always from the tip
Faster Full Deploy

Faster especially when multiple toolkits with multiple modules and
librates are involved
This significantly improves productivity in Integration Designer

In previous versions every time a developers deployed or saved
changes in Process Center, it resulted in un-deploy followed by a full
deploy
3x better on standalone, and much more in a clustered ND
environment

Business Space Security

If the server is already behind firewall use of http may be preferable to
https
Toggle between http/https for Business Space

configBSpaceTransport.py -allowhttp
- wsadmin -lang jython -user user_name -password password -f

Secure Deployment to Off-Line Server

Define who is authorized to deploy Process Apps to offline server
Add to100custom.xml and adding the tag the security group name that
is authorized to do offline deploy
Error message is shown if the deployer does not have the right
authority
63
SI Bus Security for IBM BPM Runtime

The messaging engines underlying the IBM Process Server and
Performance Data Warehouse for IBM Business Process Manager
are now secured out of the box
In the past users were required to follow this complex set of
instructions to secure these buses
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21499518
64
Fine Grained Security per Process App

Applies to: REST API, Process Portal, Process Inspector
For example:
- Abort, suspend, resume, change, due date and move token
Need to change Process App Settings

In 7.5 this required editing custom100.xml
65
Fine Grained Security Example

User tw_user not permitted to

Command Scripts for Process Application Admin

New wsadmin based command line administration activities:
Process App activate, deactivate, deploy and un-deploy, show details of a snapshot
List of process applications, list of servers details of a server etc.
Info Center show all available commands with syntax and examples
67
Process Inspector
In 7.5, for an offline Process Server environment, it is not possible to use the process
inspector functionality for troubleshooting issues.
In 7.5.1 a new Process Inspector is included in the Process Admin Console
It provides visibility and management capabilities of process instances running on a process
server
Process Status Summary shows process instances count and Process Apps health
