About Oracle Process Accelerators


Hi Guys To Day I'm Posting about Oracle Process Accelerator overview and what are all accelerators present in Today's Market


Overview:
The use a Business Process Management (BPM) tool such as Oracle's BPM Suite. Well words like integration; efficiency; flexibility; collaboration; clarity; understanding and speed quickly come to mind for those of us that have worked on projects using Oracle BPM. The main use cases are work flow and service orchestration.

Oracle Process Accelerators (PAs) are pre-built BPM solutions, deployable straight out-of-the-box yet designed to be easily extensible. PAs are product-quality, tested according to Oracle Software quality assurance processes. They are complete solutions including best practice process models, business rules, UI, dashboards, and integration to Oracle applications as required. PAs are productized BPM solutions, applying Oracle’s expertise in delivering a complete, fully integrated BPM Suite, packaged applications, and industry knowledge.

Oracle Process Accelerators target both critical industry and horizontal business processes:

Industry Specific Accelerators:
Industry Process Accelerators leverage industry domain expertise and BPM best practices and patterns. They provide a running start for adopting organizations and can be extended and evolved for sustained competitive advantage.
  • Industry process accelerators embody industry-specific best practices and patterns in addition to Oracle BPM Suite best practices

  • Public Sector Incident Reporting(PSIR)

  • Financial Services Loan Origination (FSLO)

  • Financial Reports Approval (FRA)

  • Mobile Data Offloading (MDO)

  • Electronic Forms Management (eFM)



Horizontal Accelerators:

  • Horizontal Process Acceklerators target internal business processes that represent a constant resource drain in many organizations. Addressing these processes with BPM-based PA solutions yields better productivity and efficiency.

  • Horizontal process accelerators provide instant functionality and reuse for processes common in most organizations and can be easily modified to fit your requirements

  • Internal Service Request(ISR)

  • Employee On Boarding(EOB)

  • Travel Request Management(TRM)

  • Document Routing and Approval (DRA)



How to Customize:



We can customize Process Accelerators as normal BPM Process we can add the manual task,user activity,send or receive task like how we add to normal bpm process as per our requirements.



Business Benefits:



Features:



  • Pre-defined process models and rules(BPM Process Model,Business rules,Data Models,UI (ADF Screens),Human Workflow ,BAM dashboards,Documentation)

  • Easy to customize and extend

  • Pre-defined metrics and key performance indicators

  • Embedded best practices

  • Collaboration enabled

  • Industry- and horizontal-specific

  • Product-level tested, end-to-end implementations, ready to deploy


Benefits:

  • Reach process excellence faster with lowered risk and realize ROI faster(Speed – quickly deploy and start using a solution )

  • Enable users to react quickly to changing requirements

  • Get started with your process monitoring and improvement

  • Leverage embedded design patterns for creating best-in-class, process-based applications

  • Align business and IT around a common BPM delivery model

  • Process-based solutions specific to industry, right out of the box

  • Reduce risk and hit the ground running with industrial strength, pre-built processes
  • Increased knowledge
  • Best practice
  • Ready to use / extend (product grade)



the organisation adopting the process accelerator is given a massive boost up the BPM Capability Maturity model by adopting solutions that have been iteratively developed by Oracle with industry customers and leading product specialists to solve their BPM problems. Accelerators can act as a guide of best practice or as a means of increasing knowledge in an inexperienced development team (see Reaching Process Excellence with Oracle Process Accelerators - Using Best Practices to Accelerate BPM Value Creation).

Different accelerators are implemented to demonstrate various aspects of best practice such as:

• Process design: e.g. keeping the top level process diagram recognisable to the business user

• Workspace: e.g. reusing fragments of screens (UI and Workflow)

• Services: e.g. hide complexity of existing services behind façades or contracts

To get started with accelerators, we need to email oracle_process_accelerators@beehiveonline.oracle.com to request access to the team site on Oracle Beehiveonline. Oracle are very keen to push the usage of Accelerators and were actively canvassing ideas for new accelerators at this year’s Oracle OpenWorld. So … if you have any ideas … or a problem that needs solving … maybe email the same address above!

The accelerators come with the following artefacts:

  1. Installation Guide
  2. Source Code
  3. Scripts to install the accelerators
  4. Documentation related to each accelerator
  5. UPK (Universal Productivity Kit) related to each accelerator

Resetting The Weblogic Username And Password


Sometimes you will find that you have forgot the WebLogic Server Admin User password, however its simple task if you want to reset it, You just need to have access to the box where the WebLogic Server is Installed
Follow the below steps to reset the Admin User Password for WebLogic in Windows environment.

STEP : 1 : Navigate to Domain
cd E:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\base_domain\bin

Step 2 : Set the Domain Environment
E:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\base_domain\bin>setDomainEnv.cmd

Step 3: Navigate to Security Directory
E:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\base_domain\security

Step 4: Rename the DefaultAuthenticatorInit.ldift as below.
E:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\base_domain\security>rename DefaultAuthenticatorInit.ldift DefaultAuthenticatorInit_old.ldift

Step 5 : Execute the below command :
E:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\base_domain\security>java weblogic.security.utils.AdminAccount <username>weblogic <password>Weblogic123 . (space Between Password and Dot)

Notice that there is a DOT (.) at the end of the command, that notifies that it will reset the password in current directory, the above command will create the file DefaultAuthenticatorInit.ldift as below.

Step 6 : Go to Security Folder of Admin Server
E:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\base_domain\servers\AdminServer\security

Edit the boot.properties file as below and save it.
password=Weblogic123(Your Required Password)
username=weblogic (
Your Required Name )

Step 7. Navigate to following Directory
E:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\base_domain\servers\AdminServer\data

Step 8 : Rename LDAP Directory as below, it will be recreated During WebLogic Server start-up.

E:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\base_domain\servers\AdminServer\data>rename ldap ldap_old

Step 9 : Restart the Server as below.
E:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\base_domain\bin>startWebLogic.cmd
