Oracle Business Process Simulator

Oracle Business Process Simulator helps you evaluate• process feasibility (e.g. endless loops)• process performance (e.g. lead times)• process cost• resource utilization

Thereby enables you to• improve and optimize process quality and performance• reduce process cost• discover weak points and bottlenecks• do benchmarks with other organizations

Oracle Business Process Simulator

• Transparent correlation of process dynamics

• Semantic correctness of process modeling before implementation

• Throughput times of processes with given resources

• Wait times• Location of resource bottlenecks

and weak points• Percentage of resource

utilization• Number of completed processes

within a determined period of time

• Other cost, time and quality KPI’s

• As-is Process KPI analysis

• Transparent correlation of process dynamics

• Semantic correctness of process modeling before implementation

• Throughput times of processes with given resources

• Wait times• Location of resource bottlenecks

and weak points• Percentage of resource

utilization• Number of completed processes

within a determined period of time

• Other cost, time and quality KPI’s

• As-is Process KPI analysis

• Capacity planning• Annual human requirements planning • Production planning • Cost reduction projects• Make or buy decisions• Optimization of resource utilization• Optimize business KPI’s

– Cost– Time – Throughput– Cycle time

• Removal of bottlenecks at best costs• Evaluation of process variants

• Optimization Use Cases

• Capacity planning• Annual human requirements planning • Production planning • Cost reduction projects• Make or buy decisions• Optimization of resource utilization• Optimize business KPI’s

– Cost– Time – Throughput– Cycle time

Oracle Business Process SimulatorControl Flow Simulation

Animation of control flow objectsUser defines when to animate objects (e.g. when being processed, when waiting dynamically)

Animation of simulation result attributesDefault attribute placement for all relevant result attributes can be activated or deactivated

Oracle Business Process SimulatorAnimation of Simulation Result Attributes

• At run time– Cumulated online statistics for object types

(tables, automatic generation of column graphic, bar chart, pie chart, line chart)

– Probes (specific object attribute value over the simulation time)

• Simulation stopped / ended– Detailed statistics (tables, charts)– Tables can be saved and re-loaded– Tables and charts can be saved– Charts can be created from any table

Oracle Business Process SimulatorEvaluation

• Discovery of “best“ processes for safeguarding organizational changes

• Ideal for realistic, company wide benchmarking• Cumulative and detailed statistics of cost and time

performance• Plausibility test of company operations • Professional visualization and presentation of results• Free scaling of models ranging from simple to

complex

Oracle BPEL Process ManagerIntroduction to BPEL

• <bpelx:flowN>• Similar to <flow>, with variable number of branches

• Provides equivalent functionality to <forEach> BPEL 2.0 activity

• <bpelx:java>• Java embedding

• Executed within the JTA transaction context

• BPEL variables, instance metadata available to the developer

• Transformation• Using an XSLT map as part of an <assign> activity

• Human Workflow Tasks• Simple approval, sequential, parallel flow, ad-hoc workflow, FYI task etc.

• Notification Services• SMS, email, Pager, Fax, Voice

• Decision Service• For rules engine integration

• Adapter services and ESB integration• File adapter, Oracle Database adapter, Messaging (JMS, AQ, MQ) Adapter, Oracle e-business

suite, …

NOTE : EPC/BPMN model includes Oracle extensions (functions and attributes)


Step 1 -- Business Analyst uses Oracle Business Process Architect to createa EPC/BPMN model of the business process

Business Analyst marks this process as ready for implementation.


Step 2 -- Business Analyst saves the process into the repository and marks itready for implementation.

NOTE : EPC/BPMN to BPEL transform happens when process is marked “Ready for Implementation” by Business Analyst


Step 3 -- Developer opens process models from the BPA repository

JDeveloperBPEL Outline designer

Double Click action on an outline activity switches to BPEL editor view of that outline activity (scope)


Step 4 -- JDeveloper BPEL Designer renders the process outline



Step 5 -- BPEL Developer completes an activity defined by business analyst(ex ‘NotifyUser’ activity )



Step 6 -- Business Analyst makes further changes to the business model thatthe developer is working on

Business Analyst marks this process as ready for implementation.


Step 7 -- BPEL Developer periodically synchronizes with latest update of theoutline from the BPA repository
