Introduction I visited a customer recently who asked a very interesting question.... they'd been performing a series of stress tests of their BPM project made up of many & complex BPM processes and they wanted to know if there were any activities/paths in any of their processes which they hadn't traversed... sort of like "Clover" for BPM, This led me to thinking about BPM auditing and cross-referencing this with the BPM activities. BPMN Code Coverage: The Theory Let us take a...

With the latest release of the Exalogic Virtual Environment (2.0.6.0.0) an number of modifications have been implemented and one of these is the introduction of an LVM based Guest Template. LVM was a much requested feature for the base template but it's introduction means the information provided in my blog entry Exalogic Virtual Tea Break Snippets - Modifying the Default Shipped (Base) Template is no longer appropriate because modifyjeos does not work with an LVM based...

Introduction High availability is very important in large WebCenter installations. It allows users to gracefuly switch from one node to another node in the cluster. This allows user to keep their session in case a node goes down. In order for this to work, some conciderations need to be made when implementing a WebCenter Portal application. In this article we will explain some guidelines which should help implementing with High Availability in mind. Even if you are not...

I've heard from a couple of customers recently asking about BPM audit table growth, specifically BPM_AUDIT_QUERY. It led me to investigate the impact of the various audit levels in SOA/BPM on these table and to propose options to them. It is important to note up-front that BPM is a human-centric workflow application and therefore should be expected to audit often and in detail... the reality is that business users probably will want to know who did what and when, and also who...

In a previous blog post I covered case rules from a design perspective but I've recently heard from customers that I'm working with that they were still missing something which would allow them to implement those rules in a case project. What follows is based on a presentation I created to put some "flesh on the bones" of case rules. Straight up I'd like to thank my colleague Prasen Pavlankar... I've used screen-shots from some of his projects to help demonstrate some points....

As we start to assemble the tools we need to implement Continuous Delivery, one area we need to look at is selecting a testing framework. Now, we are going to want to use a range of different testing tools, depending on what we want to test and how, but we ideally would have some kind of framework that helps to abstract those tools and gives us a single place to go to execute tests. In looking for a test framework, I have been considering the following: Preferably it should...

Oracle has just released JDK 7u40 which includes some pretty useful new features - most notable for me is the inclusion of JRockit Mission Control and Flight Recorder, giving us a lot more tools for recording and analyzing performance information for the JDK both online and after the fact. You can read all about it here.
