In this course, the participants will learn the basic concepts of business process integration and human workflow management using the Oracle BPEL Process Manager product. Participants will learn how to install, configure, and administer Oracle BPEL Process Manager. They will learn how to apply the Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) standard for assembling a set of discrete services into an end-to-end process flow. They will also learn how to translate and transform data using the Oracle BPEL Process Manager adapters.
