Business
Process Manager Express and Business Process Manager Standard run BPMN
processes, providing the functionality of Lombardi Edition. Business Process
Manager Advanced adds the ability to run BPEL processes, providing the
functionality of both Lombardi Edition and Process Server. This article focuses
on Business Process Manager Advanced.
A key
concept from Lombardi Edition that is expanded on in Business Process Manager
is that of a central repository for all process artifacts, called the Process
Center. All of the items you build are stored and governed by the Process
Center. The Process Center is a process repository, focusing on assets at
the process level. It can work with WebSphere Service Registry and Repository,
which provides governance at the service level.
The
tool used by BPMN process designers who formerly used the Lombardi Authoring
Environment is now called the IBM Process Designer (hereafter called Process
Designer). The tool used by BPEL developers who previously used WebSphere
Integration Developer is now called the IBM Integration Designer (hereafter
called Integration Designer).
How
you could create a human-centric process in Lombardi Edition, and invoke an
integration-centric process in Process Server. In this article, you'll see how
the same scenario can be performed using Business Process Manager V7.5, and how
having the Process Center as a common repository makes the development and
deployment effort easier. The first scenario will show a top-down design, where
you start with a BPMN process in Process Designer and create a new service to
be implemented in Integration Developer. The second scenario will show a
bottoms-up design, where you create an asset in Integration Developer and make
it available to Process Designer for use in a BPMN process.
For
the purposes of this article, a pre-built process is provided. You'll begin by
importing the process, exploring it, and exposing it as a Web service. A
project interchange file is provided for you to download and unzip.
The
Process Center manages process applications. You can access the Process Center
from Process Designer, Integration Designer, or from a web browser. Since
you'll begin with a BPEL process, you'll use Integration Designer for this
section. Process applications consist of artifacts created in Process Designer,
Integration Designer, or both. This enables you to manage all relevant
artifacts in a single container, the Process App
