Spend your money on something else. This book is extremely bad. You can simply go to Oracles web site and find the same information. Even if the book was free I would not recommend it. Not enough of the information I needed at the time to get a jump start on everything Oracle BPM related. This book provides a solid introduction to the major concepts and Business Process Management BPM and to the suite of tools provided by Oracle.

Chapter 2, Getting Started with BPM, begins by making an important distinction between processes in general and business process. They are not the same and this important fact is not always obvious when you are working with different process engines. BPM generally operates at a high level of abstraction, as opposed to integration process engines that tend to be concerned with lower level more technical processes. It provides a good mental model of the product, its capabilities and the life cycle management of BPM projects. Beginning with chapter 4, Functional Overview, the book becomes increasingly technical.

Chapter 5 introduces the project around which the book is centered. Throughout the rest of the book you will build pieces of this overall process.

The authors provide a real-world business process and then go through the step to realize that complex business process using Oracle BPM Suite 11gR1. The process that you will build is focused on sales quote processing. Chapter 6, Product Installation, details how to not only install the Oracle BPM Suite 11gR1 product, but also how to create and configure a WebLogic Server domain and an Oracle database used for managing project meta data.

The level of detail in this chapter makes the installation a snap. This chapter is also the first chapter where you get your hands dirty by creasting the BPM application.

You will create the business process for processing sales quutes, define roles for the participants in the process. This leads directly to chapter 8, Process Organization Model, which covers the core concepts of organizations, roles and participants. It also has more steps for the tutorial. Chapter 9, Simulation and the Analysis of the Business Process, is one of my favorites. The ability to simulate process execution is incredibly valuable.

To see your process running with multiple instances makes it clear where your process can be improved. And whether Oracle plans to have SDO support take over from the Database Adapter and really become a key player in database and other data sources interaction is not clear at all from the book.

How exotic will SDO turn out to be — that is a question I wonder about. The final chapter discusses B2B or Business to Business integration. However, it seems a little far removed from the otherwise very technical discussions in the book. I expect only a small minority of readers to actually try out the tutorial for this B2B chapter.

Some topics that I really missed include: Come to think of it, Domain Value Maps are not discussed at all. The scope of this book does not include architectural principles that underpin the SOA Suite and the applications running in it, a discussion of Governance and other meta-level and process oriented concepts. It is very much focused on the implementation of functionality, not so much the rationale behind it or the objectives with it.

Given the background of the authors, it would have been nice to see more in terms of guidelines and best practices as they would be very useful and this team surely would be able to provide them. I realize the business case is a matter of personal taste as much as anything.

The case is not about any particular fictional organization and as a result does not really come alive in my mind at least. Perhaps this is a good thing, as you do not alienate people who are in a different business and order are something everyone understands. Yet the way the case is treated does not make it interesting in any way — I would consider that a missed opportunity. I do not believe that after reading or working your way through this book, you will be able to design and develop your own composite applications. The book does get you going and helps you to quickly gain familiarity with the tooling and a particular instance of the concepts.

Given that the book has been written by members of the product management team at Oracle for SOA Suite, I would have hoped for more background, more vision and more from behind the scenes tips and insights. I find the book very thin on theory: Alternatives are hardly discussed at all. It is plain and simple: On the bright side: With this book, anyone can do it.

I would suggest however that the two are quite complementary: A Hands-On Tutorial and concluding that you want to learn more and delve deeper into the SOA Suite and the concepts around it, it would make perfect sense to read my book, Oracle SOA Suite 11g Handbook, as that takes you to the next level.
