Oracle Business Process Management Suite is a complete set of tools for creating, executing, and optimizing business processes.
Oracle BPM Suite 11g offers the flexibility that business demands, hand-in-hand with the power IT requires. The result is an agile platform that brings together your existing applications, enabling you to react quickly to new business requirements.
With this cookbook we will develop rich, interactive business processes using the Oracle Business Process Management suite.
With Oracle BPM Suite 11g Developer's Cookbook, a common process model based on BPMN is presented to the specific role assigned to readers in each chapter. Explore Oracle BPM 11g with Modelling, Implementation, Simulation, Deployment, Exception Management, BPM and SOA in Concert, Advanced Rules and Human tasks, End User Interaction and Run-time.
Oracle BPM Suite 11g Developer's Cookbook will help readers learn BPM 11g through a Real World Sample Process.
This book is divided into four sections: the first section, Modeling, lays the foundation and demonstrates how to implement the Modeling of Business processes for a Use Case of a Fictitious Organization which needs BPM to be implemented at their site (with data objects and information handling). In the second section, Implementation, we learn about Process Implementation, Human Interaction, Business Rules, and much more. In the third section, Measuring, we learn about Post Process Development, Performance Analysis and Simulation Models. In the last section, Deployment, Migration and Run-Time, we learn deployment and migration, and Post Deployment Run-Time.
Approach
This book is written in simple, easy to understand format with lots of screenshots and step-by-step explanations.
Who this book is for
If you are a BPM,Oracle SOA or Oracle Fusion Applications - developer, designer, architect, end-user looking to develop BPM solutions without impediments, then this is the best guide for you. Book assume that you have fundamental knowledge of BPM.
I am impressed by the amount of effort that Oracle has put into building out this BPM 11g product. The sheer arbitrariness of a business process must have been a headache to code a framework to. It appears that Oracle has admirably let the developer easily lay out complex interactive tasks. Take the example figure on page 93 of a screenshot of a final modelling process. The user interface lets you intuitively put together such a process that consists of several (many!) interactive tasks into a compound Task, explicitly spelt with a capital T in the book's convention. Of course, this naturally and immediately suggests that this new composite Task might in turn be a single task in a higher level of other tasks. Hence the expressive power of the user interface is vast. Perhaps effectively unbounded!
The book might be favourably compared to earlier texts on Service Oriented Architecture, like this one by Erl, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA): Concepts, Technology, and Design from almost 10 years ago. That earlier text while stuffed with information, simply lacks the specificity and detailed user interface building ability of Acharya's book. It is instructive to thumb through both side by side. Progress has been considerable, and one should certainly hope so. At the simplest level, Erl lacked any nifty GUI to construct a business process. Instead, much space was devoted to explaining at the XML level how a BPM or SOA would be fitted together. Whereas Acharya shows no XML; mostly focusing on explicating the resources of the GUI.
Granted, Acharya is still not an easy read. But you can now focus on the business essentials of a process and safely ignore the lowest level of actually explicitly constructing XML snippets. The latter is highly error prone and Erl's book made it hard to see the larger picture.

Oracle BPM 11g Developer's Cookbook talks about the subject in very concise and efficient manner.
Author has assumed that reader of this book will be having basic knowledge of Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g and SOA Suite in particular which is fair.
Book focuses on hands on and how which is good for beginners but experienced are also interested in why as well.
Book is helpful in understanding of features of Oracle BPM 11g.
Chapters on Collaboration,AMX,Error handling and implementation cover the topics which will help many readers of Oracle Fusion Applications community too.
Lenght and breadth of the book is very impressive.
It is an attractive book, providing a fine balance between information, action (hands-on) and background.
