Process Payloads need to be copied, Assigns to set up parameters
Import from BPA to JDeveloper tool, the build.xml and build properties are often missing and need to be copied from other projects
Human Tasks need to have forms assigned
Embedded Java tasks cannot be round-tripped back into BPA, so they shouldn’t be used

11g - Oracle Fusion Middleware

Written by ashok.aggarwal ashok.aggarwal on Friday, October 12th, 2007

I have been involved in the Fusion Middleware 11g beta program as well as participating in other ways as a member of the Advisory Board for Oracle Portal and Oracle SOA Suite. Although I can’t say much, I can tell you that there is some exciting new features coming for developers, administrators, and end-users.

Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g will prove to be a very large release that is both deep and broad. As more information becomes public (or I am authorized to share more), I will do so on this blog.

Until then, just get ready.
