Overview
This course will provide each participant with a thorough understanding of the role of Business Process Execution Language and its role for modeling corporate workflows and SOA processing. This course will focus on the usage of business process models, the role of BPEL and BPEL4WS, WBI product support, integration of WSDL and other XML standards, BPELWS partner concepts, stateful interactions, BPEL IBM extensions, use of the WBI Modeler, mapping elements in BPEL4WS, migration of MQ Workflows to BPEL4WS, use of FDL2BPEL migration tool and mapping FDL constructs to BPEL4WS.
All aspects of this class will incorporate the specific architecture of BNSF to illustrate the implementation of these techniques.
Prerequisites
Each student should have a basic understanding of application development and design methodologies.
Class Format
Lecture and Lab
Audience
Designed for programmers, managers, project leaders, enterprise architects and other technical individuals that need to understand the modeling of business workflows.
Learning Objectives
After completing this course, the student should be able to:
- Understand the role of business process modeling
- Learn the syntax and semantics of BPEL and
BPEL4WS
- Understand the relationship between BPEL
and other Web services standards such as WSDL
(Web services Description Language)
- Gain experience using BPEL by building a
progressively complex, process-centric application
- Understand which BPEL constructs are most
appropriate for different application scenarios
- Using modeling tools to develop BPEL and
BPEL4WS processes
- Depict the key concepts of BPEL4WS: partners,
endpoints, activities, correlation, data handling
and scope
- Illustrate element BPEL4WS mapping for files,
I/O, control nodes, processes, decisions and
while loops
- Understand the generated files and the role
of the different files generated from our BPEL
models
- Depict the migration of MQ Workflow to BPEL4WS
and the use of migration tools
