Hi Jules,

I just saw another post with a same question about running a BPEL process from inside APEX. Did you come any further with your integration? Maybe that will help the other person too.

Thanks,
Dimitri

Hi,

The difficulty in this scenario is that you're going to integrate a data-centric application, APEX, with a data-centric process-handling technology, BPEL. In this case you will feed data from the database, fetched with APEX, back into a bpel process that inserts the data in the database.

The surplus of BPEL is the orchestration part to handle a process flow from A to Z, which can't be handled easily by APEX without a lot of manual work.

How is APEX going to handle hierarchical data that needs to be fed into your bpel process. Still a lot of architectural questions that need to handled, which is the case for each scenario of course ;o)

Kind regards,
Nathalie
