BPEL sensors are used to monitor the specific events throughout the lifecycle of a BPEL instance. The specific event can be the activation or completion of an activity or change of a variable value. When a sensor is triggered, a specific sensor value is created. The sensor value contains the time stamp, the value of the variable at the moment the sensor triggered, and other related information. The data format of the sensor value is in a normalized and well-defined XML format.
An Oracle BAM Sensor Action is used to publish BPEL sensor data into existing Data Objects on a BAM Server. This is another way that you can integrate from BPEL to BAM.
To create BAM sensor actions, perform the following steps in JDeveloper:
1. Ensure that the BAM Server connection is present in the Application Resource pane in JDeveloper. To create a BAM connection, follow the instructions in the Creating a BAM Server connection section that you saw earlier.
2. Open a BPEL...
