ASSIGN ACTIVITY
This activity provides a method for data manipulation, such as copying the contents of one
variable to another. Copy operations enable you to transfer information between variables,
expressions, endpoints, and other elements.
shows the Copy Rules tab of the Assign dialog for BPEL 1.1. You drag the source node to the
target node to create a BPEL copy rule from the source to the target node. This action creates
a line that connects the source and target types. The copy rule is displayed in
the From and To sections at the bottom of the dialog.

The Select Insertion Mode list above the source node section enables you to insert the next
copy rule you create either after or before the rule selected at the bottom of the dialog.
Icons display above the target node that enable you to perform the following tasks (from left
to right) on target nodes.
Expression icon: Drag this icon to a target node to invoke the Expression Builder dialog for
assigning an XPath expression to that node.
Literal (BPEL 2.0 specification) icon or XML Fragment (BPEL 1.1 specification) icon: Drag this
icon to a target node to invoke a dialog for assigning a literal (if the BPEL project supports
the BPEL 2.0 specification) or XML fragment (if the BPEL project supports the BPEL 1.1
specification) to that target node.
Remove icon: Drag this icon to a target node to create a bpelx:remove extension rule.
Rename icon: Drag this icon to rename a target node. This adds a bpelx:rename extension
rule with an element To attribute.
Recast icon: Drag this icon to recast a target node. This adds a bpelx:rename extension rule
with a typecast To attribute. This results in an xsi:type attribute in the XML output.
You can also change a selected copy rule to a bpelx extension type
(bpelx:copyList, bpelx:insertAfter, bpelx:insertBefore, or bpelx: append).
The method of selection differs between BPEL 1.1 and BPEL 2.0.

Assert Activity
This activity enables you to perform an assertion on a specified expression.
This is a standalone activity in which to specify assertions. You can also specify assertions from
the Assertions tab in invoke activities, receive activities, and the on Message branch of pick and
scope activities.
Assert Dialog

Bind Entity Activity
This activity enables you to select the entity variable to act as the data handle to access and
plug in different data provider service technologies.
The entity variable can be used with an Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF)
Business Component data provider service using service data object (SDO)-based data. The
entity variable enables you to specify BPEL data operations to be performed by an underlying
data provider service. The data provider service performs the data operations in a data store
behind the scenes and without use of other data store-related features provided by Oracle
BPEL Process Manager (for example, the database adapter). This action enhances Oracle BPEL
Process Manager runtime performance and incorporates native features of the underlying data
provider service during compilation and runtime.

Compensate Activity
This activity invokes compensation on an inner scope activity that has successfully completed.
This activity can be invoked only from within a fault handler or another compensation handler.
Compensation occurs when a process cannot complete several operations after completing
others. The process must return and undo the previously completed operations. For example,
assume a process is designed to book a rental car, a hotel, and a flight. The process books the
car and the hotel, but cannot book a flight for the correct day. In this case, the process
performs compensation by unbooking the car and the hotel. The compensation handler is
invoked with the compensate activity, which names the scope on which the compensation
handler is to be invoked.
Click the General tab to provide the activity with a meaningful name.
Select the scope activity on which the compensation handler is to be invoked.

Compensate Scope Activity
This activity enables you to start compensation on a specified inner scope that has already
completed successfully. This activity must only be used from within a fault handler, another
compensation handler, or a termination handler.

Create Entity Activity
This activity enables you to create an entity variable. The entity variable can be used with
an Oracle ADF Business Component data provider service using SDO-based data.

Email Activity
This activity enables you to send an email notification about an event.
For example, an online shopping business process of an online bookstore sends a courtesy
email message to you after the items are shipped. The business process calls the notification
service with your user ID and notification message. The notification service gets the email
address from Oracle Internet Directory.

Flow Activity
This activity enables you to specify one or more activities to be performed concurrently. A flow
activity completes when all activities in the flow have finished processing. Completion of a flow
activity includes the possibility that it can be skipped if its enabling condition is false.
For example, assume you use a flow activity to enable two loan offer providers (United Loan
service and Star Loan service) to start in parallel. In this case, the flow activity contains two
parallel activities – the sequence to invoke the United Loan service and the sequence to invoke
the Star Loan service. Each service can take an arbitrary amount of time to complete their loan
processes.
Figure A-14 shows an initial flow activity with its two panels for parallel processing. You drag
activities into both panels to create parallel processing. When complete, a flow activity looks
like that shown

for Each Activity
This activity enables you to process multiple sets of activities sequentially or in parallel. The for
Each activity executes its contained (child) scope activity exactly N+1 times, where N equals the
final counter value minus the starting counter value that you specify in the Counter Values tab
of the For Each dialog. While other structured activities such as a flow activity can have any type
of activity as its contained activity, the for Each activity can only use a scope activity.

If Activity
This activity enables you to define conditional behavior for specific activities to decide between
two or more branches. Only one activity is selected for execution from a set of branches.

Invoke Activity
This activity enables you to specify an operation you want to invoke for the service (identified
by its partner link). The operation can be one-way or request-response on a port provided by
the service. You can also automatically create variables in an invoke activity. An invoke activity
invokes a synchronous web service or initiates an asynchronous web service.
The invoke activity opens a port in the process to send and receive data. It uses this port to
submit required data and receive a response. For synchronous callbacks, only one port is
needed for both the send and the receive functions.
The invoke activity supports the bpelx:inputProperty and bpelx:outputProperty that facilitate
the passing of properties through the SOAP header and the obtaining of SOA runtime system
properties for useful information such as
the tracking.compositeInstanceId and tracking.conversationId.
Figure A-20 shows the Invoke dialog in BPEL 1.1. You can perform the following tasks:
Provide the activity with a meaningful name.
Select the partner link for which to specify an operation.
Select the operation to be performed.
Automatically create a variable or select an existing variable in which to transport the data
(payload).

Partner Link Activity
This service enables you to define the external services with which your process interacts. A
partner link type characterizes the conversational relationship between two services by
defining the roles played by each service in the conversation and specifying the port type
provided by each service to receive messages within the conversation. For example, if you are
creating a process to interact with a Credit Rating Service and two loan provider services
(United Loan and Star Loan), you create partner links for all three services.
. You provide the following details:
A meaningful name for the service.
The web services description language (WSDL)
file of the external service.
The actual service type
(defined as Partner Link Type).
The role of the service
(defined as Partner Role).
The role of the process requesting the service
(defined as My Role).

Pick Activity
This activity waits for the occurrence of one event in a set of events and performs the activity
associated with that event. The occurrence of the events is often mutually exclusive (the
process either receives an acceptance or rejection message, but not both). If multiple events
occur, the selection of the activity to perform depends on which event occurred first. If the
events occur nearly simultaneously, there is a race and the choice of activity to be performed is
dependent on both timing and implementation.
The pick activity provides an On Message branch. When you double-click the On Message icon
in BPEL 1.1,

Reply Activity
This activity allows the process to send a message in reply to a message that was received
through a receive activity. The combination of a receive activity and a reply activity forms a
request-response operation on the WSDL port type for the process.
the Reply dialog includes a Documentation tab and does not
include a Skip Condition tab or Assertions tab.

Rethrow Activity
This activity enables you to rethrow a fault originally captured by the immediately enclosing
fault handler.

Scope Activity
This activity consists of a collection of nested activities that can have their own local variables,
fault handlers, compensation handlers, and so on. A scope activity is analogous to a { } block in
a programming language.
Each scope has a primary activity that defines its behavior. The primary activity can be a
complex structured activity, with many nested activities within it to arbitrary depth. The scope
is shared by all the nested activities.

shows the Add Catch icon inside a scope activity. shows the catch activity area that
appears when you click the Add Catch icon. Within the area defined as Drop Activity Here,
you drag additional activities to create fault handling logic to catch and manage
exceptions.
For example, a client provides a social security number to a Credit Rating service when
applying for a loan. This number is used to perform a credit check. If a bad credit history is
identified or the social security number is identified as invalid, an assign activity inside the
catch activity notifies the client of the loan offer rejection. The entire loan application
process is terminated with a terminate activity.
Figure A-34 Creating a Catch Branch

Sequence Activity
This activity enables you to define a collection of activities to be performed in sequential order.
For example, you may want the following activities performed in a specific order:
A customer request is received in a receive activity.
The request is processed inside a flow activity that enables concurrent behavior.
A reply message with the final approval status of the request is sent back to the customer in a
reply activity.
A sequence activity makes the assumption that the request can be processed in a reasonable
amount of time, justifying the requirement that the invoker wait for a synchronous response
(because this service is offered as a request-response operation).
When this assumption cannot be made, it is better to define the customer interaction as a pair
of asynchronous message exchanges.
When you double-click the Sequence icon, the activity area shown in Figure A-36 appears. Drag
and define appropriate activities inside the sequence activity.

Switch Activity
This activity consists of an ordered list of one or more conditional branches defined in a case
branch, followed optionally by an otherwise branch. The branches are considered in the order
in which they appear. The first branch whose condition is true is taken and provides the activity
performed for the switch. If no branch with a condition is taken, then the otherwise branch is
taken. If the otherwise branch is not explicitly specified, then an otherwise branch with an
empty activity is assumed to be available. The switch activity is complete when the activity of
the selected branch completes.
A switch activity differs in functionality from a flow activity. For example, a flow activity enables
a process to gather two loan offers at the same time, but does not compare their values. To
compare and make decisions on the values of the two offers, a switch activity is used. The first
branch is executed if a defined condition (inside the case branch) is met. If it is not met, the
otherwise branch is executed.

Terminate Activity
A terminate activity enables you to end the tasks of an activity (for example, the fault
handling tasks in a catch branch). For example, if a client's bad credit history is identified or a
social security number is identified as invalid, a loan application process is terminated, and
the client's loan application document is never submitted to the service loan providers.

Validate Activity
This activity enables you to validate variables in the list. The variables are
validated against their XML schema.

Transform Activity
This activity enables you to create a transformation that maps source elements to target
elements (for example, incoming purchase order data into outgoing purchase order
acknowledgment data).
Figure A-42 shows the Transform dialog in BPEL 1.1. This dialog enables you to perform the
following tasks:
Define the source and target variables and parts to map.
Specify the transformation mapper file.
Click the second icon (the Add icon) to the right of the Mapper File field to access the XSLT
Mapper for creating a new XSL file for graphically mapping source and target elements.
Click the Edit icon (third icon) to edit an existing XSL file.

Wait Activity
This activity allows a process to specify a delay for a certain period or until a certain deadline
is reached. A typical use of this activity is to invoke an operation at a certain time. This activity
enables you to wait for a given time period or until a certain time has passed. Exactly one of
the expiration criteria must be specified.
