How to schedule an Oracle Bpel process using Oracle Enterprise Schedule Service

In my previous post, I have explained the installation of Oracle Enterprise Schedule Service . This post, I walk through on invoking an Oracle Bpel process every one-minute using OESS. Here below is my depleted sample Oracle BPEL composite that I am going to invoke. BPEL composite is exposed as Web Service. We need the Webservice URL to supply it to the Schedule service. I get the BPEL composite WS URL by click on the composite and clicked on the TEST button

Creating a JOB schedule involved two steps:

1. Create a JOB Definition

2. Sublimit the Job

1. Create a Job Definition

Here we are defining How to call the Oracle BPEL to compose

1. Log in to WebLogic Enterprise Manager, Right click on the ESSAPP, Job Metadata and Select JOB Definition

2. Click on the Create button

3. Input Job name and Job Type, Both Synchronous and Asynchronous web services are supported. Mine is Synchronous web service, so I selected it. Then, input your BPEL web service URL, Click GO button, and selected service you want to invoke

4. Click OK once done. This will create a JOB in the OESS.

2. Submit the Job Request

1. Right click on ESAPP, Job Requests and click Submit Job Requests

2. Click on the Search icon, Click Go, it will list the jobs we created above, Select the Job and Click Ok

3. Select the Specify Interval, Input the interval and Click Ok

4. Click on the Job History to see the list of submitted jobs

5. As you see below, my BPEL process invoked every one minute
