A Secondary Topologies for Oracle SOA Suite and Oracle Business Process Management
Oracle Business Process Management Standalone Topology
An alternate topology for Oracle SOA Suite is the Oracle Business Process Management (BPM) standalone topology.
About the Oracle Business Process Management Standalone Topology
Figure A-1 illustrates the Oracle Business Process Management standalone topology.
Use this topology when you require a simple domain that offers only the Oracle Business Process Management software capabilities and no cluster.
Note that there might be licensing implications for domains where you deploy Oracle Business Process Management to a cluster. See the Oracle Business Process Management in Licensing Information.
This topology consists of an Administration Server and one Managed Server in a Oracle WebLogic Server domain on a single host (SOAHOST1). Both the Oracle SOA Suite software and Oracle Business Process Management software are targeted to the Managed Server.
The required product database schemas are installed in a supported Oracle database on a separate host (DBHOST1).

Oracle SOA Suite and Enterprise Scheduler Topology
You can integrate the capabilities of Oracle Enterprise Scheduler with Oracle SOA Suite.
About the Oracle SOA Suite and Oracle Enterprise Scheduler Topology
Figure A-2 shows the Oracle SOA Suite and Enterprise Schedule Services (ESS) topology.
Use this topology to integrate the capabilities of Oracle Enterprise Scheduler with Oracle SOA Suite.
The topology is similar to the Oracle SOA Suite standard installation topology, described in About the Oracle SOA Suite Standard Installation Topology; however, in this topology, the Oracle Enterprise Scheduler software is targeted to the Oracle WebLogic Server cluster, in addition to the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure and Oracle SOA Suite software.

Oracle Business Process Management and Application Development Framework (ADF) Topology
You can target the Oracle Business Process Management software to one cluster and the Oracle Application Development Framework software to another cluster, so there is no resource contention between the two products.
About the Oracle Business Process Management and Oracle Application Development Framework Topology
Figure A-3 shows the Oracle Business Process Management (BPM) and Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF) topology.
Use this topology if you are deploying applications that take advantage of both the BPM software and a custom user interface developed using ADF. This topology allows you to target the BPM software to one cluster and the ADF software to another cluster, so there is no resource contention between the two products.
