Introduction to Human Tasks

Oracle SOA Suite provides a graphical tool, known as the Human Task Editor, for modeling your task metadata.

The modeling process consists of the following:

  • Creating and modeling a human task service component in the SOA Composite Editor.

  • Associating it with a BPEL process

  • Generating the task form for displaying the human task during runtime in Oracle BPM Worklist.

To use the Human Task Editor, you must understand human task design concepts, including the following:

  • The types of users to which to assign tasks

  • The methods by which to assign users to tasks (statically, dynamically, or rule-based)

  • The task participant types available for modeling a task to which you assign users

  • The options for creating lists of task participants

  • The participants involved in the entire life cycle of a task

This section provides a brief overview of these modeling tasks and provides references to specific modeling instructions.
