You use the SOA Composite Editor and Oracle BPEL Designer to perform the following tasks:

  • Define an SDO binding component service and a BPEL process service component in the composite application.

  • Connect (wire) the SDO service and BPEL process service component.

  • Define the details of the BPEL process service component.
