Overview

Basic Requirements

To complete this tutorial, you need to have installed Oracle BPM Studio 10.3. The latest version of Studio is available in the Oracle Downloads page.

BPM Studio provides a separate profile for each of three specific user types: one profile for Business Analysts, one for Business Architects, and another for Developers. Each profile contains a different level of functionality. In this tutorial, you must use the Developer profile. If you use either of the other two profiles, you will not be able to complete the tutorial.

To select the Developer profile, on the Studio toolbar, choose Help, then choose Welcome, then choose Developer.

Using the Tutorial
