Before using COM components from processes or BPM Objects, you must include them into
the project catalog. When you catalog a component, you are gathering all the necessary
information that Studio needs in order to call and execute it at runtime.
Before performing the procedures in this task, you should ensure that the COM Bridge is installed and running on your
system. See Installing COM Bridge as a Service for
more information.
You should also ensure that you have created a module where you want to catalog the COM
components. See Creating a Module.
To catalog a COM Component:
-
Right-click on the module where you want to catalog the COM component.
-
Select
-
Select one of the following options:
| Option |
Description |
|---|
| Use existing configuration |
Select this option if you have already configured an
External Resource for the COM Component. |
| Create a new configuration |
Select this option if you need to configure a new External
Resource for the COM Component. See
Creating an External Resource. |

Click Next.
Oracle BPM Studio creates a list of COM Type Libraries
that can be cataloged. This may take several minutes.
-
Select the COM Type Libraries you want to introspect.
-
Click Next.
The libraries are analyzed for dependencies and
introspected.
-
Click Finish.
The libraries you chose to catalog appear in the Project Navigator.
