About the Components Catalog

The components catalog of a BPM project defines the set of business objects and services available to all business processes in the project.

The catalog organizes components in a hierarchical structure of modules. Each module can contain components and other modules.

Standard Modules

The following standard modules are included in every project:
  • Fuego: Contains sub-modules with BPM-specific components. Refer to the Oracle BPM Components Reference for details.
  • Java: Contains the complete standard Java APIs. You can use the Java APIs directly from PBL.
  • Plumtree: Contains legacy APIs for integration with Oracle User Interaction (formerly AquaLogic Interaction).

The standard modules are always available and are predefined in the component catalog of every BPM project.

The standard modules are read-only. You cannot remove, modify or add components (or sub-modules) to the standard modules.

User-Defined Modules

You can add your own modules to the project catalog. You can also add modules within modules, organizing them in a hierarchical structure.

You can create new BPM Objects and catalog external components into your modules. External components provide a way to communicate with external applications, services, APIs, databases, or other software resources your project needs to exchange information with.
