3.10.10 Human Workflow
Human workflow enables you to model a flow that describes the tasks for users or groups to perform as part of an end-to-end business process flow. Many end-to-end
business processes require human interactions with the process. For example, humans may be needed for approvals, exception management, or performing activities
required to advance the business process. Human workflow provides the following features:
■
Human interactions with processes, including assignment and routing of tasks to the correct users or groups
■
Deadlines, escalations, notifications, and other features required for ensuring the timely performance of a task human task activity
■
Presentation of tasks to end users through a variety of mechanisms, including a worklist application Oracle BPM Worklist
■
Organization, filtering, prioritization, and other features required for end users to productively perform their tasks

3.10.11 Oracle Mediator
Oracle Mediator provides a lightweight framework to mediate between various components within a composite application. Mediator converts data to facilitate
communication between different interfaces exposed by different components, which are wired together to build a SOA composite application. For example, a Mediator can
accept data contained in a text file from an application or service, transform it to a format appropriate for updating a database that serves as a customer repository, and
then route and deliver the data to that database.
Oracle Mediator works as a service component in the SOA Suite to facilitate integration between events and services, where service invocations and events can be
mixed and matched. You can use a Mediator component to consume a business event or to receive a service invocation. A Mediator component can evaluate routing rules,
perform transformations, validate, and either invoke another service or raise another business event. You can use a Mediator component to handle returned responses,
callbacks, faults, and timeouts.
For information about Oracle Mediator, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Developers Guide for Oracle SOA Suite.
