Hello,
We recently came across two migration scenarios that could potentially benefit from adding BPEL import capability to Intalio|Designer.
- IBM Websphere Business Integration Server (IBM WBI) migration to Intalio|BPP
An enterprise architect who attended our recent user conference is looking for ideas to help his employer (a major financial institution) migrate from their current IBM WBI implementation as part of a larger SOA initiative. IBM WBI persists business process definitions in BPEL. However, IBM has various proprietary extensions to standard BPEL, such as the extension to inline Java code. The architect showed us some sample BPEL files which at a glance seem to contain more lines of Java than BPEL.
In this case, even if Intalio|Designer supported BPEL import, an imported business process model will only be a skeleton of its former self.
The enterprise architect understands this issue very well but insists the BPEL import utility will still save significant effort and time for them as they migrate out of their current IBM WBI solution.
- BEA Weblogic Integration (BEA WLI) migration to Intalio|BPP
BEA WLI ships with a BPEL export utility. In principle, business process models could be exported in BPEL format from WLI, and then imported into Intalio|Designer if the BPEL import support were available.
For an actual BEA WLI migration scenario with one of our customers, please see here.
We invite feedback on the BPEL Import feature!
Anyone else has migration stories to share?
Thanks,
Shao.
