Developing Business Processes That Use IBM WebSphere Portal and WebSphere Process Server

This paper teaches a developer the basics of building a business process that utilizes IBM WebSphere Portal as its human interaction service (staff). Additionally, the developer will learn how to complete a sub-process as an example of what it takes to break down larger business systems. The developer will also learn how to use the client artifacts required to develop process portlets in IBM Rational Application Developer exported from the completed business process in IBM WebSphere Integration Developer. This paper helps a developer to grow his or her understanding of Portal's role as a human interaction service and understand how it helps to reduce decision latency.
