Business Process Management

Creating a process step which is supposed to connect to a database works fine with both products. Therefore I don't need to dig deeper into this topic. Both solutions provide a tool to generate a jdbc connector.
What they both do:

• Create a connection type
• Create a Query adapter on top of an existing connection type.

webMethods and Intalio provide a mechanism to assign parameters from the process pipeline to the placeholders in prepared statement. Intalio helps with a wizard in Intalio Designer and webMethods has its wizard in the webMethods Developer.

With some practice, you can easily create and connect a databse accessor to your BPM process within 10 minutes.

In my HelloWorld example process, the process step 'PersistText' stores the text from the input signature of the process into a mySQL database.
