As you saw in the previous chapter, Data Objects contain the data layout and content on which BAM reports are generated. To render a dynamic report that displays a continuous stream of business data from various data sources (BPEL processes, SOA composites, JMS destinations, web services, and so on), you need to find a solution on populating these Data Objects with real-time business data.
In this chapter, various technologies that can be used to move business data to BAM will be covered:
Each section in the chapter discusses different technologies, which are not directly related to each other, and may require different skill sets or backgrounds to understand the concepts. So, you may either read these sections one by one, or pick up any section that you are interested in to start with. For example, learning about the Oracle BAM Adapter and BPEL sensors requires an Oracle SOA background. You may skip these two sections completely, and get back to them, if you decide to brush up on these skills later.
