This post talks about Oracle BPM process communication with Asynchronous service. When we talk about BPM process communication with other processes or services, Those processes or services can be synchronous or asynchronous. Synchronous process/service can be invoked with Service Call flow object in Oracle BPM. It will be a straight forward approach,just by adding WebService adapter at external references and using service task to invoke the service. In case of Asynchronous process /service,we must use send /receive task or throw/catch message events when designing flows in BPM. Summary : Asynchronous process wont wait for response to be returned immediately. As soon as its been invoked ,the process will be running in the background.Its the responsibility of calling process  to make sure to look for callback response from asynchronous process for the sent request. In order to identify the correlation between request and response , the design has to be made in such a way to use
