Regarding
Q4:How to integrate BAM and Oracle BPEL

This should help.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/integration/bam/10.1.3/TechNotes/TechNote_BPELSensorsForBAM.pdf

Basically you need to make use of Sensors in your BPEL process to push data to BAM ADC data objects and from those data objects build your Dashboard reports.

i should work on POC of Oracle Service Bus (OSB) proxy services using the OSB reporting action and a plug-in reporting provider. Oracle BAM Reports is the Custom reporting provider in my case. On high level, i should build a POC in which the Report action from OSB should interact with BAM Server and publish to the Active Data Cache of the BAM Server and should display the Report.

can any 1 help me with it
