Hi,
I had never tried to install that, I prefer that DB to be down, since there may be some thing which requires the DB should be down if at all needed to apply or change any objects the servive might started or DB is started by installation application it self.
Let us wait for comments from others based on there comment you can proceed further.!!
So that I can learn some thing inturn..!!
Thanks & Regards,

How to run Oracle workflow in windows 7 os

Hi,
Am new to oracle workflow.
I have installed oracle workflow successfully in my laptop.
After installation I dont see any shortcut's in my desktop.
Can any one sugess me how to run oracle workflow.
Steps to begin from basic level.
Thanks
Balaji

You mean to say you installed Workflow Builder on your laptop? See that Oracle Workflow has a Client Side (WF Builder), a backend Server side and middle application side.
Assuming you successfully installed the client side then you must have a group of programs called Oracle OUIHome and there one called Application Development. There you should be able to find Workflow builder.

How to run Oracle Workflow Project

Hi people
I've installed Oracle Workflow Server in a SUN machine and I have one
development machine with the OWB (Oracle Warehouse Builder) and Oracle
Client (Oracle Enterprise Manager Client and Oracle Workflow Builder).
My OWB Project has several mappings that load tables in a Data Warehouse.
When I deploy these mappings one by one, in OEM, I can execute them in OEM
and they work well.
But when I use the Workflow Deployment Wizard, I create a new Workflow
Project (Item type and Process).
But I can't Launch this process. I go to Launch Process in Workflow page
(http://<my machine>:<port>/pls/<WorkDAD>/) but when I iniciate the project,
it stops in the OWB Standard Begin Function. It does not go ahead.
Any idea? Any hint will be very useful!
Regards.

How to install oracle workflow on my desktop?

i am having oracle 9i in my machine. i want to install oracle workflow. kindly tell me how to install or provide me with the link where installation has been explained.please let me know where i will find that documen?t
thanks.

There are two major components to install in Oracle Workflow.
1. Workflow Client - Otherwise called Oracle Workflow Builder, this is a windows based tool to design and develop your workflow process. This tool is the developer's tool for transforming the business process into a workflow process. The process definition can be stored to filesystem as a file with .wft extension or directly to a database where workflow server is installed.
2. Workflow Server - Workflow engine that executes the workflow process designed using the workflow builder above. The workflow process designed above is loaded into the workflow server either from the builder directly by connecting to the workflow server schema or using the workflow definitions loader which is a command line utility that reads the .wft file.
Installation
1. You may install the Workflow Builder 2.6.2 downloadable from OTN on your PC. This needs an appropriate Oracle Home using which the builder is built by Oracle. I believe 2.6.2 can be installed into a 9i home. It is better that you install the builder into a new Oracle Home and not use any existing homes.
2. Workflow Server 2.6.2 is shipped with Oracle Database 9iR2. In the additional or optional components (not sure about the exact words) section of your 9iR2 CD you can find Oracle Workflow 2.6.2 that provides the workflow server. You may install this into the existing Oracle Database 9iR2 Oracle home. After installing oracle workflow server you should run the Workflow Configuration Assistant to create the workflow schema in the database and create the required objects in the schema in order for the Workflow Engine to be become operational.
In summary, installation of Workflow Server has two phases.
o Install Oracle Workflow to 9iR2 home.
o Run Workflow Configuration Assistant to configure the workflow server
Once the Workflow Configuration Assistant is run successfully, you need to set up the PLSQL DAD (Database Access Descriptor) to access workflow home page using the Apache server that comes bundled with Oracle Database 9iR2.
Please refer to Oracle Workflow 2.6.2 installation document for more information.

Heyat Afroz.Probably what you are looking for is that you need to install the Guest Additions so that your vm can mount a directory from the host os. Then place your oracle installtion files on that share directory.

How to Invoke Oracle Configurator via URL Outside the APPS Firewall

Hi Gurus,
We would like to invoke Oracle Configurator via URL same as Oracle iStore. Please let me know the process/steps to meet the requirement.
Thanks in Advance,
Venky.

There is no restriction that Oracle Configurator may only be executed from within an Oracle hosting application. Configurator may be invoked from any application that has the ability to call Configurator's UI servlet. As an example, Astec (now part of Emerson Network Power) has had a Configurator application they call their "Power Wizard" on their public website for nearly eight years (http://www.powerconversion.com/powerwizard/).
Venky, I would recommend you search My Oracle Support for articles containing 'configurator firewall' or 'configurator ssl', and then filter the results to just EBS articles. If what you find there is not helpful, opening a Support Request to get information more tailored to your particular scenario may be advisable.

How to invoke Oracle Reports from JSP ?

Hi,
I need to invoke Oracle Reports ( paper format ) from my JSP in different formats /PDF, RTF, HTML/ using rwservlet and then send the content to user browser.
Please, someone to give me working example.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.
Peter.

Peter,
you can call it from a URL if you need:
/reports/rwservlet?report=...&detype=cache&desformat=pdf...
You can define a file called cgicmd.dat on teh server that takes key-value pairs of the most common parameters under an named entry.
e.g.
ReportsCommon: destype=cache server=myServer ... %*
This way your URL is reduced to a minimum length because you don't have to list all parameters in teh URL.
Second solution:
Run a Reports from a browser URL and specify paramform=yes. This create a HTML based parameter form before executing teh Reports. Have a look at the HTML form code and see to what extend your Reports share same functionality so that you could create this HTML form in your JSP page. You could have a poplist with the name of "desformat" and list HTML, HTMLCSS,PDF,RTF,XML as valid entries so that the user can select the output format.
The Reports documentation shipped with Oracle9iAS (also available online otn.oracle.com/products/reports) has all teh information you need.

How to invoke Oracle stored procedures in Web Intelligence Custom SQL ?

Hi,
Referring to some older posts, I see that there is a work around to invoke a stored procedure to return results for a Web Intelligence report. Its been posted for calling a MS SQL stored proc, whereas the mentioned method does not seem to work for an Oracle Stored Procedure.
Steps I followed:
a) This is the parameter I have added in the oracle.sbo file => <Parameter Name="Force SQLExecute">Procedures</Parameter>
b) My stored procedure code is as follows:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE get_emp_details(var_first_name OUT VARCHAR) AS
BEGIN
SELECT first_name INTO var_first_name
FROM EMP_DETAILS_VIEW
WHERE EMPLOYEE_ID = 100;
END;
c) Custom SQL code I added in my Webi report:
set nocount on;
/* SELECT
EMP_DETAILS_VIEW.FIRST_NAME
FROM
EMP_DETAILS_VIEW
exec get_emp_details;
On trying to validate the SQL it gives me the following error message: "The SQL query has 0 instead of 1 columns.(WIS 10810)"
Has anyone been able to successfully call an Oracle Stored procedure using the above method ?
Version of BO: XI R3 SP2
Oracle version: 11gR2
PS: I am aware that web intelligence since XI R3.1 does allow use of a dedicated Stored Procedure Universe. I would want to know if it could
be made to run in a normal Universe(not a stored procedure Universe)
Thanks for your time and inputs.
Regards,
Jez

EXECUTE is a SQL Plus command. You can directly call SP in PL/SQL
DECLARE
    modif number;
BEGIN
select data_length into modif from user_tab_columns where table_name='CONTROL' and column_name='POSITION';
IF modif < 10 THEN
    droptable('CONTROL');
    execute immediate('CRETAE TABLE CONTROL ....';

How to Invoke Oracle report builder installed on a server from a client

Hi,
I am using rwrun60 command to invoke report builder through a shell script. In this case the report builder is installed on the same machine where the shell script exists.
But now i have shell script which is on different server (say, Server1) and Report builder is on Server-2. How do i handle this?
the current piece of code i am using in the shell script is:
rwrun60 module=${UNCPATH}/${REPORT_DIR}/purchase.rdf userid=$DBID/$DBPASS@$DB paramform=NO batch=YES destype=File desformat=pdf desname=${SENDFILE}
Your help will be invaluable...

Hi Denis,
I used both rwrun60 & rwcli60 commands as below:
rwrun60 module=${UNCPATH}/${REPORT_DIR}/abc.rdf userid=$DBID/$DBPASS@$DB EXPRESS_SERVER="server=Server123/domain=xyz/user=myname/password=password123" ERRFILE=${UNCPATH}/${DIR}/error_test.txt paramform=NO batch=YES destype=File desformat=pdf desname=${UNCPATH}/${SENDFILE}
rwcli60 module=${UNCPATH}/${REPORT_DIR}/abc.rdf userid=$DBID/$DBPASS@$DB EXPRESS_SERVER="server=Server123/domain=xyz/user=myname/password=password123" ERRFILE=${UNCPATH}/${DIR}/error_test.txt paramform=NO batch=YES destype=File desformat=pdf desname=${UNCPATH}/${SENDFILE}
When i run the shell script file on the command prompt, all i get is this error:
rwrun60: test_outapp 42: not found
42 is the line number of rwcli60 command in the shell script file.
I verified and test_outapp.ksh file is present in the path specified..... even then why this error?...something wrong with the above code?

How to intergrate oracle workflow with oc4j or weblogic?

tks a lot

Perhaps the easiest and most straight forward is using JMS, Oracle Advanced Queuing supports JMS, and you can use AQ messages to start or continue workflows, and workflow can publish messages to AQ.

How to execute Oracle Workflow Post Notification Function

Hello All,
I have a requirement where I have to approve Expense Reports through a program rather than from notification. For the same I am using below:
wf_engine.completeactivityinternalname(itemtype=>'APEXP'
                           ,itemkey=>'4634686'
                           ,activity=>'APPROVAL_REQUEST'
                           ,result=>'APPROVE');
Now, after executing above procedure I can see that notification is approved but my workflow has not proceed to next node as I think that the function associated with notification has not executed.
Kindly help me on this that how can I approve my expense report and move the workflow to forward so that other functions will execute.
Many Thanks! in advance
Sandy

Thanks! for your reply.
I am using this API outside the workflow.I am using this API for iExpense to approve an Expense Report. In Expenses Workflow below are the processes:
1. AP_MANAGER_APPROVALPROCESS whihc is using NON_AME_APPROVAL_PROCESS and this is using REQUEST_APPROVAL_PROCESS and under this process there is a notification APPROVAL_REQUES. Now, I am completing this ACTIVITY as Approve and I am able to do that but problem is that REQUEST_APPROVAL__PROCESS is itself not getting completed and stuck here.
Please let me know how can I achieve that.
Thansks!
Sandy
