How to Schedule OWB Process Flows through OEM

Hi,
I have successfully created mappings and process flows for my project.
But now I want to schedule the process flows through OEM.
Following are my DB configurations..
OWB Version : 10g R1 (Oracle SID LVDSGDEV ) on windows
Runtime Owner: ATS_RUN_OWNER (Oracle SID LVDSGDEV )
Runtime User : ATS_RUN_USER (Oracle SID LVDSGDEV )
Work Flow Schema: OWF_MGR (Oracle SID LVDSGDEV)
Source & Target DB : 10g (Oracle SID LVRUNDEV) on windows
Process which I want to Schedule is....
Process Flow Location: ATS_LOC
Process Flow Name: PKG_DM
Process Name: BASE_LOAD
Can someone please suggest me, the procedure to schedule this process flow.....

You may choose just to schedule the mapping directly through OEM. Create an OEM SQLPlus job that calls the script:
@c:\owb_home\owb\rtp\sqlplus_exec_template.sql;
Check the beginning of the sqlplus_exec_template.sql. It will show examples of the parameters it accepts and it has some documentation. It works nicely.

How to stop OWB Process Flow job

I have a problem.
For scheduling OWB Process Flows I use EM (create Job - SQL Script) in which I schedule jobs with script @/home/oracle/scripts/oem_exec_template.sql.
Sometimes it happens, that the job doesn't finish and I also can't expedite it through Workflow manager because it is not listed there. So next executions for this job doesn't fire, because it is still active (it is shown in EM as Running …..and also I can't stop it there).
I also can't find the session for this job and also in dictionary I can't find the job, I went through these views, but nowhere I can't find any of my scheduled jobs, and of course also not the ones that are still running.
DBA_SCHEDULER_JOBS
DBA_SCHEDULER_RUNNING_JOBS
DBA_SCHEDULER_JOB_RUN_DETAILS
Where in dictionary can I find my jobs?
How can I kill my running jobs?
OS: Red Hat Linux 3
DB: 10.1.0.3.0
OWB: 10.1.0.2.0
I'm quite desperate about this isue,
Thank you,
Gorazd

Gorazd,
the best way to identify problem with processflow execution - using OWB Runtime Audit Browser.
Other variant - using public OWB runtime view, for example for reporting executions of you process run this select under OWB repository owner or any OWB user:
select created_on,elapse_time,return_result from all_rt_audit_executions
where object_name='<your processflow name in uppercase>' order by created_on;
RETURN_RESULT must be equal 'OK' and ELAPSE_TIME (in seconds) greater then 0.
If this query returns rows with null RETURN_RESULT or RETURN_RESULT<>'OK' or with zero elapse_time and this cases match (by date) with EM problems then you need analyze process executions in more detail with Runtime Audit Browser.
Alternatively use select from view ALL_RT_AUDIT_EXEC_MESSAGES / ALL_RT_AUDIT_MAP_RUN_ERRORS / ALL_RT_AUDIT_PROC_RUN_ERRORS.

Oracle 10G Database Control and Scheduling OWB Process Flow

Does anyone know how to go about scheduling an OWB Process Flow from
Oracle 10G Data Base Control. I knew how to do this with Oracle Enterprise Manager 9.2 but we recently upgraded to Oracle Db 10G and the interface has changed significantly.
Now the interface seems to require a PL/SQL stored procedure to be executed.
Is there a template procedure that is installed with 10G Data Base Control as there was for 9.2 i.e. oem_exec_template.sql?
Thanks! Deadline approaching fast...
Marion

I've used the oem_exec_template.sql successfully with OWB 10.1 and Oracle 10G Database Control, with a little trial and error at first.
I'm assuming that your job execution environment is set up correctly, ie. that you can properly execute jobs via the host agent.
1. Log on to Database Control as SYSTEM, select Jobs from the links at the bottom of the page
2. In the Results section, Create Job, select "SQL Script" and press Go
3. In the General section, enter Job Name, and as SQL Script enter e.g.:
@/u01/app/oracle/owb_oracle_home/owb/rtp/sql/oem_exec_template.sql owb_runtime WF_LOC PROCESS MY_PROCESS , ,
4. In the Databases section, add your target database
5. In the Credentials section, I select "Override Preferred Credentials" and use the agent account (oracle on my Linux system) and db user owb_access (OWB Runtime Access user)
6. Review Schedule tab and submit
Comments on step 3:
- the oem_exec_template.sql script must be installed according to the path specified in step 3, on the database host where the OWB Runtime Repository is located
- owb_runtime is the owner of my OWB Runtime Repository
- WF_LOC is the name of my Workflow Location as seen in OWB Deployment Manager
- MY_PROCESS is the name of a deployed Workflow Process
- the commas indicate that I don't supply any system or custom parameters.
- step 3 is actually a shell command line that is interpreted by eg. /bin/sh on Unix or cmd on Windows, and must obey proper quoting rules. On windows, I had to specify the empty commas as "\," (including dblquotes)

How to call OWB Process Flow from APEX?

Hello.
I was wondering if there is a way that I can have a OWB process flow kick off from a button in APEX? I know you can have APEX perform PL/SQL upon being clicked, so I am wondering if there is a way that I can do the same for a process flow? We are looking to have a manual kick off for a job and we are trying to use APEX for this. Any information would be great!
Thank you

Hi,
Using SOAP ?if there is a way ... please provide some examples.
I finished my EDQ process, and now i am trying to find how to call it from APEX
My web service WSDL is
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Header/>
<soap:Body>

How to check SQL activity in OWB Process flow

Hi,
In OWB process flow,I need to check SQL activity. How to check that? I am using OWB 11g R2.
Regards,
Rashmik

Gowtham,
Well the following hint is provided by oracle warehouse builder help.........
The time-out setting for the workflow engine determines how long the File Exist activity waits for a file. If the file does not arrive before the time-out setting expires, the File Exists activity terminates with errors.
well someone with deep workflow knowledge can answer this one...
If you get the answer please share with us.....

How to execute SQL scripts using OWB Process flows ?

Hi,
I have some SQL Scripts. I have to execute them using OWB Process flows.
Can i get any document or link which helps me in achieving this?
Thanks in Advance,
SriGP

Sutirtha,
Thank you very much. I really appreciate all of your responses.
I have one more question ( Sorry for flooding you with lot of questions :) )
How to capture the errors which occured inside the SQL Scripts.
My scenario is like this. I have two sql scripts Script_1.sql and Script2.sql namely. I would like to put dependency on the execution of the scripts.
If Script_1.sql executes succesfully without any errors, then EXECUTE Script_2.sql
else if Script_1.sql execution contains errors then DON'T EXECUTE Script_2.sql
As of now, i observed that the Process flow shows Success State even if there is an error in the sql script execution. Because of which i was not able to put dependency on the execution of the scripts.
I think i can do it by tweaking(changing) the code inside the SQL Scripts, like logging the errors in some log table and reading it before the next script execution.
But the restriction is, I Should not touch/change the existing SQL Scripts.
Do we have any mechanism in the ProcessFlows to identify the SQL Errors that occurred during execution of SQL Scripts ?
Please suggest any idea on this. It will be great if you can help in this.
Thanks in advance,
SriGP.

(urgent)how to run the sqlldr script in owb process flow?

dear all:
In my oracle warehouse ,i have to load much *.dat file
into database with sqlldr in owb process flow. In owb process flow, I use the external process to run the sqlldr file with following configuration:
1:======external process==========
command : /app/ftpfile/sqlldr2.sh
parameter list:
success_threshold:0
script:
================================
2:create a file location in FILEãLOCATION node:
=============
ODS_LOCAL_LOC
=============
3: in the runtime repository i register the location
============
user name: oracle (for the sqlldr should run in oracle user)
password : oracle
host name: localhost
root path: /app/ftpfile/
============
4:configure the process flow
============
path settings
working locations:ods_local_loc
============
after deploy them success in runtime repository,
i run it ,it show me error following:
==========
SQL*Loader-704: Internal error: ulconnect: OCIServerAttach [0]
ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
===========
please help me!
with best regard!

Hello,
our developers were getting this error code just the other day. They are using "sqlplus_exec_template" script to initiate these things. In our case, I had to do two thing:
1) Modify their "initiator" script (the one that connects to runtime access user, and then calls "template") - it has to use tns connectivity "user/passwd@service_name"
2) Create TNS entry (server side) for the "service_name" above.
Now these SQL*LOADER mappings run successfully.

Sheduling OWB process flow.

Hi,
I am new to OWB. I created a process flow. And I am able to execute it using OWB. But now I want to shedule my process flow.
I am using oracle warehouse builder 10g R 1.
I am using work flow server 2.6.3
I am having oracle enterprize manager. But I don't know how to shedule jobs.
Thanks and regards
Gowtham sen.

From OEM you can use the following to schedule your process flow package.
1, Select the RUN SQL*PLUS Script
2, "owner" "Process_Flow_Location" "PROCESS" "PF_NAME" "," ","
3, Then import the OEM_EXEC_TEMPLATE.SQL
4, Check the Overide credential with the Username and Password
This step is working for me. Also if you get an Role error make sure the comment
the following lines in the OEM_EXEC_TEMPLATE.sql
REM alter session set current_schema = &REPOS_OWNER;
REM set role wb_r_&REPOS_OWNER, wb_u_&REPOS_OWNER;

Load .csv file data with OWb Process flow using Web

Hi,
I Have a file in my local machine( Machines on multiple user's), need to load data through Web user interface.
Let's say have a web page with multiple radio buttons respective to different sources, by clicking on each button will pass the path of .csv file to through Application, (API or Java programming interface) execute owb Process flow as a accepting file path as a input parameter to execute for loading purpose.
Should facilitate view data, Update data through web based on user requests.
Need your guidence how can i implement this with OWb 11g R2.
Assuming with Web browser functionality. Please confirm it and if yes, please throw some light how could be the steps to implement.
Thanks

Hi David,
Thanks for your reply.
Undersatnd your proposed solution.But my requirement should be as follows.
1. Currently under consideration using web page likely to be implement with Java, allowing users to load .csv file data into staging area.(Loading flat file into Data abse table)
Case 1, Assuming OWB software is not installed on user machine. I think no.
Is it possible through web page (this case Java page) to trigger java procedure/Pl/SQl procedure or integration of both to laod data into staging area.If yes, how it could effect performance of data load with 1 GB file.
Case 2, OWb client software installed on User machine, while runtime passing parameters means passing manually?
In case it is automated, how should i pass machine name & Path to owb runtime web browser.
Could you please show me guidence how should I acheive this functionality with APEX customization part?
Thanks agin for your support.

Please explain me how to run the process flow again from the 5th mapping( which got errored out in the previos run)....i.e I do not want to run the first 4 mappings in that process flow again, I want to run only the remaining mappings in the process flow.
Please let me know in case you need more information / explaination.
Thanks in advance...

Hi
On the question of process flows and resuming the following article gives some ideas, it has to be designed in the process flow basically;

How to specify the Process Flow Module with SQLPLUS_EXEC_TEMPLATE.SQL ?

Hi, we have a couple of process flow modules that have PF Packages and Process Flows with the same name.
E.g
PFMOD1 (Module)
FILELOAD (Package)
PF1 (Pf)
PFMOD2 (Module)
FILELOAD (Package)
PF1 (Pf)
Normally we can specify "FILELOAD/PF1" as a paramater to the procedure SQLPLUS_EXEC_TEMPLATE.SQL in order to initiate the running of an OWB process flow but how can the system distinguish between modules ?
Anyone done this ?
Thanks
Paul

If you deployed the packages to the same location then the second deployment replaced the result of the first one (actually a new version of the process flow was created). You can execute only the latest version...

Robert

OWB Process flow deployment into auto sys

Can some one tell us the steps to be followed for deploying the owb PROCESS FLOW into Auto sys.

Hi
There was some work a few years ago, but not sure it was ever productized. You can integrate with any 3rd party scheduler (in a course manner), see the post here;
