I did not see any release dates on the versions mentioned in the Statement of Direction. Has anyone heard any guesses? 2007, 2008, 2009? Accuracy in the date isn't important, just an approximation would be pleasant.

  • Oracle Workflow - Statement of Direction and BPEL

    Hi,
    I am starting to study Oracle BPEL and other people at my company are studying Oracle Workflow.
    Recently I found the following article at the OTN, regarding the Statement of Direction of Oracle Workflow:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/workflow/workflow_sod.html
    It finishes saying:
    "As Oracle BPEL Process Manager provides out-of-the-box features for building human-based workflows, rules-based process automation, and integration style business processes, further development on OW4J will not continue and OW4J will not be released.
    Any new or existing customers who wish to build business processes in the middle tier are recommended to use Oracle BPEL Process Manager."
    So my question is: Does Oracle BPEL provides (or will provide) all the functionality implemented in Oracle Workflow ? If not what are the main differences ?
    I will be waiting for your thoughts
    Thanks,
    Claudio.

    Site mentioned above is an internal site. External site is http://otn.oracle.com/bpel
    I think the above highlighted SOD is about Oracle initiative to re-write current pl/sql based Workflow engine in Java so that it can ported to middle-tier. Since the acuisition of Collaxa they seems to be dumped that idea and positioning Oracle BPEL as the middle-tier process orchestration (BPM) solution.
    Having said that let me take a shot at comparing Oracle Workflow and BPEL products....
    Oracle Workflow
    * No way getting dropped as Oracle EBS has huge investments in it
    * Oracle Fusion Applications has plans to use the Oracle Workflow BES functionality extensively
    * Good for modeling business processes within a single DB/application instances. It's possible to integrate with external apps but not an elegant solution
    * Web Services can be a functional activity with in the work flow but again not an elegant solution. Requires DB java, queues and a listener
    * Doensn't provide sophisticated modeling artifacts like TaskManager, Faults, sensors etc out of the box. It's possible to build your own library.
    * Better performanent if the entire process interaction is within a single instance like Oracle EBS account generators, approval flows etc.
    * Based on proprietary technology
    Oracle BPEL
    * Based on standards like BPEL, WSDL and WSIF
    * What ever you can do in workflow can be done in BPEL but not the otherway round
    * Has adapters to interact with various transports like JDBC, AQ, JMS, JCA, HTTP. That means integration with existing workflows is very easy
    * Interation with Oracle AQs seem to be trivial as there is a native JCA based adapter for it
    * You may get performance hit because of the multiple connection points. You may be loosing performance but gaining in flexibility
    Overall Oracle BPEL seems to be the way to go if your business process involves multiple applications.

  • Comment regarding new statement of direction

    Hi all,
    I've just read the new statement of direction regarding Oracle Workflow (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/workflow/workflow_sod.html). Especially regarding the standalone version it is a great pitty that Oracle will kick such a good and stable product into the garbage can.
    I'm not convinced that BPEL can replace Oracle Workflow. Also I'm missing a real migration path. It's not only Workflow that needs to be re-implemented. For example our custom application would have be to re-implemented as well because Workflow is one of the central components.
    So if I read "In addition, Oracle are now recommending that customers who have Oracle Workflow workflows in development or production that they plan to continue to enhance in the future should begin re-implementing those in BPEL." or "While there will be some development costs associated with the migration of existing processes from Oracle Workflow to Oracle BPEL Process Manager..." this brings me to some critical thaughts about the future of our custom application.
    What are your thaughts and comments?
    Best regards
    Matthias

    They also removed the entry about charting (Charting - Provide for chart rendering without using Flash (to enable display on mobile devices).)... Guess this will be in the next release (4.2) or next MAJOR release (5.0??)..

    Hi,
    It depends on your format of cash flow. You have to obtain a cash flow format and work accordingly to include the relevant GL accounts. I have given a sample format.
    Operating Profit before Depreciation
    Add (Less): Decrease / (Increase) in Working Capital
    (Increase) / Decrease in Debtors
    (Increase) / Decrease in Inventory
    (Increase) / Decrease in Loans & Advances
    Increase / (Decrease) in Creditors & Provisions
    Less: (Capital Expenditure)

  • Designer dead - statement of direction

    Just stumbled across the document "Oracle Forms, Oracle Reports, Oracle Designer Statement of Direction."
    Didn't particularly like what I read:
    "....Oracle Designer will not include new features...."
    The way I read it, Oracle will seize further development of the generators (web plsql/forms/reports etc.)
    Designer will still be supported, but new features will not be introduced as from now.
    I hope I have read this wrong?

  • Statement of direction . . .

    Hi,
    I've read this Statement of Direction. I saw a couple of interesting remarks.
    But one of them confuses me a little bit:
    Note that htmldb.oracle.com is not an environment to deploy production applications.
    Can someone explain to me Why? (or not), some Arguments to write this ?
    Roel

    Hi me!
    Strange to reply to yourself.
    After reading the document two times more I understand that this remark does tell something about the trial site that Oracle deploys as a service to their customers.
    So, now I understand that HTML DB must be an environment to deploy production applications.
    And I really agree with that!
    Sorry I posted the first message

  • Is there any function that returns the latest DDL statement

    can anyone tell me if there is any FUNCTION that returns latest DDL statement performed in a schema.
    OR
    if there is any TABLE that will be populated with latest
    DDL statement in schema.
    THANK YOU.

    The table all_objects (and/or dba_objects) contains a column called last_ddl_time. Thus, a query like
    scott@jcave > SELECT max(last_ddl_time)
      2  FROM all_objects
      3 WHERE owner = 'SCOTT';
    MAX(LAST_DDL_TI
    28-NOV-03will tell you the last time any object owned by SCOTT had DDL issued against it.

  • Patchset 10.1.2.2 and latest Discoverer version

    Hi all, I have successfully installed Discoverer 10g 10.1.2.0.2 version from the ΟAS_Business_Intelligence_Pack_101202_(HP), but after a couple of days I discovered some bugs like the double '00' for totals and
    On Metalink I found the Note:399843.1 (Upgrading Discoverer 10g (10.1.2.0.x) to Patchset 10.1.2.2) to fix this and other problems.
    So...I have 3 questions:
    1) Which is the latest Discoverer version actually available ? is the 10.1.2.2 ?
    2) with this Patchset, can I upgrade Discoverer 10g to the latest version ?
    3) Instead of installing this patchset, does exist a "business intelligence pack" from the latest Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.x) in order to install the latest Discoverer version ?
    Thanks you all
    Alex

    Hi,
    We had the same issue (discoverer displaying '00' instead of '0') along with couple more issues. We fixed them as below.
    1. Install iAS patch 10.1.2.2 (Disco 10.1.2.54.25) on a development or test server.
    This patch is on Metalink and does not require a password.
    Patch 4960210 Oracle Application Server Products Family: Patchset
    PLACEHOLDER BUG FOR AS/DS 10G R2 PATCH SET 2 10.1.2.2
    2. Open a Service Request (SR) with Oracle Support to request the password for Discoverer Cumulative Patch III:
    Patch 6155500, CUMULATIVE PATCH III: MLR ON TOP OF 10.1.2.2 FOR MLR 6129303 + NEW BUG FIXES
    3. Install patches as described in the patch readme.txt files.
    4. Retest Viewer and workbook identifier to ensure errors no longer occur and workbook identifier is unchanged.
    5. Promote patches to your production environment once bug fix is confirmed.
    Hope this Helps!

  • Oracle 9 - find most cpu consuming SQL + latest executed statement by user

    Hi,
    1. Can someone tell me how to find most CPU consuming SQL statement?
    (Is this CPU_TIME in v$sql and v$sqlarea? if so is it in miliseconds?)
    2. How can I find latest executed statement by a user and latest executed statement on the database (no mater what user)?
    Thank you in advance.
    Gr,
    Ad

    hi,
    SELECT CPU,Total_Rows,sql_text FROM(
    SELECT (s.cpu_time/1000000) CPU, sa.rows_processed Total_Rows, SUBSTR(sa.sql_text,1,50) sql_text
    FROM v$sqlarea sa, v$sql s
    WHERE sa.parsing_user_id =
    (SELECT user_id FROM dba_users WHERE username='USER'
    AND s.sql_text = sa.sql_text)
    ORDER BY s.cpu_time DESC)
    WHERE ROWNUM <= 10
    Or else you can generate awr/statspack report and check the sqls which are order by more cpu_time.
    2. How can I find latest executed statement by a user select a.username,a.logon_time,b.SQL_FULLTEXT from v$session a,v$sqlarea b where
    a.sql_id=b.sql_id
    and a.username='USER'
    order by a.logon_time desc
    latest executed statement on the database select a.username,a.logon_time,b.SQL_FULLTEXT from v$session a,v$sqlarea b where
    a.sql_id=b.sql_id
    order by a.logon_time desc

  • Generate discoverer viewer output directly to excel

    It looks like they changed the URL parameters, but it should still work. The key parameters are:

    View the source on the export page and get the correct export type for xls and you should be able to export your excel.

  • Want 2 generate customer statement print directly from F.27

    Hi All,
    I want to attach the ZFORM we have created for customer statement to F.27. Currently we generate a spool from F.27 and release it from SP01.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    OK sorry, I did not understand your original point.
    What you are really saying is you want to automate the printing process for statements.
    You need to make sure you select print immediately in F.27.

  • Oracle Service Bus (OSB), Eclipse --- and statement of direction

    Can somebody please explain what this means in: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/integration/service-bus/docs/Oracle-Service-Bus-SOD.pdf
    +...The web-based console was complemented in the 3.0 release with full IDE support in Eclipse. The Eclipse capabilities will be ported to Oracle JDeveloper to provide a one-stop IDE for all SOA design needs. Until that port is complete, customers will still be able to use the Eclipse environment as IDE (in addition to the web-based console)...+
    More specifically: what will happen to the Eclipse OSB plugin/workshop once the JDeveloper port is complete?
    A) will it cease to exist and/or be terminated?
    B) will it remain as is, without keeping the functionality in synch with new stuff in JDev?
    C) will it continue to evolve side-by-side with JDev?
    Thx,
    -J.

    I think it is clear that Oracle will remain commited to Eclipse in terms of deploying java applications to WebLogic, they will provide some plugins for some time to come. You will however see oracle specific products, such as OSB, Portal, etc removed from Eclipse and ported to JDev. The reason for this is that Oracle can release new releases within their timeframe. If Oracle rely on Eclipse to deliver some functionality before they can release new products then they will be doing their customers a disservice.
    This statement in the SOD clearly states that JDev is the strategic platform and the Eclipse IP will be ported to JDev in the future:
    Design-Time Environment
    JDeveloper is the IDE of choice for SOA development at Oracle. AquaLogic Service Bus users have traditionally been using the web-based console to design, manage and monitor ESB flows. The web console is a key differentiator for ALSB (now Oracle Service Bus) and will therefore remain a primary design
    environment moving forward.
    The web-based console was complemented in the 3.0 release with full IDE support in Eclipse. The Eclipse capabilities will be ported to Oracle JDeveloper to provide a
    one-stop IDE for all SOA design needs. Until that port is complete, customers will still be able to use the Eclipse environment as IDE (in addition to the web-based
    console).
    cheers
