Process flow - How to deploy

I am new to OWB and have created lot of maps and running maps one by one manually to load data.
Now I want to automate it with process flow and workflow. I created a location for workflow and tested the connection.
I have created a small process flow . Now from control center when I select the process flow and click on start it says I have to deploy it before executing it. If I tell yes for deployemnt it says no objects for deployment (rtc-5170).
What is the procedure for executing a process flow.
any documentaion will help
thanks

Within the control center right click on your process flow, set action, create. Then deploy the process flow. Then run the process flow.

Executing Process Flow from OWB Deployment Manager results in RPE-01008

Hi,
I'm using OWB 10.1.0.1.0 (10g) and just installed Oracle Workflow Server 2.6.3.
I can build, validate and generate Process Flows just fine. But every time I try to execute a Process Flow using OWB Deployment Manager, I'm getting a "RPE-01008: Recovery of this request is in progress". Execution of deployed Process Flows using Oracle Workflow Interface works just fine.
Anyone has an idea?
Thanks and regards

Process Flow: how to install OWF for OWB?

Hi all,
I installed OWB 10.2 and I don't know how to install OWF, or better:
- I installed OWF 2.6.4 server from OWF CD
- I crated the OWF location
- I registered the OWF location
- I created a Process Flow but when I deploy it, it appears this error message:
ORA-01924: role 'OWB_O_OWBRT_OWNER' not granted or does not exist
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SESSION", line 132
ORA-06512: at line 1
How can I mange it?
Is not possible to install OWF from OWB Reposiroty Assistant?
Or what kind of grants does it need?
Regards
Steve

Steve,
You have to make the workflow manager schema as an OWB user.For that goto global explorer -->user-->right click on it select your workflow manager schema and click finish ...that should do the trick

OWB Process Flow - How is the best version control tool ??

HI all,
I just start work with OWB and I have a question to know how is the best way to do something.
Imagine the scenario below:
If I have 2 or more requests for example:
Request 1: Create a Dimension City.
Request 2: Create a Dimension Products.
I Have ONE process flow and i need put my changes inside. This is my problem.
In my scenario I don't know what Request goes to Prod First.
If I put the Request 1 and Request 2 in my PROCESS FLOW, maybe I need change is someone decide change MY REQUEST PRIORITY.
There is something in OWB to "control the version or changes" ?? For a mapping I export the MDL and commit on SVN, but I dont know haw can i do with the process flow.
Something to agree multiples peoples work in different mappings and a SAME PROCESS FLOW ??
What is best way to work with process flow and version control.
What are the best practices when it comes to version control?
Thanks.

Amit,
Are you really doing this in 10.1.3.x and not 11g?
At any rate, I don't see how #2 and #3 relate whatsoever to your choice of a version control system. OK, maybe in #2 if there is some "maintenance" activity to be done against the version control server. Subversion is the open source alternative that you listed there and is pretty commonly used. If your company is already using one of the mentioned tools, why change? About the only thing I'd mention is to advise you NOT to use CVS for well documented reasons (JDev does support it) - if you would have picked CVS otherwise, choose Subversion. As far as question #1 - I've only used Subversion (well, I did use CVS for a while) with JDeveloper, so I can say it was "effective enough for me." In 10.1.3.x, I also used the external svn tools for doing lots of things like merging and so forth; in 11g, the support is much much better.
Best,
John

OWB 11g Process Flow - How to see variables and how to create variables

Dear All,
I have recently migrated from 10g to 11g rel 2.
In 10g when I open a proces flow I can see all the parameters and variables I created on each activities on "Explorer" window. this allows me to craete new parameters and variables as well.
But ones after I migrated to 11g, I cant see explorer window and there is no place to enable it as well.
How Can I create variables, parameters in processes flow on 11g?
Thanks in advance.
Alex

Hi,
In 11g "Explorer" window renamed as "Stucture" and same details as 10g shows in Structure window. This window can enable and dissable (Show and Hide) using Menu => View=> Stuture option.
Thanks

Process flow errors while deploying

Hi all,
The following error occurs while deploying a simple process:
RPE-02085: Failed to test wb_rti_workflow_util.initialize through deployed Workflow Database Link
CF.US.ORACLE.COM@WB_LK_F_IMP_BB. Please check that "EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE" privilege is set and
that the OWB Runtime is available.
- ORA-04052: error occurred when looking up remote object
[email protected]@WB_LK_F_IMP_BB
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
OWF_MGR has been given execute any procedure grants. My opinion is that the database link has an error. This is how Oracle creates the DB link:
create database link CF.US.ORACLE.COM@WB_LK_F_IMP_BB connect to RUNTIME_OWNER identified by RUNTIME_OWNER using'
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=demo.SMS)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=CF)))';
When i create another DB link manually without the '.sms'-part in the HOST then the DB-link works fine. Where can i find the parameter that tells OWB to put .sms behind the hostname? I have tried numerous possibilities in sqlnet.ora, listener.ora and tnsnames.ora, but nothing seems to work. I have read the previous articles on this subject but havent found the solution.
Thankz in advance,
Eric

I am getting the same problem, The problem was caused by the domain suffix (.KC.RR.COM).
when I deploy a processflow package, owb creating bd_link with following description. Actually my host name is NG.
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=NG.KC.RR.COM)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=ORCL)))
How can I avoid creating domain suffix as part of db_link. Please let me know the steps you have taken to correct this.
Your help is greately appreciated.
Thanks,
Reddy

OWB Process flow, how to change created by in process properties?

Hy.
How can I change created by, and last updated by data in process properties (general tab)?
Where is the table with metadata in database?
How can I manually change created by data for process?
I have found WB_RT_WAREHOUSE_OBJECTS table in REP_OWNER shema but this is only data when process is deployed in database.
Thanks.

Scheduling Mapping or Process Flows- How to?

Hi
I am able to succesfully deploy and execute mappings & PFs using control center. Now i want to test the scheduling part. How should i a schedule a mapping to run at regular intervals of time.
Regards
Vibhuti

Hi I figured out a way to schedule my mapings as explained in the below link
Scheduled Map Error: ORA-20001: Internal error ...
but when i deploy my schduled job it gives mr the follwoing errors
ORA-01749: you may not GRANT/REVOKE privileges to/from yourself
RPE-02224: Internal Error: Cannot grant privilege EXECUTE on object SPRO_OWNER.WB_RTI_WORKFLOW_UTIL to user SPRO_OWNER.
What does it mean? Do i have to give any privileges on SPRO_OWNER.WB_RTI_WORKFLOW_UTIL pakage? If yes then what privileges do i have to give?
Please let me know.

OWB 1gr2 process flow - how to pass IN parameters to a procedure

Hi,
In OWB 10.1 processflow the IN parameters for the procedure in can be passed in the activity view which appears on selecting the procedure in the processflow. How to enter the IN parameters in case of OWB11gr2. In property Inspector no options are there. Any help is highly appriciated

Hi,
select the transformation activity. In the structure window, select the parameter. Then you can set the binding or the value in the property window.
Sometimes, the property window is not updated when the parameter is selected. Double click the window bar of the property window to maximize it.

Carsten.

Process flow Deployment for OEM

I try to define a process module with an OEM deployment location.
It is not possible to create a new one during the creation wizard.
I'm not able to allocate later on an existing OEM location.
How cum?
OWB 9.2.
Oracle 9i

Hi Igor,
Thnx for your response.
I did look already to viewlet but this is the way to schedule jobs to run mappings which are PL/SQL packages.
What i try to do is defining in the OWB tool a process flow and a deployment location for this process flow and there i can't choose to define a location of the OEM type.
I would expect that OWB generates specific code or package for this process flow that i can scheduled using OEM and the oem template.
I will check the things you mentioned maybe they are related but i would be surprised. I would not expect that OWB tool is so depended of the deployment environment.

Remove deployed process flows

Hi there,
When deploying a process flow, what happens exactly ? I know deploying a mapping creates a db-package, but i can't find anything in my database referring to the deployed process flow.
After deploying a number of process flows and renaming them a couple of times, I'd like to remove the previously deployed processflows.
How and where can I do that ?
Thanks in advance,
Job

Hello Job,
I'm not 100% sure, but I guess that OWB deploys process flows using a java method oracle.apps.fnd.wf.WFXLoad.
Deployed workflows can be queried using the view OWF_MGR.WF_RUNNABLE_PROCESSES_V
If you want to clean up using Deployment Manager you
1) create a process flow package TEST with a valid process flow TEST (connect start and end activities)
2) rename the process flow package TEST to the ITEM_TYPE name from the view above
3) Deploy using Deploy Action=Drop
4) repeat steps 2) - 3) for each package you want to drop
5) Delete the TEST package in the main OWB window
By the way, when you deploy with Action=Create, you get an additional version of your process flow and the previous is outdated. When you use Action=Replace, all previous versions are deleted and a new process is created with VERSION=1.
Regards, Hans Henrik

Process Flow developing/deploying/executing and scheduling through OEM

I have installed OWB92 and Oracle 9i, OEM configured, Oracle workflow 2.6.2 installed. I know OWB and scheduling mapping from OEM.
I have created two mappings and a process flow. I want to schedule process flow from OEM. After creation of process flow, while I deploy it ask for a user/password/port/sid/host. I want to know which user I need to enter here.
If anybody help me out in the this regard providing the detail steps.
Thanks in advance.

Pass output parameter from mapping to external process in a Process Flow

In Process flow, how do we pass an Output parameter from a mapping (generated by a post mapping operator) into an external process (shell script)?
I have a mapping that generates an output parameter and I would like to pass this parameter to an external process (a shell script) with a process flow. Is this possible?

Hi Norman,
Unfortunately in the current release, you cannot do this. What you can do, is store the value into a table and read it in the external process, or write it into a file and read it from there. The next release will support passing output parameters from one activity to the next.
Thanks,
Mark.

Complex condition in process flow transition

From a mapping i have three outgoing transitions:
1: "KM_UTIL_PKG"."GETTESTMODE"() = 0
2: "KM_UTIL_PKG"."GETTESTMODE"() = 1
3: unconditional
the process flow validates ok, deploys ok but when it is executed the error message is :
ORA-06550: line 1, column 1085: PLS-00201: identifier 'KM_UTIL_PKG.GETTESTMODE' must be declared ORA-06550: line 1, column 1058: PL/SQL: Statement ignored.
Although the function is there.
What am i doing wrong ?. Has anyone an example of the expected syntax in the transition condition editor > complex condition window ?
Ron

Try giving just = 0 and = 1 without the function call, as the function call is already appended in the where clause.
For example I was able to make it work by just giving IS NULL and IS NOT NULL.
Also there is VALIDATE button within the window where we give the complex condition. Try to validate the condition there itself.
Best,
Manohar
