About Process Flows

Hi all,
Is it possible to call a procedure on a package through a process flow module?
thkx

thkx for the reply
I'm talking about a procedure on a package.
Is it possible to call on a PF?
exec package_name.procedure;
or
package_name.procedure
If yes, can you tell me how, please?

Oracle Warehouse Builder Question about Process Flow

Oracle 11.1.0.7:
We currently have various mappings and what we want is in process flow to fork and merge back and only if all those mappings are successfully completed then go further in the process flow. I see that it allows fork for parallel processing but there is no merge. So how do I merge them all back and go to the next step in process flow. Next step of process flow is dependent on successful completion of all the previous mappings. And we want all the previous mappings to be executed in parallel for performance reasons.

Could someone help answer my question?

Transformation activities in owb process flow

could someone tell me please about process flow in owb ( oracle warehouse builder) 10.2 . how we can associate a procedure name with transformation.
thanks

Process Flow in OWB

I understand that in OWB 9.0.4, available in Feb 2003, process flow diagrams can be drawn within the OWB design UI elegantly.
Does this also mean that we can schedule jobs to run from within OWB 9.0.4 instead of using another scheduling tool (e.g. OEM, Workflow etc.)?
Cheers,
Chris

Another question about process flow in 9.0.4:
Will there be better support for distributed environments? What I am looking for is the ability to at some stage in a Workflow start a second Workflow which has a different target (different runtime environment on a different server)

Process Flow - basic question

Hi
I have a very basic question about Process Flows, that will help me decide to go for process flows or custom scheduling.
I create a process flow with complex dependencies, say MapA, mapB mapC start parallely and map1 starts as soon as mapA and mapB finish, and map2 starts when all mapA, mapB and mapC finish. When both map1 and map2 finish the pflow ends. The question is
1> Is it correct to use AND activity to define combined dependencies?
2> What happens when any two mappings are running parallely and one returns in failure? Will the whole process flow finish immediately? or, the other ones will keep running? Am asking this because I would be sending the failure transition to End Error, and as per my understanding, as soon as one pflow finishes with error, the transition will take the flow to End Error and other running will be aborted in between itself.
Please correct me if am wrong
Thanks in advance
Goga

Hi,
I think the others will remain running and will complete (e.g. they will not be aborted). However the logical AND will stop the process flow (it is stopped in a result of error). Since one transition never got to the AND the others will not continue.
You may want to use some other activities to verify what is going on. You may have all mappings always go to AND, then based on what the error is (you can get that from the runtime) decide whether to abort, or to just ignore the error and run the others.

To check whether a process flow is valid or not

Hi,
I want to check whether a OWB process flow is valid or not inside a PL/SQL block. Can anyone let me know about any repository table or view where I can check the process flow status.
Regards,
Poulose

Use display schedule job option from the context menu of the start variant of the process chain.
When u chick this.. u will get the available job on this start process.. There u can see whether the process chain in schedule mode or not?
If u can see multiple schedule then u can delete the older ones which are not needed and then u can maintain only one schedule job.
If u click twice.. then there are chances that u might end up with the 2 schedule job with the same time frame.. .. so check the same with the steps mentioned..... if u find two jobs then u need to delete one.. if not there might be chance that ur PC might get trigger twice.. and one trigger will gets failed. and the other one will gets executed..
Thanks
I hope this is clear to u..
Assign points if this helps

Error while creating Process flows in OWB 11gR2

Hi
I have never faced this before and thats why it baffles me. I am trying to create a new process flow module which has already been configured to the OWF_LOCATION(Oracle workflow location).
I get Java exception error window with long list of details which are rocket science to me.
I will paste few lines of the details as its a big trace

Hi David
I tried registering the location again before de-registering it. OWB comes up with an RTC error
RTC-5229: Location <Location Name> could not be unregistered.
Any hints?

Data Type for Process Flow... PB with Date?

I've got a problem by passing parameters in process flow.
I have a mapping with a parameter DATE_EXEC (data type : DATE) and a default value that is TO_DATE('20/01/2007' , 'dd/mm/yyyy') . My mapping is working good when i launch it.
I have a process flow which contains the mapping. This process has a parameter DATE_EXEC (data type : DATE). I bind the 2 DATE_EXEC. But when i launch my mapping the value is not recognized, I try with :
- TO_DATE('20/01/2007' , 'dd/mm/yyyy')
- 20/01/2007
- 2007.01.20
- 2007-01-20
My question is what are the data type in process flow? They are not ORACLE TYPE.
For example , a parameter in a mapping which is a VARCHAR2 must be input between quotes but if you bind it to a parameter of a process flow which is a STRING (not ORACLE Data type) , you must input it without quotes?
Anybody has some rules about that?
I apologize for my english, i'm a french people.

Here is some information on the literal quote or not quote query and what I think you need to do at the end, hope it helps. Not exactly intuitive...since the flow designer (you) have to know what is a PLSQL object and what is not.
1. Literal = FALSE
When Literal = FALSE is set then the value entered must be a valid PL/SQL expression which is evaluated at the Control Center e.g.
'Hello World!'
22 / 7
2. Literal = TRUE
When Literal = TRUE then the value is dependent on the the type of Activity. If the activity is a PL/SQL object i.e. Mapping or Transformation, then the value is PL/SQL snippet. The critical difference here is that the value is macro substituted into the call for the object. The format of the value is identical to that entered as default value in the Mapping editor. e.g.
'Hello World!'
sysdate()
If the activity type is not a PL/SQL object then the value is language independent. e.g.
Hello World
3.1427571
What you should try......
Check the map activity parameter in your process flow to see if literal is false (an expression), set it to false and then try using your TO_DATE('20/01/2007' , 'dd/mm/yyyy') expression, deploy your flow and execute. Alternatively the user guide defines the DATE type for flow with the format YYYY-MM-DD so you can have the parameter value as '2007-01-20' use literal equal to true and remember and quote your value.
Cheers
David

Process flows without Oracle Workflow?

I am using OWB 10.2, running with a 10.2 database. I want to create a new workflow module, package, and flow, and execute it the process flow using the OWB scheduler. The documentation implies that this configuration is possible, but when I create the workflow module it wants an Oracle Workflow connection for the location. I get the feeling that I'm overlooking something basic in the documentation.
QUESTION:
1) Is Oracle Workflow REQUIRED to create, deploy, and execute a process flow?

Hi,
Oracle Workflow is required for deploying processflow.
Where did you read in documentation about possibilities of running processflows without OWF? OWB instalation guide tells:
"If you plan to use Warehouse Builder process flows, you need to install Oracle Workflow to enable deployment."
Regards,
Oleg

Process flows are not running in OWB

I have a process flow which has a main process and this main process calls 3 subprocesses and 1 externel process. This workflow was running fine and it suddenly stopped working and when I try to run it from WF monitor it is giving the following error.
Activity CALWINDW_INC_LOAD_PF_WE
Result Exception
Error Name -20001
Error Message ORA-20001: Task CALWINDW_INC_DELETE_PF does not exist. Please check that the ProcessFlow has been deployed successfully. ORA-01403: no data found
Error Stack Wf_Engine_Util.Function_Call(WB_RT_WORKFLOW_UTIL.EXECUTE_TASK, CLWNPKG, 200509200915, 37461, RUN).
I tried running it from OWB deployment manager but it didn't work.
I have checked all the process flows and the mappings all are deployed and all the mappings are running sepreatly. I tried dropping and deploying the process flow again and it deployed successfully without any error. We have tried rebooting the server, creating new PF location and new process flows, but nothing worked out. Becuase of this issue we can't run the whole process. Any help will be appriciated please.

May be your chain was in the wait at the scheduled time, as there were no adequate processes available at the app server to take up your job.
Check with your Basis ( and also your users ); about the optimal time to schedule the job and reschedule your jobs.

WFT to OWB Process Flow migration

We have a workflow process defined with Oracle Workflow Builder 2.6. We keep workflow in a wft file and deploy it to Oracle 9 and 10 databases with wfload utility.
The process basically calls some OWB mappings and stored procedures.
Now we want to migrate to 11G.
Is there any way to upgrade it to Process Flow in Oracle Warehouse Builder ?
Do we need a seprate license to run the Process Flow in Oracle 11G using Worklfow Engine ?
Thanks

Oleg2 wrote:
No, you don't need sepparate license for Oracle Workflow on 11g database.
Workflow already installed with 11g - look at ORACLE_HOME\owb\wf
OK, thanks, I was able to install workflow from the folder above, I was not sure about licensing.
Is there any way to upgrade it to Process Flow in Oracle Warehouse Builder ?It depends on how will you migrate to 11g database, including workflow/OWB migration.
What OWB release did you use for mapping design ?
I already migrated the mappings from OWB 2.6 to newest OWB using metadata export/import.
But the workflow process was maintained in Oracle Workflow Builder 2.6, is there any automated migration from Workflow to Process Flow in new OWB.
and what whas the reason for avoiding deployment processflow via OWB?
I do not know the reason, I was not involved in the project from the beginning. Probably because it was easy to call wfload from bat/sh script in installation script.
Regards,
Thanks

Process flow?????

helo ,
   Im new to Financial area..and currently im learning finance...
   I have got some theoretical knowledge about financial accounting.
   so Im in need of the process flow of finance.
   I also want the flow with some Practical scenario or Examples..
   were can i find dis document???
   Hope 2 get some tips..
     Thanking you.
Regards,
Pravi.

You need to set up a process flow with your mappings defined as activities, and then configure the transitions between them to depend on success/fail.
What you are asking is the most basic of things you can do with process flows, so might I suggest reading the manual?

Process flow with configuration for online payment of vendors

Dear friends,
I need the process flow with configuration for online payment to vendors through rtgs or neft.
Please help me in this regard. One of my client wants to implement online payment process instead of cheque payment.
thanks and regards
satya

1) Payments are initiated at the corporate SAP System using APP and converted into IDOC
Could you please tell me the steps in converting the app into idoc.
There are standard Idoc used for the same , for APP it would be PAYEXT, You need to use this Idoc type.
You define the EDI payment method and assign the program in FBZP (RFFOEDI1)which would created payment medium.
i believe in the app we will create the proposal and run the payment run, after payment proposal created what are the config steps involved in createing the payment run. for example for checque payment we will maintian variant for cheque printing.
The payment run config is done in FBZP, which would include definf check PM and assigning house bank sub gl etc.
2) PI at Client End receives the input through IDOC for the payments
Pl means? and how the client will recieve this idoc what is the set up has to be made?
PI(Process Integration) middleware which will send bank files from sap to bank and vice versa.
3) Bank PI receives the payment and converts the same RTGS/NEFT format
4) Payment Data is received at the Bank RTGS/ NEFT server for further processing
how the payment data will be recieved by bank what is the process?
This is again via PI or any thoird party tool which will send bank files to sap as Idoc, The idoc message type is FINSTA.
or this in SAP you will have to configure the following:
*House bank with partner profile
*Outbound parameters                      what is meant by outbound paramenters and how to create and where to maintian
*Inbound parameters                          what is meant by inbound paramenters and how to create and where to maintian
The outbound and Inbounmd idoc's are the one which we send(PAYEXT) and rec from bank(FINSTA). you create partner profile in WE20 and create partner profile once you create you assign outbound and inbound message types in there.
*EDI Compatible payment methods        how to know about the compaitable payment methods
Please goto house bank FI12 and you will see this in there, assign the PM used.
*APP config                                        i know the app config for cheque payment, for this scenairo any additional settings?
It would be pretty much same, you will have to define the PM used and Payment medium and remaining configuration in FBZP.
*Bank details in Vendor :
You will have to maintain the bank details of the vendor in vendor master.

Sale process flow of SBO E-Commerce - What documents are created in SAP B1?

Dear All,
Can any one please confirm the sale process flow of SBO E-Commerce, when a customer submits an Sales Order and pays the amount online?
I am mainly interested to know about the documents, which are created in SAP B1 after the said Payment against the Order through the Web tools?

As I understand it, out of the box WebTools simply creates a B1 Sales Order from a WebTools order during the scheduled synchronization.
If you are accepting credit card payments and have configured a credit card gateway (Paypal, Skipjack, etc), then you can choose to authorise the payment only for capture later or capture the payment immediately at the time of order. Neither of these events creates any document in SAP B1. You process the order as normal and post a payment manually as part of your workflow.
If you have a credit card add-on (CitiXSys or similar) installed and specified in the WebTools Synch Manager, the normal SAP B1 processing of the Sales Order (creating a delivery document) will trigger the capture of a previously authorised credit card payment, creating and posting an A/R invoice and an associated payment document in B1.
Hope this helps you in your question.
Cheers,
Dave Bragg

Handling Unit Managment Process flow

Hi all,
I am implementing Handling Unit Management currently. I am looking for; how does the business process flow change once HUM is activated.
So far, I got an idea:
GR process:
Purchase Order -> Goods Receipt (MIGO) -> ASN(Inbound Delivery) -> Pack & Create Handling Unit -> Post Goods Receipt(via the Inbound Delivery)
GI process:
Sales Order -> Outbound Delivery ->Pick & Pack(Handling Unit) -> Goods Issue
Please let me know if i am correct in my assumption.
Also, I would like to know how the stock is transferred from the stock stored in HU's in the warehouse to the stock which is to be delivered.
For example :
I store a material X in HU's in multiples of 500. I have to deliver to a customer around 100 pieces of X.
How do I go about unpacking the HU of 500, then creating 2 HU's (one with 400 pieces to be stored back in the warehouse, and the other HU of 100 pieces for the customer.)
Is it possible to do so ?
Or I need to create a separate storage location where I have to keep the partial unpacked 400 pieces ?
Anyone's help will be appreciated in this matter.
Thanks,
Shefali
