ADF forms based on BPM human tasks - Invoking webservices/view objects.

Hi All,
Is anyone aware of whether the following is a valid implementation that has been carried out before.
1. ADF forms based on BPM 11G human tasks.
2.The ADF forms invoke webservices via Webservice data controls. It is pertinent to note that the webservice bring back complex data types. We've tried writing a few forms, resulting in data benig brought back, but not being able to print them to the screen.
3. The ADF forms also use View Object based on sql to bring back tables of data. If view objects are embedded within the forms, the applciation gives rise to a null pointer exception.
Considering the form will be invoked via a BPM worklist entry, is there a setting or configuration we should consider before hand. Is this feasible, is there knowledge of this being done commercially.
Any examples or information regarding the same will be immensely helpful.
Thanks and Regards,
Preethi.
NB : I have posted this in the BPM forum as well as I feel it is relevant to both BPM and ADF.

Hi Joonas.
Plese let me explain me better for your understanding
A big summary for what I meant it's the following:
1- In the procces you made, when you add the HT activity, you have to implement it, this means declare the input(s) parameters you want. This implementation create the .task file.
2- Create an application, and projects as HT you have. Each poject are based on the .task file, and automatically create a Data Control (for each project based on a .task) with all you need.
This w'll be an empty application, so you can customize it all you want. The task selected should have all the parameters previously defined. Those parameters can change if you want.
2- Create a page(s) in the task flow for the task implementation. You can even split the the payload of the task in differents pages, create your custom pages and any logic you need.
3- An important aspect is how to match these application with the HT implemented in the process. It's possible, it's a configuration en the Enterprise Manager.
4- Deploy your application
All these are explain in the book I mentioned
Th book you can find it here:

How to set all required components false in ADF form based on human task?

Hi All,
I'm looking to implement an ADF form based on a human task. There are 2 outputs, Validate and Reject.
On clicking Validate, my form does as expected, evaluates everything that is mandatory and expects these inputs in order to proceed.
However, on reject, my form should overlook anything that's marked as mandatory. How do I go about making the "required" aspects of my form false so that no entries are required in order for me to reject the form.
JDev - 11g.
Any inputs will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Preethi.

Thank you Timo.
This doesn't seem to bypass any of the mandatory components . It still prompts for an entry for those fields. do I need to change the partial submit or any other property?

Creation an ADF Task Flow Based on a Human Task

Hello!
While creating ADF Task Flow Based on a Human Task, I can't bind New TaskFlow to task, which I choose in Dialog.
Details:
I Have:
BPM Project with PackageCreation.task
ADF Project in Same Application
I do:
1. in Application Navigator right click on ADF Project -> New -> Web Tier -> JSF -> ADF Task Flow Based on a Human Task
in creation Dialog I choose PackageCreation.task and Don't change name of New TaskFlow (automatically JDeveloper set this name to PackageCreation_TaskFlow)
I have After that:
new ADF Task Flow and my old PackageCreation.task.
Question:
Why my Task don't bind to created ADF task Flow based on it?
I think, that while creating ADF Task Flow Based on a Human Task it has to change my task, writing some thing like This (inside xml):
<taskFlowFileLocation>file:/D:/JDeveloper/mywork/SalesQuoteLab/EnterQuoteUILab/public_html/WEB-INF/EnterQuoteDetails_TaskFlow.xml</taskFlowFileLocation>
That xml element is creating in xml of *.task, while making auto-generation form for human task in BPM Project.

Juan C,
I use JDeveloper 11g Release 1.
May be I didn't explained my question correctly.
taskdetails1 is creating, and in Data Controls I have objects of my BPM Human Task Payload.
But in that file "PackageCreation.task" in source I can't find any link to instantly created TaskFlow.xml in my UI project.
So, I have
NEW project "PackageCreationUI" with PackageCreation_TaskFlow.xml in it (and TaskDetails1 file too).
AND Did't Changed PackageCreation.task in BPM Project.
If I use *"BPM form creation wizard"*, after creating project and TaskFlow in it I see Changes in PackageCreation.task in BPM Project, something like that:
<taskFlowFileLocation>file:/C:/JDeveloper/mywork/testApp/PackageCreationUI/public_html/WEB-INF/PackageCreation_TaskFlow.xml</taskFlowFileLocation>

Hi Frank,
Just wanted to know if someone has already tried a usecase similar to this as it also involves ADF DI. :)

JAVA API of Oracle BPEL, to access the "Task Form"(JSP) of a human task.

Hi,
Are there any JAVA API of Oracle BPEL, to access the "Task Form"(JSP) of a human task, to render the task form inside the custom worklist application.
Thanks,
Naga

I guess you mean accessing the task details and the payload from the java API.
Refer the below blog it will provide you the details

Create reusable BPM Human Task Form across Projects

Hi,
I have a challange in my project. I have a BPM application with many BPM process inside, and each BPM process has its own human tasks. Is easy for each HT create a form in a jspx file, for that an independent project is created.
The challange is: most of the HT payload is just informative, and it is wanted to be shown in most of the HT across the application so, what do you suggest me to do, in order to avoid reorganize a form every time I create it with "Autogenerate Form" or "Launch Create Form Wizard" options in the HT?. With reorganize a form I mean: put this label here, change this to read-only, change the layout, etc...
Thank you!
AAPDL

Hi,
its best to post this question to the SOA forum. The answer on this forum would be to use a page template, a parametrized bounded task flow and then add the bounded task flow to each page that has the template. However, the task flow in the HT case is generated, which means that you re-build it all the time (meaning you don't work with the same task flow but multiple). If you know how to just use the HT API to access the information to display, you could write a generic bounded task flow for this. Check on the SOA forum if they can come up with a template approach for your use case.

User property from realm in ADF form or in BPM variables

I want use the user property of realm to set BPM variable (for example set variable name with the corrisponding user property of the realm)
or ADF component (for example insert e-mail in af:inputText)
Someone can tell me where there is specific documentation.
Thanks
Elena

Well, I explain you
I have a BPM process, I set all roles of process with users of the realm.
In the process, when the document changed the state, I must send the message ( via my web service) at the user of the role. I want set the e-mail of the user automaticaly, read this information of the user properties in the realm.
In the process I have some human tasks and I have some forms. In this forms I want set automaticaly some components: "Creator" with the name of user that is using the form, "user of role" a selectOneChoese with the users of role, "e-Mail" the address e-mail of the user stored in the user properties of realm, and so on.
I want to take this information from the user properties stored in the realm
Thanks Elena

Advance Rules for routing in Oracle BPM Human Task

Hi,
I am working on SOA 11.1.1.5.0. I have created a sample SOA application with a Human Task.
following are the Assignment details for my Human Task.
1. Created a stage1
2. Created a participant with following details
Type = Single
Build a list of participant using : ApproverGroup
Specify attribute using : Rule-Based
List Ruleset : SampleRuleset
I have created some Advance Rules for routing as specified at http://www.orastudy.com/oradoc/selfstu/fusion/integration.1111/e10224/bp_hwfmodel.htm#BABGJGBD .Routing is perfectly working in my application.
But when I login into WorklitApplication via weblogic user and accessed Administration link, under Task Configuration > Data Driven tab these Routing Rules are not appearing, however I can see this SampleRuleset there.
I want to know whether these Routing Rules will be appeared in the WorklistApplication or not?
regards,

Hi,
Concerning your first question the answer is yes, you can share the same UI with various Human Tasks. Assuming that your discriminator flag is the human task type, then you can create for example a taskflow parameter, pass this value and based on this value hide and show fields. You will have to bundle your UI project as an ADF shared library and attach it to each Human Task project that you would like to use it, drag and dropping the taskflow as a region (please have in mind that your taskflow pages definition should be set to fragments).
For you second question, again the answer is yes. This is an out-of-the-box functionality provided by the auto-generated human task. There is a section called history that holds and displays all this information.
For the third point, again the answer is yes. What you can do is that you can enable the OnTaskCompleted event so that whenever a participant complete their task to generate an event. Then you can have a mediator or a BPEL process that can subscribe to this event and process the notification.
For question 4 i don't think that is possible (out of the box). You will have to write like a proxy service that will fetch this additional information from your LDAP server and map it to your participants list.
Question 5, the organizational chart allows you to define the structure and hierarchy of your organization (users, groups, application roles) which can be used in your business processes to define your various approval types.
For you last question, the shared flag is used for to define whether your logical roles (also called application roles) should be specific to a process or can be shared across processes.

Thanks in advance,
Any Help would be Highly appreciated.

WD-ABAP as BPM human task

Hi Experts,
Has anyone used Webdynpro-ABAP as a human task in BPM activity?
could anyone please explain the detailed steps for the same?
Any tutorial or related documents would be of great help.
Thanks,
Ramanath.

Hi Ramanath,
I´m not aware of a tutorial. However, there is official documentation available on help.sap.com:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/en/9d/f22b87282e4abd8f156192bba26be0/content.htm
In principle, you have to create a CHIP in the ABAP backend first for your UI. Once this has been done, you can import this into Process Composer and make use of it as part of a Task resp. Human Activity.
Best regards,
Stefan
P.S: Be aware that WD-ABAP integration is a feature that is only available in 7.30.

How to assign hierachical groups from OID, in bpm human task.

Hi,
We have a group in OID like
"cn=MED,cn=Reviewer,cn=NSTIP,cn=STU,cn=KSU,cn=groups,dc=kacst,dc=edu,dc=sa"
and I am tring to assign the group to a human activity using the assignment tab of the human task.
I am using the lookupGroup function under Identiy Service Functions as below
ids:lookupGroup('cn=MED,cn=Reviewer,cn=NSTIP,cn=STU,cn=KSU,cn=groups,dc=kacst,dc=edu,dc=sa')
The human task is not able to assign the user under the group MED present in myrealm and OID.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Tuku

Hi Dear,
Thanks for your reply.
what you have suggested to use like ids:lookupGroup('MED') ,this is working fine and I had already tested it before, from jdev and aslo from bpm workspace administration link. But here our problem is we are having more then one 'MED' group with different hierachy . so using directly ids:lookupGroup('MED') will be a problem because we dont know which
'MED'group it will be assigned.
Another problem is ,when I am going to search from myrealm (jazn.com) it showing me 3 MED groups (that is present currently in our OID with different hierachy) but not the hierachy, so its also difficult to find out which MED group belongs to which hierachy.
If we can find a solution to ids:lookupGroup('cn=MED,cn=Reviewer,cn=NSTIP,cn=STU,cn=KSU,cn=groups,dc=kacst,dc=edu,dc=sa') then there wont be any confution to assign the actual group.
Regarding your question "Do you get like any error or is it that Task just can't get assigned. Have you tried assiging directly like from EM to make sure that Group and user in this group is all fine."
I am not getting eny error message its just can't get assigned and goes to the end of the bpm process cathing the happy path.
tested the groups using the url http://soahost:soaport/integration/services/IdentityService/identity here is the result.
1 ) For group MED
Result :
<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><env:Header/><env:Body><groupObject xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/bpel/services/IdentityService"><name>MED</name><realmName>jazn.com</realmName><displayName>AGR Tech Grp</displayName><description>Weblogic Admin Group</description><guid>080E537A820740B894307B6A7F97C884</guid><uniqueName>cn=MED,cn=groups,dc=kacst,dc=edu,dc=sa</uniqueName><identitType>group</identitType></groupObject></env:Body></env:Envelope>
we have already 3 MED groups but it gave the result cn=MED,cn=groups,dc=kacst,dc=edu,dc=sa.
2)For 'cn=MED,cn=Reviewer,cn=NSTIP,cn=STU,cn=KSU,cn=groups,dc=kacst,dc=edu,dc=sa'
Result :
<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><env:Header/><env:Body><env:Fault><faultcode>env:env:Receiver</faultcode><faultstring/><faultactor/><detail><identityNotFoundError xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/bpel/services/IdentityService"><faultInfo xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/bpel/services/IdentityService">No Role found matching the criteria</faultInfo></identityNotFoundError></detail></env:Fault></env:Body></env:Envelope>

SOA/BPM/Human Tasks 11g -- add new task participant through Workflow API

Heya folks. Got a question that's been driving me nuts, hope you can help.
I have a bunch of Human Tasks in a BPMN process. Each task is pretty simple -- for assignment a single stage only; parallel approval; list of participants is passed in -- via the task payload -- as a comma-delimited list. When the task is initiated it produces a root task, and one child task for each participant. So, say we have participants "fgolfer,atreyvaud" we get three task objects: the "master" or root task and one each for fgolfer and atreyvaud.
Now what I want to do is add another approver (let's say "gfrog") -- i.e. create a new task for gfrog which is a child of the master task and leaves the tasks for fgolfer and atreyvaud as they are. As far as I can figure, this is NOT a Reassign nor an Ad-Hoc Route. Applying either of those to an existing task effectively removes the existing user from the task and assigns it to the new user.
On another track, if I programmatically create a new task (with initiateTask() from the Task service, using the values from an existing task), I seem to get a NEW master task with attendant child tasks, while leaving the existing master task and children.
Make sense? Neither of these outcomes is what I want.
Seems like this should be pretty simple but for the life of me I can't figure it out. I could create an FYI task or a todo task or a subtask but again this isn't what I want -- need to create a task with all the custom outcomes and such.

In case folks are playing along at home, I've yet to find a solution for this. Because I need to move forward with my project, I've decided I can't do it through the Workflow API and I'm taking a different route -- basically, triggering a custom task outcome which returns to the same Human Task in the BPMN flow, thus starting the task again. Before doing that I update the task's payload, which contains the task assignees.
I'm not happy with this, it seems like a nasty hack to overcome a limitation with the Workflow API.
Understand, though, I'm not saying this is impossible through the Workflow API, just that I haven't found a way to do it. I've spent 2-3 person weeks on this and it's time to move on.

BPM human task actionable user notification email not working

Hi ,
I am triing to send actionable email notification to assignees through the notification tab of the human task. The email settings in the em console has done fine so that I am getting the notification email without any fail.
But the problem over here is the actionable buttons / links (Like Approve or Reject ) are not there inside the email body.
I have checked the make notification actionable check box in jdev human task as well as configured the actionable email address in the server em console.Still the email body is not having the action items.
email body is here
Task Notification PendingUser Notification requires your attention.
Access this task in the Workspace Application
<PendingUser Notification > above is the task title.
Please suggest
many many thanks
Tuku

Hi All,
I got the solution for it. Now the assignee is able to get the actionable email.
the mistake i did is during the human task notification tab configuration I have put separate email id in the recipient column of first row.You need to do is ,choose Assignees from the drop down value , check the check box make notification actionable, then set the proper email in the email attribute property of the assigned user (user creation time).
Thanks

ADF Databound Drop Down causes "invalid for working set view object"

I've created a drop-down list per the instructions laid out in the "Creating a Databound Drop Down List in Oracle JDeveloper 10g" HowTo ( http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev/tips/mills/databound_lists.html ). The list works fine when editing an existing row, but I get the following error when working with a newly created row:
JBO-25048: Operation getAllRowsInRange is invalid for a working set view object.
The drop-down list actually gets populated correctly despite the error. The error only occurs the first time I access the detail page that uses the list. I'm guessing that this may have something to do with the fact that the row value associated with with list is null.
Any ideas on how to workaround this one? Thanks.

Thanks Duncan.
The ViewObject that is bound to the list is only used for the purposes of the list so there shouldn't be any problem with its state being altered elsewhere. Not sure if that's what you mean by collisions or not...
I tried adding a "null/empty" value to the list but the results are the same.
What is meant by "working set view object"? What other types of ViewObject are there? How are they different and how does someone know which operations are valid/invalid?

Thanks,
Manoj

What I suggest is go into EM and undeploy this composite and all versions. (Only if you don't want the existing ones). Then redeploy your process. This will avoid the version conflict and create a new version. 1.0. Then the next time you try and deploy you need to either specify a new version or check the box to say the version can be over written.
cheers
