Alarms - using date in a BPEL Variable

I have some BPEL Alarm script as below; where I am using the content of a variable (deadline) to hold a date;
When I compile the WS I get the following error: 'XML parsing failed because Invalid content starting with element "onAlarm"'.
Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance
Vince

Hi,
I Donno wat exactly is your requirement to write it in a switch activity....you can use the transform activity for this.
Anyways...for your requirement u can use ...ora:countNodes('getTaskDetailsById_OutputVariable','getTaskDetailsById_OutputVariableCollection','/ns5:task/ns5:systemAttributes/ns5:assignees')
and assign it to a int variable....and use a while loop and each time decrease the value of count by 1...and put a condition in the switch in the while loop as seomething like */task/systemAttributes/assignees[count]/id=bpws:getVariableData('OperatorCode').*

How to use date functions in BPEL

Hi All,
Is there any wayout for calculating no. of years with a given date and current date in BPEL.
I am developing a small application where I have to calculate the years of experience of the employees. I am given with the date of joining.I want to subtract the date of joining from the current date. Is there any way-out to calculate no. of years from the given date and current date in BPEL using date functions or something else.
Please suggest something..
Thanks in Advance
Roshni Shankar

you could use something like this in xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions">
     <xsl:output method="xml"/>
     <xsl:variable name="date1" select="xs:date('2001-01-01')"/>
     <xsl:variable name="date2" select="xs:date('2010-01-10')"/>
     <xsl:variable name="dif" select="$date2 - $date1"/>
     <xsl:template match="/">
     <all>
          <date1>
               <xsl:value-of select="$date1"/>

Issues with Using Data Dashboard and Using Web Service

After running a system for many months it has suddenly decided to not work at all. I am using Data Dashboard to read variables on a host. I'll outline the system here to get a baseline:
I'm running LV 2012 SP1 f5.
I collect data from one Ethernet port and interfact it to another Ethernet port to form a proxy.
I use a fixed IP address from my DSL along with port forwarding/port triggering in my router for data observation and control.
So, what have I done so far?
1. Repaired my original LV 2012 SP1 and tested system.
2. Upgraded to LV 2012 SP1 f5 and tested system.
3. Ran service.msc and checked all the NI services that should be operational. Started and stopped several of them and rebooted computer.
4. Deployed all my SVs (multiple times)
5. Disconnected second Ethernet interface becasue sometimes the variables would deploy to this IP address.
6. Turned off my wireless because sometimes the variables would deploy to this IP address.
7. Checked "Web Server Configuration" "Application Web Server" for correct port number.
8. Checked "Web Services Management" and under "Deployed Web Services" there is one category: SV is marked as running. NOTE!! WebService is NOT listed and this could be a problem
I can use the following to retrieve data&colon; localhost:<port number>/sv/variable. But when I substitute my DSL IP number, I can no longer get any data.
So, what am I missing?
Thanks,
Paul.

Siana,
Thanks for your response.
I haven't touched the NI code in months. It is running on an XP laptop and I have the Windows updates turned off. McAfee is running on it and of course that updates regularily. This laptop is a dedicated machine that I only use for this function, nothing else. I haven't added or subtracted any programs for many months.
There have been no changes to the DSL from me. AT&T is constantly trying to get us to upgrade to U-Verse but we have resisted. All DSL modem and router hardware is the same.
Confusing, huh?

How to display a BPEL variable using Java Embedding

Hi, hope someone can help, I'm sure this is something very simple but for the life of me can't seem to find it through the tutorials including the Dev guide.
Question
=======
How can I display user defined and BPEL variables in the process activity "Java Embedding" ?
ex: System.out.println(bpws:getVariableData("myDatabaseParameterVariable")
This example doesn't work but this is basically what I am trying to achieve.
I would appreciate any help with this.
Rookie

Actually that's all the code I have.... System.out.println(myDatabaseArg);
myDatabaseArg is a simple parameter defined in the database adapter configuration wizard which is used as a criteria to retrieve data.
Just before I invoke the Read I use the Java Embedding to display the content of the parameter.

How to use data function using characterstics variable for calculation on

how to use data function using characterstics variable for calculation on attribute as key figure

Hi Gayatri
Did you not see my answer for CASE because CASE does indeed offer the use of the BETWEEN clause, but DECODE does not. Let me give you a little synopsis of DECODE.
In its most simple form it takes 4 values and looks like this: DECODE(A, B, C, D)
This essentially means, IF A = B THEN C ELSE D
The trick to solving BETWEEN in a DECODE is to work out algoriths where A = B. Because we don't know how many values are between 00 and 99, although I could guess there were 100 we could of course have 100 parts in the DECODE but that would be awful. How about if we look at it another way and say this:
IF PART_NUMBER < 'SDK00' THEN pay_amount
ELSE IF PART_NUMBER > 'SDK99' THEN pay_AMOUNT
ELSE pay_amount + 100
This statement only had 2 hard coded values, but how to make DECODE work with less than? Easy, we use the LEAST function. The LEAST function takes 2 values and returns the one with the lowest value. So I use LEAST(PART_NUMBER, 'SDK00') then whenever the PART_NUMBER is lower than SDK00 it will be true. A similar situation exists for the opposite function GREATEST. Putting all of this together then, you can do this:
DECODE(PART_NUMBER, GREATEST(PART_NUMBER, 'SDK00'), DECODE(PART_NUMBER, LEAST(PART_NUMBER, 'SDK99'), PAY_AMOUNT * 100, PAY_AMOUNT), PAY_AMOUNT)
In English this can be read as follows:
IF the PART_NUMBER is greater than or equal to SDK00 and the PART_NUMBER is less than or equal to SDK99 THEN PAY_AMOUNT x 100 ELSE 0
Best wishes

Question regarding Polling data from database using DB Adapters in BPEL

Hi,
I have the following question regarding Polling data from database using DB Adapters in BPEL -
If I am selecting data from multiple tables/view to ultimately generate hierarchical xml document, is there a way that I specify polling all of these tables/views. Is polling limited only to one table/view?
Thanks
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
your question seems to have been answered for the question of polling a set of tables with one as the root, and getting back a hierarchical xml representing multiple related tables.
However you can also poll for changes to both the root table and its related tables. Not sure if this was your question or the one already answered. If the former please check out the sample

BPEL Variables in to Transform activity (XSL)

Hi,
I need to access a BPEL variable from within a Transform activity (XSL).
I need an output like this:
<XML>
<val1>1</val1>
<val2>2</val2>
<val3>3</val3>
<val4>4</val4>
</XML>
Val1 and val2 is reachable from the xsd in the Transform activity (source variable). A DB-adapter is used to provide these data.
Val3 and val4 is present in the BPEL, within BPEL variables.
I have created a Transform activity with source = result of DP-adapter (val1 + val2), but will then need to get val3 + val4 (BPEL vars) from inside the Transform activity as well.
How can I do this ?
I have tried passing the variables in as parameters, but can't get this to work. I either only get the parameters, or only get the values from the DB-adapter, as it seems I only can have 1 source.
Similar thread, but with no answer:
Global Variables in to XSL

Thank you for answering.
The link you're referring to is the thing that I mentioned that I couldn't get to work.
Works fine when just passing parameters, but when I already have a source (like my DB-adapter output), and want the parameters as well, it's getting tricky. Seems there can only be 1 source: Parameters or DB-adapter output.
What I need is values from a source (DB-adapter output) + be able to send BPEL variables to the same Transform activity (XSL).
Have you tried this ? Is it at all possible ?

Any idea what this errorr means? the data type of the reference does not match the data type of the variable

I am using Veristand 2014, Scan Engine and EtherCat Custom Device. I have not had this error before, but I was trying to deploy my System Definition File (run) to the Target (cRio 9024 with 6 modules) and it failed. It wouldn't even try to communicate with the target. I get the 'connection refused' error.
I created a new Veristand project
I added the Scan Engine and EtherCat custom device.
I changed the IP address and auto-detected my modules
i noticed tat Veristand didn't find one of my modules that was there earlier. (this week)
So, i went to NiMax to make sure software was installed and even reinstalled Scan Engine and Veristand just to make sure.
Now, it finds the module, but when i go to deploy it getsto the last step of deploying the code to the target, and then it fails.
Any thoughts?

Can you deploy if you only have the two 9401 modules in the chassis (no other modules) and in the sysdef? I meant to ask if you could attach your system definition file to the forum post so we can see it as well (sorry for the confusion).
Are you using any of the specialty configurations for the 9401 modules? (ex: counter, PWM, quadrature, etc)
You will probably want to post this on the support page for the Scan Engine/EtherCAT Custom Device: https://decibel.ni.com/content/thread/8671
Custom devices aren't officially supported by NI, so technical questions and issues are handled on the above page.

How to use Database Adapter in BPEL

I want to use Database Adapter in BPEL to transfer data from one table to other table and the data is still hold in the read table?
I can find a example from http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/integrate.1013/b28994/adptr_db.htm#BDCIGDCB.
And the general design of my BPEL is as following:
1. Add a "status" column to the read table. And alter the value of status column of all data in read table to "unreaded".
2. Then create a empty BPEL (BPELAdapter) Project.
3. Add a Database Adapter:
(1) In step 1 of Adapter Configuration Wizard, configure the Service Name to datain.
(2) In step 2, configure the database connection.
(3) In step 3, choose "Poll for New or Changed Records in a Table".
(4) Then click Import Tables button, and choose the read table.
(5) In step 5, choose a column.
(6) Don’t do anything in step 6 and 7.
(7) In step 8, choose "Update a Field in the [Datain] Table (Logical Delete)".
(8) In step 9, configure Logical Delete Field to STATUS, configure Read Value to readed and configure Unread Value to unreaded.
(9) Don’t do anything in step 10 and 11.
4. Add a receive activity to connect to above database adapter.
5. Add another Database Adapter. Then configure this database adapter service WSDL:
(1) In step 1 of Adapter Configuration Wizard, configure the Service Name to dataout.
(2) In step 2, configure the database connection.
(3) In step 3, choose Perform an Operation on a Table (and all items under it).
(4) Then click Import Tables button, and choose the write table.
(5) In step 5, choose a column.
(6) Don’t do anything in step 6, 7 and 8.
6. Add a invoke activity to connect to above database adapter.
7. Add a assign activity between the receive activity and invoke activity. And configure the assign copy operation.
But after I deploy this BPEL project to the BPEL server and invoke this project, I get following error. Meanwhile, this BPEL don't take effect.
The following exception occured while processing this request:
Can't find partnerLinkType 2.
in
"file:/D:/soft/SOASuite/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_1/bpel/domains/default/tmp/.bpel_BPELAdapter_1.0_e82210b05e4d3e997eed581d0d220293.tmp/_BPELAdapter.wsdl" WSDL to find PartnerLinkType "{http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/db/datain/datain_plt"。
How to resolve?
Thanks,
Melody

Now, I can insert data into the table through Database Adapter.
But still can't select data from the table through Database Adapter.
Above error still happen when invoke the read database table with Database Adapter project:
Can't find partnerLinkType 2.

How can I do for a row of a query be data provider for a variable?

Hi friends, I have a problem !
How can I do for a row of a query be data provider for a variable?
I need that a value of variable be stored when the user select a row in a query. At the BPS we can do this configuring the variable selector in WIB, and in a WAB how I can do this ?
Best regards,
Gustavo Liberado

In this case when I press the key to call other forms I need to wait for the response in the secondary form and then process the result.That is exactly what a "modal JDialog" (or JOptionPane) are used for.
Try it. Create a short demo program. All you need is a JFrame with a single button to show the modal dialog. All you modal dialog needs is a single button to close the dialog. After you show the modal dialog add a System.out.println(...) statement in your code and you will see that it is not executed until the dialog is closed.
Then once you understand the basics you add the code to your real program.
If you need further help then you need to create a [Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)|http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html], that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour.
Don't forget to use the Code Formatting Tags so the posted code retains its original formatting. That is done by selecting the code and then clicking on the "Code" button above the question input area.

Using Date objects in SQL statements

Hi, I am wondering if it is possible to use Date objects while trying to retrieve entries from an access database with fields set as "Date/Time" fields, as opposed to "Text"? If so, do I need to reformat it before inserting it into the SQL statement, or can I just leave it as a Date object, and call up the variable name?
For example - "SELECT * FROM database WHERE startDate = ' " + dateObject + ' ". And do i need quotes round this value?
Thanks in advance.

I had some problems by just fetching a date and pushing it back to a MS SQL Database.
I used the following reformating step to fix it:
if (o instanceof Timestamp)
String time = o.toString().substring(8,10)+"."+o.toString().substring(5,7)+"."+o.toString().substring(0,4)+" "+o.toString().substring(11,19);
ht.put(columnName, time);
o is the object i receve from the select statement and ht is a Hashtable where i put my data.
To write the data back i now can use:
UPDATE table SET columnname = 'valueOfColumn'
This means i use the value i created above in Quotes to write it back.
Format of Timestamp.toString() is something like yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.xx
Format used by MS SQL (and i think by Access to) 'dd.mm.yyyy hh:mm:ss'

What is it about data types of local variables?

Hey there!
I'm trying hard to access the booleans, whose refnums got stored into an array. As the example show, everything's fine unless I start using local variables: I can access the data in the topmost FOR loop. As soon as variables come into play, it seems as if I have to explicitly typecast the data. Is it just me? There has to be a less complicated way... can anybody give me a hint?
Kind regards,
Severin

What is the benefit of Using Data Adaptor

Hello
I wonder that What is the benefit of Using Data Adaptor ? I don't know TopLink Technology , inorder to using Data Adaptor I should know toplink but what is the advatages of using BPEL database adaptors in conditions thet I can make webservices by making plsql web services or exposing ADF application modules more easier?
I think that if I use Data Adaptor (based of Toplink) I can use JTA feature for transaction managment , am I thinking Correct?
for example I can invoke to webservice A and the B in BPEL process with two DB adaptores (by global transaction ) such that if A failes the process automatically roles back the B transaction without need that I manauly compensate the undo process
please help me ?

Thank you for your very useful comments about DB adapter
I tried again and I have Successfully deploy and test my DB adapter with using # for parameter.
But I have another question : We have ADF Application that using ADF bc for user data entry supporting in use case scenario , but we want to call web services (eg BPEL) in save operation instead of ADF application modules Normal commit !
If we want using Data adapter for persist the Data that user entered by UI , we must write a lot of Insert or Update statements in DB adapter because of lot of database entities.
How can we shorten this production scenario in our Project?

Datatype for this column is date.
This actual start date I am storing in varchar2 variable and then converting this value to date with time.
My requirement is to pick the rows between the two timestamps which I am unable to do in the procedure.

YOu are losing the Time information while fetching the data into a VARCHAR2 variable. change the datatype of v_date to DATE and get rid of the TO_DATE logic in cursor and simply use v_date variable.
