ALUI Directory vs. Oracle BPM

Hi,
I'm trying to filter users import to import my BPM Engine.
I would like to query all users that has groups containing a
string.
Something like that:
(&(objectclass=portalUserClass)(uniquemembersof=*groupname*))
But, I thing this attribute uniquemembersof of a user is a
virtual attribute, right!?
I cannot see this attribute on any users, but when I open a
group I can see the attribute uniquemember.
Any idea!?
Thanks.

Yeah, I could use Oracle External Authentication Plug-in, but I am having issues with running the oidspadi.sh script on my Windows 2003 server environment. I am running this script using Cygwin's latest software, but for some reason I get the following error message.
: command not found8:
: command not found8:
: command not found3:
: command not found7:
: command not found1:
: command not found8:
: command not found9:
: command not found0: clear
OID Active Directory Plug-in Configuration
Please make sure Database and OID are up and running.
: command not found7:
: command not found0:
oidspadi.sh: line 103: syntax error near unexpected token 'fi'
'idspadi.sh: line 103:' fi
Therefore, I was trying to find an alternative solution, which will be using Virtual Directory. Right now, I have installed Oracle Virtual Directory on my testing system and I have both Active Directory server and OID server part of LDAP Browser. My goal is to using Oracle Portal to log-in and first look for the user in OID if not found then look in Active Directory. Can this be accomplished using Oracle Virtual Directory?
Please let me know.

Oracle BPM - FDI Directory?

Hi,
Can any one explain the functionality and explanation of the FDI directory in Oracle BPM?
Regards,
Anandh P

HI Anand,
FDI plays an important role in the BPM. FDI contains all the directory information like Participants, Roles, Groups, Oraganisation etc. When synced up with LDAP, all the participants information is stored in FDI DB. FDI also contains BPM specific Participents Id and Role Id mappings. Users when logged into BPM, it gets authenticated with FDI database.

Migrating ALBPM 5.7 to OBPM 10gR3

ADDM is just a sophisticated software module.
It does not use any hard-to-understand, magical and mathematical tricks but sticks to collected information(AWR) and some proven best practices.
So, i think it's no harm for you to consult ADDM report.
Every best practice has weakness, it can't deal every aspect of your DBMS things.
But, it's good start point and does not make stupid mistakes unlike human beings always do.
Another thing to note is that ADDM is a very large module and connected with AWR, Tuning Avisors, wait events, Advisories, blah blah blah~
You're not using ADDM correctly if you have no good concepts and experiences on these.

Configuring Oracle BPM 10gr3, Directory with ALUI 6.5 portal LDAP

Hi,
we are trying to create a directory service using Active LDAP. We have ALUI v6.5 with PT LDAP service unabled.
I'm not able to complete the process of configuration. It is giving 'Invalid username and password' error for BPM Administrator fields.
We tried with few users exists in the LDAP, but no luck.
Can you please help me in this regard.
Thank you,
Sarma

Hi!
I had a similar problem with 200K + users in LDAP. However, I cannot change de base DN to include search base (like exemple below). I have a lot of users distribute in diferents OU in my active directory server. Does anybody know how can I solve this problem?????
Note: in weblogic server is possible to configure active directory provider to list user from a specific OU and groups from other OU. Is it possible to oracle BPM enterprise ?
Por exemple:
ldap://active_directory_server:3268/DC=mycomp,DC=com,DC=br -------------->
ldap://active_directory_server:3268/OU=Users,OU=Rio,OU=TI,DC=mycomp,DC=com,DC=br.
Thanks.

Oracle BPM directory database

Hi,
IHAC that has a custom application to manage their users and roles. They are using Oracle BPM and they want to keep creating, managing and authenticating user with that application, that is not a LDAP.
How can I syncronize the creation/updating/deleting/ of users in their application with the Oracle BPM Directory? I have been looking for Oracle BPM Directory schema documentation but I haven't found anything
I know that activating SSO I could manage the user authentication but I still have the issue about users administration
thanks in advance

Hi
In OBPM 10gR3 we can create the participants & manage & update user roles dynamically using the FDI components.
simple solution to your requirement is check the user roles in both the application DB & in FDI database & write your code accordingly.
To check the participant existance in directory DB:
//=======FDI Participant verfication=======
Fuego.Lib.Participant primary = Participant.find(name : "participant_id"));.
If the above value is null then create a new participant & assign the roles using the below code.
i. Participant Creation : Fuego.FDI. DirHumanParticipant
Ans: // Reuse Engine session to the Directory
session = DirectorySession.currentEngineSession
// Load the Organization Unit to which the participant will belong to
myOU = DirOrganizationalUnit.fetch(dir : session, id : "Dallas")
// Load the Role that the participant will have assigned,
// and create a role assignment for it
myRole = DirOrganizationalRole.fetch(session : session, id : "Role1")
myAssignment[] = RoleAssignment.create(role : myRole, permissions : 255)
// Create the new participant.
myparticipant = DirHumanParticipant.create(
session : session, id : "example_participant",
firstName : "NewName",
lastName : "NewLastname,
displayName : "NewLastname, NewName",
mail : "[email protected]",
telephone : "0000000000",
fax : "1111111111",
password : "secret",
ou : myOU, rolesAssignment : myAssignment,
enabled : true)
// set it NOT to receive emails when new instances arrive to
// this participant inbox:
myparticipant using receivesMail = false
ii. Role Assign / Update : Fuego.Fdi : RoleAssignment.
Ans:
// fetch all roles
mySession = DirectorySession.currentEngineSession
allroles = DirOrganizationalRole.fetchAll(session : mySession)
// Generate array of RoleAssignments for all non-parametric Roles
for each r in allroles
do
aRole = DirOrganizationalRole.fetch(session : mySession, id : r.id)
if not aRole.parametric then
newAssignments[] = RoleAssignment.create(role : aRole,
permissions : 255)
end
end
// Replace role assignments for this participant
currentPart = DirHumanParticipant.fetch(session : mySession,
id : Participant.id)
currentPart.rolesAssignment = newAssignments
update currentPart
For reference go through the this link: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13154_01/bpm/docs65/standard_components/index.html
I hope this might help.
Thanks

Oracle BPM directory databse

I have a problem in updating the participant roles. The code goes like :

I am executing this on Oracle BPM Studio Version..Is this the case taht it should be executed on enterprise version..????
Thanks in advance

Without looking into previous projects, Your code looks correct... And I do recall it not functioning in studio. Give it a try in an enterprise environment, and let us know of your success/failure, and I'll look back into what I had to do if needed!

Differnece between Oracle BPM and Aqua Logic BPM

Hi,
Iam just started readign about Oracle BPM , could anyone answer is there nay difference beteen Orcale BPM and Aqualogic BPM. I am working on other BPM technology ,I am analyzing other BPM tools to get the key differentiators among them. Please brief me the features that are unique to Oracle BPM.It would be helpful if good KB link is provided.
Thanks

Good question. I'll try to recap a little history of Fuego, AquaLogic and Oracle BPM for you. I worked for Fuego just before it was acquired and rebranded as part of the BEA AquaLogic Suite. I'd like to see what other have to say on this topic as well.
From what I recall, BEA bought Fuego and released version 6.0. This was the first version branded as AquaLogic. The major change it contained was the integration of studio into the Eclipse IDE. It was somewhat integrated with ALUI, which used to be Plumtree before it was bought out by BEA and re-branded AquaLogic. I say somewhat since it wasn't integrated as well as it could. One major issue was the way the directory was integrated. They used a synchronization utility called ITPS (I think) to sync the ALUI directory with BPMs directory. This was very problematic.
Version 6.3 came out that improved the way the workspace integrated with portals and ALUI and integrated the directory more efficiently with ALUI. Mostly it contained many improvements in the workspace functionality. The workspace had configurable panels which made it easier to integrate with dashboard components and widgets.
Version 6.5 was coming out around the same time that Oracle took control of BEA. Version 6.5 is very much the same as OBPM 10g. For more information about OBPM 10g refer to this article:
http://otndnld.oracle.co.jp/document/products/bea/weblogic/E13154_01/relnotes/release_notes_OracleBPM10gR3.htm
In a couple of months Oracle will be releasing BPM 11g. There will be many changes to BPM in this release. It will be integrated with JDeveloper and will inherit much of the SOA strategies known for Oracle's Fushion Middleware suite. It also contains a Process Composer web based UI that Business Analysts and Business stakeholders will find useful.
I blogged about BPM 11g here:

[OBPM 10gR3]How to configer a hybrid directory with Oracle LDAP Server

Hey, guys,
Does anyone have experience on configering a hybrid directory with Oracle LDAP Server? How to config the mapping conf file for Oracle LDAP in the directory of \OraBPMwlHome\conf?
Here is my conf file. But I got some LDAP mapping errors. It's really weird OBPM doesn't support Oracle's self LDAP, at least it does not provide the conf file.

Hi,
in my case, I am trying to configure the OBPM directory using ALUI and its native LDAP service.
Now, I found that the first name and the last name in BPM are retrieved from the ALUI display name : provided we enter the display name in the format %first name% + %last name% we get them into BPM. But the display name is not always in this format...
In addition, it's the portal telephone number information which is retrieved into BPM Telephone and Fax numbers.
And, the email adress remains blank
I have installed the latest patch for OBPM (Version: 10.3.1.0.0 Build: #97172)
Would you have any documentation about creating a Profile Web Service in ALUI and specifying which LDAP attributes to map to which ALUI properties in the Profile Source ?
Thanks !

OutOfMemoryError when running Oracle BPM Enterprise's Configuration Wizard

Hi,
I was trying to configure Oracle BPM Enterprise via Oracle BPM Admin Center. I left most of the settings to their respective default values; only adding in passwords for the Directory, Engine, etc. However an error was encountered when it is trying to deploy the '01-eng-bpmengine' EAR file. A 'OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space' was logged after running the configuration for a while. Below is the full error log:

Is there any way that I can increase the heap size of the Configuration Wizard? If not, is there any solution to this problem?

Hi,
It seems to be a Weblogic OOM (OutOfMemory).
Why don't you try increasing the weblogic memory (you have to modify your domain scripts)
I guess that after increasing your WLS domain memory settings you will be able to configure it using the config wizard.
Hope this helps,

How to read Extended user property in oracle BPM?

Hi,
I have tried using the XPATH expression in Data Association to read an Extended User Property defined in Oracle BPM Workspace. Actually I'm using Active Directory for authentication, and as there is limitations for modifying existing AD to accommodate custom fields required for BPM Processes, I created an Extended User Property called Department Code and mapped it for all users who should be participating in the process. Now I want to read this Department Code and display in ADF Form (Human Task Form).
I tried something like this using XPATH Expr. in Data Association for Human Task :
ids:getUserProperty(bpmn:getProcessInstanceAttribute('creator'), 'departmentCode')
But it appears that using Identity Function exposed for Xpath we can only read some pre-defined set of properties associated with internal LDAP for weblogic. So please suggest what is the approach one should follow in order to read Extended User Properties defined in Oracle BPM Workspace.
I'm using Oracle SOA 12.1.3 and JDeveloper 11.1.17 deployed on Windows 7

Oracle BPM 11.1.1.5 Performance issues

Hi,
I have 2 Node Cluster of Oracle SOA 11.1.1.5 installed. Have a separate cluster for SOA/BPM, BAM, OSB, WSM. Here are the OS and Java versions
Java Vendor: HP
Java Version: 1.6.0.14
OS: HP-UX
OS Version: B.11.31
Running into an issue where Oracle BPM is performing very slow the task forms takes forever to come up and performing any actions takes too long to proceed som time it keeps timing out. I have over 100 SOA Process running plus some BPM Process but BMP Workspace application is running too slow as have customized tasks forms. But the same works a bit better in other instance which is non-clustered. Any idea what can be done on the server level to get around the performance issues. So far have modified Audit Levels and reduced soa-infra bpm log have the following settings in setDomainEnv.sh for USER_MEM_ARGS=-Xms2000m -Xmx6000m -XX:PermSize=1000m
But not help. Any idea what else to look into to get around these bpm performance issues. Here is what I have in setSOADomainEnv.sh

After changing JVM settigns for soa cluster it's a bit better but still slow so wondering what other tweaks can be done on the JVM side. Here is what is for the SOA Cluster
USER_MEM_ARGS="-server -Xms12928m -Xmx12928m -XX:PermSize=3072m -Xmn3232m -XX:+SXTElimination -XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+ExplicitGCInvokesConcurrent -XX:-TraceClassLoading -XX:-TraceClassUnloading"
We are running multiple instances on the same boxes and the total RAM on the machine is 95 GB on each box which is being shared across 4 cluster environments. For now other 3 cluster environments have the SOA Cluster JVM setting as
USER_MEM_ARGS="-server -Xms4096m -Xmx4096m -XX:PermSize=1024m -Xmn1152m -XX:+SXTElimination -XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+ExplicitGCInvokesConcurrent -XX:-TraceClassLoading -XX:-TraceClassUnloading"
Any help on what else I can tweak or set in JVM to get a better performance.
Thanks

How to Enable the Oracle BPM Worklist?

Hi!
Newbie here.
So how do you enable the Oracle BPM Worklist?
Sure there a tutorial for this found in http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e17366/chapter16.htm#BABHCICI
and in section "16.2 How to Enable the Oracle BPM Worklist" it says
"By default, Oracle BPM Worklist functionality is disabled. You can enable this functionality in AIAConfigurationProperties.xml.
To enable the Oracle BPM Worklist:
-Access AIAConfigurationProperties.xml located in <AIA_HOME>/aia_instances/$INSTANCE_NAME/AIAMetaData/config.
-Set the EH.INVOKE.HWF property value to true.
-Reload updates to the AIAConfigurationProperties.xml file."
However upon searching for the file "AIAConfigurationProperties.xml" or even the directory "aia_instances" in our servers, I could not find them. Please help me!

If you are talking about 11g Worklist app, then you won't be able to do that, since the source code is not shipped with the product. The better way is to create the custom worklist application using the Worklist APIs. Refer to the SOA Developers Guide.
In case of 10g, you can access the source code of Worklist app, even in that case, you can do your requirement using the exposed APIs.

Oracle BPM Composer and no ADF

Hi Everyone,
We are planning to use Oracle BPM as our BPM engine. But our organization doesn't support ADF. So could anyone help to answer the below questions. Thanks a lot for your time.
1) Can we use Oracle BPM Composer... Does Oracle BPM composer require extended ADF Domain?
2) Default BPM workspace can't be used. So we need to build our own workspace. Are they any predefined framework to build a MVC or any other java framework to build workspace.
3)Could anyone let me know the additional things we should take care in case we don't use ADF domain.
Thanks everyone for your time.

Oracle BPM Studio (JDeveloper) is used by developers to create processes, human tasks, the process instance payloads, the composite services used by the processes, complex transformations, business rules and the ADF UIs.
Composer is a business user oriented web based tool used by business analysts with similar capabilities. Using Composer, business people can create and maintain processes, define process instance payloads, human tasks, process payloads, business rules. Instead of creating ADF UIs, you create and test web forms using a web based UI web form designer tool that it comes with in 11.1.1.7. Because the forms built using Composer can only be viewed from the Workspace or WebCenter Spaces tools, and because you're not going to use the Workspace or WebCenter Spaces tools, you won't be able to use Composer to create your UIs.
You might want to rethink your decision to not use the Workspace or WebCenter Spaces tools, but because you're not going to use either one you will instead be building your forms using the form design tool of your choice.
Although I'd advise you against recreating it, you'll need to become comfortable using the different APIs Oracle BPM exposes if you're going to try to duplicate the Workspace and WebCenter Spaces tool functionality.
Here's the API JavaDoc and a few blogs that will give you some tips on getting started:

Security for Oracle BPM PAPI WS

Hi all,
1) While creating a session using PAPI WS if we use the password same as username can't the webservices be invoked by other applications in te same network? How to prevent this? Any application which knows an username in Oracle BPM directory can invoke these web services!!
2)What is username token profile mechanism for WS?
how to apply username token profile for PAPI WS when invoked from .net apps? I need details.
Regards,
Som

1.) Any application which knows the username/password could invoke the services. The passwords are only the same as the username in Studio, not in enterprise.
2.) Username Token profile is a WS-Security standard. Using WCF you would be able to set the username/password which will be included in the SOAP header.

Update to Oracle BPM Suite 11.1.1.4

We're currently testing Oracle BPM 11gR1 (11.1.1.3.0) which is running on a clustered environment (Weblogic). We would like to know if there is any documentation on how to upgrade the current installation for the new patch - 11gR1 (11.1.1.4.0).
It just can't be that we have to make a brand new installation of everyting (creation of DB schemas, new installtion and customization of Weblogic 10.3.4 ...) ??

Yes RCU is only to drop or create schemas, it doesn't do upgrades. The database upgrade to 11.1.1.4 is done with the patch set assistant, which is installed by the SOA installer into the SOA home. Which is why you have to upgrade the SOA installation before you can do the DB update. Note that not all schemas need to be updated. The patch set guide lists which are needed.
The Fusion Middleware Installation Planning Guide outlines the difference between a new install and upgrade. If you start here I think it will save you lots of time and headache:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/install.1111/b32474/start.htm
For an upgrade you'll use the Fusion Middleware Patching Guide:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/doc.1111/e16793/toc.htm
The thing that can be confusing is that there is a single SOA installer that can do a full install of 11.1.1.4, and it can upgrade 11.1.1.2/11.1.1.3 to 11.1.1.4. When you point the SOA installer to a SOA home location, if it sees an existing 11.1.1.2/11.1.1.3 installation, it knows it's doing an upgrade.
For the database it's different. You use RCU for new installations, but you use the patch set assistant to do an upgrade. Similarly a new installation of WLS uses the WLS 10.3.4 installer, but an upgrade from 10.3.3 to 10.3.4 requires the patch installer that's available from support.
One last thing to note is that you should still download RCU even if you're doing an upgrade. The new purge scripts are included in the RCU installation directory and you'll install those using SQL Plus at the end of the upgrade.
