Any good books on using Oracle Workflow?

I'm trying to get my hands around the topic of workflow, specifically using Oracle Workflow Builder and was wondering if anyone knew of any decent books out there....

Oracle documentation may be of help.
Try these.

Any good book or e-book for Developer 6i(beginner's level)?

Can somebody tell me any good book or e-book for Developer 6i(beginner's level)? Is there any link to Developer 6i?

Also look at Demo forms for 6i
The forms 6i demo is downloaded from oracle website:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/products/forms/6idemos.html
and if you change your idea about using current release Forms 10g, you can walk here:

Custom Workflow using Oracle Workflow in ContentDB

Hi,
Could we use custom workflow which is made using Oracle Workflow instead of BPEL.
Regards,
Yulisar

Having registered custom workflows for Content DB via Enterprise Manager, potentially you can use any tool capable of dequeuing/enqueing messages from the IFS_BPEL_OUT/IFS_BPEL_IN advanced queues as part of a custom workflow process.
By default, we assume you are using Oracle BPEL PM with its Advanced Queue adapater to process the queue messages. However, there is nothing stopping using Oracle Workflow or any tool for that matter.
HOWEVER!!! Warning!!! There is a high probability that Content DB will drop the bundled Oracle Worflow installation in the near future. What this means, is that you should consider installing/configure/patching your own separate Oracle Workflow installation and not rely on the bundled Content DB solution which is used internally for Serial and Parallel Approval workflows.
thanks,
Matt.

Is it a good idea to use oracle database to process the geometry data?

I am working on a map related project. Here are the stops I need to do.
1. load geometry information from a table with spatial filter and other conditions (where clause)
2. get the points from the geometry column (sdo_geometry)
3. transform the coordinates
4. encoding the coordinates
5. output
We have a third party applicaiton that can do both #2 and #3. However the process is slow. Some quick tests show that all the steps from #1 to #4 can be done within oracle and the speed is faster. My concern is if it is a good approach to use oracle, a database server, to do all the data processing that can be done and normally shoudl be done on a web server.
Any adivce please?
(BTW, we use oracle 10g on windows 2008R2 64bit, and we may upgrate to 11g in about a year.)

Hi Simon,
Thanks for your help.
Yes all the steps can be done within the database side (Oracle). However I could do the same (extracting the coordinates from the sdo_geometry column, transforming the coordinates and encoding the coordinates) in .net code (web server side) by making use of the new verison of the odp.net. So I have to make a decision now to choose which approach to go, relying on Oracle server to do all the data processing or .net code. I am pretty sure Oracle can process a single request fairly quick, but if tens or even more concurrent requests for the process, I have concerns over the performance or reliability of the database server, especially the server is (a kind of ) beyond of our control (in control of the midware, IS and network team). Somebody said database is just a database and for data storing and retrieving, but may not for processing the data.
Here is more information regarding what we are doing. We use Google Map API to disply parcels. Each time the map is loaded, panned, zoomed, or refreshed (and so on), we need to query the database with spatial filter and some other criteria. The result will be tens or up to handreds of parcels containing hundreds to thousands of coordinates that are extracted from the parcel table that has a sdo_geometry column. We are expecting tens to hundreds of these requests every minute.
Now I am trying to chain every step together and do some tests using both appoachs in order to see which way is more effient and promising. I am guessing there won't be too much difference in terms of the performance for some simple testing unless I run some load testing, or if somebody like you guys can help me out.
1. load geometry information from a table with spatial filter and other conditions (where clause)
Regarding the issues you asked:
====================================
I assume you mean something like: Yes
CREATE TABLE load_table AS SELECT ID, GEOM FROM base_table where SDO_INSIDE(....) = 'TRUE';
2. get the points from the geometry column (sdo_geometry)
I assume you mean something like: Yes
SELECT ID, v.x, v.y FROM load_table l, TABLE(sdo_util.getVertices(l.geom)) t;
(See last comment about data.)
The problem is that we need a lot more information on what it is that you want to do in steps 3 - 5.
3. Transform the coordinates.
What sort of transformation? Rotation, Shift, Scale, Coordinate rounding? Transform from UTM to LatLng
4. Encoding the coordinates
What do you mean by this? Write them out as WKT/KML/GML? Google map encoded polylines
5. Output
Again, output to what, where? A new table? A shapefile? A text file? JSONP formatted data
Also, if you can provide a single sdo_geometry object + data and some example SQL it would help as well.
Here is an example where I take a geometry, rotate it (cf 3. Transform), extract vertices (2. get points), encode it (4. Encoding), and then output to screen (5. Output).
WITH myGeom As (
SELECT 1 as id,
MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY(2006, NULL, NULL, MDSYS.SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1,2,1,5,2,1), MDSYS.SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(355600.52, 5407396.19, 361365.32, 5408106.36, 356488.27, 5409242.37, 357437.46, 5406457.67)) as geom
FROM DUAL
SELECT g.id || ',' || t.x || ',' || t.y as csv
FROM myGeom g,
TABLE (sdo_util.getVertices(
GEOM.Rotate(p_geometry => g.geom,
p_tolerance => 0.005,
p_rotatePt => MDSYS.SDO_Point_Type(357437.46,5406457.67,NULL),
p_rotation => 45 ))) t;
-- Results
CSV
1,355474.91,5405822.39
1,359049.08,5410400.89

Oracle Workflow is only available as a component of EBS. It has never been available on, and is not certified for Oracle 11g, nor any version of XE.

Deleting a user in AD using Oracle Workflow

Hello.
I have a very unusual scenario that I want to solve.
We are developing an application using Oracle Workflow in which we are simulating the process of deleting a user from several systems. In one of the steps of the process we have to invalidate the user in MS Active Directory.
Using OID it's possible to do that? Any clues on how to do it?
Thanks In Advice.

adi,
Yes, the Change User Password workflow is called even if the user logged in using "forgot my password" questions.
By default, IDM commits the user passwords before the "Change User Password" WF is called (unless you set the deferCommit option), so the problem may be that your function isn't getting called or receiving valid input. Can you verify that your code is actually called?
The workflow goes like this: (1) Start; If there's an uncommitted password view (there isn't by default) -> (2) CommitView -> (3) Now reprovision the user.
If you're depending on the transition to CommitView, that may be why your code isn't being called.

Can anyone recommend any good books on leaning actionscript for flash?

Can anyone recommend any good books on leaning actionscript
for flash?
Intermediate level
I have been using flash for about 2 years more as a hobby
than anything else, some websites etc but now I realise I am going
to need to learn more actionscripting to do what I want, I have
come to terms with the simple stuff like goto – basic
variables – load mov – enough to programme up website
navigation.
I ideally want to learn more about the dynamic side of flash,
mostly for designing user interfaces and websites etc
I’m after a book that doesn’t get too heavy too
fast yet I’m a little past the more basic functions
Any thoughts?
Cheers

Modify process flows using Oracle Workflow

Hi,
I'd like to use Oracle Workflow to enhance the process flows created using Warehouse Builder, as some features are missing if compared with the full-blown Workflow Builder, and it is desired to integrate OWB processes in larger ones. I have successfully applied changes on the Workflow processes generated from OWB but it's not clear how far I can go, especially because I don't want to lose too much of the benefits of the original Workflows:all mapping results should continue to show in the Runtime Audit Browser, and it shouldn't be impossible to deploy the processes in a new environment.
I am worried that when I change the processes manually in Workflow, I lose the possibility to re-deploy automatically from OWB, but this is tolerable as long as the final Workflow processes are maintainable and deployable.
Has anyone tried a similar approach? How much can it be feasible/supported??
regards, Antonio

Jean-Pierre, thank you very much for your reply.
I'm still evaluating what will be done through OWB and what through OWF. However my first attempts were oriented along the lines you suggest, that is to keep the process flows generated by OWB untouched, and use them as building blocks for larger processes. At the moment I am trying to realize what balance gives the best result. One extreme would be to use OMB scripting to wrap mappings in very simple generated processes, deploy them and build all the workflow logic in OWF. The other extreme would be to implement complete workflows through OWB and modify them through Workflow, but I'm sure this would certainly not be supported (as the Workflow developer manual states).
My intent is to use OWF to add some flow logic I find difficult to introduce using OWB, especially for recovery actions, eg I added a join operator to the standard AND and OR, which purpose is to wait that all joining processes complete and than to branch depending on a failure in any process. I don't want the following recovery/logging actions to start unless processing has stopped.
I built such logic very easily throw OWF but it's very involved using OWB, unless I'm missing something...

Made The Switch! Any Good Books To Help A PC Vet?

Anyone know of any good books to read up on to get used to the Mac? Ive been a pc guy forever and would like a "guide" to ease me into the Mac lifestyle.

Yes I would recommend getting Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard: Peachpit Learning Series (Paperback)
by Robin Williams. Amazon is currently selling it and I'm sure you can find it on e Bay too. The link to Amazon is here.
Also the links that were provided are excellent and a great starting place.
I bought her Leopard book a couple of years ago and found it invaluable when I was making the switch.

if so how?.
Please helpme!! is veri urgent.

Con este apellido seguro que entiendes el Espaqol.
Mi empresa esta iniciando un proyecto con la tecnologia que
estas buscando, es decir, Utilizar Forms y Reports para manejar
las APIS de WorkFlow Server, hemos encontardo muchos problemas,
el principal es que la API de WorkFlow es demasiado pequeqa para
manipular todos los procesos de WorkFlow por este motivo nos
hemos visto obligados a acceder a tablas y vistas del modelo de
datos de WorkFlow.
