Assigning today's date to process flow start actvity

Hi,
I am trying to assign today's date to my process flow which will be used as a common load date for multiple transformations within the process flow. I'm at a loss on how to do this. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

You can add variable to the start acitivity or create stand alone variable(global for Process Flow) in the left side panel (where you see selected objects/events) and give the value of the variable as sysdate. Make sure the Literal property is set to false meaning it is not literally SYSDATE but the value of sysdate.
It worked for me.

OWB Error: Connection lost when assign a schedule to a process flow

I have:
- OWB 11Gr2
- Oracle DB 10Gr2 Source/Target
I have created a schedule module and set the location to be one of the target DB locations.
Create a one of schedule and scheduled for daily execution.
Open configuration of a process flow and assign with the schedule.
After this, i tried to save the repository, and occurred the error message:
"Repository Connection Error: The connection to the repository was lost, because of the following database error: Closed Connection
Exit OWB without committing."
The connection with the repository was lost and i can´t do more anything.
I tried to create a separate location for the schedule, but it don´t make difference
What´s happening?
Thanks,

Mapping sensor data to process flows

Hi,
I´ve implemented a sensor-action that uses a JMS-queue to report its data. I´ve specified a few sensors in the process I´m calling as well as all processes called by that first one.
This is ment to monitor the process workflow resulting in a graph that represents the flow of the different processes visited.
To get to the point: when that first process is called twice (or even more often) at a time I get a whole bunch of sensor data, but cannot distinquish their origin - either from the first flow or the second one. Since I´m using not only one process I cannot use the instance-id as a reference. I was thinking of passing sort of a generated id (timestamp) through all processes.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Max

You can use a wrl file with the 3D picture control. How you map your values is optional. I have used color coded sphere at the locations of interest.
Have fun,

Process flow wait activity usage

Hi all,
I'm having some issues while trying to use the wait activity on a process flow...
I have a simple process flow:
START ---> WAIT ---> END
the parameter MINIMUM_DELAY on the wait activity is set to 10 and the UNTIL_DATE parameter was left blank.
The following error occurs when I try to execute the process flow:
ORA-01867: the interval is invalid
ORA-06512: at "OWBSYS.WB_RT_CONVERSIONS", line 371
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error string
ORA-06512: at line 3
I'm I doing this right? Any help would be much appreciated...
Best regards

Anyone modifying this should be very careful. We have had problems in some mappings that use the TO_CHAR function to convert a date to the Day number in week, and that varies from region to region.
If you change the language that the Control Center Service is invoked under, you also change the regional settings (NLS_LANGUAGE and NLS_TERRITORY, etc.).
A better solution I think would be to add a preprocess mapping that executes an ALTER SESSION SET NLS_LANGUAGE = ... and ALTER SESSION SET NLS_TERRITORY=....
I do not have the possibility of testing this, but that is what I would see as the correct way forward (and not changing the way the control center is invoked).
Good luck!

Scheduling a Process Flow

Hi All,
I wanted to run my process flow at a predefined schedule. I had created a schedule for the same. But how do I specify which mapping need to be run on this schedule and how do I deploy this schedule. I am not able to see this schedule in my Location?
Thanks & Regards,
Danish

Hi
1. Deploy the process flow.
2. Create a schedule and set the time parameters
3.Right click on the process flow you want to schedule
4 select configure
5. Assign the schedule to the process flow using referred calendar. This will create a process flow job or scheduled job under the location string used for creating a schedule. The scheduled job would be having the name of the process flow but with suffix "_JOB"
6. Deploy the scheduled job.
7. Start the scheduled job manually initially. This will start/enable the schedule and the Process flow is executed for every interval of time.
Hope this helps

Date parameter in a process flow

Hi,
I´m working with OWB 10.1.0.2.0.
I have a process flow with a transform.
The transform has a date parameter and I´ve defined a date parameter in the start activity, which is bound to the start parameter.
If I try to pass a date parameter in this form, sysdate, the process doesn´t recognize it and in the all_rt_audit_execution_params table i can see that the param process has no value.
If I pass a date parameter in this format 2006/08/07 the process works fine
I need to pass the date parameter from start activity to the process activity using expresions with sysdate,
may anyone help me? please and thanks
beatriz

Hi,
there are several tasks you want to accomplish:
1. "I need to check if the parameter file exists"
Therefor OWB has the File Exists Activity (Process Flow). This one checks if a file exists with specified name on specified location. If so it returns with SUCCESS. If not, it returns a WARNING. In second case you should do a sleep for a while and then re-check.
2. "accessing the date value from the parameter file"
There will be several ways to do this. The easiest one may be, to declare a external Table on this file and simply select from it (use it as a source in your mapping)
3. "After the ETL is finished running, the name of the parameter file needs to be changed"
In your process flow you create a user defined activity. In this one you start cmd.exe (on windows) and execute any DOS-commands you like. In this case a move or rename.
Hope I could help you...
Bye,

How should I interpret the results of list_requests:

Whilst a process flow is executing the last query will list executions, all of which have status BUSY:

As an aside, I will attempt to get rid of the READY deployment and deployment unit using deactive_deployment.sql
Now, if I attempt to use deactivate_execution.sql on any of the executions with status BUSY I get:
owner_owr@ORKDEV01> @deactivate_execution

ORA-06512: at "OWNER_OWR.WB_RT_EXECUTION", line 90
ORA-06512: at line 4
owner_owr@ORKDEV01>
So all the seems to remain is to use abort_exec_request.sql
This does the job, but the script itself hangs.
I think it has to do with the l_stream_id not being checked again after the initial IF. I think it should probably be part of the loop condition as it is again reset in the do_acks inside the loop.

Analysing Task Audit, Data Audit and Process Flow History

Hi,
Internal Audit dept has requested a bunch of information, that we need to compile from Task Audit, Data Audit and Process Flow History logs. We do have all the info available, however not in a format that allows proper "reporting" of log information. What is the best way to handle HFM logs so that we can quickly filter and export required audit information?
We do have housekeeping in place, so the logs are partial "live" db tables, and partial purged tables that were exported to Excel to archive the historical log info.
Many Thanks.

I thought I posted this Friday, but I just noticed I never hit the 'Post Message Button', ha ha.
This info below will help you translate some of the information in the tables, etc. You could report on it from the Audit tables directly or move them to another appropriate data table for analysis later. The concensus, though I disagree, is that you will suffer performance issues if your audit tables get too big, so you want to move them periodically. You can do this using a scheduled Task, manual process, etc.
I personally just dump it to another table and report on it from there. As mentioned above, you'll need to translate some of the information as it is not 'human readable' in the database.
For instance, if I wanted to pull Metadata Load, Rules Load, Member List load, you could run a query like this. (NOTE: strAppName should be equal to the name of your application .... )
The main tricks to know at least for task audit table are figuring out how to convert times and determing which activity code corresponds to the user friendly name.
-- Declare working variables --
declare @dtStartDate as nvarchar(20)
declare @dtEndDate as nvarchar(20)
declare @strAppName as nvarchar(20)
declare @strSQL as nvarchar(4000)
-- Initialize working variables --
set @dtStartDate = '1/1/2012'
set @dtEndDate = '8/31/2012'
set @strAppName = 'YourAppNameHere'
--Get Rules Load, Metadata, Member List
set @strSQL = '

SAP MII 14.0 SP5 Patch 11 - Error has occurred while processing data stream Dynamic Query role is not assigned to the Data Server

Hello All,
We are using a two tier architecture.
Our Corp server calls the refinery server.
Our CORP MII server uses user id abc_user to connect to the refinery data server.
The user id abc_user has the SAP_xMII_Dynamic_Query role.
The data server also has the checkbox for allow dynamic query enabled.
But we are still getting the following error
Error has occurred while processing data stream
Dynamic Query role is not assigned to the Data Server; Use query template
Once we add the SAP_xMII_Dynamic_Query role to the data server everything works fine. Is this feature by design ?
Thanks,
Kiran

Thanks Anushree !!
I thought that just adding the role to the user and enabling the dynamic query checkbox on the data server should work.
But we even needed to add the role to the data server.
Thanks,
Kiran

"Exception Processing Message" error when clicking the Accessing Server Data link on the start page

When I first started the application, I click the Accessing Server Data link on the start page. I immediately got the error "Exception Processing Message c0000013 Parameters 75b6bf7c 4 75b6bf7c 75b6bf7c in a dialog box titled "Windows - No Disk". I had to used Task Manager to remove the box after closing Flash Builder 4. I then tried the video tutorial on "PHP Services in Flash Builder 4". I keep receiving an error during service introspection trying to connect to the PHP class. It was the same error as the other individual "Cannot Connect to PHP Service". So I tried another tutorial and generated a sample PHP class. I moved a datagrid on to the stage, droped in the getAllItems function, and configured the return type. However, when I ran the app, I received the same error "Exception Processing Message" again. I have attached the screenshot of the error in addition to my phpinfo and log files.

"The exception process message" is definitely a issue. Is it happening consistently, if so can you file a bug at bugs.adobe.com/flex and give out your machine config details, and the error log.
With regards to generating a new php file and the introspection error that you are getting, looking at the logs it probably is two fold.
First off the name of the file and the class name should be the same, are you having employeeServices as the name of the class in employeeServices.php file.
Second, It seems prior to generating this new file, you had a syntax error at line 5.
It would be easier to figure out what the error is, if you can also attach the php file, by removing any sensitive information in that.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

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

Process Flow - mapping not inserting data

I have a process flow that executes three mappings in sequence i.e Map1 -> Map2 -> Map3.
However, sometimes the process flow will execute and no data will be inserted by MAP2, other times it runs ok. If I run the mappings directly data is always inserted.
The only workaround I've found is to add a WAIT of 10sec between Map1 and Map2 in the process flow.
Has anyone come across anything like this and how did you work around or fix it?
OWB 10.2.0.3 btw.
Cheers
Si
PS. transitions are ok.

Hi
If you have any map inputs make sure they are also declared in the processflow map - you basicly need to bind them.
You probably need to investigate from the beginning to understand your result of incoherent data.
What I would to first is.
1. Generete an intermediete code - choose your table as outgroup.
2. Review the code - are there any loading hints ?
3. Debug the map
Check your locations.
If everything seems right then the problem should lay on your workflow manager.
Remember that the workflow manager has only one namespace, so watchout for mapping name. I had strange executions on my PF because one of my maps had a "½" in the name.
Check the settings of the map - if you have enterd a set based run in your map and a row based run in the processflow.
Remember the setting in the processflow is the "superior" one
Just ideas what you can do.
Cheers

Process Flow Execution of Mapping results in ORA-01403: no data found

Hi,
When the Mapping is run standalone, it runs fine, but when run through a Process Flow, it generates ORA-01403 on a FILTER within the Mapping.
What should be the debug steps. The RTE_ROWKEY is mentioned as 0 and does not help.
OWB Version is 9.2.0.2.8
- Jojo

So, when I submit the form, the Apex error I see is:
ORA-01403: no data found
Error Unable to process row of table fRQ (the debug is also posted in mail earlier)

Cash flow start date and first posting date in REFX-RECN contract

Hi,
While reviewing old contracts, I have noticed that in contracts where first posting date is mentioned, the cash flow start date is not editable in contract change screen. In contracts where first posting date is not mentioned, the cash flow start date is editable in the change screen.
Is this standard system behaviour? Because i have read in the forum that cash flow start date is not editable after first posting of the conditions.
I tried to change the field status of cash flow start date through RECACUST, but despite keeping the field status as display, the cash flow start date remains editable.
Please help on how to make the field status not editable.
sadhana

Hi Sidhharth,
Thanks a lot for your immediate reply.
I still have one query. You have written that
Where First posting date is not updated it indicates that posting of the contract is yet to be done,not a single posting has been performed hence Cashflow date is editable.
This means first posting date is always filled up after condition is posted. but in our system i find that the date is blank and greyed out even after the 1st posting.
Could it be due to having several conditions in the contract - some with one time posting, some with monthly posting? eg.most of our contracts have atleast two contions - one for deposit which is one time payment, one for rent. the first posting date is updated in individual condition for rent in conditions tab but first posting date in terms tab is blank. But even in single condition contracts, the first posting date is not getting updated in term tab (the field gets greyout out once contract is activated)
Thanks once again.
Sadhana.
