Audit trial in bpel console should display err msg only without data

Hi,
I have requirement where audit trail in BPEL Console should display meaningful error message without displaying payload. Please provide some workaround for the same.
Thanks in advance.

Displaying calculated field only when data exist

Hello,
Is there a way to display my calculated value only when the data entry field is being used. For instance, if I have several fields vertically aligned, I don't want to display a bunch of zeros if their data fields are not being used.
THANK YOU!!!!

You can check for the rawValue in the Calculate event before any script.
Event: Calculate
//FormCalc
   if(Field1.rawValue ne null) then
     // write your script here
   endif
//JavaScript
if(this.rawValue != null){
   // write your script here
Thanks

Audit Vault 10.3 Console - Internal Error on Pages/Tabs Accessing Port 1158

Hello Audit Vaulters!
I wonder if any one has encountered this problem we are having right now.
We are using the default port 1158 for the AV console. It looks like it has stopped working properly. This port is accessed by the "Audit Policy" tab when you log in as auditor and also by all the tabs when you log in as administrator in the console. When you go to these tabs the first time, you will get "internal error" but when you "refresh" the page by entering the URL (https://<hostname>:1158/av) again on the same page, it works - the page is displayed.
There were no changes applied to the AV server or even to the collection agent. The only update done was patch 1 for AV 10.3.
I changed the port from the default 1158 to something else to make sure it's not a port issue. It did not work either.
Any ideas are welcome.
Thank you.

For those who encounter this error in the future, please refer to the update below. I have fixed this problem.
The issue was that the "administrator" and "auditor" passwords will expire soon . It looks like the the console checks the expiry date of these accounts prior to loading the page. After resetting the passwords for these AV user accounts, we no longer get the "internal error" during the initial load of the page.
I have asked Oracle to update their documents on AV user account management and how it affects the AV components such as the console. I also asked them if they can improve the console. When the admin and auditor accounts are expiring, the console should just load the page without throwing the "internal error"? Or maybe display a page, warning that the account is expiring so the customers have a clue on what the problem is. Even the log files did not leave any informational messages regarding the expiring accounts so I guess logging the error will be helpful to the users of Audit Vault.

Instance missing in BPEL console

Hi,
I have a process say "THIRD", it has database adapters and exception handling for each scope as well. In the case of any exception in "THIRD", the process calls the another process say "EMAIL" which is only meant for e-mail notification.
Now the situation:
When sometimes the process name "THIRD" is invoked from client(Oracle Apps/BES) first time in the morning and if any of the DB adapter throws exception, the instance of "EMAIL" is created and send the mail too. But if we try to find out the instance of "THIRD" which cause the problem is missing in BPEL Console.
Moreover, it happens only first time in the morning and doesn't happen everyday.
Thanks in advance.

Is your BPEL deployed on OC4J?
Described property is here
<ORAHOME>\integration\orabpel\system\appserver\oc4j\j2ee\home\config\server.xml
restart OC4J. Check also BPEL domain parameter syncMaxWaitTime (From BPEL Console-> Manage BPEL Domain). syncMaxWaitTime should be less than transaction-config timeout. Otherwise it is not working properly.

Read only access for bpel console in SOA Suite 10.1.3.5.1(weblogic)

Hi
For SOA Suite 10.1.3.5.1 on weblogic, Is there any way to restrict certain users to some pages in bpel console.. e.g. read only access to bpel console.
I have found articles on web regarding this but they all are for SOA Suite 10.1.3.3 (and 3.4) on Oracle app server. Article provides a hack by using servlet filters.
How to do a similar thing in SOA Suite 10.1.3.5.1 on weblogic ?
Can somebody provide step by step instructions?
Thanks

Hi James,
I have already seen this link and several refined versions of it but it wont work for weblogic. For example
There is no j2ee/oc4j_soa/applications/orabpel/console directory (i looked into home directory as well but could not found orabpel/console dir).
So question is where to put filter class and how to make changes in web.xml as this file is not present in j2ee/oc4j_soa/applications/orabpel/console/WEB-INF/
I checked deployments in weblogic admin console and seems BPELConsole is deployed as a module under BPELPM ear.
Any idea?
Thanks.

Display of 2 rows of data for 2 different date range selection

Hi Folks,
I have a requirement as follows,
User has an option of selecting 2 Date Ranges
From and To Date and again From and To Date
The result should display 2 different rows of data with From and To Date range selection.
Eg:
12/09/20008 to 03/09/2009           10 20 30 40
23/10/2009 to 18/12/2010           40 20 10 30
Difference                                   30 0 20 10
% Change                                   x y z   q
Thanks for your input.
Regards,
KJ

You will need to use union report, and you would have fours union's in this report.
Union - 1: Data from 1st Date Range
Union - 2: Data from 2nd Date Range
Union - 3: Variance Calculation
Union - 4: Percentage Variance Calculation.
If the date's are coming from the same field, use cast function to use the same column twice in your prompts. Apply filters on each union as needed.
Thanks.

Can not display visual flow in bpel console

Visual flow and audit flow can not be displayed after I click a deployed process wich file adapter in BPEL console. This problem can be consistently reproduced.
1. Create a very simple bpel flow with file read adaper . The file adapter is set to polling file every 5 second. Choose "Create Instance' in the receive activity.
Or you can use the flow in $BPEL_HOME\integration\orabpel\samples\tutorials\121.FileAdapter\FlatStructure
2. deploy the bpel process.
3. go to bpel console dashboard and find the deployed process.
4. click the process, you come to the initiate tab. Click 'Post XML Message'.
5. pick any other process and run it. Open visual flow or audit flow, page shows as blank.
I know I am not suppose to do step 4 because the process will be initiated by the file adapter. But sometimes people just accidently come to this page, especially for a new user like me. The problem is, after this, you can no more bring up visual flow even after restart the server. I had to unstall BPEL PM and re-install it.
I am using the latest version of BPEL PM (10.1.2.0.2).
I noticed someone experienced this problem before , and he/she als had to re-install BPEL too. (http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=1336202&#1336202). I think this is probably a bug. If anyone know how to quickly fix this problem or any available patch, please let me know.
Thank you,
Kate

What happens if you undeply the process then deploy it again.
to undeploy you go to the BPEL Console. Select the process on the left hand side. Click the manage tab then undeploy button.
If you have deployed more than one version you will need to remove all instances.

BPEL process is not displaying in BPEL Console

Hi
We are deploying the process through jDeveloper to BPEL PM, we have around 100 process are successfully deployed. Once i restart the OPMN by giving OPMNCTL STOPALL and OPMNCTL STARTALL. The process are not displaying. Once restart the whole server means it is coming. what could be the problem
Thanks in Advance

After deploying did you try a clear WSDL cache in the BPEL console?
Do you have a look in the log files?

Oracle BPEL Console audit trail showing incorrect information

Hi all,
I am using Oracle BPEL 10.1.3.3 on Red Hat Linux server and 10g R2DB as the dehydration store.
My processes whether synchronous or empty are all executing properly without any error and in the 'Instances' tab under BPEL console they are shown as completed succesfully,however when I click on a particular instance and try to view the audit trail each activity is shown as pending .........but the Input and Output of those activities are all correct.
Infact even the Assign and Transformation activities are shown as pending.
Neither domain nor opmn log files show any error.
Can anyone please let me know what can be the possible cause?This is very urgent.
Thanks.

Audit trail (if it's turned on) is persisted only in database. What you see in console is just visual representation of data in XML fashion. But behind the scenes is allways database. Even in developer installation (which you are probably using) is database. It is Oracle Lite (Olite).

BPEL console - cannot see the process audit trail and visual flow

Hi All,
The Visual Flow and Audit Trail for a BPEL is not appearing for me, when I log in to the BPEL console. Fortunately, the 'view as raw xml' screen is working, hence I am not completely helpless, but I would like to see the graphical representations of the process which is just not appearing.
I am on 10.1.2.0.0 with the 3 patches. Is anyone else also facing this issue? If yes, then has anybody found a solution?
Thanks,
Nilanshu

That's strange because I am using Internet Explorer. Maybe it is an installation issue or something. Let me try with Firefox. And if that does not work, I will probably uninstall the BPEL designer and re-install it. Hopefully, that would do the trick.
Thanks.

The steps I followed for the MLR#3 patch on Windows 32 bit were:
1) Use opatch utility for patch 7586063 - No errors displayed and lsinventory output looks fine
2) Ran the upgrade_10134_10134mlr_olite.sql & upgrade_10134_10134MLR_olite.sql scripts for BPEL and ESB (Oracle Lite used for this development install)
Any ideas how to resolve the BPEL Console error?

After performing an opatch rollback I realised that I should have run the BPEL database upgrade script "upgrade_10134_10134mlr_above_mlr11_olite.sql" rather than the one listed in my previous post above.
So after reapplying the patch and running the correct script all is now working

Messed up BPEL console in Firefox (all versions)

Hi,
I am trying to use the BPEL console (10.1.3.4) in Firefox (tried all versions from 2.x till 3.5) but the jsp pages seem to not like the rendering engine of the browser.
In particular the Audit trail and Flow tabs for the process instances are terrible let downs. On the flow tab I get an error 'Flow viewer is not defined' or broken html/javascript code in plain text upon repeated refresh.
Looks like firefox has issues w/ the javascript libraries being used to display the flow.
Has anyone been able to fix this or know any particular version of firefox which works fine w/ the console.
Appreciate any help on this.
Thanks,
Shishir

10.1.3.5 Flow diagram in Bpel console does not show all details

Hello,
Does anybody experience this? And what would be the fix did we missed some configuration (hopefully)?
Bpel Console-> Instances->choose instance with executed pick activity->Flow (to see diagram of the flow)
10.1.3.5 does not show underlying activities in a picked onMessage action. However in a "Audit" all details are shown OK. In the attached example it's onAlarm - but it's happening with all of onMessages.
http://i41.tinypic.com/2jdj1ab.jpg
10.1.3.4 - shows underlying activities fine

Process instances do not show in BPEL Console

Hi all,
I have a BPEL, which reads a files from a particular folder if any, Process records in that file and then stores it in database.
I am facing a problem, my records gets processed, this BPEL works fine, as i can see the output in database, however associated instances are not shown in the BPEL Console. But if i restart the process (i.e. Switch OFF the process and Again Switch ON) it shows me all the previous instances and also the current instances. But sometime again this problem occurs.
Has anyone faced the same issue? Please let me know in case anyone has solution.
Thanks in advance.

[http://download.oracle.com/technology/tech/soa/soa_best_practices_1013x_drop3.pdf|http://download.oracle.com/technology/tech/soa/soa_best_practices_1013x_drop3.pdf] I found below in SOA best practices guide:
Why Does the Instance of an Invoked Process Not Display in Oracle BPEL Control?
If the process invoked is asynchronous, the message headers and payload are stored in
the invoke_message table. The invocation message is then processed by a
background thread to create an asynchronous BPEL process instance. If an error is
encountered while processing the invocation message, the transaction is rolled back
and the invoke message remains in its unhandled state in the invoke_message table.
See "How Does an Invoke Message and Activity Display in the Manual Recovery
Page?" on page 1-18 for more details on this scenario.
If the process invoked is synchronous, the cause for the missing instance is likely a
transaction rollback. The reasons for a transaction rollback are as follows:
■ Third party manipulation of the JTA transaction. As described in "How Do I Force
a Rollback in a BPEL Flow?" on page 1-5, a failed database adapter invocation can
cause the TopLink layer to mark the JTA transaction for rollback. Because Oracle
BPEL Server relies on the JTA transaction for persistence (not just as a signaling
mechanism between transaction-aware modules), any changes to the status of the
transaction impact Oracle BPEL Server’s ability to dehydrate the instance.
■ Transaction timeout. The synchronous process may be invoking one or more
backend synchronous services; the total time of all the backend calls may exceed
the timeout value for the transaction. See "How Do I Modify Transaction Timeout
Settings for Oracle BPEL Server?" on page 1-9 for details on how to increase the
transaction timeout value.
■ Failure to dehydrate the synchronous instance to the database. If the
completionPersistPolicy is set to on, the instance attempts to save itself
before returning to the caller. Typically, errors are encountered during this step if
the database connection has been severed or the tablespace is full. Some customers
Transactions
Oracle BPEL Process Manager 1-9
have encountered problems with saving the audit trail of the instance. For
example, there are problems with JDBC batching in 10.1.3.1.0 that the audit trail
persistence code uses. When a synchronous invocation does not result in an
instance visible from Oracle BPEL Control (assuming that
completionPersistPolicy is set to a value of on, deferred, or faulted),
use the following steps to find the underlying error:
– Enable all loggers to debug mode.
– Resubmit the invocation message.
– Check the Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server (OPMN) or
command-line log for the underlying exception stack trace.

BPELConsole Authentication is not working. Can't log in to BPEL Console

I have installed the SOA Suite 10.1.3.10 which I have downloaded from OTN. I have selected the Standard Install and the installation was successful. I can start the SOA Suite without any problem. I can access the Oracle Application Server 10g Release 10.1.3.10 page.
But when I click the BPEL Console (or any other link such as ESB Console) link from the right it opens a new window asking me to enter the username and password.
After entering the username as oc4jadmin and the correct password which was specified as part of the installation, nothing happens and the Username/Password screen is displayed again without any error message. I have tried entering the username/password combination for more than 5 times and nothing happens. It appears that the web page is not communicating to the authentication server. Otherwise it should display an error if the password or username is not valid.
I have checked the log files and can't find anything wrong. I have even disabled the firewall, but still get the same problem. I'm using Windows XP professional on a HP notebook which has 2GB RAM.
I have re-installed the product three times and the same problem exists.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks
Maha

I think the problem could be linked to the computer name. If I start the OAS Welcome page using localhost ie., http://localhost:8888 and click the BPELConsole then the URL shows http://localhost:8888/BPELConsole. With this, the username/password works.
In one of the old posts in the forum the people have complained that having an underscore in the computer name ie., xxx_yyy causes this problem. I haven't tried chaging the computer name, but the localhost works.
All the controls are working with localhost, but I have issues with the "Application Server Control". After accepting the oc4jadmin/<password> it comes up with an error asking me to "Supply Administration Credentials". The screen shows the username/password fields with the "Store Credentials" button. It also states that I have logged in as "oc4jadmin". The error message is shown below.
++++++++
This OC4J is configured to make JMX connections via RMIS and fall back to RMI if the RMIS port is not configured. The RMIS connection on the OC4J instance home on Application Server shara.SHARA_HP is configured but a connection could not be established. The JMX protocol is specified by the oracle.oc4j.jmx.internal.connection.protocol property in opmn.xml
+++++
I don't know whether I need to set the URL to localhost in any of the config files.
Has any one encountered this issue?
I will check search the forum and then post a new message for this issue.
Thanks for all the responses for the original problem.
