BPEL and BI Publisher

Hi BI Publisher gurus!
Is it possible to call a BI Publisher report from BPEL process when using last versions of BI and SOA-suite (10.1.3.4).
If yes - I will appreciate for working example.
Best regards,
Anton.

In my case, when I trying to run a report, or schedule a report, or even get the report parameters from my BPEL process, I receiving a following error:
<messages><input><inVar2><part xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" name="parameters"><getReportParameters xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/service/PublicReportService">

And I have an access to this report and it doesn't have any parameter.
In the correspondent domain.log I see an ORABPEL-05002 Message handle error.
Any suggests for this issue?

Listener Adapters in BPEL and ESB

I created 3 BPEL Processes and 3 ESB's listening to OA Adapters. All of them listen to the same event. I found from the UI that only one subscription is created for all the 8 listener OA Adapters. When the event is raised all my BPEL Processes are instantiated where as only one of the ESB process was instantiated. Why is this happening? Shouldn't the behaviour be the same across BPEL and ESB.
Also can anyone tell me why a single subscription is created for all the listener Adapters? Shouldn't it be like each process will have a subscription and we can disable them if we don't use it.
Thanks,
Vijay

Vijay,
Generally the EIS(backend ERP / CRM), adapters and their framework would publish the message to the listeners only once. Once it is published successfully, it will not look for any other subscrbibers......
Note that this would vary between ERP / CRM, adapters, adapter framework and their implementation.
In case of SAP, the behavior of the MySAP adapter is as mentioned above. But, if you look at the PeopleSoft adapter, it is tied to one ip address and one port(message node configuration within PeopleSoft). So, if you want to publish to multiple listeners, then you will have to create multiple message nodes within peoplesoft.

How to start BPEL process with publishing initiation form designed in ADF

Hii All,
Can Anyone please tell me how to Start my BPEL process with publishing initiation forms designed in ADF fusion.
I am using JDevloper 11g and Oracle SOASuite 11g toolset in windows platform.
Thankx in Advance,

Hi,
I assume you mean the JMS example under the $OH BPEL examples area. Unfortunately, this only shows how to get a BPEL process kicked off by awaiting a JMS message - but there is no test code there! There are specific examples which show off the testing framework facilities but it appears that all the examples which use async type of interactions are in the middle of a process which is kicked off by a normal synchronous client interaction.
Any further help much appreciated.

Passing value from ADF to BPEL, and to PL/SQL procedure

1. I have created BPEL which take 2 inputs and concatenate them.
2. have created a PL/SQL procedure for invoking this BPEL( working fine).
Now i need to create a simple ADF page which contain 2 text box, 2 for input and 1 for result(concatenate), this will take 2 inputs and send them into BPEL, this will invoke the BPEL process and perform the necessary concatenate function...
in addition to this, i am passing code into PL/SQL procedure ...
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body xmlns:ns1="http://xmlns.oracle.com/OrderImportDemo">

this code will take vaule from BPEL and run properly.
can you please help me,

thanks for help, but the problem is diff.
i don't have any schema, what i want i need to create a adf page that will contain 3 tent field, 2 for input and 1 for output. when i will enter 2 input field and click on ok button, this will invoke BPEL, BPEL will take these 2 inputs and do the concat on this and send back to adf with result.

can you please help me,

Three simple steps you need to do :
1) Generate proxy for your bpel process in Jdeveloper.
2)Create simple ADF page with 2 input for taking value and a input for showing the result and one command button.
3) In backing bean on command button action, get value from two inputs, pass the in the proxy service and update the the the third input with the result of service.

Problems with reports and XML-publisher - No XML

Hi!
I'm having a problem with Apps and XML-publisher. I made a report file, which queries some views. When executing in reports, I get all the data I expect.
Now, when I upload the reportfile to Apps and let it generate XML, my xml-file is empty (well, almost empty)
<?xml version="1.0" ?>

<T03501684>
<LIST_G_PERSOON>
<LIST_G_PERSOON />
</T03501684>
Anyone who can shed any light upon this problem?

OK, finally solved the problem... A good night's sleep always helps ;).
After just trying each queried table one after an other, I found the problem:
The difference between Oracle Apps (Dutch locale) and the reports builder (English) is the language... And our functional people have changed some names, but the Dutch ones, leaving the english names in place and one of the tables I query has language specific data, which is also appears in a where clause.

How To : Call External Webservice from BPEL and pass SOAP Message to the WS

Hello All-
Greetings to all BPEL gurus. I am currently facing difficulties in calling an External Webservice from my BPEL Process and passing SOAP Message to it. The details are below:
<strong>1. The BPEL process, using database polling feature of DB Adapter, will get the records from the database.</strong>
<strong>2. Transform the message</strong>
<strong>3. Call the External Webservice and pass the transformed message as the input to it. However the Webservice expects the BPEL process to send SOAP headers in the input message.</strong>
I am struggling on how to put the transformed message within a SOAP envelope in the BPEL process.
If anyone had similar requirements and have successfully been able to send SOAP messages from BPEL process to an external webservice, kindly let me know.
Also if there is some kind of documentation or any link in the forum that I can refer, please let me know that as well.
I am new to Webservice integration using BPEL and would really appreciate your help.
Thanks In Advance

Hi Dharmendra,
I am trying to send a SOAP message from my BPEL process to a web service. I have a complete SOAP message in a complex variable defined in the wsdl for the partnerlink (web service). My problem is that when I invoke the partnerlink it fails even though the content shown in the BPEL console looks valid.
I have set up obtunnel to see what I am actually sending out from BPEL. You mention that BPEL creates the SOAP envelope automatically.
I think that my problem is a result of this automatic SOAP envelope that BPEL is creating. Do you know if there is a way to turn it off?
This is what I see in the TCP monitor, please note the double SOAP env:Body:
<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <env:Body> <RCMR_IN000002NR01 xmlns="urn:hl7-org:v3" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:wsa="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing" xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">

Trying to add new elemwent to BPEL, and it is now having binding error

I have a BPEL service that calls a PL SQL procedure. I have added a new element to the BPEL called quote_cart_line.
All I had to the BPEL to accomplish this was edit 3 files -
Async_Invoke_Import_Model.xsd (Source)
<element name="orig_sys_line_ref" type="integer" minOccurs="1" nillable="true"/>
       <element name="quote_cart_line" minOccurs="1" nillable="true" type="integer"/>
      </sequence>
.....APPS_NI_MODEL_IMPORT_UTIL_IMPORT_SELECTIONS.xsd (Target)
<element name="ORIG_SYS_LINE_REF" type="decimal" db:type="NUMBER" minOccurs="0" nillable="true"/>
         <element name="QUOTE_CART_LINE" type="decimal" db:type="NUMBER" minOccurs="0" nillable="true"/>
      </sequence>
.....Transform_NIE_Inputs.xsl (Transforming from Source to Target)
<ns1:orig_sys_line_ref>
          <xsl:value-of select="/ns1:Async_Invoke_Import_ModelProcessRequest/ns1:import_line/ns1:orig_sys_line_ref"/>
        </ns1:orig_sys_line_ref>
        <ns1:quote_cart_line>
          <xsl:value-of select="/ns1:Async_Invoke_Import_ModelProcessRequest/ns1:import_line/ns1:quote_cart_line"/>
        </ns1:quote_cart_line>
      </ns1:import_line>
.....I have done this to two other BPELs and they work fine. (1st BPEL calls the second BPEL passing this new element, which then passes it to this BPEL I am having trouble with, which then should be binding it to a PL SQL type)
So this BPEL calls a PL SQL procedure, binding the elements from the BPEL to a PL SQL type (ni_model_import_line). So I edited the PL SQL type to accept this new parameter:
orig_sys_header_ref       NUMBER,
       quote_cart_line           NUMBER,
       CONSTRUCTOR FUNCTION ni_model_import_line(p_part_number                IN VARCHAR2,
MEMBER PROCEDURE add_orig_sys_header_ref(p_org_sys_header_ref          IN NUMBER),
       MEMBER PROCEDURE add_quote_cart_line(p_quote_cart_line                 IN NUMBER)
MEMBER PROCEDURE add_quote_cart_line(p_quote_cart_line                 IN NUMBER) IS
BEGIN
   quote_cart_line := p_quote_cart_line;
END add_quote_cart_line;
END;
.....I invoke all of this, and the new element gets populated in 3 different BPELs, including this one I explained here. But when it comes time to call the PL SQL I am now getting an error:
<fault>
-<bpelFault>
<faultType>0</faultType>
-<bindingFault xmlns="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension">

</fault>This doesnt happen if I remove the references to this new element and try again, so it obviously is a problem with the element, but I have no idea what it is. It works fine when going from BPEL to BPEL, but as soon as the process tries to call the PL SQL procedure this happens. It is even more frustrating because I have done this exactly before adding another element, and it worked fine...
Any ideas or tips please?

So is there any further info I can provide or anything like that? I am still no closer to solving this it appears...
This makes no sense to me. I have edited these BPELs in this manner twice before and never had problems.
I have 3 bpels. I added the new element to each of them.
BPEL1 - calls some PL SQL and also passess the elements to the next BPEL (BPEL2)
BPEL2 - passes the elements to BPEL 3
BPEL3 - Calls PL SQL in exactly the same way as BPEL1
however, where BPEL 1 is functioning fine, BPEL3 is resulting in the error above. So frustrating, because BPEL3 works exactly like BPEL1, there is no reason it shouldn't be working. The elements are the same order as the PL SQL type and procedure it is mapping to, so that isn't the problem

The problem is when we create and then publish to ibooks review it can not be shown completely. How can I solve this problem?

If you are saying, that you published the book to the iBooks review team and cannot be seem in the store.
Use your iTunes Connect account > Manage your Books to check on its status. It takes time so you need to allow a few days.
If its a problems viewing on your iPad Follow the above advice and another option is is export your book, open iBooks on your Mac and drag the book into iBooks.
You can iTunes > add to libray and sync to your iPad.

SAP Netweaver Portal - Folder structure and report publishing strategy

Hi gurus,
I'm working on a project in which we are publishing BW reports in SAP Netweaver Portal (prior to this, we were using SAP Bex Browser) organizing it by Department (workset, 2nd lvl of navigation), Business Processes (workset, 3rd lvl of navigation) and "iview types" (transactions, queries, dashboards and so on). On 1st level we have a workset simply called "Reports".
For each PFCG role we have on BW (ABAP Server), we created a portal role and defined which of the higher navigation tiers is visible to users (delta-linking the top level navigation worksets to the portal role and setting visible accordingly) and then we assigned Portal roles to the appropriated Group (PFCG role) so all users that have access to certain PFCG role can have access to the corresponding Portal role.
For example:
In BW (ABAP) we have a PFCG Role: Sales PMR Analysis - Administrator, which grants access to Sales Infoproviders, queries and data for PMR analysis. The user that have access to it, should be able to see:
|Reports|
|Sales Administration|
v PMR Analysis
> Web Queries
> Transactions
> Dashboards
> Workbooks
In Portal we create a workset that has: "Reports" and under it, all Departments (Sales Administration, Financial, Services, Human Resources and so on) set as "not visible". We create a Portal role called PMR Analysis and add the Report/Departments workset, set Sales Administration as visible and add worksets/folders named PMR Analysis, Web queries, Transactions, etc, and all the corresponding iviews under it.
If we assign this new Portal role to the Group of the corresponding PFCG role, the user will see exactly as the example from above.
Pros: The users have a clean view of the reports he/she has access.
Cons: The users doesn't have a clear view of what is available in BW so he can request access. There might be some useful report lost in on of the hundreds of BW roles that he doesn't know it exist.
One of the options would be to grant visibility to ALL departments, business processes and iviews in Portal and let PFCG security roles control user access, but that might be confusing to have an overwhelming amount of links, making it hard to find what the user needs, specially during first access. Not to mention possible security breaches.
So, I'd like to know how other consultants are defining this kind of folder structure and report publishing strategy in Portal. Ideally we would like to be able to have:
- Visibility of all existant reports even those that the user does not have acess (so he can learn that it exist and request access)
- Clean view of reports, segmented by department and business processes.
- Possibility to search for reports, even for those that the user does not have access.
I'd appreciate if you guys can share your experience on this.
Thanks in advance.

Cons: The users doesn't have a clear view of what is available in BW so he can request access. There might be some useful report lost in on of the hundreds of BW roles that he doesn't know it exist
This is not a refutation: your BW developers/consultants should be able to write reports, which points you in case of insufficent backend rights. EP is not designed to be familiar with ABAP security concept and cant take any influence at it.

Yes, bad idea.
- Visibility of all existant reports even those that the user does not have acess (so he can learn that it exist and request access)
As you already wrote on your own, this would be not good
- Clean view of reports, segmented by department and business processes.
- Possibility to search for reports, even for those that the user does not have access.
This is not covered by SAP, if you wanna provide that, develop it on your own.

How to disable 'Save' button when OAF and XML Publisher integrated...URGENT

Hi,
I am new to the OA Framework and XML publisher. I have been working on a requirement where I am designing a new page in Manager Self Service with few fields and a submit button. Also designed a RTF template in XML publisher to display the output in PDF format.
When the details are entered on the page and click on 'Submit' button, the PDF will Open with the data populated. This is working perfectly... thanks to the forum.
But my issue is: When the submit button is clicked, it displayes a dialog box with Open/Save/Cancel options and if I click the 'Open', the PDF will be opened. But my client is a retail client and they don't want store managers to save this PDF so either I have to skip this dialog box and directly open the PDF or I have to disable the 'Save' on the dialog box.
Gurus -- Please help me how to achieve this. This is very urgent
Below is the piece of code I am using in the controller to generate the PDF.
TemplateHelper.processTemplate(
((OADBTransactionImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean).getOADBTransaction()).getAppsContext(),
APP_NAME,
TEMPLATE_CODE,
((OADBTransactionImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean).getOADBTransaction()).getUserLocale().getLanguage(),
((OADBTransactionImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean).getOADBTransaction()).getUserLocale().getCountry(),
inputStream,
TemplateHelper.OUTPUT_TYPE_PDF,
null,
pdfFile);
Thanks in Advance,
Naren

Frank, thanks for the update.
But do you want me to try ControllerContext.getInstance().getCurrentViewPort().isDataDirty(); in button disable property?
I have written one method in my am like
public boolean isTransactionDirty(){
return getDBTransaction.isDity();
and exposed that method to client side and i try to use this method in my button disable property as
disable#{bindings.isTransactionDirty.execute} but this is not working.
Thanks

How to create WEB SERVICES in BPEL

Hi',
Performance tuning in BPEL and ESB.
***This is very big topic I can give you 2 points here
In BPEL we should avoid the use of duplicate variable, the best way to do this is, when ever we are creating a new variable
we need to ask can we reuse variable from inside the process, example when creating the input/output variable in Invoke activity
we need to check if we can use some existing variable instead of creating new.
All the DB related operation should be performed in 1 single composite.
How to create WEB SERVICES in BPEL
Not sure what you want to ask here, as BPEL is itself a webservice.

Purchase Order to Purchase Order using BPEL and/or XML Gateway

Hi,
Is there a way to do create a duplicate Purchase Order in another instance using BPEL and/or XML Gateway? We're looking to do A2A transactions, namely duplicating data from one instance to another (of course the functional setups would have to be the same). Thanks!!

this is the perfect usace for the upcoming ESB (shuffling data with transforming from A to B) - but this can be done with BPEL too .. there are some solutions to this
1) on a database level (db to db)
2) having events setup'ed in the master instance, that fire a process that get's the data
3) and then using the functions from iRep

BIEE and BI Publisher standalone

Hi,
I am new to BI, I went through OBE for BIEE and BI Publisher. I have installed BIEE (and BI publisher desktop) successfully, when I launch BI Publisher shipped with BIEE, I dont get admin tab and thus account tab in preferences. Moreover, no option to create new report etc however, I can work in Dashboard and Answers. Then I installed BI Publisher standalone, I performed this installation twice, once it was installed at 9704 port (when OC4J of BIEE was stopped) and next time at 9705 port (when OC4J service was running). With this new installation I got admin tab and was able to create report and word template etc. But with that installation I was unable to proceed with section "Creating BI Publisher Reports Based on Various Data Sources" of BI getting started OBE : http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_bi/bipub/intro/gettingstarted.htm as MS word can either connect to 9705 BI installation only. Can any one please guide me what I am missing and that should BIEE and BI Publisher standalone be installed on same PC or not, or, what else I need to do to complete that OBE.
NOTE: I have done all installation on VMWare, I hope it has nothing to do with the problem I am facing.
Thanks in Advance and Best Regards,
Qamar

There are several reasons as to why you can have the BIP Admin tab missing in your installation. This issue is very well covered in the forum so I suggest you use the forum search and read them all.
