BPEL AND WORKFLOW

Hi , sorry for my english , i am new working with BPEL and i want to know , if oracle bpel replace oracle workflow and it make´s that with TaskManager service or if you know some tecnology that make it ??
Thanks

thats means ... if i have a project with workflow , in this time , BPEL probably it´s not the better answer , because the client has full oracle infraestructure , database oracle , ias and portal and pl like front end, with a big effort of developers in portal , if they want new wfl , we need to continue work with older oracle workflow to oracle BPEL will be the new core of fusion middlewear ??

Differences in Oracle Service Bus, BPEL and human workflow

Hi Everyone,
I am newbie, don't know if its the right place to post this thread.
I want to prepare paper on differences in Oracle Service Bus, BPEL and human workflow, can anybody help me.
Till now i came to know all these things are very different, no poit comparing them but still need differences
Thanks in advance:
Vikas

Basic difference:
BPEL : It is used for orchastrating different processes. Its heavyweight and stores instances (stateful)
OSB : It is used for routing data between the applications
Human Workflow : It is used to handle scenarios where manual intervention is necessary.

When to use BPEL and when to use workflow

Could some one give me advice on this topic? BPEL workflow editor looks much nicer, but as far as I can see the workflow definitions and workflow instances are outside of the database.

I had the same question before. You might like to look over these threads
Automating Business Process.. should we go for BPEL??
Automating Business Process.. Workflow or BPEL??
we might together reach a better clear idea since Oracle has two products:
Oracle Workflow
Oracle BPEL
This really made me confused a lot, but I beleive the above thread will make things more clear. Moreover, I could be open for everybody here to participate in order to make the picture more clear to us and others

Groups functionality in BPEL humal workflow not work for Third party LDAP

Hi,
Oracle Virtual Directory(OVD) configured as third party LDAP was integrated
with BPEL human worklist and corresponding tasks were assigned to a
particular group using the human task editor. When the members in the group as
present in OVD logged in to the BPEL human workflow console the assigned
tasks are not visible to the particular user whereas logged in as bpeladmin can
able to view the task for the group and the associated users. The same when
tested with the default JAZN authentication the functionaliy is working fine. We
are not able to assign any tasks to the members associated to the groups. Also
tasks assigned to individual users directly are found to be working with OVD
integrated.

BPEL and Content DB's performance issue

Hello,
We are using an integration between BPEL and ContentDB, we do have a workflow configuration set on a particular folder where a workflow is triggered on the "Create" event. When BPEL does receive this event, a webservice is called afterwards. This webservice involves a call against the ContentDB API (for instance, we create an upload operation).
Everything is fine when a few documents are handled, but the system fails when more than 100 documents are created.
We figured out that instead of having one instance of the workflow running, we are actually having 100 instances of the workflow running concurrently...
So we thought that tuning the application tier would have resolved the issue. But we are still stucked because we hit system limitations (OC4J_CONTENT jvm Xmax sizing increased from 256 to 512 Mo)
Is there a way to setup contentdb to make it triggers WF operation progressively (using ramp up or queueing ?).
Cheers,

Assuming your BPEL processes are connecting to Content DB using Java exec call-out blocks, you could have some of common FDK (ManagersFactory) Web Service session pool - and essentially block until a session is released/made available. This would throttle the incoming load from BPEL on the OC4J_Content instance.
-Matt.

BPEL Custom Workflow (DocumentReviewWorkflow) with Content Services

Hi All,
Anybody working on BPEL Custom Workflows got Success in using the DocumentReviewWorkflow with the Content Services Development Kit 10.1.2.3.0
Please update..
Many Thanks in advance..!!!
Prasant

The DocumentReviewWorkflow that ships with the Content Services web services places the documents in the comments field.
There are examples in the sample code - DocumentReviewWorkflowAction.java file demonstrates how to get the URLs from Oracle Content Services
// Initialize the various Web Service Manager classes.
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(100);
String endpoint = session.getServiceEndPoint();
setUpManagers(session);
try
// Obtain the new/updated document items.
Item[] documents = WorkflowUtils.getTargetDocuments(session,
m_WorkflowId);
int len = (documents == null) ? 0 : documents.length;
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
AttributeRequest[] pathar = WsUtil.newAttributeRequestArray(
Attributes.URL);
Item tmp =
(Item) m_CommonManager.getItem(documents.getId(), pathar);
String filepath = (String) WsUtil.getAttributesMap(
tmp)
.get(Attributes.URL);
// Convert the String list to a single string for convenience.
sb.append(filepath);
sb.append("\n");
finally
session.logout();
You can then add the document links as attachments by creating a list of attachments and then inserting the URLs for the documents in the URI - I've done it using a combination of Java and BPEL. Here is an excerpt
<bpelx:exec name="countAttachments" language="Java" version="1.4"><![CDATA[/*Write your java code below e.g.
 System.out.println("Hello, World");
 // Note that the documents come back as a list of
 // documents with a line break between them
 String filename = (String) getVariableData("filename");
 String[] docnames = filename.split("\n");
setVariableData("numberofdocuments", new Integer(docnames.length));
]]>
</bpelx:exec>
<assign name="initCounter">
<copy>
<from expression="0"/>
<to variable="counter"/>
</copy>
<copy>
<from>
<attachment xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/taskservice/task">
<name/>
<URI/>
<content/>
</attachment>
</from>
<to variable="ParallelVar1" query="/task:task/task:attachment"/>
</copy>
</assign>
<while name="While_1" condition="bpws:getVariableData('counter') < (bpws:getVariableData('numberofdocuments') - 1)">
<assign name="createAttachmentList">
<bpelx:append>
<bpelx:from>
<attachment xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/taskservice/task">
<name/>
<URI/>
<content/>
</attachment>
</bpelx:from>
<bpelx:to variable="ParallelVar1" query="/task:task"/>
</bpelx:append>
<copy>
<from expression="bpws:getVariableData('counter') + 1"/>
<to variable="counter"/>
</copy>
</assign>
</while>
<bpelx:exec name="AddAttachmentsToList" language="Java" version="1.4"><![CDATA[/*Write your java code below e.g.
 System.out.println("Hello, World");
 String filename = (String) getVariableData("filename");
 checkpoint();
 String[] docnames = filename.split("\n");
for (int i = 0; i < docnames.length; i++) {
int strlen = docnames[i].length();
int slash = docnames[i].lastIndexOf('/');
String filenameonly = docnames[i].substring(slash + 1, strlen);
int item = i + 1;
String varname = "/task:task/task:attachment[" + item + "]/task:name";
String varuri = "/task:task/task:attachment[" + item + "]/task:URI";
setVariableData("ParallelVar1", varname, filenameonly);
setVariableData("ParallelVar1", varuri, docnames[i]);
]]>
</bpelx:exec>
This uses the fact that the document URLs are returned as a \n delimited string.

Hi Manish,
It seems that you are using a custom security provider and the weblogic server is not able to find the class / jar file that contains the class.
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Failed to load class com.msl.security.providers.SessionPrincipal]
Make sure you have all the required jar files in the server classpath.
You can use the JarScan utility to find the jar that contains the class.
Refer the below link regarding the jarScan.

Exposing BPEL Human Workflow Activities in ADF

Hi All,
I want to have a clear idea on best practices/ ways on
"How to expose BPEL human workflow processes in ADF".
Do I need to create an ADF application where I can consume BPEL datacontrol.
or Do I need to manage ADF datacontrols with BPEL databases and create VO EO and create datacontrol.
What could be the best practice on exposing BPEL Human workflow in ADF.
Waiting for reply.
Regards,
Hoque

Hi Hoque,
you can create direct an ADF Task Form Projekt from your HumanTask Wizard. Cehck out this two links:
Implementing an Oracle ADF Task Flow for a Human Task - 11g Release 1 (11.1.3)
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28271_01/dev.1111/e10224/bp_tutorialhwf_.htm
Never access the SOA Suite databases directly, it is a bad practice.
best regards, Nicolas

Unable to check-in, check-out and workflow videos in an Asset Library

Hi All,
This may seem like a silly question but I have yet to find anything official about why you cannot check in/out video files in an Asset Library or workflow them. We have an approval workflow in our publishing environment which works great and I'm able to
check in/out and workflow images and even documents in an Asset Library but not Videos. We want videos to go through an approval process as well and I'm not talking about simple Content Approval, we want it to go through an approval workflow but check in/out
is grayed out/disabled and of course we can't workflow the videos.
I take it there must be some reason for this but I haven't been able to find an explanation. Any info you can provide me was to why this functionality is disabled would be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Lisa

Hi Lisa, it appears to me that Video content type do not have checkIn/Out feature as it derived from folder CT. You can use document library to upload video using document content type and then checkIn/CheckOut. Hope this helps.

Upgrade from 11i to R12 - Custom Forms,Reports and Workflows

Dear Community Friends,
We are planning for upgrade from oracle apps 11.5.10.2 to R12.
We have custom Forms,Form Libraries,Reports and Workflows.
Kindly provide me for approach on how to migrate Custom form libraries,reports and Workflows.
I beleive, this thread will exists as one shot point for custom forms,reports,workflow upgradation from 11i to r12 with detailed steps.
I know that many links exists here in the forum for all the above objects mentioned,but still from all those i am able to get a clear picture for oracle forms but not for custom form libraries ,reports and workflows.
Also,this post will provide a low level,practical picture of the steps for those who are in line with this.
Links i have read for all these in our forum are:
For Custom Forms,
Re: Planning to upgrade from 11i to R12
Re: Custom forms: After upgrading 11i to R12
ofcourse,'n' number of links exists providing metalink notes also.
Hussain,Helios and some others also has given many updates regd this.
For custom workflow upgradation,
Upgrade Workflow 11i to R12
Workflow Upgrade
Workflow Upgrade
For reports,links mentioned the below metalink notes:
Do Not Compile EBS R12 Reports Using rwconverter.sh or Reports Builder from IDS 10gR2 [ID 786794.1]
Using the OracleAS 10.1.2 Forms and Reports Builders with Oracle Applications Release 12 [ID 444248.1]
Per my understanding, after searching in many threads,i am here by summarising the practical low level steps for custom forms migration
Please correct me,if i am wrong.
1) Download the Forms(.fmb's) and all PLL's(all the PLL from resource folder in AU_TOP) into a Local Machine Folder
2) Open the forms using Forms Developer 10G and connect to DB
3) Compile by clicking compilein Forms Developer and then save it.
4) Upload the Saved Forms(.fmb's) into the new R12 server(system) in the respective custom paths(paths similar to 11i Server)
5) Compile all the forms using the command like below(example command is shown below or f60 gen commands or frmcmp.sh utility) in the respective custom form paths,
this will generate the .fmx's.
frmcmp_batch module=FORMNAME.fmb userid=apps/apps output_file=FORMNAME.fmx compile_all=yes
Link for compiling forms: https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/ui/km/SearchDocDisplay.jspx?_afrLoop=359210362972527&type=DOCUMENT&id=1085928.1&displayIndex=3&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=c348xvwbg_98
6) Open the form and check in R12 instance
As per my understanding for custom form libraries,we can just copy paste the PLL's from 11i server to R12 server (Please correct me,if i am wrong)
Can anyone please help me out in custom reports and custom workflows.Sorry that,i could not get a practical and clear picture for reports and also for workflow even after referring many threads and metalink notes mentioned.
As for reports,some says that Developer Suite 10g can be used and .rdf can be used in R12.
Some says that reports should be converted to XML published as reports does not exists in R12.
So,i am not clear on this.
Thanks,

Some says that reports should be converted to XML published as reports does not exists in R12.
So,i am not clear on this.You can still use RDF files in R12, and just follow the approach you mentioned above, and you do not have to migrate them to XML publisher (though it is recommended, but this can be done after the upgrade as an enhancement task).
For custom workflow, you need also to do the same thing, open them using workflow builder and make sure they work in R12 (correct the code if required and save them again in R12 once they work properly).

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">
<ns1:InputRequest>
<ns1:FirstName>abcdef</ns1:FirstName>
<ns1:LastName>aaaaaa</ns1:LastName>
</ns1:InputRequest>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>';
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.

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:
1. The BPEL process, using database polling feature of DB Adapter, will get the records from the database.
2. Transform the message
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.
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
Regards,
Dibya

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">

</RCMR_IN000002NR01>
</env:Body>
</RCMR_IN000002NR01>
</env:Body>
</env:Envelope>
Any help is appreciated.

Should have mentioned. I am using BPEL 10.1.3.4

I have opened a new thread for this question so as to not confuse the issue more than necessary.
How many SOAP envelopes do you really need?

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">
-<part name="summary">
<summary>

</bindingFault>
</bpelFault>
</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
