BPM PS5 Activity Guide & Milestone

Hi Everyone
As we know that BPM activity guide & milestone feature could help us to re-structure the process base on business. My question is:
How can I use this feature to re-structure two processes, for example a main process & a subprocess, and each one has its independent project scope. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Regards,
Jesse

Hi Durga,
Your problem was probably caused by something different than what I ran into, but by making sure there was some text and/or XPath expression in the Title fields of both the human task and the Interactive activity my problem went away and I was able to use the Activity Guide.
To get to the title field for the interactive activity, double click the activity in the process -> click the "Implementation" tab -> in the "Title" field, enter some text and/or an XPath expression.
Just make sure both the human task and the interactive activity title fields are not left blank.

Activity Guide tab not visible in BPM Workspace

I've deployed a simple BPM Process which consists of one Initiator and one User task. I've added both the activities to a milestone what I defined under the Activity Guide.
I've used JDeveloper 11.1.1.4.0 to develope the Process.
But after deploying the same in Server, I can't see the "Activity Guide" tab in the BPM Workspace.
Thogh I can see the activity guide available for editing in composer portal.
Please help me if you know how can I get the "Activity Guide" tab in the BPM Workspace?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Paulo,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
I kind of assumed that it's a feature of BPM 11.1.1.5 FP4 after going through a few articles on the web.
But I got confused when after visiting below provided url :
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bpm/learnmore/488809
Please see the statement "*In earlier releases, to use Activity Guide you had to perform some manual steps to create the Activity Guide Player inside Oracle BPM Suite – BPM Workspace.*" under "Enhancements to Activity Guide within BPM Workspace" section in the document presnt in the above mentioned url.
I couldn't find any manual steps which can bring the Activity Guide Player in the workspace anyways and your reply confirms that.
Thanks,
Sambit

Error when selecting Activity Guide item from BPM Workspace

Hi,
I've installed 11.1.1.6 SOA/BPM onto my local machine.
I've deployed an Activity Guide example. This loads fine when i create an instance, the GUI loads and i can see the process progress on the left hand side.
I have created my own test app and deployed it. I can see an instance in the Activity Guide List; however when selecting it the GUI doesn't load and i get an ADF error thrown.
I can view the task from the Task List and open the GUI just fine. It only seems to be when selecting it from the Activity Guide List that i experience the problem.
The error i can see in the logs is this:
Caused by: java.rmi.RemoteException: EJB Exception: ; nested exception is:

I've had the same issue with activity guides in 11.1.1.6 the last couple of days and thought I had been doing something wrong. Wish I'd seen your post sooner.
Guessing it's a bug - know there's a patch set out - perhaps it's fixed in that.

Activity Guide 11.1.1.4 & BPM Workspace Question?

Hi
Anybody have a simple document or demo on the Activuty Guide.
Also does it need Process Spaces or can it be shown with BPM Workspace.
Regards
Craig

I would expect more support in BPM Workspace for activity guide in a later ps/feature pack.
For now i think only api is available.

HI everybody ,
Please suggest where the bmp-services-client.jar will be available?

Oracle BPM Enterprise User Guide

I want to know about the importance of using Oracle BPM Enterprise.Can any one help where i can get the "Oracle BPM Enterprise User Guide" document.
Edited by: user613889 on May 7, 2010 3:16 AM

Here's where you can find all of the Oracle BPM 10g documentation: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13154_01/bpm/docs65/index.html
Oracle BPM Studio 10g
Oracle BPM Studio is the integrated development and test environment where business analysts and developers can create, document and simulate process models, integrate services, create business rules and logic and create end user interfaces. Projects built in Studio can be deployed to Oracle BPM Enterprise. Although Studio has a small database (Derby) and Tomcat environment, these are only used for rapid testing. Studio's end user Workspace looks the same as Enterprise, but is limited to the number of concurrent users and the Workspace login only has a user id field and no password because it is only used for rapid and iterative testing. As a result, you cannot and should not use Studio's Workspace as your production environment.
Oracle BPM Enterprise 10g
Oracle BPM Enterprise is the production environment. At its heart, it has an engine that manages and executes the business services according to rules in the designed process models. The platform supports high-availability, fail-over and backup capabilities for mission critical processing. The engine is J2EE compliant or can run separately on a standalone JVM. When run on a J2EE application server, the Engines can be clustered.
Work item instance information is automatically persisted in the Engine's database tables as the instances flow through processes.
Orchestrated processes running on the engine are automatically exposed as Web services and executed across both internal and external processes and other applications.
Oracle BPM Enterprise engines are managed through the Oracle BPM Process Administrator Console. This is a web-based client that enables administrators to monitor and administer the Engines remotely.
The Oracle BPM Enterprise engine is exposed via both a Java Process Application Program Interface (PAPI) and a web service API (PAPI-WS).

Activation Guide for new Verizon device - iPhone 4

I just received my new device by FedEx today, and there was not an activation guide included in the paperwork. Can this information be found somewhere on the Verizon website? I would rather not drive to the Verizon store to activate my phone.
Thanks!

Here's some info. Enjoy your new iPhone.

Activation guide?

I just received my new iphone 4s in the mail from Verizon. T'he literature that came with it says to read the activation guide but there is no guide in the box. If it is on line where do I go to find it. Or can someone walk me through setting the phone up?

From another phone call 800-922-0204 speak to customer service. It figures Verizon would not place the instructions in the box.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2748346?start=0&tstart=0
It also states its easy just going to a verizon wireless corporate store. go figure.

Missing Activation Guide

Just got my new phone, but there was no activation guide in the folder.
Same thing happened with the new phone my daughter got a few months ago.
The activation guide is never included.
I was able to get it figured it out, but please MAKE SURE ACTIVATION GUIDES ARE INCLUDED!
Thanks!

Activation how-to's are available on the VZW web site. On the upper right-hand side of the www.verizonwireless.com site, type in Activation Guide and the name of your device, then press the Search button.

I had activated guided access ,now i am unable to deactivate it by clicking home button thrice

i had activated guided access ,now i am unable to deactivate it by clicking home button thrice

I just had this same issue. Reboot the device by holding down the home and power button until the Apple logo appears and then let go of the buttons. Your device should reboot in Guided Access, but the home button should now work.

Exception is not showing in transformation step in BPM after activating

3. exception branc inside block
4. contorl step (Cancel process inside exception branch)

How to resolve this issue how
Please help me
Regards

2. transformation step ( Inside block mentioned block step exception)
Did you define the Exception Handler properly and also used the same in the Exception Branch? If you do a check in IR for your BPM (F7) do you get any error/ warning messages?

BPM Reporting Activity content extraction in ejb/enterprise app

Hello BPM experts,
I have a running BPM in our production system. And there are about 6000 users
who use the process.
The process has a reporting activity that collects all the possible failuers,
and successful event traces.
Now we want to build a controller app that uses jsps performing:
1. show all the data collected by the reporting activity objects.
2. show a list of all the process instances those have a status of suspended
3. and can cancel the processes by selection.
We plan to build the app based on ejbs those are accessed by jsps to
perform the 3 tasks mentioned above.
The reason that we want to build these apps is because the administrators
are system administrators and do not want to logon the NWAdmin gui.
So, guys, my questions are where do I find BPM apis, and other support
/ sap nw bpm dependency libraries / jar files ??
I highly appreciate your help and cooperations for this :-)
Best Regards,
Ajeet Phadnis

BPM Automated Activity: Technical User vs Named User

Hi Folks,
I've implemented a number of working BPM prototypes and now our customers are so interested they want us to implement a number of productive solutions for different process scenarios. Technically we all know that for the automated activity we can either use a logical destination or a service group which in both cases will mean a number of alternatives for authentication to the backend to execute the service operation in the automated activity. In our scenarios so far we have tested both approaches i.e. Service Group and Logical destination using a technical user for both cases (For SG, technical user in the physical system assigned to the SG)
My question is are you using a technical user to authenticate to the backend in either case or are you forwarding credentials of a named user involved in the specific process instance to be authenticated to the backend and in case of the latter how do you achieve this (apart from ensuring this user also exists in the backend)? The dilemma is if (by SAP agreement) we can use a technical user then what (apart from our ethics) stops us from only getting BPM licences and using a technical user(s) for most of our data maintenance transactions and by extension what prevents the same approach being used via non-SAP BPM tools (such as AquaLogic). I know there may be different arrangements specific to an organisation's license agreement and relationship with SAP but what is the general approach out there
Thanks for sharing your feedabck

BPM Issue: Active messages even though process has completed

Hi,
I have defined a BPM that receives an invoice xml message. If the invoice total is <= $500.00, the invoice is automatically submitted for posting in SAP (RFC Adapter).
If the invoice amount > 500 and approval request is send off and the process waits for the approval xml message to arrive (a receive step in the BPM)
Based on the approval status, the invoice is either posted or the process is cancelled (Using a correlation ID to ensure that correct invoice is approved or rejected)
To cancel the process, I have included a 'Control Step' with action = 'Cancel Process'.
My issue is that even thought my bpm completes successfully (verifiedby message status in sxmb_moni) there are still active work items in transaction swwl.
Can anyone offer assistance as to why I still have active work items even though the BPM has completed successfully.
Thanx in advance for any assistance.
Regards
Yackeen

Sending SIGKILL (kill -9 pid) to a process never gives it a chance to "clean up" before it terminates. Sending SIGTERM (kill pid) is better in most circumstances, unless the process is completely unresponsive. A properly coded program will quit gracefully upon receiving it.
