Cannot deploy process flow package specification from file

Question

Hi,
we are using owb 11gr2 on linux. We successfully managed to deploy mappings and tables into a specification file, and then deploy from that file into the target database (RAC). But when we try to deploy a process flow package we run into an error:
A process flow package can be deployed to a specification file. But a deployment from that specification file fails with the error: " OMB05623: Cannot deploy specification from file. Exception follows. nulll"
### SETUP
set CONN_DESIGN "xxx"
set CONN_TARGET_DESIGN "yyy"
set CONN_TARGET_RT "xxx'"
set DIR "D:\\tmp"
set RELEASE "V0_2"
set file "$DIR\\$RELEASE"
set plan "FILE_DEPLOY_$RELEASE"
### Deployment via control center: works!
OMBCONNECT $CONN_DESIGN
OMBCONNECT CONTROL_CENTER $CONN_TARGET_RT
OMBCC '/KLINGEL_DWH'
OMBCREATE TRANSIENT DEPLOYMENT_ACTION_PLAN '$plan'
OMBALTER DEPLOYMENT_ACTION_PLAN '$plan' ADD ACTION 'PF_TEST' SET PROPERTIES (OPERATION) VALUES ('REPLACE') SET REFERENCE PROCESS_FLOW_PACKAGE '/KLINGEL_DWH/WF_DWH/PF_TEST'
OMBDEPLOY DEPLOYMENT_ACTION_PLAN '$plan'
OMBDISCONNECT CONTROL_CENTER
OMBCOMMIT
OMBDISCONNECT
### Deployment via specificatin file: fails!
OMBCONNECT $CONN_DESIGN
OMBCONNECT CONTROL_CENTER $CONN_DESIGN
OMBCC '/KLINGEL_DWH'
OMBCREATE TRANSIENT DEPLOYMENT_ACTION_PLAN '$plan'
OMBALTER DEPLOYMENT_ACTION_PLAN '$plan' ADD ACTION 'PF_TEST' SET PROPERTIES (OPERATION) VALUES ('REPLACE') SET REFERENCE PROCESS_FLOW_PACKAGE '/KLINGEL_DWH/WF_DWH/PF_TEST'
OMBDEPLOY DEPLOYMENT_ACTION_PLAN '$plan' AS SPECIFICATION TO '$file.xml'
OMBDROP DEPLOYMENT_ACTION_PLAN '$plan'
OMBDISCONNECT CONTROL_CENTER
OMBCOMMIT
OMBDISCONNECT
OMBCONNECT CONTROL_CENTER $CONN_TARGET_RT
OMBDEPLOY SPECIFICATION FROM '$file.xml'
### OMB05623: Deployment von Spezifikation aus Datei nicht möglich. Exception folgt. null
###OMB05623: Cannot deploy specification from file. Exception follows. nullIf we use the operation DROP it works. But REPLACE and CREATE do not work.
We get the error regardless whether the code is executed as an expert or on the command line at a windows client.
Does anyone knows a workaround?
Deployment via a specification file is a must due to license and architecture requirements.
Thanks,
Carsten.

Its woked fine for me for OWB 10.2.0.4 .... some steps are missing from code like
when you are connecting again it should be
OMBDISCONNECT
OMBCONNECT CONTROL_CENTER $CONN_TARGET_RT
OMBDISCONNECT
OMBCC '/KLINGEL_DWH'
OMBCONNECT CONTROL_CENTER $CONN_TARGET_RTI think you can try the same on different system .
