Completing a BPM process activity externally via API

Does the new BPM 11g have a way to complete an activity from another application via API?
Thanks.
-muktech

Hi Muktech,
Currently there is no API for BPM 11g. There is an API for the human task but this will not be sufficient for completing a process activity.
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
Nils

Process AR Receipts via API

Dear Friends,
I have below few querys related to AR Receipts process via API.
1)     Can we change the receipt status (APPROVED  CONFIRMED REMITTED  REVERSED/ CLEARED) through any API? Any one can explain how it is happening in real world?
2)     Can we change the receipts accounting through any API. I want to mean here, the receipts GL accounts are defaulted from Receipt Method & MISC receipt activity (in case of MISC receipt). Can we change those defaulted accounts through any API?
3)     In case of MISC receipt can we populate the “Paid By” field thought the MISC receipt creation API?
Thanks & Regards

Queries regarding BPM Process

Hi All
I have some queries regarding BPM.Please respond.
Can we create / modify BPM processes using any Webservices / APIs available
Is it possible to edit template used for notification mails in BPM?
Do we have any way to transform BPM process design to standards like XPDL and BPMN. ?
Thanks

Hi Monika,
Regarding which version ob BPM is your question for notifications?
In NW BPM 7.11, you can not edit the text of the notifications, only the link to Task and UWL is configurable.
In NW BPM 7.2, there is a new type of Notification activity, where you have the freedom to edit the text of the notification, also to add dynamic variables from process context, but for the generic notifications(like "New Tasks") the functionality is the same as in NW BPM 7.11.
Please find a link to NW BPM 7.11 documentation for configuring Notifications.

Regarding BPM Object Retrieval in PAPI API

Hi,
I am using Oracle BPM10gR3 to develop BPM processes. I am having external connectivity of BPM processes with external Java application through PAPI API. I am having a BPM Object defined as "ApplicationObject" under Module which consists of instanceID and activityID. A instance variable is defined of this BPMObject type with Array i.e. insAppObject of type ApplicationObject[]. I have now loaded this instance variable with array length 5.
Now, I need to retrieve BPMObject[] in PAPI API which I am unable to perform. Usually, we do the following to load a BPM Object in PAPI API.
Class c = Class.forName("xobject.Module.BPMObject");
instanceinfo.getData("instanceVariableID");
To Retrieve BPMObject[], I have tried this but no luck.
Class c = Class.forName("[Lxobject.Module.BPMObject;");
Using this class, I am getting "Class Not Found Exception".
Can anyone suggest on the above.
Thanks in advance,
Abhishek

Hi Avishek,
There is workaround for this...you can save the instance as Object/DynaObj then go for toString() call that will give your biusiness object as XML msg in string format..from there you can extract a xml node value using x-path....i tried this once and worked for me....but i m not getting the code snipetnow ..else i would have pasted here....:(

BPM process interactive activity(JSP) - external webservice method interac

I am using Oracle BPM studio 10.3.1.0.
I have one external web service published on glassfish application server, I have introspected it in my BPM process using its WSDL.
Now one of my BPM process interactive activity is there, which is represented by one JSP, I am giving some input to my JSP.
I want this input to be passed to the web service method as a parameter, and it should fetch the output, so basically I want to invoke the web service method, could you please guide me how to do it?
Thanks & Regards
Ashish

Hy Ashih
I dont know if this is best way to do that, but I have a similar situation here, and I'm using AJAX do call the webservice method by BPM and retrieve data.
Something like this:
1 - Create the XMLHttpRequest() object in your jsp (if you need I have the entire code)
2 - Create the a JavaScript method for to call the OBPM method in your component
function mymethod(arg1, arg2, arg3)
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
                                                  if( xmlhttp.readyState==4 )
                                                       document.getElementById("AnyDIV").innerHTML = xmlhttp.responseText;
     var resp = "<f:invokeUrl var='YourComponenteName' methodName='YourMethodName'/>";
//Incude how many args your need here
     resp+="&arg1=" + arg1;
     resp+="&arg2=" + arg2;
     resp+="&arg3=" + arg3;
     xmlhttp.open("POST",resp,true);
     xmlhttp.send(null);
3 - You'll need a div html tag called "AnyDIV" to receive the BPM answer
4 - On you BPM component, in YourMethodName method (needs to be ServerSide = no), create two args, the first is httpRequest type (name request), and the second is httpResponse type (name response) (fuego lib)
5 - Type the code below in your BPM method to send info back to the JSP
//getting the args
String arg1 = request.getParameter(string : "arg1");
String arg2 = request.getParameter(string : "arg2");
String arg3     = request.getParameter(string : "arg3");
//Do the webservice call here, prepare the html answer and put it into an string variable
strReturn = "bla bla bla";
//Send the anwser back to the jsp
response.bodyTextContent(arg1 : strReturn);
Or you can do this using xml answer and deal with the tags with javascript
that's it

Initiating BPM Process Instances from External Web Service Call

I'm attempting to update the HelloWorld example so that I can create an instance of the process from an External Web Services Call rather than via the Workspace. Our current SOA Architecture is configured so that all BPM instances are managed through a .NET SmartClient via the Service Bus and the use of PAPI W/S and so I'm wishing to recreate this capability in the new BPM.
I understand the replacement for PAPI W/S is Human Workflow so I've therefore updated and republished the HelloWorld Example with an Exposed 'TaskService' Service for the Human Task within the BPM Process.
I've then attempted to reference the TaskService through our existing BPM, and have been able to import a number of generic WSDL's as follows:
Task Service
http://vmaquatestapp2:7001/integration/services/TaskService/TaskServicePort?WSDL
Task Metadata Service
http://vmaquatestapp2:7001/integration/services/TaskMetadataService/TaskMetadataServicePort?WSDL
Task Query Service
http://vmaquatestapp2:7001/integration/services/TaskQueryService/TaskQueryService?WSDL
When I examine the available operations for these generic services, there are quite a lot, each of which have a fairly complex schema. I believe I should be using the TaskService: InitiateTask Operation to create an instance of my BPM Process but my questions are:
- Is the above the correct method of interacting with BPM Instances from an external system such as the Service Bus?
- Does anyone have any examples of a basic XML payload that would initiate a process instance?

I created an process with a message start event and can call it from an external web service call. I can also pass input arguments and map those to process data objects. However I can not find how to return data as response to the external web service call as e.g. the process instance id.
Is it possible to this?

Can we call an Standard API from the BPM process

Hi,
Can we call a Public API from within a BPM Process. Can you please suggest the procedure for achieving the same.
Also wanted to know the procedure to insert into Standard Interface tables and called Standard Interface program to Create objects like Employees, Employee assignments, etc.
Please send any documents / writeup to achieve the above.
Thanks & Regards,
Murali

You will have to catalog the API (refer to the Studio help files for the details). Once you catalog the api you can use it in a method. The method can then be used in an activity in the process.

Wait for a message to proceed to the next activity in BPM Process??

Hi,
1. After a BPM process is initiated, is it possible to have a "Wait step" in the process ?...That is, I would like to continue to the next activity in the BPM process ONLY after I have received a certain message...
We do have a "Wait" step in ccBPM(PI) wherein , we could wait until a certain message is received(based on correlation) and then proceed to the next step....
Is this possible in BPM ???
There was a query similar to this in the forum :
Inter-Process Asynchronous Event
(or search for "Inter-Process Asynchronous Event " - Ingo Taraske)
and a suggestion was provided by David Conil which I didn't quite get...
Would be great if some one could throw more light on if this is possible in EhP1...Thanks.
Best Regards
Arun

Hi Arun,
In a nutshell, wait steps are not supported in EhP1. The workaround consists of splitting the process in two processes. In BPMN 1.1, wait steps are modeled using "Intermediate Message Events". The idea is to consider the intermediate message event as start event of the second process. The asynchronous aspect would be covered using PI.
Best regards,
David

Why does a BPM Process fail at the Start Activity?

Hello All,
We're currently working on a Dev environement (WLS 10.3), where we're experiencing issues with BPM Processes that fail at the start node. The error observed is a "Null Pointer Exception" despite there definteily being parameters passed into the process.
I've observed the trace in the EM after invoking the process and notice that the process fails as soon as it enters the start activity.
One of the possible explanations could be an out of memory issue. Has anyone experienced this before?
BPM : SOA Suite 11g.
Thank you.

If you have memory - issues, you should look at the Weblogic-logs.

Data objects supported in the BPM Process Composer by Activity ?

Hi,
In BPMN 2.0 normalization, data objects are artefacts which show the reader which data is required or produced in an activity.
How is the data objects supported in the BPM Process Composer?
Thanks,
Grégoire.

Select the activity and then select the Data Associations button. You can associate existing data objects and create new ones.

Substitute variables for external process activity in process flows

Has anyone used with success substitute variables such as ${Working.Rootpath} for external process activity?
I can't get it working. Variables aren't substituted and my scripts fail.
Sample value for parameter_list parameter for external process I use is:
|${Working.Rootpath}|
and in the script I get:
${Working.Rootpath}
which is of course not what I expected.

In documentation is Working.Rootpath so there is a bug in documentation. It is ugly because it's hard to guess.
Thank's for your reply Michael. I checked all that you described. Previously I had Working location set to "Use default location". When I changed it to actual location substitute variables started to work properly.
If I correctly understand "Use default location" means: use location associated with process module. And for execution it works but for substitute variables doesn't. So I think it is a bug.
Next thing is variables in the script itself. From examples sent by Mark (script: cd ${Working.RootPath}...) they should be set in environment and accessible to shell. This doesn't work for me but it is not described in documentation and can be easily achieved by passing parameters. So that's not a problem.
One more question: Should I open tars and file bugs describing what we found?
