Configuring BPEL Worklist Actionable Email

Hello,
I have created a sample work flow and included a User task in that. I am trying to make the email notificaton as actionable one and configured the ns_emails, wf_congif and pc.properties file accordingly. When i initiate the task, I do able to get the email notification with the Approve and Reject options in the email. but when i click on that an email is going to the from account but the task initiated is still in pending status.
I have tried the above approach in the following versions:
SOA 10.1.3.4 -- mail (web mail -- yahoo)
SOA 10.1.3.1 -- mail (MS Outlook)
Could you please let me know where I am lacking or do i need to still set any settings for this.
Thanks in advance,
Siva.

CAn you please post wf_config, and ns_email.xml?
just want to check that the actionableEmailAccountName has been set correctly
Also you don't modify the email in any way do you?
cheers
James

Configuring BPEL Actionable Email

Has anyone configured ns_mails.xml to use gmail account?
I have gotten the actionable email to work with other accounts but not gmail. It seems that it cannot recognize the "Inbox" folder. The error log states that it cannot find the Inbox folder. Does gmail uses a different name for the "Inbox". I've tried [Gmail]/All Mail, All Mail, [Gmail]/Inbox but no luck.

Hi
I checked the checkbox {Make Email Messages Actionable}.
Following is my task definition file.Plss have a look.
<notification includeTaskAttachments="true" actionable="true"

Response not coming to BPEL process from the actionable email

Hello Helping hands,
I created a HumanTask workflow with actionable email.
In the email I get from the HT workflow process, it has 3 links
2-OUTCOMES list links (Eg:APPROVE,REJECT)
1-worklist application
If I update the task through worklist, the process is getting completed successfully.
But the problem is with the actionable email, if I move the mouse over APPROVE or REJECT the following msg gets displayed in the status bar
mailto:?subject=My Subject&body=NID:iBeS8jSTsA7vOx+ULF3+dJ7/e1fbklcDLkGHlkj38emd71NnzMgQMN89C0RxaPzu2PPgelhp+hv6sk+uwL1DYQ==:NID<p>Comments [[ ]]
When I click the outcomes link, it opens a new email window without any to address.
Advice me how to get the response from the actionable email to the BPEL process.
Regards
VP

I had faced a similar issue.
When the bpel process is initiated you will get an email to the configured email id's inbox.
Make sure you reply to the mail from the same email account.
Example : If the email comes to [email protected] id , make sure you reply from the same id.
Hope this works for you

Actionable emails with MS Exchange Server

Using Exchange for e-mail, and my understanding is that we must enable IMAP/POP3 email on our Exchange server to get the BPEL actionable e-mails to work. But my Exchange experts strongly advise against us turning on these types of messages, at least on our main Exchange server. It is a global setting, and apparently one which creates numerous security risks.
Attempting to configure actionable emails with MS Exchange Server as the email system. Does this require enablement of IMAP/POP3 on the Exchange Server to get actionable emails to work? Specifically, for the EmailAccount/IncomingServerSettings within the ns_emails.xml file, what configurations are required when the email system is Exchange Server?
I'm looking to confirm or deny this configuration requirement for MS Exchange Server.
Thanks,
Tim

Oracle BPEL Worklist application as a remote portlet in ALUI portal

Hi,
I am integrating the Oracle BPEL sample worklist application as a remote portlet in ALUI in a community page.
I have 2 urgent queries...and desperate to look for a resolution...
1) On opening the page where the remote portlet is placed ,it is very very slow to open the firt login screen in IE6.However the page is loading fast in IE7 or netscape.Every time the login page is hit we need to refresh the page to load it quickly..
2)on thewebservice configuration section for portlet -- > http Configuration ,I have created a gateway and added our Oracle BPEL worklist context to gateway the request.There is a option like Inline refresh..
a)If inline refresh is unchecked ,the BPEL worklist is not retaining the portlet nature like minimize ,maximize and the top community navigation is lost.
b)however if inline refesh is checked..The portlet nature is retained ,however there is javascript error coming in the page which is not allowing some of the vanilla features of BPEL worklist is working properly like clicking some buttons and taking actions...
Is this some configuration to be made in the ALUI side or some thing else...Please let me know if there is any solution to this...
Regards
Ashif

Now I am able to display the initial page of the remote portlet. However, when I try to do some operations I m running into one more issue:
[WSRP-Consumer:420733]No markup received from the producer [oraclePortal_producer] for portlet with portletHandle[E:3:default].
Is there anything futher I need to do?

Ansuman

Modifing actionable email body

I am able to configure the actionable emails in the BPEL. So as soon as the task appears in the human task, the email is sent to respective user's email id with the actions in it.
User just has to click on the action and the email will be sent to SOA server to take particular action.
Now the problem is i want user to see only few actions in the email.
e.g. my human task is having multiple outcomes like approve, reject, cancel and request for information.
Now by default, actionable email will have all the actions in it.
i wan to restrict it to only Approve and Reject.
However i do not want to remove other options (outcomes) from BPEL human task.
How do i do this?
Regards,
Vikrant Korde.

Facing the same issue ...Please let me knw if u have fixed it?

BPEL deleted all emails form Inbox

Hello
I configured Actionable Email for BPEL Human workflow. I gave all my email server details inside the ns_emails.xml file. ( Under <IncomingServerSettings> )
But upon restart of BPEL server I saw that my email Inbox folder became empty and I believe BPEL server's email listener have read all my emails and deleted them from Inbox folder.
Well good news is its reading but bad part is I lost my all email :(
Is there a way we can tell BPEL server not to delete the incoming emails while listening on particular email account ? I can see that there are some options inside the <IncomingServerSettings>.
Like , <PostReadOperation>
<MarkAsRead/>
</PostReadOperation>
What is the significance of PostReadOperation ? What could be the possible values ? I had hard to find ANY documentation on this.
Thanks
/Mishit

Yeah you are correct, I am using POP3. I have heard about IMAP protocol too but I was not aware of the difference between POP3 and IMAP.
So this means with IMAP BPEL server doesn't delete the emails from Inbox and so at the same time we should be able to see those emails through any client application.
Thanks for your reply.

Problem in setting up Actionable Emails

Hi
Hope you are doing fine
I'm finding problems in setting up Actionable emails in Human Tasks.
The mails are coming fine, with approve/reject buttons, but when I click on either of those buttons and send the email, nothing is hapenning. The same, when done using workspace is working fine.
So I think this is something to do with the configuration.
Before setting up the configuration, I have the foll details
OutgoingMailServer, port
IncomingMailServer, port, userName(say ActionableAccnt), pwd (which I'm using for actionable email)
Here is my setup:
In email driver notification under UMS
Sender Address : [email protected]
Default Sender Address : [email protected]
provided outgoingMailServer, port, incomingMailServer, port, username, pwd
And setting in Workflow Notification Properties
From Address : [email protected]
Actionable Address : [email protected]
ReplyTo Address : [email protected] (this is a dummy address)
Please note that in every emailId entry except the replyToAddress, I've used the same valid emailId [email protected]
Is this ok? I'm ok even if the replyTo and actionable addresses are same.
I've restarted the server. But its not working.
Did I miss something here?
I've gone through the documentation, some blogs, but could not find any.
Would you please help me in this regard.
Thanks in Advance

Oracle BPEL Worklist application on Tomcat

Can the default BPEL worklist application be deployed to Tomcat? Has anyone tried that or instructions listed out some where?
We would like to deploy the web tier deployed to a seperate Tomcat box (web tier includes a web application developed, oracle bpel worklist application)
Thanks

Thank you. I am not sure how to have wf_config_client.xml correctly defined and deployed. Can this be elaborated a little more please?
I tried to deploy the worklist application supplied in the samples. I ran into a lot of exceptions and continued to add the runtime libraries as needed. I followed some of the applicable instructions under 16.5.1.5 of BPEL Developer's guide as well.
I can see the login page of the worklist after this struggle, but when I try to login it comes back to the same page. I see a exceptions thrown on the tomcat console.
I think main errors that catch my attention are:
1. Invalid configuration file wf_config.xml ORABPEL-30028
2. Error in invoking user metadata service ORABPEL-30720
I really appreciate any help to go forward.
Thanks.

Configuring BPEL to Run in Oracle AS 10g?

Hello,
I am looking for a document or instructions for configuring BPEL PM (either Eclipse or JDev versions) to run in Oracle AS 10g. Any help is greatly apprciated.
Regards,
Sean

Please send a mail to [email protected] for the same. We will try sending you some draft version of the document.

Actionable emails from oracle BPM.

Hello All ,
I am trying to use actionable email notifications from oracle BPM .
Steps i have taken so far
1) Marked notification on Human Task as "Actionable items "
2) Mentioned valid email address in - Select SOA Administration > Workflow Task Service Properties - "Actionable email account"
Result achieved after doing these configurations
When clicked on Actions received in email like say Approve (using outlook) , one email reply gets created with id in "to" same as what mentioned in Workflow Task Service Properties .
Content "reply" of email as below -
==========================
Add comments by editing the text between the brackets in 'Comments' section.
Comments: [your comments]
You can also add attachments to the task by attaching them to this email.
-----Do not edit below this line-----
Approve : [[NID]] : 7kv0yUvSKkmbKbPn0ohu0I9CwHUfBhuTIAmKc3wwEcWCaJhUj9Qolyhu/ul3OttwnJSavULLMytHnsD7dakQAbzLyZS6C4PAgBO%2BsmgVzFwNGn1LevYmcLnRgKVJlevY : [[NID]]
==========================
My question here is how Actionable emails are supposed to work - should they change the status of task directly when clicked on approve/reject (no log in on BPM)
or should they notify somebody with status and then somebody should log in and do the change ?
Anybody used actionable email please help us out here ..
Thanks
Rupesh

Hi Rupesh
1. First in Task Properties you check the box Actionable Email which you already did.
2. You also need to configure some valid email addresses and set email details like email server name etc. From EM Console, soa-infra -> Right Click -> SOA Adminstration -> Workflow Notification Properties. In this first in drop down box, select Email. Then in 3 fields below give valid email addresses something like:
From Address: [email protected]
Actionable Address: [email protected]
Reply To Address: [email protected]
These email accounts should be valid and exist in your email exchage server.
Now in the same screen on the top click on the link named "Go to messaging driver page" and on that screen on right side click the buton under Configure Driver and give email details like outgoingmailserver, incomingmailserver, the incoming mailid, incoming userid etc.
Only after doing this, you can Approve/Reject (Take actions) directly from Email.
Refer the online docs for more details.
Example: http://technology.amis.nl/blog/6019/configure-soa-suite-11g-for-sending-email-notifications-with-google-mail

Problem getting custom workflow to work with BPEL Worklist

I am currently working through the DocumentReviewWorklow custom workflow example in the Oracle Content Services 10g Custom Workflows document and cannot get the workflow to prompt approvers through the BPEL Worklist application that an action must be taken.
When I run the workflow, the process gets to the point of calling the TaskActionHandler and the approver is told that a process is pending their approval in the Content Services Console.
The following appears in the BPEL Process Manager when I Audit the workflow:
onMessage (137) - pending
[2006/03/20 08:57:42] Waiting for message from "TaskManagerService", operation is "onTaskSuspended".
onMessage (126) - pending
[2006/03/20 08:57:42] Waiting for message from "TaskManagerService", operation is "onTaskUpdated".
onMessage (118) - pending
[2006/03/20 08:57:42] Waiting for message from "TaskManagerService", operation is "onTaskErrored".
onMessage (110) - pending
[2006/03/20 08:57:42] Waiting for message from "TaskManagerService", operation is "onTaskWithdrawn".
onMessage (102) - pending
[2006/03/20 08:57:42] Waiting for message from "TaskManagerService", operation is "onTaskCompleted".
onAlarm (161) - pending
[2006/03/20 08:57:42] Alarm started. Alarm will go off at time "2006/03/22 08:57:42".
onAlarm (156) - pending
[2006/03/20 08:57:42] Alarm started. Alarm will go off at time "never".
onAlarm (151) - pending
[2006/03/20 08:57:42] Alarm started. Alarm will go off at time "never".
After a period of time, the workflow eventually times-out because it is neither approved or disapproved. I have got the other non-blocking custom workflow examples to work without any problems.

Thanks bnainani, you solved my problem!
Despite the fact that the approver's username is in the Oracle Collabortion Suite OID as all lower case letters (and you can still login to worklist with lower case letters), you were right in saying that you have to use all upper case letters when logging into the worklist application in order to see the pending tasks.
Just out of curiousity, do you have any idea why worklist requires upper case letters for the username?

Actionable email not working

Hi Guys,
Following are 3 files I modified to make actionable email working.
ns_emails.xml :
<EmailAccounts xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/ias/pcbpel/NotificationService" EmailMimeCharset=""
NotificationMode="EMAIL">
<EmailAccount>
<Name>MyTest</Name>
<EmailAccount>
</EmailAccounts>
wf_config.xml:
<actionableEmailAccountName>MyTest</actionableEmailAccountName>
pc.properties:
oracle.tip.pc.services.hw.taskservice.ActionableEmailAccount=*MyTest*
After all these changes, I restarted the entire services, oc4j_soa is not coming up.
If I make <actionableEmailAccountName/> tag empty in wf_config.xml file, everything is coming up fine.
Error in log:_
<default.collaxa.cube.services> <IASWDriver::loadSupportedChannels> Cannot connect to iAS Wireless notification webservice.
<ERROR> <default.collaxa.cube.services> <IASWDriver::loadSupportedChannels> Cannot connect to iAS wireless notification webservice running at http://messenger.oracle.com/xms/webservices
Guide me what I did wrong.

Do you see any errors in OH/opmn/logs when you try the above?

but when I tried email activity it was working fine now it says some error.

BPEL worklist and matrix organization

We are using 11g oracle bpel worklist. We are using the active directory(AD) provider for our users. In our AD each user has a manager.
Here is the problem:
- in most of our bpel human tasks we need to use a manager hiearchy that is different from the one in AD. We have not been able to find any way of doing this in BPEL (worklist).
-The BPEL worklist seems to only support one security provider. We are therefore not able to have different manager hiearchy for different human tasks.
- Is it at all possible to solve this problem with the current BPEL worklist.

Hi Pucha,
In the file system-jazn-data.xml, I can find the new realm added by me.
I reset the new realm to orabpel / hw_services / ruleauthor / ccore/ .......
Then, I restart the server, create new AS and IS connection.
However, I still cannot find the new realm name in the dropdown list of Human task in Jdeveloper.
How to find the new realm in Jdeveloper? Did I miss something?
I also create a new instance, new realm, new roles, new users, new AS connection, and IS connection. But I still cannot find the new realm in the dropdown list in the human task of Jdeveloper.
Thanks.
