Conversion error in process flow

I've build a process flow with the following construction
1. Function call (DB) which returns a date via a OUT parameter (Checked)
2. Bound the OUT parameter to a Process-flow parameter of type date
3. Use the proces-flow parameter to bind a input parameter in a following mapping.
All is well in validation, generation and deployment, but upon running I stumble onto a conversion error. Somehow the process-flow parameter is represented in a format (2006-09-21 00:00:00.000000000 +02:00) which is not accepted in the mapping (tries to convert it using 'yyyy-mm-dd'). I cannot find the conversion in the coding.
I've tried to see if either in the mapping or in the process-flow I'm able to input the format of the date, but was not successful.
Anyone any idea

Chris,
Looks like a request has not got deleted properly from the table :
Options that you could look at :
1. Delete all the data from the ODS and load again ( if that is an option )
2. There are some entries you need to delete from the RSODSACTREQ table- but for this the suggestion would be to raise an OSS note for SAP to look into the same - we had a similar issue and raised an OSS note for the same and then got some notes from sap.
Also please mention your BI version and patch level.

Error during "Process Flow" deployment

Hello everyone,
I am having trouble deploying my first "Process Flow" object. I am using OWB 9.2 and WF 2.6.2 on Windows XP.
Here is the error I am getting:
RPE-02085: Failed to test wb_rti_workflow_util.initialize through deployed Workflow Database Link DSRD_QA.US.ORACLE.COM@WB_LK_WF_LOADS. Please check that "EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE" privilege is set and that the OWB Runtime is available.
- ORA-04052: error occurred when looking up remote object OWBRR.WB_RTI_WORKFLOW_UTIL@DSRD_QA.US.ORACLE.COM@WB_LK_WF_LOADS
ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
Here is what I have done so far based on what read in different posts on this forum (nothing seems to fix my problem):
o connect to SYS in the TARGET database (where OWF
schema was installed) and ran the following:
GRANT execute any procedure to owf_mgr
o I used "localhost" when I registered the WF object.
Then, as per one post, I changed it to "DNS name".
Did not help at all.
o Then, I tried to test the DB link (mentioned in the
error Msg above) and it DID NOT work. Then, as per
another post, I removed the part of host name that
appeared after the ".", i.e, DB.someplace.com to
DB. Then I ran a query using this DBLink and it worked
OK. Then I tried to deploy the WF object, it failed
with same error as above.
I am hoping someone will help me out on this issue - I have seen several posts with similar error messages and have tried almost all the solutions presented in there - nothing worked for me so far. Here is DB link definition:
ORIGINAL:
create public database link DSRD_QA.US.ORACLE.COM@WB_LK_WF_LOADS
connect to OWBRR identified by tiger using '(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=CENTENNI-4F4322.CENTENNIALCOLLEGE.CA)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=DSRD_QA)))'
Changed:
create public database link DSRD_QA.US.ORACLE.COM@WB_LK_WF_LOADS
connect to OWBRR identified by tiger using '(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=CENTENNI-4F4322)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=DSRD_QA)))'
NOTE: HOST was chanegd to just DNS name (part after the "." was removed). Changed DBLink works fine - original one does not.
Thank you all in advance for your time and reponse!

Amer

Hello Jean-Pierre,
I have tried almost what I could but I am still getting following errors when I try to deploy "process flow":
RPE-02085: Failed to test wb_rti_workflow_util.initialize through deployed Workflow Database Link OWB92TRG.US.ORACLE.COM@WB_LK_WF_PKG2. Please check that "EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE" privilege is set and that the OWB Runtime is available.
- ORA-04052: error occurred when looking up remote object [email protected]@WB_LK_WF_PKG2
ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
Most recent thing I tried was to run "catrpc.sql" script on the TARGET database using SYS.
I know you must be a very busy person but I would appreciate if you could try this in your env. Both my SOURCE and TARGET databases are local and I have installed all OWB and OWF repositories in the TARGET database. I have successfully deployed and executed OWB Mappings. Now I am stuck with OWF Process Flow deployment. This would perhaps be the last thing I need to do in order to be able to schedule ETL jobs through OWF.
All your help and time is highly appreciated.

Amer

Error registering Process Flow Location

Hi
I've installed OWB 9.0.4 and successfully registered
Process Flow Location.
Then i've added russian lang to Oracle Workflow Repository
After that when i try to register Process Flow Location
i get error: RTC-5327 Schema OWF_MGR does not contain an
Oracle Workflow Repository.
But i still able to deploy Process Flow Packages
using earlier created Process Flow Location.
Thanks

Vasily,
This sounds like the known bug 2836447: OWB REPORTS OWF REPOS NOT INSTALLED IF MULTIPLE LANGUAGES ENABLED. The bug was fixed in 9.2 and also should be in the next 9.0.4 patch (9.0.4.11).
The workaround for now is to run the following in Workflow Schema (owf_mgr):
update
WF_RESOURCES
set
NAME = NAME || '_' || LANGUAGE
where
TYPE = 'WFTKN' and
NAME = 'WF_VERSION' and
LANGUAGE <> 'US';
commit;
The following removes the workaround and restores the WF_RESOURCES table to their original state. This should be applied when the fixed OWB client has been installed.
update
WF_RESOURCES
set
NAME = 'WF_VERSION'
where
TYPE = 'WFTKN' and
NAME LIKE 'WF_VERSION_%' and
LANGUAGE <> 'US';
commit;

Hi Jean-Pierre,
Thanks for your help,
Grant WHAT to OWF_MGR user?
I couldnt find the package named 'WB_RTI_WORKFLOW_UTIL'
in OWF_MGR but I cound find 'WB_RT_WORKFLOW_UTIL' package in it.
Is this some problem in my OWF_MGR schema?
Any help will be greatly appreciated,

Error deploying process flows

hello, i'm trying to deploy process flows, getting this error. privileges on my workflow manager are set correctly but it looks like something is not ok with connection to database. workflow server looks ok and i can manage it through oracle workflow manager. everything else in owb works ok, i can deploy other objects with no problems.
this is only problem on my client computer, deployment works fine from server ?
any idea ?
already checked tnsnames, replaced host with ip, tnsping ok...

Hi,
Do you happen to use localhost to refer to the Oracle Workflow engine? You should use a DNS entry to refer to the Workflow engine. The way this works: when Warehouse Builder deploys to Workflow, it creates a database link back, using a DNS lookup to the machine. If you specify a non-DNS entry, then whatever comes back will be different from what you specified as a host name. This causes the problem. Please re-register the Oracle Workflow engine using a DNS name entry.
Thanks,
Mark.

Did you deploy the mapping via OWB? Did you deploy all locations needed? If going the headless route where you can manually deploy the PLSQL, there is a bug fix for something in this area - if memory serves me well.

Error in process flows

Hi,
I can't get rid of the following error when running my mappings through a process flow:
"connection reset by peer" .... result is that the mapping ends.
It happens when 7 mappings run parallel (forked in OWB).
This error particulary happens during the first 2 to 3 times after deploying a changed process flow.
We use OWB 9.2.4 on database 9i rel2 database.
Anyone familiar with this message? Any workarounds?
The message is without any ORA or PF number.
Thanks in advance,
Cees

I have found this problem myself,
the only workaround I found is to not run more that 5 mappings in parallel.
I speculate that this is caused by the amount off cursors that are opened to run everything in parallel,
If so, you might try to increase the parallel settings of your database.
cheers

Error validating process flow VLD-10010 after upgrade from 9i to 11gR2

Upgraded OWB from 9i to 11g, and after upgrade all the process flows where throwing the below error while validating
VLD-10010: DIM_COUNTRY_UI's bound object DIM_COUNTRY_UI of type PLSQL Map has been deleted.
After synchronizing the mapping to itself, this error goes off, but synchroinzing in GUI for more than 300 mapping is huge task.
Anyway to sychronizing in bulk in OMBPlus?
Thank for help

Getting Internal Error in Process flow

Hi,
I'm getting an Internal Error : class not found error in the process flow.
What i'm trying to do is, i'm changing one of the input values of the mapping in the process flow. When i try to change the value of the parameter in the Activity View, i get this error:
"Internal Error: class not found. Please contact Oracle Support with the stack trace and details on how to reproduce it."
For the other mappings inside a process flow i'm able to change the values in the Activity View.
I also deleted the mapping and re imported the same.But still i'm getting the same error.
Can any one please help me in this regard?
Regards,
Abhinav.

This should resolve this issue
Fix
Oracle policy recommends taking away the execute privilege on UTL_SMTP from PUBLIC. This takes away the privileges from SYSMAN as well. SYSMAN needs execute on UTL_SMTP and UTL_TCP to send notifications. Workaround:
1. Log into the repository database as sys:
grant execute on sys.utl_smtp to sysman
grant execute on sys.utl_tcp to sysman
2. alter package sysman.emd_notification compile;

Process Flow branches to Error, displays success in RAB

Hello,
I am calling a custom function from within a process flow in OWB. This function is performing some basic, customized validations after the mappings execute within the process flow. Depending on the result of the validation function, I want the process flow to branch to either Success, Warning, or Failure. The process flow is branching correctly based on the return code from the function. I can verify this from WorkFlow Manager. However, when I look at the execution of the process flow in the Runtime Audit Browser (RAB) it shows that the process flow completed successfully, regardless of what state it branched to. I would like for the process flow to be marked as either a warning or error in RAB, so that I can quickly identify what process flows failed the validation check perfomed by my function. How can I make RAB display these indicators? I'm running OWB repository version 9.2.02.0.
Thanks,
Justin

Mark,
Thanks for the reply.
In my process flow I have included all three ending activities. I have also checked that the correct condition is placed on the transition to the activity (i.e. on Error condition, branch to End Error) The process flow is following the correct branch depending on the code returned from my function. (Workflow Manager confirmed this for me) Regardless of the End condition, RAB indicates that the process flow completed successfully. When it ended in an error, I would have expected RAB to display the usual red 'X' by the process flow but it is not.
Thanks,
Justin

Process Flow errors in OEM Scheduler

Hi
I'm using OWB 10.1.03. I've created 2 process flows that load data from different sources. I have also set up a job schedule on Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) that runs a stored procedure. This procedure comprises two steps:
(1) Start a loop and check for a table flag. If flag set then Run Process Flow 1 (using
ret:= wh_runtime.wb_rt_api_exec.run_task('TARGET_LOC','PROCESS','WF_NAME','','',1)). Else keep looping until flag is set.
Then immediately after Process Flow has run,
(2) Start a loop and check for a different table flag. If flag set then Run Process Flow 2. Else keep looping until flag is set.
If there has been an error in Process Flow 1, the mapping completes with error and an email notification is sent. However, according to the stored procedure, Process Flow 1 has completed and it therefore moves onto Process Flow 2.
Is there a way of identifying if a Process Flow has completed with an error or warning, and therefore preventing the procedure moving onto step 2?
Thanks
GB

Hi
I managed to solve this by using part of the oem_exec_template.sql script within my stored procedure. I used l_audit_result to check the status of the workflow run and raised an exception if it was not a success.

Cannot deploy process flow package specification from file

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:

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 .

Nikolai,
I have created a simple process flow which only calls the external process. The script is on the same host as the process flow is deployed to.
I have used two diffent values for the command parameter.
1. I placed the full path of the file in the command parameter and left the script parameter blank:
COMMAND: /edwftp/ppas/scripts/ClearPPAS.sh
PARAMETER_LIST:
SUCCESS_THRESHOLD: 0
SCRIPT:
2.I placed the bash command in the command parameter and the full path in the script parameter.
COMMAND: /usr/bin/sh
PARAMETER_LIST:
SUCCESS_THRESHOLD: 0
SCRIPT: /edwftp/ppas/scripts/ClearPPAS.sh
Both of these appear to work as they print out the statements inside the script but the files that are supposed to be removed still remain.
