Create Process via Global Automatic activity

Hi!
I´m trying to automatize some process, that can auto-execute one time at a day. For this, i'm thinking of use the global automatic activity, and I 've scheduled to execute (for testing) every minute. But this never happends
If the global has no bp.Method inside, obviusly, nothing happends. Hence, when i wrote this code:
logMessage "Se ha iniciado el proceso de consulta de calendario a las:" +'now'
using severity = INFO
ProcessInstance.create(processId : "/ConsultarCalendarioCompras", arguments : null, argumentsSetName : "")
how could i solve this?
Thanks

Hi,
Are you seeing your log INFO statement in the log file every minute? Assuming you are, I think all you're missing is a valid value for the third parameter. Try changing your logic to this:
ProcessInstance.create(processId : "/ConsultarCalendarioCompras",
arguments : null, argumentsSetName : "BeginIn")
. . .Once you get this working, take a look at this thread for information on how to pass in argument variables into the work item instance using the second parameter: Re: How to create Instace of another process from running process.
Hope this helps,

Exception when begin process via Global Automatic JMS task

I have a process that works when I invoke it via a global creation task. However, when I try to invoke it automatically via a global automatic task listening to a JMS queue, I get the following exceptions and the instance fails.

Hi,
Sure this is just my confusion, but if I'm reading this correctly, you're trying to use an instance variable in a Global Automatic.
If this is the case, I know this sounds odd, but you don't have access to instance variables inside a Global Automatic. You can create an instance inside the logic of one of these activities if you call the Fuego.Lib.ProcessInstance method "createInstance". For this method you'll notice that one of the parameters it expects is a Any[String]. You'll need to populate this hash table to set instance variable in the instance you're creating.

Global Automatic Activity - Process to Process

Hi,
How can we invoke another process from one process using a Global automatic activity..Is PAPI the only way? How can we use PAPI code inside of a Global Automatic Activity to call another process?v Any examples?

I am not sure what you saying..Did u mean Global Creation ? But that would have a user to invoke the process..I want to invoke it automatically...I got a part of the answer...But it takes all instances..and creates multiple instances..I want to isolate the instances previously been transferred..What I am doing is ..Using a Global Automatic to invoke the other process.Writing a PAPI code to call the other process from this process...and Polling By Interval every 1m..
Here is a code:-
ProcessService ps;
ps.connectTo(url : Fuego.Server.directoryURL, user : (String)BusinessParameter.getValue(name : "USER_NAME"), password : (String)BusinessParameter.getValue(name : "PASSWORD"));
logMessage("Process Service connected--->" );
businessProcess = ps.getProcess(process : "StartProcess");
InstanceFilter instanceFilter;
instanceFilter.create(processService : ps);
SearchScope searchScope = new SearchScope(ParticipantScope.ALL,StatusScope.INPROCESS_AND_COMPLETED);
instanceFilter.searchScope = searchScope;
result2 = businessProcess.getInstancesByFilter(filter : instanceFilter);
logMessage("Length ==>" +length(result2));
length = length(result2);
logMessage("Length Transferred==>" +length);
test["name"] = "testing";
if(length > 0)
     for(int i=0; i < length; i++)
          ProcessInstance.create(arguments : test, argumentsSetName : "BeginIn");
else
     logMessage("length is-->" + length);
length = 0;
Any suggestions on how to isolate the previous obtained instances would be appreciated..

Trigger a Begin event running Global Automatic activity

Hi
I have a situation explained as follows:
The BPM Process flow would be triggered when a message comes into a JMS Queue.
I have configured the JMS Messaging Service as an external resource and used a Global Automatic Activity as an Automatic JMS Listener to listen on that queue.
Once the message is received on the queue, I want my actual process flow to be instantiated and activities following the begin activity to be executed.
In the Studio Reference document, it is mentioned that
You can trigger a Begin event running Global Automatic activity.
Can someone tell me the steps to trigger the Begin Event from Global Automatic Activity and create the process instance.
Thanks

You have to call this method
ProcessInstance.create(arguments : args, argumentsSetName : "BeginIn")
Args is Any[String] where you put you input arguments that you have in your begin activity and BeginIn is the set of arguments you have in the begin activity.

Transfer value from global automatic activity in Aqualogic BPM Suite

Hi, I am new to Aqualogic BMP suite and stuck with the following problem :
In aqualogic bpm suite, if we are setting some values to some variables in a global automatic activity in a process how to get those values back in some other activities (say an Interactive activity) in the same process or how to assign the values to some instance variables in the Begin activity ??
We have a scenario where we are creating some process instances from the Global Automatic activity using the following :
args["name"] = abc
create ProcessInstance using parameters = args
Now how to get the value "abc" and assign this value to an instance variable in the Begin activity(/access the value "abc" in an interactive activity)within the same process.
Thanks,
Suman.

Hi,
Let's say you have an Argument Set defined in your Begin activity called BeginIn. The arguments in this Argument Set can be "a", "b" and "c" of type String, Int and boolean accordingly.
If you want to use the ProcessInstance.create method, then you would need to have a PBL script like this one:
args[] = [ "a" : "SomeStringLiteral", "b" : 1234, "c" : true ];
ProcessInstance.create(processId : "/MyProcess", arguments : args, argumentsSetName : "BeginIn");

Process creation using Global Automatic Activity - OBPM 10g

Hi, I would like create the process instance for my application on every 2nd business day of a month. I also have a calendar defined for checking business day. But I am unable to figure out to how use that calendar to determine second business day of any month. Global Automatic type is set to Automatic schedule and monthy option was selected. But I believe this would trigger the process on every second day of the month, without considering the fact whether its business day or not. There is Runs on Holidays checkbox, but not sure what it really does. If it checks for holidays then which calendar does it refers to. Hence, please let me know how can i specify a calendar or any alternate solution to trigger process creation. Thanks, Namit

A few process instances in automatic activity simultaneously

Hi
I am creating and initiating new process instance using Global Creation activity. I have put screenflow in Global Creation. An instance after completing the screenflow in Global Creation activity goes to BeginIn of the process. When I test it many times I get only from time to time warning:
Instance '/BackgroundUpdate#Default-1.0/157/0@xxx' is not in activity '/BackgroundUpdate#Default-1.0/doUpdate'.
Details: Instance is in activity '/BackgroundUpdate#Default-1.0/WaitToProcessNextPackage' and has status 'RUNNING (1)'.
"doUpdate" and "WaitToProcessNextPackage" are activities (automatic components) placed after Begin in the process ("doUpdate" is subsequent for BeginIn and "WaitToProcessNextPackage" is subsequent to "doUpdate" activity). When I get this warning no logic is executed for the process instance in "doUpdate" activity.
How to solve it? Only one process instance created with Global Creation activity can be in one automatic activity? If there two process instances simultaneously in automatic activity, then one them won't be processed?
Thank you in advance
Regards
Peter

what does they means by service thing here,,,,and how do we specify it? or use it?
Any application running in Oracle RAC clusterware is considered as a service. What is a service in the windows,its kinda same. If its a part of RAC and an application and running,its service.
Read from here about services,
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14220/mgmt_db.htm#sthref2266
If you don't know RAC yet, better is to leave it.Its the core of RAC if you ask me.
does resource_consumer_grp and Service name parameter in job class definition are mutual exclusive?or not
Did you check in the docs for the same?

Global automatic activity's HTTPS listener

Bea help is appreciated
Thanks guys

You have to call this method

Create Process Instance via DB insert?

I would like to have a DB insert kick off a process instance.
I am an ALBPM novice, but I'm guessing the solution would involve a DB insert trigger (Oracle) and a PAPI ProcessServiceSession.createProcessInstance() call.
Does anyone know how to put it all together?
Edited by jabize at 05/20/2008 7:36 AM

You can do this way:
1. Let the DB trigger insert a new row into a (new) table.
2. Create a Global Automatic Activity (Type - Polling by Interval) in your process and set it up to poll for regular intervals, for example every 10 min...
3. Catalog that table (or SQL Query) into ALBPM
4. Write code for this global activity to read records from that table and create new Process Instance for each row found and delete this record.
Thanks,

Invoke subflow from method implementation of automatic activity

Hi,
I am able to invoke a process from automatic activity (Process Creation), but if I want to invoke it as a subflow i.e. (calling process wait for sub flow to return and the sub flow send back the result to the calling process), how can I do that. If any body has done that please let me know the steps. Actually my requirement is to call a process as subflow from screenflow automatic activity.
If this is not possible can I call a procedure from screenflow automatic activity.
Regards,
Ketan

Hi Ketan,
If you're forced to use PBL to create an instance in another process from an Automatic task inside a screenflow and then have the child spawned synch back with the parent process, here's an approach you could take.
1) Downstream in the parent process add Notification Wait activity where you want the child subprocess to return to the parent when it completes. You'll need to define the argument variables in this activity that you want mapped back.
2) In your child process, add an automatic activity as the last step in your process. Inside this Automatic activity, have it send a notification via PBL to the corresponding Notification Wait activity in the parent process and have it pass the argument variables you want returned to the parent process.
Hope this helps,
Dan

Webservice vs JMS in Global Automatic

Hi all,
My client wants to automatically initiate a process after receiving some information from a web service. I have to use a Global Automatic activity to do so. I understand that the Global Automatic activity has an option to listen to an automatic JMS message and trigger/start/initiate the process..
But the global automatic activity has no option to trigger/start/initiate the process after receiving some information from a web service. Can this be done irrespective of whether the Global Automatic activity has the option or not? Or do I have to only use JMS message to trigger the process?

Polling or JMS Message in Global Automatic

Hi,
I am currently working on a process which uses a Global Automatic activity to invoke a process instance. The process instance is invoked when the process receives some ticket information ( ticket id, type of ticket, customer name etc.) from an external application. This information is passed to the process using a web-service.
Now, I am confused whether to use JMS message or Polling by Interval inside of the Global Automatic acitivity to receive the message with the ticket information. Could anyone please suggest..
Also does anybody have an example of invoking a process instance after receiving a JMS message...?

HI!!!
In this URL of the Glorius bea.edocs.com, there is an example about working with JMS

Create new instance through global interactive activity

Hi All,
I have a requirement where when instance is completed, I need to provide a link at instance end through global interactive activity. Once user clicks on that activity a screen appears where user clicks on button and new instance should be created.
Now the problem is I tried notifying the main process and then use process creation activity to create instance but this cannot be used as instance is already completed.
Second approach i used is processinstance.create method. But new insatnce is not getting created. Also i m not getting any exception.
Please reply as this is very important requirement.
Regards,
Yasmin

Create a new instance before the END activity is executed..
After the screenflow for the global activity pass a variable to collect the button value on ON CLICK..
If button value = true, then call a sub-process else END.. The sub-process does not need any Global activity to start the process . The values would be passed from the BEGIN activity of the sub-process itself.

Invoke process from method implementation of automatic activity

Hi,
I want to invoke a business process from automatic activity of another business process deployed on same engine and in same project as well. Please provide steps, if possible for the same.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ketan,
Here's how you can create an instance in a process using logic in an Automatic activity's method. This uses the "Fuego.Lib.ProcessInstance.create()" method shown below inside a process:
// "args" is an associative string array (Any[String])
argsIn as Any[String]
// this assumes that the Begin activity has two argument variables
// named "nameArg" and "amountArg" and you're setting them
// to the variables "name" and "amount" respectively
argsIn["someArgVarName"] = "Hello"
argsIn["someBpmObject"] = myBpmObject
// logic here to determine the name of the process to create an instance in
idOfProcess as String
idOfProcess = <hard coded string that has the id (not the name of the process to instantiate>
ProcessInstance.create(processId : "/" + idOfProcess, arguments : argsIn, argumentsSetName : "BeginIn") ProcessInstance is in the Catalog inside Fuego.Lib.
The processId parameter (the "idOfProcess" variable in the above logic) is the thing I most commonly screw up with this. It is the text you see when you right mouse click the process in the Project Navigator tab -> "Properties". Look at the value in the "Id" field and not the "Name" field here (the name without any space characters). Prefix it with a "/" as is shown here and if you've deployed this using an organization unit (OU) then prefix this to the string also.
The third parameter is almost always "BeginIn". Begin activities in a process can have many incoming argument mappings, the default is "BeginIn". To see yours, double click the process's Begin activity and look at the mapping's name in the upper left corner of the dialog.
"argsIn" is the set of incoming argument variables you want passed into the process. A common mistake is to type in the names of the incoming argument variables without the double quotes like this:
// this will *NOT* work
argsIn[someArgVarName] = "Hello"
argsIn[someBpmObject] = myBpmObject
. . .Here is the correct syntax:
// this *WILL* work
argsIn["someArgVarName"] = "Hello"
argsIn["someBpmObject"] = myBpmObject
. . .In this example, the process has two argument variables. It does not matter if the incoming argument variables are primitive type arguments (e.g. String, Integer, Decimal...) or BPM Objects, it is always done the same way. In this example, there is a String incoming argument called "someArgVarName" and a BPM Object incoming argument called "someBpmObject".
Hope this helps,
Dan
