Custom Workflow - BPEL - delete registered policies

Hi all,
I am trying to set up a custom workflow with the Oracle Beehive Custom Workflow Tutorial.
After some difficulties I finally succeeded in deploying the BPEL-process. Only the integration with beehive does not (yet ;-)) work correctly.
I need to redeploy the policy, since I would like to change the triggering eventtype. My first trial was to just add the policy once again - but it failed with 'A policy with the same name already exists.' Now I was trying to delete the policy - but that failed with 'No entity found the the given bodn'. 'Beectl list_policies' does not show my policy.
How can I ever delete or lookup my registered policies?
Thanks for any help.
Regards,
Bettina

Hi Nickw..,
Sorry for the multiple repeated updates... it happened because of the slow internet connection
I am able to get the Worklist task now, but only for the CAPS lettered Users..!!
The Audit section in the BPEL Console for this process looks like:
<NAME>IFS_MESSAGE_SUBJECT</NAME>
<VALUE>Checkout Request 88731 submitted in Content Services</VALUE>
<DATATYPE>STRING</DATATYPE>
</PARAMETERLIST_ITEM>
<PARAMETERLIST_ITEM>
<NAME>IFS_REJECT_MSG</NAME>
<VALUE>Choose No to Reject the request.</VALUE>
<DATATYPE>STRING</DATATYPE>
</PARAMETERLIST_ITEM>
<PARAMETERLIST_ITEM>
<NAME>IFS_ECM_WORKFLOW_OWNER</NAME>
<VALUE>ORCLADMIN</VALUE>
<DATATYPE>STRING</DATATYPE>
</PARAMETERLIST_ITEM>
<PARAMETERLIST_ITEM>
<NAME>IFS_MESSAGE_HEADER</NAME>
<VALUE>A Checkout Request has been submitted in Content Services. You are listed as a responder for this request. Your response is requested. Request Details: Requester : ORCLADMIN Responders : PRASANT PRASANT1 For complete request details click here</VALUE>
<DATATYPE>STRING</DATATYPE>
</PARAMETERLIST_ITEM>
<PARAMETERLIST_ITEM>
1. I am able to get the heading the IFS_MESSAGE_SUBJECT as Checkout Request 88731 submitted in Content Services
2. But nowhere i can find the IFS_MESSAGE_HEADER in the Worklist screen
the following:
For complete request details click here</VALUE>
Where will be the issue..?
Thanks in advance....
and best regards,
Prasant

How to register custom workflow in oracle apps ?

Hello
I am new to workflow. I have customized an oracle standard workflow and now i want to register this custom one. Please help how to register the custom workflow. What steps need to achieve this.
Thanks

Hi,
You may or may not need to "register" the workflow - it depends on the changes that you made and which Item Type you modified. Some applications are essentially hard-coded to use a specific item type and process, some hard-coded to use an item type but you can configure the process to use, and some allow you to specify which item type and which process to use.
Without knowing exactly what you have done, though, there is no specific advice that anyone can give you here on what you need to do, apart from to ensure that you have saved the new definition to the database.

Hi All,
I am trying to register custom workflow activity using plugin registration tool on MS CRM 2015 Online.
Error says that 'No Plugin have been selected from list. Please select atleast one and try again'
In short my assembly is not considered as custom workflow activity.
I am giving my code let me know, If any thing is wrong.
using System;

using System.Text;
using System.Activities;
using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk;
using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Workflow;
namespace Training.SamplePlugin

//Create the context
IWorkflowContext context = executionContext.GetExtension<IWorkflowContext>();
IOrganizationServiceFactory serviceFactory = executionContext.GetExtension<IOrganizationServiceFactory>();
IOrganizationService service = serviceFactory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);
if (context.PrimaryEntityName.ToLowerInvariant() == "contact")
DateTime birthDate = BirthDate.Get<DateTime>(executionContext);
DateTime nextBirthDate = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.AddYears(1).Year, birthDate.Month, birthDate.Day);

Entity newContact = new Entity();
newContact.LogicalName = "contact";
newContact.Id = context.PrimaryEntityId;
newContact["new_nextbirthday"] = nextBirthDate;
service.Update(newContact);
If code is correct then has somebody faced this kind of issue earlier, what is resolution.
Thanks

BPEL Custom Workflow (DocumentReviewWorkflow) with Content Services

Hi All,
Anybody working on BPEL Custom Workflows got Success in using the DocumentReviewWorkflow with the Content Services Development Kit 10.1.2.3.0
Please update..
Many Thanks in advance..!!!
Prasant

The DocumentReviewWorkflow that ships with the Content Services web services places the documents in the comments field.
There are examples in the sample code - DocumentReviewWorkflowAction.java file demonstrates how to get the URLs from Oracle Content Services
// Initialize the various Web Service Manager classes.
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(100);
String endpoint = session.getServiceEndPoint();
setUpManagers(session);
try
// Obtain the new/updated document items.
Item[] documents = WorkflowUtils.getTargetDocuments(session,
m_WorkflowId);
int len = (documents == null) ? 0 : documents.length;
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
AttributeRequest[] pathar = WsUtil.newAttributeRequestArray(
Attributes.URL);
Item tmp =
(Item) m_CommonManager.getItem(documents.getId(), pathar);
String filepath = (String) WsUtil.getAttributesMap(
tmp)
.get(Attributes.URL);
// Convert the String list to a single string for convenience.
sb.append(filepath);
sb.append("\n");
finally
session.logout();
You can then add the document links as attachments by creating a list of attachments and then inserting the URLs for the documents in the URI - I've done it using a combination of Java and BPEL. Here is an excerpt
<bpelx:exec name="countAttachments" language="Java" version="1.4"><![CDATA[/*Write your java code below e.g.
 System.out.println("Hello, World");
 // Note that the documents come back as a list of
 // documents with a line break between them
 String filename = (String) getVariableData("filename");
 String[] docnames = filename.split("\n");
setVariableData("numberofdocuments", new Integer(docnames.length));
]]>
</bpelx:exec>
<assign name="initCounter">
<copy>
<from expression="0"/>
<to variable="counter"/>
</copy>
<copy>
<from>
<attachment xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/taskservice/task">
<name/>
<URI/>
<content/>
</attachment>
</from>
<to variable="ParallelVar1" query="/task:task/task:attachment"/>
</copy>
</assign>
<while name="While_1" condition="bpws:getVariableData('counter') < (bpws:getVariableData('numberofdocuments') - 1)">
<assign name="createAttachmentList">
<bpelx:append>
<bpelx:from>
<attachment xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/taskservice/task">
<name/>
<URI/>
<content/>
</attachment>
</bpelx:from>
<bpelx:to variable="ParallelVar1" query="/task:task"/>
</bpelx:append>
<copy>
<from expression="bpws:getVariableData('counter') + 1"/>
<to variable="counter"/>
</copy>
</assign>
</while>
<bpelx:exec name="AddAttachmentsToList" language="Java" version="1.4"><![CDATA[/*Write your java code below e.g.
 System.out.println("Hello, World");
 String filename = (String) getVariableData("filename");
 checkpoint();
 String[] docnames = filename.split("\n");
for (int i = 0; i < docnames.length; i++) {
int strlen = docnames[i].length();
int slash = docnames[i].lastIndexOf('/');
String filenameonly = docnames[i].substring(slash + 1, strlen);
int item = i + 1;
String varname = "/task:task/task:attachment[" + item + "]/task:name";
String varuri = "/task:task/task:attachment[" + item + "]/task:URI";
setVariableData("ParallelVar1", varname, filenameonly);
setVariableData("ParallelVar1", varuri, docnames[i]);
]]>
</bpelx:exec>
This uses the fact that the document URLs are returned as a \n delimited string.

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?

Custom Workflow using Oracle Workflow in ContentDB

Hi,
Could we use custom workflow which is made using Oracle Workflow instead of BPEL.
Regards,
Yulisar

Having registered custom workflows for Content DB via Enterprise Manager, potentially you can use any tool capable of dequeuing/enqueing messages from the IFS_BPEL_OUT/IFS_BPEL_IN advanced queues as part of a custom workflow process.
By default, we assume you are using Oracle BPEL PM with its Advanced Queue adapater to process the queue messages. However, there is nothing stopping using Oracle Workflow or any tool for that matter.
HOWEVER!!! Warning!!! There is a high probability that Content DB will drop the bundled Oracle Worflow installation in the near future. What this means, is that you should consider installing/configure/patching your own separate Oracle Workflow installation and not rely on the bundled Content DB solution which is used internally for Serial and Parallel Approval workflows.
thanks,
Matt.

Can nested IIf be created in custom workflow (in Designer)?

I need to explore building a custom workflow in Designer that will allow me to update a hidden field in the list. Is it possible for me to recreate the nested IIf statement I have written below? I'm not seeing how to do get an AND operator in
the workflow designer, nor the nested concept.
TypeOfChange: IIf([status]="active",
IIf([program type]="p", "Primaries Approved",
IIf([program type]="o", "Options Approved",
IIf([program type]="R" Or [award]="AAS-T", "AAS-T Programs Registered",
IIf([apprentice]="a", "Apprenticeships Registered",
IIf([contract]="c", "Contracts Approved",
IIf([College Report Categories]![title]="collaborations", "Collaborations Registered",
IIf([Indiv Program Students] is Not Null, “Individualized Programs”,
IIf([program type]="st","ST Programs Registered")))))))),
IIf([status]="Title changed", "Titles Changed",
IIf([status]="removed",
IIf([program type]="p", "Primaries Deleted",
IIf([program type]="o", "Options Deleted",
IIf([program type]="st", "ST Deleted"))),
IIf([status]="Inactive",
IIf([program type]="p", "Inactive Primaries",
IIf([program type]="o", "Inactive Options")),
IIf([status]="Reinstated", "Reinstated Programs",
IIf([status]="Pending", "Pending Requests",
IIf([status]="NoI Review", "NoI Review Period",
IIf([status]="Modified", "Curriculum Modifications",""))))))))
There are no mistakes; every result tells you something of value about what you are trying to accomplish.

Hi run4it,
When add multiple compare conditions in workflow condition, it will show the operator AND, then you can try disigning the logic of if else branch sentenses as Andy suggested.

Custom workflow - How to go from single server to multiple?

I have been working on a project that involves developing a custom workflow activity for SharePoint 2013. I am developing it in a single server environment working with http. My problem occurs when deploying to multi-server environment with https (WFE, APP).
My question is how to deploy my solution to the new environment.
The steps:
Create a project - c# activity library
Add a workflow activity, add .xml
Deploy the .dll and .xml of project to "C:\Program Files\Workflow Manager\1.0\Workflow\Artifacts" "C:\Program
Files\Workflow Manager\1.0\Workflow\WFWebRoot\bin"
net sotp "Workflow Manager Backend"
net start "Workflow Manager Backend"
gacutil to deploy the .dll to GAC
iisrest
Create a project - empty SharePoint 2013 project
Add a workflow custom activity to project
Edit .actions4 and .xaml (my custom code from previous project is in this project now that i can drag and drop in .xaml)
Deploy to server, activate feature, open SharePoint Designer 2013 and choose the custom action that now appears when creating a 2013 workflow
This all works fine and dandy on my single server environment. Workflow is working like a charm. How should I go about deploying this to a multi-server environment with https? Does that server need Visual Studio on it also? I have continued to deploy the
.dll and .xml to the workflow manager backend folders. I have continued to deploy the .dll to the GAC also. When I upload the solution to the new site, it continues to work. When I open designer to create the workflow, it breaks and i cannot create or edit
any of the workflows on that site. Do i need to be doing something different because i am going from a http environment to https?
Let me know if this is unclear or if anyone needs more information. Thanks

If I understand correctly, your workflow still working fine in multi-servers farm but having problem in SharePoint designer. As far as I understand your custom activities should be deployed in the server where your workflow manager is running. Good architecture
would be to put the workflow in app server (or in it's separate server). But if you are also using HTTPs in multi-server farm whereas the workflow configured over HTTP, you might need to register the workflow (I'm not quite sure though, so you can try in some
test environment first).
I've worked with SharePoint 2013 workflow but I intentionally didn't develop custom activity. Rather I develop custom WCF service in SharePoint. And then used the service from workflow. This is how I could use a separate dedicated server for workflow (if
needed ever) without having any reference to SharePoint DLLs from inside workflow.

Custom Workflows in ContentDB (OCS 10.1.2.3.0)

Hi,
One of our clients is doing couple of enhancements to their ContentDB system. As part of this enhancement, I'm looking for a better understanding about how Parallel-Vote works internally and would really appreciate if you could direct me to some pointers for the same. Please find below details on the Scenario/Requirement that I'm implementing.
Scenario
Before a document can be moved into Folder-X in ContentDB, it goes through a parallel-vote approval process. For this, we have defined a Parallel-Vote-Custom-Workflow on Folder-X (this gets triggered off on the "Move" event on Folder-X).
As a result of this, whenever a document is moved into Folder-X, an approval request is raised - and an authorized person needs to approve it.
Requirement
1. When this document is approved to be placed into Folder-X, they want the same document to be copied into another folder "Folder-Y" as well.
2. The approval request title has the format "Move Request for Document-A". The request-title needs to be tweaked to just say "Document-A" without the rest of the message. (Its a nice-to-have feature)
To implement these, I'm trying to understand how Parallel-Vote is internally implemented in ContentDB. Is this internally implemented using a BPEL process? I checked the Custom Workflows defined in OEM and could not find Parallel/Serial Vote listed among them. So am just trying to find out, is there a way I can get a hook to the approval process happening internally so that I can implement the above requirements.
Thanks
Antony

We've done it on a seperate AS 10.1.2.0.2, it works and i'ts normally a supported configuraiton. Of course you will also need an OCS database to store ocs data.

Custom workflow activities

I need to write a custom workflow to get more opportunities in the list of opportunities and then generate invoice with details.. do you have an idea??
thanks.

After having registered the custom workflow activity, you should have to restart Asynchronous process service and IIS...

Custom workflow - props file service name change

All,
I created a custom workflow and registered with OIM with serviceName value as the service name from the SOA composite. I realized that this needs to be changed to RequestApprovalService.
Has anyone done this, if you can you please list the steps.
Thanks in advance,
Prasad.

I thought of this as well. It may be possible this way also. Since the composite was primarily generated by the OIM provided template, I didn't prefer to do this. The above mentioned method is working, but i will try this as well when i get a chance.
Regards,
Prasad.

Podcast Feeds and Custom Workflows missing after 10.6.2 update

Podcast Producer was working fine. I had some custom workflows and a number of podcasts. Then I applied 10.6.2 System Update.
Now my custom Workflows are missing in the Podcast Capture dialog box, the web page shows no podcasts (and the fact that it was updated at the time I ran Software Update!).
I have tried pcastconfig --sync_library without success.
The podcasts are there, the atom feed just can't see them!
And ideas what I need to delete/change?
Nick

I have managed to get all but one of my workflows back using (as root)
podcast --installworkflow --path /Library/PodcastProducer/Shared/Server/Workflows/F520417E-7E57-4EF8-8FE1-4CD1CB 495B1B.pwf
where F520417E-7E57-4EF8-8FE1-4CD1CB495B1B.pwf was one of the missing custom workflows identified by creation date.
then
podcast --enableworkflow --workflow_uuid F520417E-7E57-4EF8-8FE1-4CD1CB495B1B
Also I used Podcast Composer on a client machine instead.
Copy the problematic workflow over to the client machine, open it up in Podcast Composer, and then use the option to Deploy to Server.
Thanks to Apple Enterprise Support (SF)

Customized workflow-Credit management

This is in reference to a business requirement wherein Client wants to
bypass standard setting of OVA8 transaction to trigger customized
workflow by using field USER1
In the configuration of OVA8 below fields are set in section
'Released documents are still unchecked'
-Deviation in %: 3
-Number of days: 30
Now the above two fields has direct impact on USER1 field during credit
management recheck.
Requirement is to trigger customized workflow whenever a condition type
ZCRE in a SO is changed or deleted and should not depend on number of
days maintained in config.
Because of the field(Deviation in % and Number of days) maintained the
system doesnt trigger another credit check untill the number of days is
not met i.e 365.
Request to help in triggerring customized workflow whenever condition
type ZCRE is changed/deleted in SO and that can be done at anytime.
BR,
