Deploy a processflow by hand

I'm having problems deploying a process flow from OWB.
Is there a way to deploy by hand.
A mapping can be generated and then the result can be applied in the database because it's all pl/sql packages.
The process flows are xml that will partially be imported into the tables belonging to the OWF_MGR, it will also create dblinks and maybe some other stuff.
The workflow tables where used by a OWB 9.2. I've upgraded the OWB part to 10.2.0.3 and redeployed the mappings in another schema. Now I want to deploy the process flows in the OWF_MGR schema but there are still the rows from the 9.2 deployment in those tables. Is this the root cause of my problem?

Problem solved. I do not need to deploy them manually.
The problem was situated in the workflow location, I recreated the WF location and now I can deploy the process flows from withiin OWB.

Deploying a processflow

Has anyone ran into this problem when trying to deploy a processflow?
RPE-01008 Recovery of this request is in progress.
In the /owb/log
oracle.wh.runtime.platform.adapter.InfrastructureException: RPE-01003: An infrastructure condition prevented the request from completing.

Audit Browser reports:
RPE-02071: Deployment has been aborted due to a previously reported critial error.
I have registered the process flow location to my workflow 262 schema. I can also deploy non- workflow packages.

Hmm, did the workflow repository install completely and without errors? Did you run the assistants to configure the Workflow repository?
If all of these are working, I would not really know where to start. If at all possible log an iTar with Oracle support services to dig into the matter. I think this will be hard to resolve over the forum mail list.

Deploy OWB ProcessFlow without OWB

Hello,
We have developed some ProcessFlows to load our DWH. We are not allowed to deploy straight from OWB to the database, so when we generate the ProcessFlows with OWB it creates XML files. But how do we implement them in our Production environment?
We tried some unix scripts in the $ORAHOME/wf/admin directory (wfxload) etc. This doesn't work.
Kind regards,
D.

deploy an xml file is easy, i assume owb is installed on the server.

Process flow errors while deploying

Hi all,
The following error occurs while deploying a simple process:
RPE-02085: Failed to test wb_rti_workflow_util.initialize through deployed Workflow Database Link
CF.US.ORACLE.COM@WB_LK_F_IMP_BB. 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_F_IMP_BB
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
OWF_MGR has been given execute any procedure grants. My opinion is that the database link has an error. This is how Oracle creates the DB link:
create database link CF.US.ORACLE.COM@WB_LK_F_IMP_BB connect to RUNTIME_OWNER identified by RUNTIME_OWNER using'
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=demo.SMS)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=CF)))';
When i create another DB link manually without the '.sms'-part in the HOST then the DB-link works fine. Where can i find the parameter that tells OWB to put .sms behind the hostname? I have tried numerous possibilities in sqlnet.ora, listener.ora and tnsnames.ora, but nothing seems to work. I have read the previous articles on this subject but havent found the solution.
Thankz in advance,
Eric

I am getting the same problem, The problem was caused by the domain suffix (.KC.RR.COM).
when I deploy a processflow package, owb creating bd_link with following description. Actually my host name is NG.
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=NG.KC.RR.COM)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=ORCL)))
How can I avoid creating domain suffix as part of db_link. Please let me know the steps you have taken to correct this.
Your help is greately appreciated.
Thanks,
Reddy

Deploying Process Flows

Hi
I cannot seem to get OWB to recognise the Oracle Workflow install in our database. Workflow has been in stalled into a schema called OWF_MGR and when I look in there I seen all the expected tables and AQ's so I have no reason to doubt the install. However when I go to connect I receive a rtc-5347 schema doesn't contain a repository message.
Is there any other way to verify the install of OWF is valid?
What OWB configuration parameters other than the location being set to the correct WF version are required for this?
Cheers

Hi, Development here,
I have some questions to hopefully narrow down the non-performent area:
1. Where does the issue occur. Is it:
a) Directly after you press the 'deploy' icon on the toolbar, but before the Pre-deployment window appears.
b) Directly after pressing the 'Deploy' button on the pre-deployment window but before deployment has finished.
2. Do you have a Client-Server environment and in which case is the issue on the client, the server or both. This is likely to be memory related, so we are looking to a high memory usage.
3. Are you deploying the ProcessFlows with the Mappings or deploying the ProcessFlows on their own. You can deploy the mappings first in one stage and the Processflows in the next.

Richard

Deploy questions for portal 7

Hi, BEA portal gurus,
I have several questions about Portal web application deployment.
1. If I try to manually deploy a new portal web application(not using the
wizard hot deployment), it seems that I have to take the following steps to
make it work. First in the console, I need to modify the application
descriptor and add a new web module. Second, I need to undeploy the whole
enterprise application and redeploly the whole application. Is there any
other easier way to do it? The redeployment of the whole application takes a
long time.
2. In http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs70/webapp/deployment.html#139318, it
explains a lot about web application deployment in weblogic server. In the
secion "reploying a web application in exploded directory format", it says:
****You can redeploy a Web Application deployed in exploded directory format
when using auto-deployment by modifying a special file called REDEPLOY, or
you can use the Administration Console, or you can cause a partial redeploy
by copying a new version of a class file over an old in the WEB-INF/classes
directory.*****
I am more confused than I was before I read this document. I think the first
approach --- modify the REDEPLOY is not necessary, because when I modify a
jsp or html in my portal web application, the server can pick it up right
away. Of course, I change the jsp check interval setting. Besides, I never
get the third appoach to work. Whenever I modify the classes and copy it to
the WEB-INF/classes, the server can not do auto-redeployment for me. I have
to restart the server, or redeploy the web application module in the console
to make it work.
Can anyone explain it to me? Thanks a lot in advance.
Surge.

Hi Kathleen,
Please check message server settings on
visual admin tool:server->kernel->cluster manager and check ms.host and ms.port values from the table. At my first try, I thought the port number was 50000 since it was J2EE message port, after checking it in visual admin tool I realized that, it was the same port you use for local which was 3601.
If this is still not working either then do it manually as follows:
Copy your applicationName.ear file into your sever. The directory that you can find the .ear file is C:\documents and settings\admin\documents\SAP\workspace\filename.ear
**Start your visual admin tool
server->services->deploy
on the right hand side you will see server->webdynpro
***On the right panel click on deploy&start
I hope this will work for you,and please do not forget reward points if I could help you a little.
Cheers,
Serkan

OWB and Workflow

I'm running OWB 10g on a 10g database. I'm attempting to deploy the workflow process developed in OWB to the edw schema in my database. I'm receiving the following error.
RPE-02018: Oracle Workflow schema OWF_MGR on host 10.150.10.20 cannot be accessed using service DWREP through port 1599. Please check the location details and try again.
- ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
Do I need to deploy the processflows into a schema that has runtime objects? I tried to deploy the flows to owf_mgr's schema and got a runtime repository does not exsist. Then I tried to deploy the flows to my edw schema which has my target dims and cubes, and I receieved the error mentioned. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Ray,
You create a process flow module, and a process flow location (stating OWF type and version 2.6.3). Then you register this location to the OWF_MGR schema in the deployment manager.
Please verify you have the setup as described here.
Then you click deploy and OWB will create:
- A dblink to the Runtime Repository
- A workflow definition in the OWF_MGR schema with the correct activities.

Regarding process flows

Hi All,
I have created many mappings and am trying to create a process flow wherein i execute all the mappings .
when i create the processflow module i provide the schema of the target database .
when i test the connections it tells me to use the processflow schema which i have not created .
my questions is ....do we require a new schema to use the processflow module ??
also ....after creating the processflow module do we need to deploy the processflow ?
pls let me know....
thnx
sunny

You need to install the Process Flow option into your database schema. The installation procedure is on the 10g Companion CD. After you have installed the option you need to run the configuration assistant to create the workflow schema. The script to run this is in the DB_HOME/wf/admin directory.
Next add the Workflow owner as an OWB user using the Repository Assistant. This will ensure you can deploy workflows into this user from Control Center.
Once you have done this you should be able to deploy the workflow to your target database.
Hope this helps
Keith

EntityBean: values are not loaded!

Hi,
i am working with jboss 2.0. i have an entity been having only get methods in its remote interface. the problem is that according to the specification, before a call to method in remote interface ejbLoad() must be called. but the strange thing is that ejbLoad() is called only one time( on first request) after deployment. on the other hand ejbStore() is called each time a get method is called.
is there anything that i am missing? does anybody have an idea?
regards
amt

Of course, ejbLoad() should be called once.
This call takes place when a entity bean is made active again, that's to say, when ejbActivate() method is called.
But every time you make change to the object, records in tables should be changed, too.
Good luck!

ejb-name into web.xml automatically

Hello all,
I follow the OC4J's tutorial in >>Servlet Developer's Guide<< using Jdeveloper 903.
there is an EJB session bean named HelloBean.
From UML Diagram, I can get it, and write the HelloServlet.java to invoke session bean.
now it is Ok. Jdeveloper online help says that EJB reference <ejb-ref> can be written into web.xml file,
but it doesn't do it. I manually insert <ejb-ref>...</ejb-ref> into web.xml.
and change <ejb-name> and <ejb-ref-name> in ejb/HelloBean.
I want to know how to do this automatically by Jdeveloper 903.
and how to change session bean's <ejb-name> from HelloBean into ejb/HelloBean?
Thanks.
Wu JianHua.

Automatic insertion of ejb-ref in web.xml whenever EJB dependencies are included in WAR deployment profile.
Select Tools | Preferences
Select Deployment in the left hand tree
Select the check box for "Automatically Fill in <ejb-ref> elements in web.xml
You can hit F1 hel on the above panel to view the help.
From help system
Automatically Fill In <ejb-ref> Elements in web.xmlBy default, JDeveloper automatically inserts corresponding elements to the web module deployment descriptor file, web.xml, whenever EJB dependencies are included in the WAR profile. If an EJB dependency is subsequently removed, however, JDeveloper will leave the elements in web.xml instead of removing them. Clear this checkbox to disable automatic insertion of elements in the web.xml file. Clearing this field prevents extraneous <ejb-ref> elements from appearing in the web.xml. However, do this with caution, since you'll have to make sure that the web.xml file is complete and accurate before deployment.

Simple Client to EJB application

Hi,
I'm new to EJB.
I have J2EE SDK 1.4 beta installed on a windows 2000 pc.
I have several books with simple examples of clients accessintg simple EJB servers, but none show an example calling an EJB deployed in the application server in the J2EE sdk (Weblogic and Jboss are used in the examples)
Also, there does not seem to be an example of this in the j2ee 1.4 tutorial that I downloaded from sun.
The problems arise trying to make contact with the EJB (what JNDI settings etc are required for the sun 1.4 beta application server?)
My questions are:
Is there a simple example of this available anywhere. Detailing the settings for accessing the EJB on the sun j2ee 1.4 beta application server.
Is there good information on what settings are required in deploytool to perform this.
Is there a good description/explanation of what deplotool actually does under the covers. And whether it is possible to perfor these tasks manually.
Can I just run the client code, or do I need to run it in some for of client container (ie appclient.bat).
Thank you
Colin

The J2EE 1.4 Tutorial currently posted is a beta version and is incomplete. For EJB,
it only covers the deltas between 1.3 and 1.4. The complete tutorial, including a
chapter with a CMP example, will be posted on our web site at the end of this
month. The tutorial explains how to create apps with the deploytool because it's
almost impossible to create a correct EJB deployment descriptor (DD) by hand.
The DD for the tutorial's trivial CMPRoster EJB JAR, for example, is over
1,000 lines long.

Need automated/hands-off deployment for VO extension

Hello,
I have created a VO extension. I only changed the query in an LOV, so I only need to promote the jpx and xml files. I have successfully promoted the xml file (moved it to the custom directory) and imported the JPX file with JPX importer.
Now we need to promote from dev, where I did this manually, to beta, where we need an automated approach. To do so, I decided to create a Simple Archive JAR file. My plan:
Create a Jar file
* right click project -> Create Business Components Deployement profile
* choose Simple Archive
* note jar location
* click Finish
* expand the bcdeploy file
* right click the MiddleTier.bcdeploy file -> Settings
* choose files I want deployed
* under Filters, remove all Excludes in the After Dependency section
* include my custom package tree
* click Finish
* right click the MiddleTier.bcdeploy file -> Deploy to JAR
check the jar into pvcs
have Kintana (our migration tool) pull the jar from pvcs
use a shell script (which Kintana would execute) to
* unpack the jar
* import the xml or jpx if exists
* move class files to appropriate directories
Is there a better methodology than this?
Thanks!

Hey there,
For our custom OAF deployments we do the following:
1. Remember to move your *.class files into your project on your local machine.
2. Zip up our project file.
3. DBA's take *.zip and extract in $JAVA_TOP on forms server.
4. Import each XML file using the following script (provide correct path names). We use a shell script to run this for each of our XMLs.
java oracle.jrad.tools.xml.importer.XMLImporter $JAVA_TOP/item/oracle/apps/spl/part/webui/PartSearchPG.xml -rootdir $JAVA_TOP -username apps -password $APPS_PASSWD -dbconnection "(DESCRIPTION =(ADDRESS_LIST =(ADDRESS =(PROTOCOL =TCP)(Host = $HOST)(Port =1569)))(CONNECT_DATA =(SID =$SID)(GLOBAL_NAME =$SID.oracledb.com)(SDU =1450)(TDU =2900)))"

Processflow: deployment warning

RPE-02016: The full address of host 101.201.109.1 cannot be obtained. This may be a configuration issue with your Name Lookup Service. Please contact your System Administrator to correct this issue
When deploying the process flow, I am getting this above warning, anybody got an idea, what could be the reason for this warning.
Thanks,
Glad

We do get these kind of warnings while deploying the process flows. But treat this as a mere warning which does not hamper the execution of the process flows in anyway.
As for the reason of this error, as long as it is running I have never bothered to find out the reason for this warning message.

SCCM Policies and SCEP Deployment Issues

I'm having several issues with SCCM 2012 R2.
I have inherited an existing SCCM 2012 R2 installation. The company does not want me to rebuild it from the ground using best practices, so I'm doing what I can with it.
Issue #1: SCEP does not auto deploy to new systems;
Issue #2: Client policies do not update;
Issue #3: Anti-malware policies do not update.
Starting out, I guess I need to look at issue #2 before I look at the others.
The client is auto-deploying as far as I can tell. I do not have any GPO’s that push the software to the clients, so it appears that the system wide deployment of the client is working correctly.
As for the policies not being updated, I have created a new policy that is assigned to newly defined device collections.
I have check the membership of the collections and it is populating/selecting the assets correctly.
I have picked a handful of computers out of the collection to use for information gathering.
Looking at the log files, it shows that it is applying policies, but it does not identify which policy from the SCCM server.
With the new policies that I’ve created, I’ve enabled ‘Endpoint Proection’, ‘Hardware Inventory’, ‘Power Management’, ‘Remote Tools’, ‘Software Deployment’, ‘Software Metering’, and ‘User and Device Affinity’.
After 13 days, the options within the policy have not taken effect as I have check the clients and the settings from the ‘Remote Tools’ and ‘Power Management’ haven’t been applied. I waited this long since several of the settings were set at 7 days before
re-evaluation.
I’m not sure where to go next on this issue.
On the issue #1 & 3, the computers that did get the initial config push and SCEP install, before I came on, are operating and reporting back to the SCCM manager that they are in a managed state, which is fine, but they are not applying any newly defined
policies. Checking the logs on the clients show that they are applying the Default Client Settings and not any of the other policies that are set to deploy to All systems or any other collection I’ve defined.
Also checking the anti-malware policy logs on the clients, they are also still applying the Default Client Antimalware Policy, not any of the custom policies, just like the SCCM client issue. In the EndpointProtectionAgent.log, i have several lines
showing "Deployment WMI is NOT ready." The same is in several of the other log files, so I've check that all the WMI services are running and I have tested management with the PoshCat utility and all of the commands are working in there and
the output reports all seem to be reporting correctly.
Any pointers or starting points would be greatly appreciated.

For the 'Client Settings', I have 4 listed. Default Client Settings, EP Settings (existing that I have set to deploy to a group that only has 1 computer left in it), Server Policy, and Workstation Policy (applies to all clients that have 'workstation'
in the version name).
For SCEP, just 2. Default Client and Custom SCEP.
The inventory and software distribution... let's look at the inventory function. I have nothing showing in '\Assets and compliance\Overview\Asset Intelligence\Inventoried Software'.
As for software distribution, I am not sure how to check that -- I haven't set up any deployed software packages yet... but the SCEP and Windows Updates are the only things showing up. SCEP is not deploying to any new workstations, but it appears all
the Windows Updates are deploying correctly to all the workstations.
I just checked the SrcUpdateMgr.log on a client and I've found several lines of 'Instance of CCM_SourceUpdateClientConfig doesn't exist in WMI'
Checking the SoftwareCatalogUpdateEndpoint.log file, I have several lines that just repeat...
Software catalog update endpoint is starting
Logo event received
Logon user SID: [...]
Retrieving URL for software Catalog
Software Catalog update endpoint is loading
Received notification for client agent setting or portal information change

Received notification for client agent setting or portal information change
and it does show the Silverlight lines 3 times each time in the repeats. The repeat time stamp looks like it happens alternating 20 minutes, then 2 hours, then 20 minutes, then 2 hours, etc.
