EBS, workflow

Hi:
I was trying to create my first workflow. I got the following errors:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-20002: 3114: Activity 'XXXXPTR/MAIN_TRAINING_PROCESS' is not a process.
ORA-06512: at "APPS.WF_ENGINE", line 3920
ORA-06512: at "APPS.XXXX_PO_WF_TRAINING_PKG", line 96
ORA-06512: at line 3
Do you want how to fix it?
thx,QAQA

Hi,
I would rather suggest to log an SR with Oracle Support as you can refer the following ML doc which provides suggest Patches for this kind of related errors:
*[Unable To Attach Workflow To Eam Service Request Type - ORA-20002|https://metalink2.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=464906.1]*

The above documents have nothing to do with the issue. No patches are required to fix the issue!

Oracle EBS Workflow Options

Hi,
Anybody has ideas about Oracle EBS workflow strategy in the near future?
I would like to customize the workflow for GL (parallel approval) in Oracle EBS (11i/R12) and need suggestions on each option.
Options:
1. Custom Standard Oracle Workflow
This is a short term high effort customization solution.
2. Utilize Oracle Approval Management (AME)
It is available for limited modules and functions. GL module is not part of the supported modules in the near future.
3. BPEL for Oracle Apps
Not sure whether it is integrated with Oracle Apps. Need more information.
I saw a doc about migrating WF processes to Oracle BPEL but it does not have any detail info. (Doc ID: Note:394387.1)
Regards,
Jeremy

Jeremy,
The suitable choice would be either oracle workflow or the BPEL but it still depends on a lot many other factors.
The standard oracle workflow is still going to be around for many more years and is the default choice as of now.
BPEL is more versatile, more detailed but there is no apps standard for it. So even if you develop now in BPEL, there are chances that it might not be compatible/feasible with the Fusion Apps standards which we don't know yet. And there are other factors like learning a new tech and the ones Gareth has mentioned.

Workflow PDF attachment Issue

In one of the dev instance here in Client's side we are facing one issue regarding workflow notification attachment.
We have built a custom workflow which send notification with PDF as an attachment.In ebs workflow list when user try to open the attachment we are getting following error
ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception ORA-06512: at "APPS.WF_NOTIFICATION", line 8114 ORA-06512: at line 1
This error is not occurring in another dev instance and happening at the client side.
Please let me know if any one have come across this error before
I guess this may be some setup at the server side which causing this error.
we are creating custom directory for the above.

14. Once my photos look the way I want, I then export them to JPEG. I have set up a Photoshop droplet for Lightroom that will then do all my sharpening after export.
That's it! I know it sounds like a lot of steps, but once you've done it a couple of times it goes by really quick. I'm really loving most things about Lightroom in terms of its cataloging and export options. But the image quality of the Lightroom raw conversions just isn't there yet. I've found by integrating both Capture NX and Lightroom I can get top quality results while still gaining advantage of Lightroom's many nice features. It took me a few days of exploration and experimentation to nail down the optimal workflow for my needs. Hopefully this will help some others out and maybe give them some ideas of their own toward a better workflow.
Please feel free to share your thoughts or own experience on all of this.
Thanks to Tony Long for his suggestion in this thread, which caused me to go on a search for the optimal Lightroom/Capture workflow: http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?7@@.3bc719df/3

Got error: Location Code is not enabled in the XML Gateway Server

Hi,
When I perform Compliance rule screening on GTM - Globel Trade Management,that I defined GTM as an Trading Partner on EBS R12.1.3,
GTM can send response to EBS,but I see the following error message via Transaction Monitor on EBS workflow:
[The Standard:OAG, Transaction Type:ITM , Transaction SubType:EXPORT_COMPLIANCE and Location Code GTM6.2 is not enabled in the XML Gateway Server. Pls check your Setup.]
On EBS,I defined an ITM Partner for GTM,named 'GTM6.2',according to the document created by you: ITM Setup.doc
and I also finished the following steps:
1. ITM Application Users
2.ITM Partner Service Types
3.ITM Parameter Setup
4.Order Type Creation: ITM Only
5.Customer Creation: create a customer named 'GTM6.2', also enter 'GTM6.2' as EDI Location
6.Define Transactions on XML Gateway as following:
<Header>:
Party Type: Customer
Transaction Type: ITM
Transaction Sub Type: EXPORT_COMPLIANCE
<External Transactions (Lines)>:
Standard Code: OAG
External Transaction Type: ITM
External Transaction Sub Type: EXPORT_COMPLAINCE
Queue: APPLSYS.ECX_IN_OAG_Q
7.Define Trading Partners on XML Gateway as following:
<Header>:
Trading Partner Type: Customer
Trading Partner Name: GTM6.2
<Trading Partner Details>:
Transaction Type: ITM
External Transaction Type: ITM
External Transaction Sub Type: EXPORT_COMPLAINCE
Map: WSHITEIN
Source Trading Partner Location Code: GTM6.2 (same as the value what defined in EDI Location for customer)
I think the combination of External Transaction Type, External Transaction Subtype, Standard Code,Source Trading Partner Location Code
should be existing once done above steps, I have no idea why the error prompted.
Does someone can tell how to trace the error?
Thanks,
Rambler

Why should we queue?

Hello Architects and Software enginners,
I think things that may be needed in a specific scenario, may not be crucial in another scenario, in other words I don't believe a common solution exists for all situations.
So here is my scenario and my question is do I need to use the queing mechanism in this case? We have an Oracle EBS 11.5.10 with DB 10.2.0.1 system.
We have to exchange cXML documents with a vendor. For outbound, we need to transform table data to a cXML document and send it to the vendor via https. For inbound, we need to get cXML docs from the vendor via https and create a flat file in our system to load to our EBS interface tables. All this will be done in bacth/asynchronous mode.
For outbound, the data is already in the EBS tables. Why can't I loop through to get the records, create the cXML documents (say using XML DB) and use utl_http to post to the vendor on the fly per schedule say 10 times a day? Another option would be when the records are created I can create the cXML and store in a temporary table as a clob and then post to vendor as per schedule. Why do I need to use queing, because queuing seems to do the same thing-store in a queue table, dequeue it from there and and process it?
Similarly for inbound why can't I get the cXML from the vendor, store it in a temp table as a clob and extract the text and create my file? Why should I use queueing? It just seems to be additional processing.
As you can see it is a very basic question so let the opinions, ideas, critiques, disagreements flow :-)
I highly appreciate your input as it will help determine how we architect our solution.
Thanks
Sandeep

Hi Damorgan,
Appreciate it very much you taking the time to reply...on a weekend!. As a technologist I understand your point. But as business customers we have to look out for our best interests, so based on business realities I will disagree with some of your statements. I don't want to deviate from learning from you on the needs of AQ for this project. I wish we had met at the openworld so that we could have exchanged rants face to face, your EBS colleagues were targets of mine :-)
Now to your question. AQ is for real-time not batches. ...If you are going to batch it ... AQ is more technology than you need.
How is AQ real time? I am not trying to argue here, just trying to understand please bear with me and correct me if I am wrong. If you are queuing something, it means that you want to do something later,how many milliseconds afterwards that may be. I thought that was the whole point of queing so that users can continue doing what they are doing and leave the intensive processing to be done later without waiting online. Isn't this simply a batch that runs more often? A listener may be listening, wakes up every once in a while and processes the messages in batch-Again I don't know how this works but I am anticipating soemthing like this happens, please correct me. If there are disparate messages coming from many systems, queing makes sense in an EAI architecture. But in a point-to-point, as in this project, what is the point? :-)
Also, can I queue up cXML type of messages in clobs? I read somewhere that only native Oracle XML can be queued up in AQ. An example of cXML is below.
I would recommend that if your organization wishes to be competitive. And if you wish to have skills that are competitive in the marketplace you (your organization) start taking this technology seriously. Patch to 10.2.0.4 immediately and upgrade to 11.1.0.7 by August. Then throw away the antiquated batch mode model, use AQ, and communicate with your vendors in a more timely and efficient manner.
I would agree doing away with the batch if I understand AQ better. From what I read, I have explained my understanding of AQ earlier. We have had regular issues with EBS Workflow queueing mechanisms for e-mail notifications where things get piled up for no apparent reason and when we open an SR the inevitable result is "rebuild the queue, bounce Apache, bounce concurrent managers etc..." with no real resolution which is causing me to hesitate using AQ for financial documents.
Also, we will be upgrading to 11 soon but not soon enough for this project

Can we select multiple Invalid Reasons for a single document in verifier?

Hi all,
Can anyone explain me how to select more than one invalid reasons in verifier?
Cen we define new Invalid reason based on the predefined rules available in verifier?
For ex: I wanted to use 2 rules one for 'Invoice amount do not add up' and for 'Missing/Invalid PO' under single Invalid Reason.
Is it possible??
If yes how can we impplement the same?
Is there any workaround for the same?
Thanks in advance.

Hi William,

Please help me out.
I'm sorry, but I'm not even sure how to begin to answer this question. "But can we use a single custom invalid reason for which it will vaidate PO number and Amount also??" What are you trying to set as invalid? Why are you trying to validate other fields in spite of the fact the item already has some type of issue (which is understood since you are marking it as invalid)?
Typically, you are going to set an invalid reason in order to get the item out of Verifier and into the EBS workflow process.
"Exceptions" can also be set within Verifier (which is separate functionality from the invalid reasons) which would assign a new state code to an item to keep the item in Verifier instead of releasing it. These special state codes would be set as accessible from certain workstations (with these workstations being operated by specialists who handle these specific issues).
I'd suggest taking some more time to read the AP Solution Guide and the OFR documentation to understand what functionality already exists. If I even vaguely understand what you are asking, you're asking for a customization that is far outside of the scope of this forum. It will likely call for not only changes to the AP solution project, but the BPEL workflow code logic as well - which is way too much to cover in a forum post.

Can I use Oracle IPM with a third party content managemen system?

Hello,
Our client has a requirment to use Oracle IPM with a non-Oracle content management system. That is they don't want to Oracle UCM. Is it possible? If yes, can you please direct me to some kind of documentation.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards
Abhishek

I think you should draw a scheme of your architecture for yourself.
An A/P solution consists of:
- scanning (hence, ODC/ODDC)
- repository of images (IPM based on UCM)
- workflows (BPM as a part of IPM license)
- connector to an application (usually, Oracle EBS Adapter is used here)
If you don't intend to use any part of the solution (e.g. you have a different ERP system than EBS, you have your own repository), you can replace it with your own parts. However, be aware that you will have take care of the integration - Oracle can integrate for you only those parts that Oracle has under control (ODC is integrated to UCM/IPM, IPM/UCM is integrated to EBS, workflows know how to call UCM/IPM services). Of course, it uses open standards (web services or RIDC), so you may implement the integration yourself.

Controlling the processing of threads(MDB) simultaneously in BPEL

Hi all,
i have a BPEL process which hits an Oracle API.While doing stress testing(making 1000 calls to the API simultaneously), the EBS workflow goes down.
This bulk testing is required so we cannot ignore it.
Kindly give us solutions so that we can control the number of threads in BPEL which are calling the API simultaneously.
Regards
ayush

Hi Ayush,
Here are few options you can try:
1) Instead of directly sending data from Siebel, you can store that data on some staging DB tables on Siebel side OR can create file(s) out of that. Then, BPEL process can use inbound adatper to poll these data. Here, BPEL PM can use minimumDelayBetweenMessages to control the input to the BPEL PM. The overall effect would be the less simultaneous API calls.
2) You can reduce the number of threads for the domain as Rod suggested to throttle the processing. Again, the effect would be the same.
3) If a single process instance makes multiple API calls in fire-and-forget fashion in a loop, then after each call use Wait activity to wait for some fixed amount of time. This will allow the previous call to complete or nearly complete before making another call and hence reducing the number of simultaneous API calls.
Hope this helps.
