Email Initiates BPEL

Hi,
I am using a EMAIL to initiate BPEL process.
Everythings working fine, however i have some problems.
1. The mail gets deleted after being read.
2. I want a BPEL instance to be created for only specifiic emails, say containg specific subject lines, from etc.
Please help me on this.
Thanks,

Hi,
for initiating a bpel with e-mail read:
http://blogs.bpel-people.com/2007/01/using-email-to-initiate-bpel-process.html
If you only want to filter on the mail, you can do the following:
in
<incomingServer>
<protocol>[protocol pop3 or imap]</protocol>
<host>[imap or pop3 server]</host>
<email>[imap or pop3 account]</email>
<password>[imap or pop3 password]</password>
<folderName>[imap only, inbox folder ]</folderName>
</incomingServer>
use a foldernName and then configure your E-Mail server that the mails are copied with the filter rules you want.
You should use the filter on the server side, because they are written exactly for this kind of work and it is not a good idea to implement this in the BPEL PM from Oracle.

Initiate BPEL from Email

Hello,
I want to initiate BPEL process form email in Oracle Soa Suite 11g. How can I do this ??

that's the way to do it in 10g
i think in 11g it's possible by use of the activation agents (couldn't find any info about it half a year back)
so i think if you really want it you need to write your own java class in between which will do the polling and fire off your bpel processes

Initiate BPEL process by e-mail polling lost in upgrade to 11g

So, as you would know by a simple search, "e-mail polling" or e-mail as an activation agent in BPEL 10.x works wonderfully following the guidance in the link: http://blogs.bpel-people.com/2007/01/using-email-to-initiate-bpel-process.html.
Taking that process and opening it in JDev 11g and running the upgrade process, I can't find where the activation agent configuration went. The process deploys fine, but none of the e-mails are getting picked up and starting the process. I've gotten myself lost in the Weblogic 10.3.3 configuration and can't seem to build the composite application to get e-mails flowing to a BPEL process. I've tried stuff with User Messaging Service, but that seems geared more towards the Workflow app. Also, the JavaMail looks really neat, but quite lost how to incorporate that into a BPEL workflow/composite application. I am from a BPEL background, my Java skill is medium-low.
It seems some of you have this working in 11g to poll an e-mail folder and kick-off a BPEL process. I've spent too much time muddling through the docs and not being successful and I'm not sure if my problem is Weblogic configuration or coding in the BPEL composite app. For those with this working, what do you feel is the best practice and if you can provide pointers to where I might dig further to get this working, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!

Hi,
Did u find the solution for this in 11g.
I am struggling too..
Please help if u have updates on it.

Schdule email in BPEL ?

Hi friends
I am new to BPEL world and I worked on some examples and was able to sent email from BPEL console.
The actual requirement is, to send an email Every friday morning
Any approcahes / Ideas .. how to implement this?
Thanks
Ravi

As Clemens pointed out there's no default functionality available for this in BPEL PM. You should build your own solution. There are a lot of options on how to solve this. Which one is the best depends on your architecture/infrastructure and available knowledge. Some options:
- Use a BPEL with WAIT activity that becomes active at scheduled times and gathers all emails to be sent
- add records to a db table and use dbms_job to schedule a mail procedure using utl_smtp
- make a JMS topic and put in messages. Dequeue at a scheduled interval using e.g. EJB timer
- use Quartz to schedule some Java class (not sure how this works from BPEL PM though)
- Any combination of the above
I guess it depends on your architecture and comfort zone ;-)

Email Activity Not sending email when BPEL process fails

In 11g SOASuite I have a BPEL process which does the following,
1) Receive response from client
2) Email activity - Notify with an id received in the request as content
3) Insert data into a table using db adapter
Whenever db adapter has some key violations or issues, I notice that no emails are getting dispatched. When I look at EM console it displays that txn has been rolled back after 3rd step. I understand that but it makes me ask this question,
How can I make the process to send an email at step2 irrespective of an error that happens down stream at step-3? How to make email activity not part of this Txn scope?
It works as expected(emails are dispatched) when there are no issues at step-3.

Hi,
In order to not rollback your transactions, you need to hit a dehydration point, meaning, save your process into the db store and perform a commit until that point.
It sounds like a simple process, so you can drag a checkpoint activity after the email activity.
That is one option. Try, and see if it works for you.

Sending email using BPEL 11g and Mail Sessions

Hi gurus,
I have created a BPEL process which can emails to a set of people. The mail server, port etc are configured in EM Console --> user messaging service-email --> Email Driver Properties. I then added the 'from address' in soa infra --> workflow config.
My question is - is there any way in which I can achieve the same using Mail Sessions (Weblogic Console --> Mail Sessions)?
Regards,
Arindam

I ran accross this randomly so sorry if this is irrelevent with timing. It seems however that Text Expander might be what you need. It is a mac program though, not ios.

Initiate BPEL process from incoming fax ?

hi all,
I found a very interesting post on Matt Wright's Blog
[http://blogs.oracle.com/matt/2006/03/10#a26] to init a process from a incoming email.
Do you know if we can make the same with an incoming fax?
Thanks for your help,
Cyryl

Hi,
In the past, I participated in 2 projects dealing with handling faxes or scanned documents (tiff format either way).
In one project, we used fax software (from Kofax I believe) that was able to recognize and interpret barcodes. Based on the barcode, the fax was put into the proper dossier in an Oracle database and processed from there. In case a barcode was not detected or could not be interpreted, the document was stored in a temporary dossier and someone was assigned the task to put it in its rightful place.
You could adopt a similar strategy and kick of a BPEL process whenever a document arives.
Hth.

Unable to Initiate BPEL Flow using BPELConsole

Hi,
I would appreciate some assistance in the following...
Recently whenever I try and Initiate a BPEL flow through BPELConsole (logged on as bpeladmin) I receive the following message:
"The following exception occured while processing this request:
null"
This is a production environment, and I can see via the "Dashboard" & "Instances" tabs that processes are executing, but I´m unable to start any directly from the console.
The BPEL version is 10.1.3.1, running under Linux.
Where do I start looking to find the root cause of this error? Let me know if additional info is required before you can assist.
Thanks.
Anit

Hi,
Thanks for the info. Went check what the logging was set to: "Manage BPEL Domain->Logging" and was presented with:
"500 Internal Server Error

The files in "/opt/oracle/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_1/opmn/logs" that I have are:

only default_group~oc4j_soa~default_group~1.log appears to be being written to, but that does not contain any info relating to the errors I am experiencing.
Any other suggestions?

An email from BPEL doesn't get through

Hi guys.
I am testing an email notification service from BPEL, and from the WL EM Console, the result is "Completed"; however, I never get the email in my account, and when I check the log, I find the following notification message:
WSIFBinding=> [default/MyEmailTest3!1.0*94b9c13b-083c-42e4-999b-1c3a1af5a213.NotificationService_1]:sendNotificationToUser Performing outbound request/response interaction..
Any ideas on what can be wrong or where to find a log that may help me to trace the error (if any).
I'm working on weblogic 10.3.2
Thanks, and have a great weekend!
Ignacio.

Hi Marc,
The BPEL process is an async process.
The web service should be an async one too.

BPEL not initiating with Email attachment

Hi all,
I am trying to initiate a bpel process based on email by following the link below:
http://blogs.bpel-people.com/2007/01/using-email-to-initiate-bpel-process.html
I have succeeded in initiating the bpel process with email, following this link.
But my problem is that, whenever I am sending email with attachment, my BPEL process is not initiating.
My BPEL process is initiating only when the email is received in the inbox without attachment.
The attachment which I am sending is very small in size, like 500 bytes.
For this, I also tried increasing the heartbeatinterval to 240 in bpel.xml activation agent code, but no luck.
I dont have any clues about what is happening.
Any solutions?
I am using :
Jdeveloper 10.1.3.3
SOA Suite 10.1.3.3
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance,
Abhishek.

hi,
Any updates on this?
Thanks in advance,

Start BPEL 11g on Receiving Microsoft Exchange Email

Folks, I have seen some documentation that a "preview" UMS adapter can be enabled to allow emails to trigger BPEL processes. The documentation reveals that an IMAP or POP3 mailbox is needed.
Does anyone know of a way to start the BPEL on receipt of a Microsoft Exchange Email? This follows the "MAPI" protocol.
Manoj

We can use UMS adapter to initiate BPEL process on receiving email. The UMS adapter is available in SOA 11.1.1.7 version.

Problem in sending Email notification from BPEL

Hi,
i am trying to send email from BPEL using Email activity.Using SoaSuite10.1.3.3
i configured the ns_emails.xml file properly as below.
when i run the process, it is executing fine without any error.
but i am not receiving any mail.
even i applied patch set p6148874 also.
below pasted is the ns_emails.xml file.
<EmailAccount>
<Name>Default</Name>
<GeneralSettings>
<FromName>Oracle BPM</FromName>
<FromAddress>[email protected]</FromAddress>
</GeneralSettings>
<OutgoingServerSettings>
<SMTPHost>domain.com</SMTPHost>

Even i tried adding <AuthenticationRequired> details to the above and its not working.
i restarted the server after modifications.
i tried pinging the SMTP server of my domain, and its connecting successfully.
Could any one suggest me the solution for this problem.
is there anything extra need to be configured for this..?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, ravigali :
Following are some steps I take to set Email notification in BPEL:
A important thing: get the right parameters of your Email server.
Step:
1. Alter ns_emails.xml (in D:\soft\SOASuite\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1\bpel\system\services\config directory), an example is as following:
<EmailAccounts xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/ias/pcbpel/NotificationService"
EmailMimeCharset=""
NotificationMode="EMAIL">
<EmailAccount>
<Name>Default</Name>
<GeneralSettings>
<FromName>*Your Name*</FromName>
<FromAddress>*Your Email: ***@***.com*</FromAddress>
</GeneralSettings>
<OutgoingServerSettings>
<SMTPHost>*mail.***.com*</SMTPHost>
<SMTPPort>25</SMTPPort>
</OutgoingServerSettings>
<IncomingServerSettings>
<Server>*mail.***.com*</Server>
<Port>993</Port>
<Protocol>IMAP</Protocol>
<UserName>***@***.com</UserName>
<Password ns0:encrypted="false" xmlns:ns0="http://xmlns.oracle.com/ias/pcbpel/NotificationService">***</Password>
<UseSSL>true</UseSSL>
<Folder>Inbox</Folder>
<PollingFrequency>1</PollingFrequency>
<PostReadOperation>
<MarkAsRead/>
</PostReadOperation>
</IncomingServerSettings>
</EmailAccount>
</EmailAccounts>
Note: the detail explain of every XML element is in http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/integrate.1013/b28982/service_config.htm#sthref324 (2.2.1 Configuring the E-mail Server)
2. Add the following property to wf_config.xml (in D:\soft\SOASuite\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1\bpel\system\services\config directory):
<property name="oracle.bpel.services.notification.publisher_interval" value="1" />
Then the BPEL server will send notification every 1 minute. More detail about this configuration to see http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/integrate.1013/b28981/notif.htm#sthref1678 (14.2.1 Reliable Notification Service).
3. Re-start all SOA Suite services. (opmnctl startall)
After the BPEL process invoke any E-mail notification activity and if we can’t receive any E-mail notification, we need to check the BPELNOTIFICATION table (ORABPEL database schema). And delete any error data in this table, then correct the E-mail notification setting through above steps and re-start all SOA Suite services.
Thanks,
Melody

hi Eric,
thanks once again for your instant reply.
but still I am not able to send Email from bpel so I would be requiring your more help.
I have gone through below link where you helped someone last year.
Email
As per this link I have downloaded the patch and tried but no result.
in above link I have not understood one thing
"the ip-address of soa-suite-server is allowed to make use of the smtp?
you need to add this address in the mailserver-config "
which was said by you.
So can you please provide me the details.
Also I wanted to know how we can come to know that our SOA suite will allow mail server to send Email.how to link mail server to SOA suite etc.
So please help me out .
thanks in advance.
mansoor.
