Error during "Process Flow" deployment

Question

Hello everyone,
I am having trouble deploying my first "Process Flow" object. I am using OWB 9.2 and WF 2.6.2 on Windows XP.
Here is the error I am getting:
RPE-02085: Failed to test wb_rti_workflow_util.initialize through deployed Workflow Database Link DSRD_QA.US.ORACLE.COM@WB_LK_WF_LOADS. 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 OWBRR.WB_RTI_WORKFLOW_UTIL@DSRD_QA.US.ORACLE.COM@WB_LK_WF_LOADS
ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
Here is what I have done so far based on what read in different posts on this forum (nothing seems to fix my problem):
o connect to SYS in the TARGET database (where OWF
schema was installed) and ran the following:
GRANT execute any procedure to owf_mgr
o I used "localhost" when I registered the WF object.
Then, as per one post, I changed it to "DNS name".
Did not help at all.
o Then, I tried to test the DB link (mentioned in the
error Msg above) and it DID NOT work. Then, as per
another post, I removed the part of host name that
appeared after the ".", i.e, DB.someplace.com to
DB. Then I ran a query using this DBLink and it worked
OK. Then I tried to deploy the WF object, it failed
with same error as above.
I am hoping someone will help me out on this issue - I have seen several posts with similar error messages and have tried almost all the solutions presented in there - nothing worked for me so far. Here is DB link definition:
ORIGINAL:
create public database link DSRD_QA.US.ORACLE.COM@WB_LK_WF_LOADS
connect to OWBRR identified by tiger using '(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=CENTENNI-4F4322.CENTENNIALCOLLEGE.CA)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=DSRD_QA)))'
Changed:
create public database link DSRD_QA.US.ORACLE.COM@WB_LK_WF_LOADS
connect to OWBRR identified by tiger using '(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=CENTENNI-4F4322)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=DSRD_QA)))'
NOTE: HOST was chanegd to just DNS name (part after the "." was removed). Changed DBLink works fine - original one does not.
Thank you all in advance for your time and reponse!

Hello Jean-Pierre,
I have tried almost what I could but I am still getting following errors when I try to deploy "process flow":
RPE-02085: Failed to test wb_rti_workflow_util.initialize through deployed Workflow Database Link OWB92TRG.US.ORACLE.COM@WB_LK_WF_PKG2. 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_WF_PKG2
ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
Most recent thing I tried was to run "catrpc.sql" script on the TARGET database using SYS.
I know you must be a very busy person but I would appreciate if you could try this in your env. Both my SOURCE and TARGET databases are local and I have installed all OWB and OWF repositories in the TARGET database. I have successfully deployed and executed OWB Mappings. Now I am stuck with OWF Process Flow deployment. This would perhaps be the last thing I need to do in order to be able to schedule ETL jobs through OWF.
All your help and time is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Amer
