Issue in implementing Dynamic participant chooser process Step

I am facing issue in implementing Participant chooser process Step.
I want to create dynamic Participant chooser process Step, I have implemented 'ParticipantStepChooser' class and overwrote 'getParticipant' method. But this process did not appear in Dynamic participant chooser dropdown in CQ5.6 environment.
I deployed same code in CQ5.5 and process appeared in Dynamic participant chooser dropdown.
This is the sample code which I have used:
@Component(immediate = true, metatype = true, label = "DMP Config Service123")
@Service
@Properties({
        @Property(name = Constants.SERVICE_DESCRIPTION, value = "A sample implementation of a dynamic participant chooser.", propertyPrivate=true),
        @Property(name = Constants.SERVICE_VENDOR, value = "Adobe", propertyPrivate=true),
        @Property(name = ParticipantStepChooser.SERVICE_PROPERTY_LABEL, value = "******** Hello ********", propertyPrivate=true),
        @Property(name = "immediate" , value = "true", propertyPrivate=true)
public class MyDynamicParticipant implements ParticipantStepChooser {
    private static final String TYPE_JCR_PATH = "JCR_PATH";
    @Activate
void activate(ComponentContext context) {
LoggerUtil.infoLog(this.getClass(), " ");
    public String getParticipant(WorkItem workItem, WorkflowSession workflowSession, MetaDataMap args) throws WorkflowException {
LoggerUtil.infoLog(this.getClass(), "inside getParticipant method{} ");
        WorkflowData workflowData = workItem.getWorkflowData();
        if (workflowData.getPayloadType().equals(TYPE_JCR_PATH)) {
String path = workflowData.getPayload().toString();
String pathFromArgument = args.get("PROCESS_ARGS", String.class);
if (pathFromArgument != null && path.startsWith(pathFromArgument)) {
return "admin";
        return "administrators";

Make sure to change your imports in 5.6 to use granite api. Please change from [1] to [2].

Copying large file sets to external drives hangs copy process

Hi all,
Goal: to move large media file libraries for iTunes, iPhoto, and iMovie to external drives. Will move this drive as a media drive for a new iMac 2013. I am attempting to consolidate many old drives over the years and consolidate to newer and larger drives.
Hardware: moving from a Mac Pro 2010 to variety of USB and other drives for use with a 2013 iMac. The example below is from the boot drive of the Mac Pro. Today, the target drive was a 3 TB Seagate GoFlex ? USB 3 drive formatted as HFS+ Journaled. All drives are this format. I was using the Seagate drive on both the MacPro USB 2 and the iMac USB 3. I also use a NitroAV Firewire and USB hub to connect 3-4 USB and FW drives to the Mac Pro.
OS: Mac OS X 10.9.1 on Mac Pro 2010
Problem: Today--trying to copy large file sets such as iTunes, iPhoto libs, iMovie events from internal Mac drives to external drive(s) will hang the copy process (forever). This seems to mostly happen with very large batches of files: for example, an entire folder of iMovie events, the iTunes library; the iPhoto library. Symptom is that the process starts and then hangs at a variety of different points, never completing the copy. Requires a force quit of Finder and then a hard power reboot of the Mac. Recent examples today were (a) a hang at 3 Gb for a 72 Gb iTunes file; (b) hang at 13 Gb for same 72 Gb iTunes file; (c) hang at 61 Gb for a 290 Gb iPhoto file. In the past, I have had similar drive-copying issues from a variety of USB 2, USB 3 and FW drives (old and new) mostly on the Mac Pro 2010. The libraries and programs seem to run fine with no errors. Small folder copying is rarely an issue. Drives are not making weird noises. Drives were checked for permissions and repairs. Early trip to Genius Bar did not find any hardware issues on the internal drives.
I seem to get these "dropoff" of hard drives unmounting themselves and other drive-copy hangs more often than I should. These drives seem to be ok much of the time but they do drop off here and there.
Attempted solutions today: (1) Turned off all networking on Mac -- Ethernet and WiFi. This appeared to work and allowed the 72 Gb iTunes file to fully copy without an issue. However, on the next several attempts to copy the iPhoto and the hangs returned (at 16 and then 61 Gb) with no additional workarounds. (2) Restart changes the amount of copying per instance but still hangs. (3) Last line of a crash report said "Thunderbolt" but the Mac Pro had no Thunderbolt or Mini Display Port. I did format the Seagate drive on the new iMac that has Thunderbolt. ???
Related threads were slightly different. Any thoughts or solutions would be appreciated. Better copy software than Apple's Finder? I want the new Mac to be clean and thus did not do data migration. Should I do that only for the iPhoto library? I'm stumped.
It seems like more and more people will need to large media file sets to external drives as they load up more and more iPhone movies (my thing) and buy new Macs with smaller Flash storage. Why can't the copy process just "skip" the parts of the thing it can't copy and continue the process? Put an X on the photos/movies that didn't make it?
Thanks -- John

I'm having a similar problem. I'm using a MacBook Pro 2012 with a 500GB SSD as the main drive, 1TB internal drive (removed the optical drive), and also tried running from a Sandisk Ultra 64GB Micro SDXC card with the beta version of Mavericks.
I have a HUGE 1TB Final Cut Pro library that I need to get off my LaCie Thunderbolt drive and moved to a 3TB WD USB 3.0 drive. Every time I've tried to copy it the process would hang at some point, roughly 20% of the way through, then my MacBook would eventually restart on its own. No luck getting the file copied. Now I'm trying to create a disk image using disk utility to get the file from the Thunderbolt drive and saved to the 3TB WD drive. It's been running for half an hour so far and appears that it could take as long a 5 hours to complete.
Doing the copy via disk image was a shot in the dark and I'm not sure how well it will work if I need to actually use the files again. I'll post my results after I see what's happened.

Generate External Service PR from Process order

Hi,
i want to generate a PR for external service on an operation fro the process order and then make a service entry sheet against it, is this possible in SAP? I set the control key accordingly, a PR is generated but it is not for external service, it is working well for subcontracting. It is possible to generate PR for external service manually but i want to automate the process.
Thanks

Hi Muhammad Naveed,
In PP cycle we do not use the concept of taking external services. External services is hiring a vendor to come to your plant and do the servicing for your equipment. This is followed in plant maintenance module.
In PP cycle, we only send the material outside to vendor for doing a certain operation using PR - PO (subcontracting scenario).
Hope you are clear.

External Email address in process chain alerting not fully displayed

Friends,
I have this weird problem and not sure if its a real issue.
I am maintaining messages for process chain failure alerting. I am using an external address and receipant type as "via Internet".
When I enter email id (ex: abc.123.xyz at mycompany.xxx) save it and come back, and If I re enter that screen the entered email is not fully displayed, few chars are truncated, (ex : abc.123.xyz@mycompan).
Can you guys please help me figure out what the issue is?
Is there any restriction on the length?
Thanks

External commands in OWB Process Flow

Hello *,
how can I embed an external command (e.g. a batch file) in an OWB process flow.
I know the User Defined Activity but I didn't succeed in embedding this.
Has someone an example for me?
Thanks and regards
Michael

hi thomas...
thanks for your reply...
I changed the parameters of runtime.properties to NATIVE_JAVA as u said...but it still not running....
I will give u a celar pic..what I am doing now..
I wrote a bat file called cmd.bat with the following commands..
d:
cd temp
copy var.dat d.txt
del var.dat
I kept the path of this file(d:\temp\cmd.bat)..in the script parameter of userdefined activity...
and the path of the cmd.exe (c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe) file in command parameter
I created a basic process flow(ch)..with start, userdefined and stop activities...
I just want to copy the data from var.dat to d.dat and delete the var.dat..
the deployment and running of this process(ch) from the control center manager is success...but the actual copying and deletion that was mentioned in my cmd.bat..is not happening...
I am using owb 10gr2....
anymore suggestions plzz..
thanks

Create Plug-in or run external tool on build process

I would like to perform some additional file handling/creation during the building/publish process and make use of the conditional build tags.
so, is it possible to create a plug-in for Robohelp or maybe run an external tool during the build/publish process.
Making use of the Conditional buildtags is essential.
Thank you for your help

You should look into the scripting support provided in RoboHelp 9. There you can do many things including file manipulation, SSL generation setting CBT's, and many more.
Please look @ http://help.adobe.com/en_US/RoboHelp/8.0/Scripting/robohelp_8_scripting.pdf
In Robohelp 9, there are many sample scripts provided to showcase the power of scripting in RoboHelp. It includes script to generate ePub output and eclipse Help Output, using scripting API only.

Listening to external WS from the process

Hi
How can I listener to external web service?
My goal is to know if the WS call this current process (as bepel in openESB).
I start to do it by putting another Receive component in the process. Is it the best way?
I got this error: The Receive activity 'Receive' does not use correlation set.
How to set correlation?
Thank's and have a nice day,
Yael

I'm not sure I understand the first part of your question. Do you want to place some sort of interceptor between a WS client and the BPEL engine that receives requests from that client (via a binding component)? If so, there are various ways to do this, depending on the protocol used, and your purposes in using such an interceptor (debugging or application function?)
As for the error you got: your process would appear to need correlation sets, and simply adding a <receive> activity breaks the correlation rules of WS-BPEL. The problem arises from the fact that you can have multiple instances of the same process running at once. A <receive> activity needs to be able to figure out which instance an incoming message belongs to. The is called correlation: some piece (or pieces) of the incoming message must uniquely match a correlation key (or keys) for a running process instance.
For more information see the WS-BPEL 2.0 Primer, at [http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/Primer/wsbpel-v2.0-Primer.pdf|http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/Primer/wsbpel-v2.0-Primer.pdf] .

BPM 11g: Adding external application link to process workspace

Hi,
In my project, I have a requirement to show a search link the applications panel of the process workspace (link will trigger a ADF application). Currently it is being implemented using a process with a single initiator task. The disadvantage of this approach is that a new instance is created for every new search. It unnecessarily invokes BPM which is not required as there isn't any flow.
In 10g, we can implement this using a 'Global Interactive Activity'. Is there any equivalent to that in 11g or any other other workaround so that I can only have the application link in the workspace instead of creating a instance every time?
Thanks,
Ravi

HI,
In 11g you have the concept of Global Links. You can refer to http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/user.1111/e15175/bpmug_ext_apps.htm#BACCACGI fro example of how this can be acheived
I think there are also some samples on java.net for Oracle BPM Suite however this appears to be down at the time of posting so I can not validate this.
Hope this helps

Automatic Transfer Order for GR from External vendor and from Process Order

Hi Expert
We need to implement the logic for automatic transfer order,
the Idea when we Receive the Goods from Vendor and while posting goods via Migo we want that the system create automatically the TO.
the same approach to be implemented for GR from Process Order we need that the system create TO directly to the right Bin
Your support is higly recommanded
Olfa

Many thanks for your support
I made what you illustrated in your previous message for the Mvt type 501:
There is a pop up screen which displayed asking me to create TO for Material Document
Please find attached the related screens
And please note that the Material Master was updated accordingly
Please note
Please correct me if I made a wrong step

BPM process to manage business data vs Business Data in RDBMS

Hi all,
I have so far seen BPM as a pure business process tool rather than a data management one even thought BPM provides for managing data. If in case, we have a nice Business Process, which also collects plenty of related business data, what would be the suggestion?
1. To store Business Data in RDBMS and provide BPM with just enough info. for the process.
(or)
2. To store Business Data in BPM Business Catalog & do away with RDBMS (ofcourse BPM uses RDBMS for dehydration )
In our project, we are discussing this and some points in favour of approach (1) are:
i. For web based applications with multiple UI forms to collect data, storing data in RDBMS is way better on performance than accessing/storing in BPM business catalog
ii. Data Retention of Business Data in BPM needs special consideration which may lead to dumping data eventually in RDBMS
iii. UI frameworks help build UIs quick with a known data model rather than over APIs exposed by BPM
iv. Reporting over an RDBMS data model is easier than over a Business Catalog in BPM
Are these points valid or is approach (2) having other advantages to consdier?

I think I'm just backing up what you had on your original post, but here's what we typically tell customers when this comes up.
This has long been a best practice recommended by Oracle. In Oracle’s Performance Tuning for Oracle Business Process Management Suite 11g document , on page 17 it states:
"Minimize the amount of data stored in the process instance. Obviously, there is a tradeoff between the cost of storing data locally compared to storing keys and retrieving data for use within the process, which needs to be considered.
A reasonable starting point would be to model the process state to hold only values that are needed to control the process flow and keys to get any other (external) data on an ‘as needed’ basis. If retrieval is too frequent/slow, or the systems holding that data are not always available, then move more data into the process."
You touched on this, but decoupling the process payload and the underlying data for these reasons:
1. The underlying data and the processes typically have different lifecycles and need to be independent of one another
There is a need to maintain each at different times
They are typically modified by different groups of people with differing skills
The data stored in a database is typically the “source of truth” that sometimes must be able to be accessed and easily manipulated by applications outside of Oracle BPM; if stored as process instance data, instead of SQL extracting data from a database, the outside applications would need to access it through Oracle BPM APIs they are not necessarily familiar with
2. Lightweight process data persistence improves performance
The underlying message contract between the process instance and the engine that persists the payload should leverage key values where possible (think primary keys / relational keys from classic DBMS design patterns), rather than defining instance variables for every data element. The performance of the Oracle BPM engine is improved and the data for the instances are rendered faster.
The process instance is carrying the necessary process payload, rather than a bloated payload. Only the information germane to the current activity should be retrieved and rendered. This allows the application server to run more efficiently.
At each step in the process, the process payload is hydrated and then dehydrated (read from the engine’s underlying database tables and then written back to the tables). If this information is stored in an external database, there is no need for the overhead of this hydration and dehydration of large amounts of data to occur.
At each step in the process, if stored externally in a separate database outside of Oracle BPM, only the data required is read and / or updated when it is required to do so.
3. Decoupling helps speed development
Oracle BPM was built with the Decoupled Model View Controller (MVC) pattern in mind
One of its strengths is the architecture‘s business services layer that can make the source of the data transparent. Given a single key value stored in the process instance payload, services can be invoked from the process and the human steps in the process that represent the “real source of truth” that the business needs.
The MVC pattern’s model layer assumes that given the process’s key value, it is then possible to easily access underlying business data from a variety of sources including databases, EJBs and web services. Although storing all of the information inside the process payload can be considered one of the model’s business service sources, the overhead of using this in production systems is not recommended.
Once exposed, the business services can be reused by any business process needing the information.
User interfaces created with Oracle’s Application Development Framework (ADF) have out-of-the-box components and operations that take advantage of this MVC pattern. Some examples of these out-of-the-box patterns that do not have to be programmed include:
Database table information can easily displayed using Next and Previous that automatically retrieve the next or previous sets of rows
Similarly, scrolling in a table with many rows up and down renders data automatically
Both server and client side validations and rules
Database dropdowns and cascading dropdowns
Forms automatically created with Master / Detail patterns
4. Decoupling reduces the complexities arising from data synchronization
When orchestrating various external systems into a process, care must be given to account for “Systems of Record” and the purview these systems have over data values
Decoupling process instance data so that only key values are in the payload allow the Systems of Record to continually update the subservient element values without fear of stagnant data in the process
Participants in the process receive the most current data values when dealing with process instances
When data objects span several process instances, finding and updating data is easier if stored in a databaseExample: Process instance based on Orders. Several process instances may involve orders for a single customer. When the order changed, no problem, just find the process instance using correlations and updated it. When customer info changed, you need to synchronize any number of process instances. Placing the data in an RDBS made the solution simple. Simply updated the customer tables and all orders now have the latest info. No need to find related process instances and update them.
Some BPM events don’t carry sufficient information and need enrichment to process events. With data stored in the payload, there is no easy way to enrich the event data. This is especially true with ACM events. Events in ACM do not have instance information. Storing data in the database will prevent a costly work around using a dedicated process and correlations to get the info needed.
5. Decoupling facilitates the data capture for reporting and archiving
Keeping data in the BPM payload takes away the option to do custom reporting (outside of BAM) and archiving of business data.
Storing data in the RDBMS makes possible to create custom reports (outside of BAM) which would be not be possible or hard to do if all data lived in the BPM payload. Also, if you wanted to capture custom data changes or progressions thru a BPM and/or BPEL instance, RDBMS tables have a clear advantage over payload information. Payload (in most cases) would not have the data progression captured, and also reading data progression from the logs is not a recommended option.
Many organizations have data retention policy, which requires data to be archived and be accessible. Archiving and data accessibility is very limited if data is stored in the BPM payload.
6. The need for process Intelligence goes beyond the instance life cycle
Instances get cleaned up from process database and many organizations are interested in not only keeping the business data but also all the BPM related intelligence related to audit trail, KPIs etc. BAM data getting to BI cubes is one of the ways to ensure that intelligence lives on, but viewing process audit maps, audit trails and knowing what attachments were part of the process is a very common use-case. For the latter, the common patterns used are the use of UCM or other ECM products to store the correlated set of documentation that can be brought together in a Webcenter like content portal for historical research and auditability purposes. That, couple with an application database strategy to keep correlated application data would paint the full picture for the business users.
Hope this helps,
Dan
