External Task - Help!
Hello everyone, Can someone provide me some samples of using External Tasks (External Executables and File Download). Thanks in advance!
Hi,
File download tasks should be self-explanatory.
One note is that you can use file:// syntax to get files from the network... for example:
URL: file://servername/directory/subfolder/filename.type
Filename: targetfilename.type
External tasks are more variable and tend to vary by O/S. The actual task itself will normally simply call an executable script. An example is the Dow Jones Watchlist external task that comes with Oracle Watchlist Screening that calls a script in the commandarea of the EDQ config directory.
The external task simply runs the stated script and the job manager works with its exit status.
Regards,
Mike

External Task - prepared and commit method
Hey guys,
I have a problem with External Task. I don't know how make a prepared and commit method for use with J2EE Application Server.
Anyone have an example?
tksI am having some issue with the Externhal Task prepare and commit method,
Actually I am ponting the interactive activity to external Task and in the external task i am getting instanceID , participantId and activity as query paramenters.Using those query paramemeters i am initalizing the ProcessServiceSession and then making call to prepareActivate Method as below.
I am getting query string instnaceId value like " %2FScorecardChallenge%23Default-1.0%2F4%2F0 " .
And I tried to call the IntsnaceID method InstanceId.getProcessId(instanceId), but this getProcessId method gives Null value.
Is there any idea why i am getting the Null processID value for the instanceIdString " %2FScorecardChallenge%23Default-1.0%2F4%2F0 ".
My sampel code looks like below ....
String instanceId = this.getRequest().getParameter("instanceId");
String activity = this.getRequest().getParameter("activity");
String participantId = this.getRequest().getParameter("participantId");
this.getRequest().setAttribute("activity",activity);
this.getRequest().setAttribute("isFromBpm","true");
try
System.out.println("########### BPM params" + instanceId + " : " + activity + " : " +participantId);
ProcessServiceSession bpmSession = ConnectPAPI.createSession(participantId,this.getRequest().getRemoteHost());
String pid=InstanceId.getProcessId(instanceId);
System.out.println("Process ID value "+ pid);
System.out.println("Instance ID value "+ InstanceId.getInstanceId(instanceId));
System.out.println("Instance ID value "+ InstanceId.getInstanceIn(instanceId));
if(bpmSession != null)
{ try{
Arguments args = bpmSession.activityPrepare(activity,instanceId,Arguments.create());
Map argument =(Map) args.getArguments();
Iterator it = argument.entrySet().iterator();
while (it.hasNext()) {
Map.Entry pairs = (Map.Entry)it.next();
String key = (String)pairs.getKey();
Object value = pairs.getValue();
System.out.println("########### BPM args" + key + " : " + value + " : " );
But my problem here is I am getting null pointer exception like below ( I found that null pointer exception is coming because processID ivelue is null).
Stack Trace is output :
Process ID value null
Instance ID value %2FScorecardChallenge%23Default-1.0%2F4%2F0
Instance ID value -1

I am getting error "....... is not located in one of the designated command areas.
I tried even specified like below still no luck, someone please help me with this.. Thanks in advance!!!

Thanks in advance!Hi,
See the online help section on external tasks - particularly the section regarding security considerations.
I suggest you put your "java -jar jmxtools.jar ........." command in a batch/file and drop this in the config/commandarea folder. Use the name of the batch file/script as the 'command' parameter of the executable external task.

External Task not working from job
Hi,
I am trying to call a batch file which copied fdr files from one folder to another and runs sarmanalyzer to generate csv files in the edq landing area.
The batch file is working fine when called from command prompt or double clicked in the edq server, but does not work as expected when called from project or job.
I generated a log file which confirms that the log file is being executed by the job to the last line, but the file copying and sarmanalyzer commands simply do not work.
Any pointers are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Interactive activity, external task example???
Hi,
I'm trying to search for a simple external task example, however it is totally imposible to find anything ... :(
I would like to make a few questions about it. When you create an external task in a interactive activity, you can specify an URL where the request will be redirected when you click on a external task, but how do you send the information about the specific process you want to work with in the URL? is it possible to pass parameters to this URL ? which is exactly the correct use of the external URL configuration? if I pass the control to an external system, how this system is able to know which BPM process instance to work with?
Regards,
Antonio.Hi,
I've recently found out that Aqualogic simply sends the information about the process as request parameters to the external system:
taskIn:0
activity:TareaExterna
instanceId:/ExpenseReport#Default-1.0/6/0
participantId:Peter Jones
Very easy, however it is quite frustrating not finding anything about it. I agree with you that it is an upcoming technology, however the documentation of a product should have a minimum of quality, specially coming from an important company as BEA. They offer a functionality and simply do not explain how it works.
In any case, thanks a lot for answering my question!! :)
Best regards,
Antonio. -
External task and Multiple-join
In a process, the order of activities is: Begin->interactive activity A -> multiple -> interactive activity B -> Join -> interactive activity C
This process has 2 instance variable, var1 and var2.
var1's type is BPMObject
var2's type is String.
PBL code in Mulitple is as follow.
---------------------------Multiple------------------------------
participants as Participant[]
ts as String[]
ts=var1.selectParticipants;
v as Int
v=length(ts)-1
for i2 in 0..v
do
participants(i2)=Participant.find(name : ts(i2))
end
for each p in participants do
copy = clone(this)
copy.participant.next = p
copy.var1.voteResult="O"
end
The main task type of interactive activity B is set to external.
The PBL code in the interactive activity B is as follow
------------------------interactive activity Prepare--------------------------------------------------------
var1.voteResult=arg1
arg2=var1.voteResult
arg1 and arg2 in this interactive activity are fine.
Interactive activity B does not have a commit method .
The PBL code in the Join is below.
---------------------------------------------------Join-----------------------------------------------
var2=var2+"*"+copy.var1.voteResult
I also try: this.var2=this.var2+"*"+copy.var1.voteResult
However, it only outputs *
It only output *. The number of * equals the number of branch.
The main task of Interactive activity C is an external task.
This activity only has a very simple prepare method: arg1=var2
arg 1 is the argument. I just want to see the value of var2. However, the value of var2 is just *
I cannot get the value of each branch.
How to get the correct value of each branch?I change the value type to Int. Then, it works.
How to get the value of String type? -
Hi
I have tried to look everywhere for some tutorial or example on how to use external tasks (in Oracle BPM 10gr3). What must be done in the studio and what has to be done in the code. Does anyone have any examples or tutorials on how to use external tasks? What exactly means prepare method? Is it that when (external) client calls prepareExternalActivity()-method, this specified method in BPM-engine is executed. But how exactly this can be done?
Another question is that does Oracle BPM 10gr3 support asynchronous web services ? Can I call asynchronous web service from process?
Thanks for advance
Best Regards TuomasIf you look at the Variables view on the left when editing your prepare method there should be an arguments section. An argument marked as an output argument in this method will be passed to the client when the prepare method is called. Passing a BPM Object will require a lot more code on the client side though, because those class definitions won't exist there. The simpler way is to pass out a Java object that is cataloged into BPM and have the same java class on the client side, or pass out a XML string that can be parsed by the client then.

External task - run batch file as administrator
Hi,
My name is Sid. I am working on developing an EDQ project to parse a collection of log files.
I have run into a roadblock on the first step!
My EDQ server is on a Windows Server 2008 platform.
I am calling a batch file that copies these log files between two locations.
The batch file copies the files fine when i run it as administrator from the commandarea in EDQ server, but it does not work when called from the External Tasks in EDQ.
I tried using the runas user:/Administrator in the batch file but that does not work either.
Would greatly appreciate any pointers in this regard.
Thank You,
SidWith runas you in fact logon to another seesion. So cmd is started with his own starting directory (being where it is located, system32).
I would recommend never to rely on the working dir for a batch file or script, but to always include the full path to the needed command/executables. If needed you can use environment variables to get the pathes of user-customised folders (for example the %usersprofile% variable).
Using .lnk files (normal shortcuts) you can specify the working dir to start in if you would really need that functionality.

8$ paypal to whoever helps me fix my itunes prob. external hd help
I recently bought a seagate external hard drive, which I immediately started moving all of my music, videos and pictures to. It was recognized as my E: drive. after a few weeks of normal use with itunes to play my music, my computer began to recognize the drive as the F: drive. I hadn't changed the usb port or settings on the drive, it was just now the F: drive, and it still had all of my music on it.
Ever since, whenever I tried to open itunes, it says "E drive not valid" and refuses to start the program. It still thinks I have my itunes in the non-existent E drive!
I tried to uninstall, re-install, delete the program etc. I also tried moving all of my music back to my hard drive, which still had no effect on itunes being able to start. none of these work, all citing "E drive not valid"
I need to know how to get itunes to point to my "F" drive to start, or how to change my HD back to E:
sorry for the long explanation
But I need help!Go to Programs->Administrative Tools->Computer Management then access the disk management. From there right click on the drive in question to access the option to change the drive letter back to E

Mavericks mac usb external display help
I have read several reviews that say there are some usb external displays that don't work with mavericks. I really wan't to have another monitor besides the one out of my thunder bolt cable. I understand that i need to update my drive and that might be why the reviews are the way they are they did not update there drive. I would just like help finding one that i could use. Thank you
I believe most if not all USB display adapters use the 'DisplayLink' standard. If so I would suggest going to the following page and reading the details about Mavericks support.

Cannot hear any sound through my external speakers - help!
I'm running 10.6.4 on my imac 27". Can hear sound though the internal speakers, but even when I plug externals in and restart I can't see any option in the sound system preferences to let me hear through the external speakers. It's odd. Can anyone help?
More information will help.
Is this a problem that just started for you, or have you never been able to plug in headphones or external speakers and have them work?
Are you sure you are plugging into the correct jack on the computer? On my slightly older iMac I sometimes reach around to the back and hit the wrong jack.
When I open "Sound" in System Preferences and hit the "Output" tab, I see "Internal Speakers" listed. Then when I plug in my headphones the "Internal Speakers" automatically changes to "Headphones."
Is this what you see on your computer?
Good luck.

I just got a vga to mini vga converter, and it worked great...until I turned off my external monitor (I use it for mirroring I didint use any of that hack stuff) So when I turned it back on, anc clicked detect display, the light on it flashes (not the display the little button) to green, then went back and it diidnt work! The display is an old 17 inch apple studio display (green)
Being over here rather than over there, can't help you take advantage of the best CyberMonday deals (we don't have no such thing). Cords will be contingent on what you buy; if possible try to get a display with HDMI input, with DVI as a distant second choice. VGA is unacceptable for a digital display worthy of a Mac. If you have a Retina, the HDMI is built in and you'll only need the cord. Else you will have to buy a Thunderbolt to whatever converter plus the cord; here again, you can buy Thunderbolt to HDMI cords that do away with the intermediate dongle. As for clamshell mode, you'll need to get an external keyboard and mouse too: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131

Switcher needs External Disk help.
I'm a new Mac user and have an issue I'm hoping I can get help with. I have a 200GB external HDD that I have partitioned. The larger partition is setup in the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format, the smaller partition (conatining all of my info I want to transfer from my PC) is formated in the Windows NT Filesystem format. The problem I'm having is that somehow the Windows format has become "Read Only". I want to move all the info to my Mac OS format, but when I do so I'm told that "The item "<name>" is being used by Mac OSX and can not be used" or something very similar. Anyone have any idea what's going on here?
NTFS is a read-only filesystem on OS X. If you needed to write to that partition you should have formatted it FAT16 or FAT32.

----------------------------------------------------------------Hi Satinder,
This time I change something in the process.
1, the process still has 3 interactive activities: jcooperkeyin, tojava, Interactivejstein.
2, I create a BPMObject including amount (decimal, 2) , purpose
3, the main task of jcooperkeyin is a screenflow: set values to purpose and amount
4, tojava activity is external.
Prepare method name: tojavaprepare
method contents:
arg1.amount=var1.amount
arg1.purpose=var1.purpose
Commit method: tojavacommit
method contents:
var1.purpose=arg2.purpose
var1.amount=arg2.amount
5, I create an instance variable name var1 and its type is BPMObjec
6, the argument module is changed to out
7, I change the java prepare method code as you commend:
8, After I run the java prepare method, I get some new errors which as follow:
