Global creation activity

I create and test a process in BPM studio 10g and deploy it to the BPM standalone 10g in the same machine. It is fine.
Then, I copy the ***.esp file and deploy it to the BPM standalone 10g at another machine. The gloable creation activity is missing.

I'd be the first to agree that you should not have to do this to get your Global Interactive and Global Creation activities to show up on Enterprise, but you might want to try stopping and restarting the Engine. This usually refreshes everything in my Applications folder. I usually have to do this the first time I deploy a project to Enterprise Standalone.
Hope this helps,

Initiating Global creation activity by quering a database table.

Hi,
I want to start the BPM process using
a) Use a query result for the initial global creation activity. ( -- I have an catalogued object which returns 'docNo' and 'status' column values from a database query already.)
How do I do this piece wherein I call the automatic activity from the global creation activity.
I want the
b) User clicks on the Review Claim link to pull up the claim to approve the claim. -- secondary part ( use the docNo to pull up claim detail from the database and present in the form for approval)
So there are 2 parts, List the claims awaiting approval and then the individual approval.
How do I get the user to log into a BPM workspace ( login screen) and get a list of claims for approval.
Example:
doc1#, amount, <Approve ReportLink>
doc2#, amount, <Approve ReportLink>
doc3#, amount, <Approve ReportLink>

Hi Angelo,
Looks like part of your thread was cut off. This is mostly to see if I might be able to fill in the blanks.
I'm guessing you are thinking about using a Global Creation activity to perhaps bring up a list of claims and that the row or rows returned from the database could each create a separate new work item instance. Did I get that right?
If that's correct, don't use a Global Creation. Instead use a Global Interactive to display the rows. For each row approved an new work item instance might then be created in the process for each one you approved. You'd use a Screenflow behind the Global Interactive. Inside the screenflow you'd have an automatic task to retrieve the rows from the database. This would then flow to a Interactive task inside the screenflow that has been assigned a BPM Object presentation to display the rows inside a Group. You'd then follow this with another automatic task that looks at the Group (array) of items selected in the UI and then programmatically create a work item instance for each one selected.
Hope this helps,

Equivalent of Global Interactive Activity in 11g

Hello,
Is there an equivalent of Global Interactive (not Global Creation) activity in OBPM 11g? What I intend to do is to be able to have certain stand alone activities in the workflow bounded independently to different taskflows (there taskflows are associated with the business process but not directly linked to it). E.g. Let's say I have a requirement that the 'Manager' role in the workflow should be able to assign the primary process participants to different Line of Businesses based on day to day needs. All I need is a UI to achieve this. But I am also trying to leverage BPM roles so that only 'Managers' are able to see this link in their workspace / worklist and able to access this UI. We have previously implemented this using 'Global Interactive' in 10g. All we did was to place the activity in a manager swimlane and associate a screenflow to it. Trying to understand what 11g has to offer for this requirements.
Thanks,
Gaurav

One of the things that helps end-users train themselves on a process is to present a picture of where a work item instance that they are working on is located in the process. This is commonly referred to as the “you are here” map. In Oracle BPM 10g, this is done like this:
1.     Add a Global Interactive activity to an abstract role (role with a name).
2.     Name this new Global activity “You are here”.
3.     Click Runtime in the left pane and check the "Has instance access" (do not check the checkbox labeled “Use activity for instance presentation").
4.     Click the OK button.
5.     Right mouse click this new activity and select Main task from the popup.
6.     Change the Implementation type to "Show Process Image".
7.     Click OK.
8.     Save the project and reload the project.
9.     Start the WorkSpace again. Log out and relogin.
10.     On the right side of the inbox, for an existing work item instance click the "Select action" dropdown.
11.     Click the new "You are here" action.
12.     Note the red flag above the activity where this work item instance is located in the process.
Hope this helps,

Global Creation with Input args

I create a Global Creation activity with a screenflow task. The screenflow has both a integer input argument (call it sfIntArg) and a output argument (of BPM object).
When I right-click on the Global creation activity and go to argument mapping, I have trouble mapping the screenflow input argument. I am not sure what to specify in the "Value" field to map to sfIntArg.
1. when I specify nothing to map to sfIntArg (sfIntArg = empty/null), then I get the message "express is expected".
2. when I do not specify the argument mapping, I get "All arguments must be satisfied"
3. when I choose a instance variable of the process, I get "xxx is not a static member of project.process.instance"
I want to invoke the Global Creation with WAPI and pass the value for sfIntArg to the Global Creation.

Hi,
It's odd that you see no errors in your project.
1. Make sure that you just have one project open in your Project Navigator tab.
2. In the Project Navigator tab, double click the name of the process. Look at the "Outline" tab directly below the Project Navigator tab (click Window -> Reset Perspective if you don't see the Outline tab). Expand Methods and double click each of the methods to find the offending logic with the "var1" syntax that is causing your problem. Do this for each of your processes.

Oracle db problem in Global Creation

Hi all,
We are experiencing problems at the start of a process itself..It worked well in the development and the QA environment but when it went into production it gave an error...at the start of Global Creation activity..
We suspect this error to be of Oracle Drivers wrongly installed...(whether they are XA or NON -XA) ..But we cannot properly figure out the exact error..
The only error that we get when we try and initiate the process is:--
Activity '/EmployeeChallenge#Default-1.0/GlobalCreation[CreateEmployeeChallenge]' task '' could not execute successfully. Detail:Method: '', Exception: 'The task could not be successfully executed. Reason: 'fuego.lang.RuntimeCILExecutionException: xobject.UserExceptions.SqlException@44a352d'.' Caused by: The task could not be successfully executed. Reason: 'fuego.lang.RuntimeCILExecutionException: xobject.UserExceptions.SqlException@44a352d'. Caused by: xobject.UserExceptions.SqlException@4785b0c fuego.papi.exception.ActivityFailedException: Activity '/EmployeeChallenge#Default-1.0/GlobalCreation[CreateEmployeeChallenge]' task '' could not execute successfully. Detail:Method: '', Exception: 'The task could not be successfully executed.

AbstractProcessBean.java:3308) at fuego.server.AbstractProcessBean.runGlobalActivity(AbstractProcessBean.java:2724
This error cannot be because we do not have any data in the db because we use a try and catch block which writing db queries and therefore that kind of error would be caught easily..
This error is a problem in the Oracle db drivers being XA and NON-XA..
Can anyone let me know where do I check for the NON XA and XA errors?
Is there something in the Process Adminsitrator to check and change
We are using the Weblogic Portal..
Is there anything in the weblogic portal to change..?

Save for later option in Global Creation

I have a business case where the user needs to save the form that he is completing for later completion. This has to happen only in the Global Creation activity. Since the instance is not created, how can I store information in ALBPM other than in the database and retrieve it when the user tries to initiate and refill the same form ?
Is there a way to do it in ALBPM where one can identify this SAVE FOR LATER request and re-open the form for completing it later?

Hi,
You can have an activity after the begin with similar form as the global creation activity and make this activity reachable when the user clicks on the 'Save for Later' button (using conditional transition right after the begin)
in this way, if the user decides to submit then...it will go the standard way ...but if clicks on the Save, data will be stored and the activity will be waiting for
the user in his or her inbox.
The bad thing here is that anytime, we save for later, an instance is created...
Hope this helps

Notes from Global Creation

I have a screenflow inside the Global Creation activity.
The screenflow has a form with a text field in it.
I use Note.create(text) method to copy the notes typed in the text field to the notes section of ALBPM.
But it does not let me copy the notes from the screenflow inside of a Global creation activity to the notes section of ALBPM.
It gives me a nullpointerexception.
Why does this happen?
I can copy notes typed in a text or multiline field from any other activity except the Global Creation activity to the notes section of ALBPM.

Hi,
Guessing you figured this out by now, but just after the Begin activity, have an automatic activity with the Fuego.Lib.Note.create("your note text here") logic.
You have to do this after the Begin activity because the instance you're attaching the note to really does not exist until the Begin activity. Know this sounds odd, but the Global Automatic activity is actually before the instance has been created.
Hope this helps,
Dan

Process creation using Global Automatic Activity - OBPM 10g

Hi, I would like create the process instance for my application on every 2nd business day of a month. I also have a calendar defined for checking business day. But I am unable to figure out to how use that calendar to determine second business day of any month. Global Automatic type is set to Automatic schedule and monthy option was selected. But I believe this would trigger the process on every second day of the month, without considering the fact whether its business day or not. There is Runs on Holidays checkbox, but not sure what it really does. If it checks for holidays then which calendar does it refers to. Hence, please let me know how can i specify a calendar or any alternate solution to trigger process creation. Thanks, Namit

But that would have a user to invoke the process..I want to invoke it automatically...I got a part of the answer...But it takes all instances..and creates multiple instances..I want to isolate the instances previously been transferred..What I am doing is ..Using a Global Automatic to invoke the other process.Writing a PAPI code to call the other process from this process...and Polling By Interval every 1m..
Here is a code:-
ProcessService ps;

logMessage("Process Service connected--->" );

How to get Participant's info in a global creation ?

I want to get current Participant's info in a global creation.
And so, I use to call Fuego.Lib.Participant.
But, this componet is described follows within online document.
This component is commonly used as the variable participant , which is predefined in every process.
In a global creation, participant is not predefined.
How to get participant's information in current global creation ?
Note.
I found a message in a thread that using Participant instead of participant.
<Re: User of an interactive global activity
But, I can't undestand to use Participant in a global creation by online document.
Edited by: yoshiy on 2010/02/24 14:31

In Re: User of an interactive global activity I mentioned that you should use "Participant" instead of the predefined variable "participant". This is true only inside of a Screenflow's automatic task. This is valid for any Screenflow (both Globals and Interactive activities).
To see what information you can get about the current participant, open the catalog's Fuego.Lib.Participant component. Here you'll see that you can retrieve the current participant's email, firstName, id, lastName, and their roles. Here's how to do this using logic inside an Automatic task in a Screenflow:
currentParticipantName as String
currentParticipantName = Participant.firstName + " " + Participant.lastNameDan

Create new instance through global interactive activity

Hi All,
I have a requirement where when instance is completed, I need to provide a link at instance end through global interactive activity. Once user clicks on that activity a screen appears where user clicks on button and new instance should be created.
Now the problem is I tried notifying the main process and then use process creation activity to create instance but this cannot be used as instance is already completed.
Second approach i used is processinstance.create method. But new insatnce is not getting created. Also i m not getting any exception.
Please reply as this is very important requirement.
Regards,
Yasmin

Create a new instance before the END activity is executed..
After the screenflow for the global activity pass a variable to collect the button value on ON CLICK..
If button value = true, then call a sub-process else END.. The sub-process does not need any Global activity to start the process . The values would be passed from the BEGIN activity of the sub-process itself.

Global Automatic Activity - Process to Process

Create Process via Global Automatic activity

Hi!
I´m trying to automatize some process, that can auto-execute one time at a day. For this, i'm thinking of use the global automatic activity, and I 've scheduled to execute (for testing) every minute. But this never happends
If the global has no bp.Method inside, obviusly, nothing happends. Hence, when i wrote this code:
logMessage "Se ha iniciado el proceso de consulta de calendario a las:" +'now'
using severity = INFO
ProcessInstance.create(processId : "/ConsultarCalendarioCompras", arguments : null, argumentsSetName : "")
how could i solve this?
Thanks

Hi,
Are you seeing your log INFO statement in the log file every minute? Assuming you are, I think all you're missing is a valid value for the third parameter. Try changing your logic to this:
ProcessInstance.create(processId : "/ConsultarCalendarioCompras",
arguments : null, argumentsSetName : "BeginIn")
. . .Once you get this working, take a look at this thread for information on how to pass in argument variables into the work item instance using the second parameter: Re: How to create Instace of another process from running process.
Hope this helps,
Dan

Global Interactive activity

Hi,
Could you please tell me how we can pass I/O arguments through PAPI WS/PAPI API to execute the Global Interactive activity, the main task defined for it is a Screenflow. Global Interactive activity is not having "Instance Access" check in the Properties option. We will then use these arguments inside the Screenflow for business process. As per my knowledge, for Screenflow mapping, we need to map "Value" with the appropiate arguments defined in the Screenflow argument mapping section. By default, "Value" shows predefined values.So, how we can map argument values coming from PAPI WS/PAPI API to this screenflow.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Global Interactive activity link to be displayed only at instance end

Hi All,
I have a requirement where link in right hand side dropdown at instance level should be shown only when instance is completed. For this I am using one global interactive activity with 'has instance access' option checked and also 'read only' option checked. It is visible when instance is completed as well as when alive. I dont want the later part. Could anyone advice?
Regards,
Yasmin.

Yasmin,
You need to persist your instance variables by inserting them into the database table. And then pull your compleled instances based a known parameter (let say a defined instance id that can be an oracle or sql row id).
Does this make sense to you?
Thanks

Unassign a task using Global Interactive activity.

Hi,
There is a task assigned to a particular user. I want to unassign that task from Global Interactive activity but it is not working. Steps followed by me are:
1. Global Interactive activity for unassigning any task at any time from the instance drop down.
2. A screenflow is called in the Global Interactive activity for unassign.
3. In the screenflow I have an automatic activity where I have written Participant.next=Participant.Unselect;
The log message in the automatic activity after the above written code shows participant value is blank. But when it comes out of the screenflow to the main process the participant automatically gets assigned. In the workspace the activity shows that it is still assigned to the user.
Note: I cannot use OOTB feature of Unassign because I need to show a screen with some reasons for Unassign, so I'm using a screenflow.
Kindly revert ASAP.

Hi Yasmin,
Try executing the code at the process level or use the product feature 'Unassign'.Hope it helps.
Regards,
Ritu S.
