GRAB activity how to .. ?

Hi there,
I have a Role that grab from every other role to the point that the project is cluttered with arrows and lines. How to simplify this GRAB'ing to the least cluttering?
I am thinking about how to code a grab within each role, to grab itself to the GRAB role?
It is worth the effort? or anyone knows how to go about a better solution or how to code this?
Thanks

wat i meant was...since as far as i can understand..the GRAB role can grab all instances from all activities...*u can change the runtime property -Grab Type to From ALL/to ALL option*...in that case u dont need to add in coming and outgoing transitions from grab activity....Your suggest is interesting, but I do not think it will work for me, we want to our team lead to grab the developers and redirect their activities, not to grab our project manager or vp. grab ALL/to All may put us in trouble.
Is there anyway we can grab all lower roles not the ones higher than where the grab is sitting?
Thanks

Grab activity - Queries

Hi,
I was looking into Grab activity. I have few queries..
1. Defined Grab - we have both in & out transitions. What value is added by Grab over here? For me it looks simple flow
2. From all - After each activity in the process, instance will come to Grab but there is only one out transition from Grab. Not able to visualize how it is used in aprocess & how the fow(sequence) is managed
3. From All-To all - Here actual process flow (as it gets executed) will be based on User choice for "To" from grab. Is it right understanding?
It will be really great if someone could give business example of how Grab can be used in a process.
Thanks

How wud u do it using Global Interactive.. I mean PAPI code can only be used outside BPM .. I guess?
So where do u write this PAPI code and point it to assign a particular participant to a particular GRAB activity out of a number of participants in the same role i.e. manager?
Do you use a screenflow inside the Global Interactive and then use Prepare - Commit Methods or how do u call the PAPI code from a Global Interactive to assign the participants to a GRAB activity at runtime?

Grab activity with PAPI-WS 5.7

I have a process with 3 roles, and i have an interactive activity (external) in role 2 with the possibilty of making a grab (external) this activity in the role 3.
How to grab this activity with papi-ws? If i trying run the grab activity the exception informs that is here in another activity (interactive) and if I want grabbed this activity I need take it by workspace.
I know with papi (not papi-ws) is it possible. With papi-ws is possible "grabbed" activity?
My version is 5.7

Yes it's possible with PAPI-WS.
1.) you just use activityCommit method in PAPI-WS, and i would suggest that you implement who gets which activity in ALBPM studio for each activity since this is process related information, and it will be easier.
2.) you have instanceGetEvents method to get AuditTrail. But i found out that there is some mistake in WSDL of PAPI-WS since you cannot get any java.lang.Time objects....there are properties for getInstanceStamp for example but it returns PAPI-WS Time object which has no information about datetime.
3.) never used that, so i don't know

Code Within a Grab Activity

Hi Everyone,
I have some questions regarding the grab activity in ALBPM 6.0:
1.) When is the code contained in the activity's main task executed, before the grab or after the grab's target activity has been selected?
2.) If it's the latter, how do I know/get which activity the user has selected in the grab? I'm asking since automatic activities are not visible in the grab yet all my interactive activities should have some processing done for them before they are executed. I want to do some activity-specific processing after a target has been selected in the grab but before the instance get's redirected.

Here is what you do:-
1) Create a screenflow with 3 activities ,2 automatic and 1 UI Interactive Activity.
2) 1st activity will be an automatic activity where you put your code to assign participants like the participants list obtained from the db, the activity names etc..
3) In the UI Interactive Activity, create an UI which displays this info to the end user. The end user can then select an activity and the participant name from the drop down list from the UI and submits.
3) In the next Automatic Activity, assign the participant based on the info selected i.e. participant.next = participant.find("name") and then appropriately direct the flow to the particular activity selected via. GRAB. This will assign that activity to that user automatically.

Is itpossible recover BPM Object instance from Screenflow in Grab Activity?

My process has two roles: role1 and role2.
role2 has an activity of type "Interactive" and the implementation type of this activity is Screenflow, in this Screenflow I have an instance variable of the type BPM Object.
role1 has a Grab Activity from Interactive Activity that describes above, the Grab Activity has a unconditional transition to another Interactive Activity and this Interactive Activity has the same implementation type of the Interactive Activity of the role2 and points to the same Screenflow.
I need to recover the values of the BPM Object that filled in role2, in other words, I need the same instance of the BPM Object in Interactive Acitivity of the role2 in the role1.
If an user filled a field called "name" of BPM Object in the Interactive Activity of the role2, it needs to see that value in the Interactive Activity of the role1 after grabbed this activity of the role2 to role1.
Is it possible?

Hi,
Sure it's just me, but I got a bit lost with the description of what you're trying to do. One place I got lost was in the discussion of roles. Roles are used in Oracle BPM processes for a variety of reasons, but I'm not sure they're germane to your problem so I'm trying to rephrase your question without their use.
Here's my attempt to rephrase what it is that I think you're trying to do:
1. I think you have two activities. I'm naming them "Check Credit" and "Final Check"
2. I'm guessing you have a transition between the two activities "Check Credit" and "Final Check"
3. Your process has an instance variable that is a BPM Object that I'm naming "customer". Since it's a BPM Object type, it has a variety of attributes (e.g. customer.name, customer.address, etc.)
4. You have a Grab activity that has its "Runtime" property set to be "Defined" (meaning you have transitions defined coming into and out of the Grab activity). I think you might have a transition going from the "Final Check" activity to your Grab activity and I think you might have a transition going from the Grab to the "Check Credit" activity.
Does this describe your process? I'm assuming you probably want to have the instance variable revert back to original values of the instance variable object before work was done in one of the activites, but don't want to head too far down this path until you confirm that this is what you want to know.
Thanks,
Dan

I have the exact same issue. I can print one document and then I get the error mentionned above ("adobe creation cannot continue because acrobat is not activated"). Then I need to reboot in order to be able to print a new document.
I have suite and went to Photoshop as suggested, but this program is already activated. I tried to launch Acrobat Pro but it won't.
I'm using the Design and Web Premium CS6 Suite on Windows Vista.
Thank you so much for your help.

Go to Settings > Messages and turn iMessage OFF.
Then go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset Network Settings. Your phone will restart. You will not lose any data, but you will have to re-enter any Wi-Fi network passwords.
Once the phone has re-started and you have a network connection (either 3G or Wi-Fi), turn iMessage back ON.

Grab Activity Hangs in BPM

Hello,
In the Process Community, when a user clicks on the grab activity, the grab hangs at the grab instance on the first click. Is there a way to get the instance to move along so that it passes the grab to the next activity?
Thanks.

Mariano,
I just read through this thread, and I have a follow-up response.
If I have a "defined" Grab - one transition leading TO it, and one transition going AWAY FROM it, then I attach a screenflow to the grab so that the user who grabbed the item can do something, I would like the process to automatically continue along to the next Activity that the outgoing transition leads to.
The documentation reads like that should be the default behavior:
Post-conditions
Defined Grab: Once marked complete, instances are sent to the next activity in the process via one of the outgoing transition lines.
But when I test, it performs more like you describe in this discussion thread (Actually 3 step process). It does not go to the next activity in the process via the outgoing transition line. Instead, after I complete the screenflow, for the grab, then I have to "Send" it by checking it off and clicking the send button. So the 3 steps are:
1) Click Grab Icon (to grab the instance)
2) CLick Execute button (to run the screenflow related to the Grab)
3) CLick the Send button
I found that to "mark it complete" so that it will automatically go to the next activity you can set action = RELEASE in the outgoing parameters for the screenflow.
SO now it it 2 steps:
1) Click Grab Icon (to grab the instance)
2) CLick Execute button (to run the screenflow related to the Grab)
Thus, by adding "Action=RELEASE", I am able to alleviate the user from having to click the SEND button.
Regards,
-Brian

Hide the Grab activity

The BPM process map can be showed in runtime.
There is a (global) grab activity in a process. Can it be hided in the process map?
In BPM studio, it can be showed.
However, in the BPM (10g) workspace, this grab activity cannot be showed in the process map but it is still in the process and can work properly.
In BPM studio 10.3.1, I can hide the role. However, if I click save icon, the hided role appears again.

I don't think its possible to hide any activities from the process map. Within studio, you can only hide them from your view but even that functionality is buggy....
