How to call OWB Process Flow from APEX?

Hello.
I was wondering if there is a way that I can have a OWB process flow kick off from a button in APEX? I know you can have APEX perform PL/SQL upon being clicked, so I am wondering if there is a way that I can do the same for a process flow? We are looking to have a manual kick off for a job and we are trying to use APEX for this. Any information would be great!
Thank you

Hi,
Using SOAP ?if there is a way ... please provide some examples.
I finished my EDQ process, and now i am trying to find how to call it from APEX
My web service WSDL is
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Header/>
<soap:Body>
    <dn:request xmlns:dn="http://www.datanomic.com/ws" id="?">
      <dn:record>
        <dn:ID>?</dn:ID>
      </dn:record>
    </dn:request>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>You did not state your Apex version. If you are on 4.x then see

Call/Invoke an OWB Process Flow from a Windows Command/batch

Hi everyone,
I'm newbie in Oracle Warehouse Builder and I've developed some process flows to load data from one database to another.
One of these process, called "MAIN", is the beginning of the execution. I need to call these process flow (MAIN) from the Windows Command Line
or batch (.bat file) to schedule in Windows Sckeduler Tasks.
Anyone have an idea to how to do this?
Thanks a lot!

Check this blog post here that shows how to execute via sqlplus, which you will then be able to wrapper in a batch script or whatever to schedule.

How to stop OWB Process Flow job

I have a problem.
For scheduling OWB Process Flows I use EM (create Job - SQL Script) in which I schedule jobs with script @/home/oracle/scripts/oem_exec_template.sql.
Sometimes it happens, that the job doesn't finish and I also can't expedite it through Workflow manager because it is not listed there. So next executions for this job doesn't fire, because it is still active (it is shown in EM as Running …..and also I can't stop it there).
I also can't find the session for this job and also in dictionary I can't find the job, I went through these views, but nowhere I can't find any of my scheduled jobs, and of course also not the ones that are still running.
DBA_SCHEDULER_JOBS
DBA_SCHEDULER_RUNNING_JOBS
DBA_SCHEDULER_JOB_RUN_DETAILS
Where in dictionary can I find my jobs?
How can I kill my running jobs?
OS: Red Hat Linux 3
DB: 10.1.0.3.0
OWB: 10.1.0.2.0
I'm quite desperate about this isue,
Thank you,
Gorazd

Gorazd,
the best way to identify problem with processflow execution - using OWB Runtime Audit Browser.
Other variant - using public OWB runtime view, for example for reporting executions of you process run this select under OWB repository owner or any OWB user:
select created_on,elapse_time,return_result from all_rt_audit_executions
where object_name='<your processflow name in uppercase>' order by created_on;
RETURN_RESULT must be equal 'OK' and ELAPSE_TIME (in seconds) greater then 0.
If this query returns rows with null RETURN_RESULT or RETURN_RESULT<>'OK' or with zero elapse_time and this cases match (by date) with EM problems then you need analyze process executions in more detail with Runtime Audit Browser.
Alternatively use select from view ALL_RT_AUDIT_EXEC_MESSAGES / ALL_RT_AUDIT_MAP_RUN_ERRORS / ALL_RT_AUDIT_PROC_RUN_ERRORS.

Error when running the OWB process flow from the shell script

Hi,
I am able to deploy the process flow succesfully but when I execute the process flow from the shell script,I am getting the following error.Previously it worked fine.
I had to make some chnage in the IP address,so i had to deploy again.

Hi Kamal and kanakam kolla,
This is just to let you know that,I solved my problem little differently by creating a new location and deployed the process flow.Now my process flow is working fine when i call from the shell script.What i see is that, it does not update properly when we update and redeploy the process flow.So far this is the work arround i could think off and i succesfully tested this.
Thank you Kamal and kanakam kolla,for giving a thought towards my problem.
Thanks

Hi,
I've had a go.
How should I interpret the results of list_requests:
owner_owr@ORKDEV01> @list_requests
====================
DEPLOYMENTS
====================
Audit ID Status Name Date Owner
2706 READY Deployment Fri Nov 11-NOV-05 10:49:59 OWNER_OWR
11 10:46:37 CET 2
005
====================
DEPLOYMENT UNITS
====================
Audit ID Status Name Date Owner
2707 READY Unit0 11-NOV-05 10:49:59 OWNER_OWR
====================
EXECUTIONS
====================
Er zijn geen rijen geselecteerd.
owner_owr@ORKDEV01>
Whilst a process flow is executing the last query will list executions, all of which have status BUSY:
owner_owr@ORKDEV01> @list_requests
====================
DEPLOYMENTS
====================
Audit ID Status Name Date Owner
2706 READY Deployment Fri Nov 11-NOV-05 10:49:59 OWNER_OWR

005
====================
DEPLOYMENT UNITS
====================
Audit ID Status Name Date Owner
2707 READY Unit0 11-NOV-05 10:49:59 OWNER_OWR
====================
EXECUTIONS
====================
Audit ID Status Name Date Owner

395328 BUSY ONB:FULL_PREPARE 04-MEI-06 09:11:55 OWNER_OWR
395324 BUSY PF_ONB01:ONB 04-MEI-06 09:11:55 OWNER_OWR
owner_owr@ORKDEV01>
As an aside, I will attempt to get rid of the READY deployment and deployment unit using deactive_deployment.sql
Now, if I attempt to use deactivate_execution.sql on any of the executions with status BUSY I get:
owner_owr@ORKDEV01> @deactivate_execution
Voer waarde voor 1 in: 396136
declare
FOUT in regel 1:
.ORA-20003: The object is not in a valid state for the requested operation
ORA-06512: at "OWNER_OWR.WB_RTI_EXCEPTIONS", line 94
ORA-06512: at "OWNER_OWR.WB_RTI_EXECUTION", line 774
ORA-06512: at "OWNER_OWR.WB_RT_EXECUTION", line 90
ORA-06512: at line 4
owner_owr@ORKDEV01>
So all the seems to remain is to use abort_exec_request.sql
This does the job, but the script itself hangs.
I think it has to do with the l_stream_id not being checked again after the initial IF. I think it should probably be part of the loop condition as it is again reset in the do_acks inside the loop.
Cheers & thanks,
Colin

Hi,
Thanks but
Tried this but got following error
ORA-01919 - role OWB_D_OWBSYS does not exist.
Even tried in the obsys schema
Tried controcl centre owner as OWBSYS ( this is where the wb_rt_api_exec.run_task lives).
declare
v number;
begin
-- Test statements here
v := POR_execute_code('OWF_LOCN', 'PROCESS', 'WAREHOUSE_PF/POR7/POR_PF', ',', ',');
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(V);
end;Also tried the api itself - can execute mapping fine but problem with process flow says task not found/check type name and location
tried
works
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Result: ' || TO_CHAR(owbsys.wb_rt_api_exec.run_task(
'TERMSPRD_DECOM_LOCATION','PLSQLMAP','MAP_POR10', null, null, 1)));
Not working
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Result: ' || TO_CHAR(owbsys.wb_rt_api_exec.run_task(
'OWF_LOCN','ProcessFlow','POR_PF', null, null, 1)));
Tried WAREHOUSE_PF/POR7/POR_PF and POR_7/POR_PF but still no joy.
Any ideas?
Thanks fort your help so far

Problem when calling BPEL process (WS) from APEX

I am trying to add a web service call to a BPEL process I have created (tried a few others aswell), but every time I try to add the WDSL file I get the following error:
*1 error has occurred*
The WSDL document contains multiple SOAP bindings. Application Express only supports WSDL's with one SOAP binding. Click Create Web Service Reference Manually to continue creating a reference for this service.
It is a simple BPEL process which works fine when called from the BPEL Console, however I have no success when calling it from APEX.

Allow me to reply to my own thread, for the benefit of any others who might want to invoke a BPEL WS from APEX facing the same problem:
Apex does not seem to like asynchronous BPEL processes so the trick is to make a synchronous BPEL process call the asynchronous BPEL process.

How to Schedule OWB Process Flows through OEM

Hi,
I have successfully created mappings and process flows for my project.
But now I want to schedule the process flows through OEM.
Following are my DB configurations..
OWB Version : 10g R1 (Oracle SID LVDSGDEV ) on windows
Runtime Owner: ATS_RUN_OWNER (Oracle SID LVDSGDEV )
Runtime User : ATS_RUN_USER (Oracle SID LVDSGDEV )
Work Flow Schema: OWF_MGR (Oracle SID LVDSGDEV)
Source & Target DB : 10g (Oracle SID LVRUNDEV) on windows
Process which I want to Schedule is....
Process Flow Location: ATS_LOC
Process Flow Name: PKG_DM
Process Name: BASE_LOAD
Can someone please suggest me, the procedure to schedule this process flow.....

You may choose just to schedule the mapping directly through OEM. Create an OEM SQLPlus job that calls the script:
@c:\owb_home\owb\rtp\sqlplus_exec_template.sql;
Check the beginning of the sqlplus_exec_template.sql. It will show examples of the parameters it accepts and it has some documentation. It works nicely.

Oracle 10G Database Control and Scheduling OWB Process Flow

Does anyone know how to go about scheduling an OWB Process Flow from
Oracle 10G Data Base Control. I knew how to do this with Oracle Enterprise Manager 9.2 but we recently upgraded to Oracle Db 10G and the interface has changed significantly.
Now the interface seems to require a PL/SQL stored procedure to be executed.
Is there a template procedure that is installed with 10G Data Base Control as there was for 9.2 i.e. oem_exec_template.sql?
Thanks! Deadline approaching fast...
Marion

I've used the oem_exec_template.sql successfully with OWB 10.1 and Oracle 10G Database Control, with a little trial and error at first.
I'm assuming that your job execution environment is set up correctly, ie. that you can properly execute jobs via the host agent.
1. Log on to Database Control as SYSTEM, select Jobs from the links at the bottom of the page
2. In the Results section, Create Job, select "SQL Script" and press Go
3. In the General section, enter Job Name, and as SQL Script enter e.g.:
@/u01/app/oracle/owb_oracle_home/owb/rtp/sql/oem_exec_template.sql owb_runtime WF_LOC PROCESS MY_PROCESS , ,
4. In the Databases section, add your target database
5. In the Credentials section, I select "Override Preferred Credentials" and use the agent account (oracle on my Linux system) and db user owb_access (OWB Runtime Access user)
6. Review Schedule tab and submit
Comments on step 3:
- the oem_exec_template.sql script must be installed according to the path specified in step 3, on the database host where the OWB Runtime Repository is located
- owb_runtime is the owner of my OWB Runtime Repository
- WF_LOC is the name of my Workflow Location as seen in OWB Deployment Manager
- MY_PROCESS is the name of a deployed Workflow Process
- the commas indicate that I don't supply any system or custom parameters.
- step 3 is actually a shell command line that is interpreted by eg. /bin/sh on Unix or cmd on Windows, and must obey proper quoting rules. On windows, I had to specify the empty commas as "\," (including dblquotes)

Passing parameters from shell script to OWB process flow

Hi all,
I am running OWB process flow (using the template script provided by oracle) and i want to pass two date parameters as shown below:
sqlplus -s $SQL_USER/$SQL_PWD@$ORACLE_SID @$HOME_DIR/src/vmc_oem_exec_script.sql OWB_OWNER VMC_POST_DW_PF_LOC_SIT PROCESS VMC_NM1_PORT_MAIN "," "P_DATE_FROM=$DATE_FROM,P_DATE_TO=$DATE_TO"
How do i catch those values in process flow and pass those to mappings in Process flow?
Do i need to create PF variables with same names or any name will do?
Thanks in advance

This document is explaining how to pass data between activities in process flow.
I am passing parameters from a shell script.
Any ideas,how to pass parameters from shell script and then initialize the process flow variables based on those values and then pass them further to mappings.
Thanks

after deploy them success in runtime repository,
i run it ,it show me error following:

===========
please help me!
with best regard!

Hello,
our developers were getting this error code just the other day. They are using "sqlplus_exec_template" script to initiate these things. In our case, I had to do two thing:
1) Modify their "initiator" script (the one that connects to runtime access user, and then calls "template") - it has to use tns connectivity "user/passwd@service_name"
2) Create TNS entry (server side) for the "service_name" above.
Now these SQL*LOADER mappings run successfully.
