How to complete process with event listening inside

Hi all,
I have a workflow, a part of it contains a branch gate way:
Branch 1: Wait point (7 days)
Branch 2: Listening event
If after 7 days and no event is sent, the workflow auto emails user and closes
Oherwise it will route to another user.
I observe that if event is received, then at the end the process status can be COMPLETE. But if after 7 days and no event is received, after last user complete the form, the process status is still RUNNING.
I'm thinking about this approach: adding 1 sending event after wait point in branch 1, it send an event so that branch 2 can be completed.
Is there any other solution to complete this kind of process?
Thank you and regards,
Anh

instead of using a gateway and an event recieve, catch the event on the wait operation (so that the event icon is on the corner of the wait operation's icon). That way, the event is listened for only during the time that the wait operation is executing.You draw a route off of the operation, and you draw a route off of the event catch. If the event catch occurs, its route is followed but not the other. Make sense?

How can i handle with event, when i close a file (notped or word,excel..)??

How can i handle with event, when i close a file (notped or excel...). i want do something..
Edited by: Legy on Apr 21, 2008 11:45 PM

of course notepad.exe is closed again as soon as the operating system has completed the process of loading its content into memory...
And no "event" is fired when that happens, except maybe internal to the process that loaded the application to indicate that it's been loaded successfully and can now be executed.
But there's no way your Java process is ever going to receive that notification.

Hi,
now i am getting alerts from Event Linkage.
Here i take the scenario Sales order change.
BOR object : BUS2032
Event : Changed
Receiver type : <my alert>
Receiver call : Function Module
Receiver Functiona Module : SALRT_CREATE_VIA_EVENT
Linkage is activated.
when a sales order is changed receiver function module triggering the alert which is defined in Receiver type. That i am getting in my alert inbox. Upto this.. it is cleared.
Now the scenario is.. about Alert Container
in alert container i take element is BOR Object type BUS2032.
the questions are..
1. Is it correct to defined BOR object here to get data when Sales order has been changed.
2. What are the properties i have to take in Properties tab?
3. How to use alert container parameters in short and long text?
Here my clear intention is when a sales order is changed.. i have to get the data related to that sales order and it has to show in Alert.

Help with event listener

I'm having some trouble trying to figure out how this event listener will work.
The main application is building an arrayCollection of a calendarDay custom components which is displayed by a DataGroup.
Within each calendarDay custom component i may create an arrayList of a DriverDetailComponent custom components displayed within the calendarDay by a DataGroup.
If a user double clicks on the DriverDetailComponent that is two layers in I would like to change states of the main application. I'm having trouble figuring out what item in the main application to set the listener on. Please help.
I can't figure out how to post the below as scrollable code snips so this is very long.

How see complete list of events on calendar?

How see complete list of calendar events on IPhone 5 7.1

If you only see the events for one day , then you were accessing it from the Month view and not the day view. This is the month view, then adding the day list.
This is the day view, adding the list. As you can see, the icon at the top looks different. While similar, it is different, and leads to a different list. I explained how to see everything first.
Hope that helps now with the photos. Meg also mentions an alternative.

Workflow and processing with event messages

Are there any examples available on using the event message datatype.
We are using Interconnect and Workflow 2.6. Interconnect passes data to workflow in the form of the event message. Are there any examples/samples available on how to extract individual data elements from the message, and being able to re-set the values.

You might want to have a look at the Event System Demonstration process. A description is here:
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/ias/doc_library/90200doc_otn/integrate.902/a95265/demo39.htm
You can also refer to the following white papers:

How to create Icon with transparent shape inside

Hi All
I would like to create a vector icon with a transparent shape inside it, like in this image below:
So everything should be transparent except of course the dark grey area...
How Do I do that?
Below is a link to my AI file if you want it:

Thank you!

With just the book icon selected, release clipping mask. Select both items, Minus Front.
Is that what you did? What Illy version?
this is what I get, green rectangle was placed behind to see the "hole."

How deploy BPM process with ADF form?

Hi everybody,
I'm a newbie on BPM (11g) and ADF. I've created a BPM process and an ADF train into the same project.
I was wonder if I can deploy the ADF stuff and start to test only the train before hook up the ADF form with the UserActivity.
How I can do that? How can deploy it? Better create a jar or ear?
Any suggestions?
Best Regards.
Fairlie

Hi Daniel,
yes I have two separate projects - BPM and ADF - in the same applications.
For now, I'd like to work only on ADF project implementing the front end that I will use in next future into my BPM project.
Every time I click on Run on the main page in ADF project, JDev tries to deploy the entire application.
I need to work only on ADF for now and testing it. The soa server is on remote server.
I've tried to deploy the ADF project on remote server and I get this error:
'Weblogic Server Exception: weblogic.application.ModuleException: Failed to load webapp
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.adf.model.servlet.ADFBindingFilter'.
I've checked the oracle.adf.model library class path and It's ok...so I do not understand why I get this error.
What do you think is better to do? Trying to deploy the ADF with war, jar or ear...or...?
Thanks a lot for any suggestions.

How to trigger Process after Event

Hi,
I am trying to trigger a PC after an Event. This event is another PC variant. I know this will be Event= RSPROCESS but, How to get the value for Parameter.
Thanks in Advance

For Process Chain Adhoc scheduling
1)You can make the process chain to be trigered by an event.
You do so by having the Job that start the PC start after an Event.
Then you define your set of job's (tcode: SM37) and make sure these jobs fire the event that starts the PC.
There is an ABAP program you can use that fires events (FM -> BP_EVENT_RAISE).
try this in your ABAPcode:
CALL FUNCTION 'BP_EVENT_RAISE'
EXPORTING
eventid = 'Your Event'
eventparm = 'START'
target_instance = ' '
EXCEPTIONS
OTHERS = 01.
schedule ur process chain,
2)In the Start process of your process chain, select Direct Scheduling and then click the Change Selections icon. This will bring you to the Start Time window where you can put in the Date/Time you want to start your process chain. At the bottom of this window, click on the Periodic job box and you will notice another icon way at the bottom called Period Values. Click this to determine what frequency the job should be rescheduled (ie. daily, weekly, etc.).
3) u can do this by an alternate way--> click start process, --> selection "Maintain Variant", choose "Direct Scheduling". Next select "Change Selections", pick your date and time, set your period values , and activate it.

How to merge Photos with events?

I downloaded photos from a new camera today into a newly upgraded to iphoto '11 file. They appear in the "photo" databasebut are not in the Events file. How can I get them organized into that format too?

I "found" the events in question but now have another problem. My photos are organized by date, starting in 2007 with the oldest at the top and the most recent dates at the bottom. The newest imports went to the very top of the organizational scheme and I need them to appear at the end if possible. Is there a way to direct them as I want them?

Does anyone know how to sync iCal with events from your iPod Touch?

So I use my iPod for events more than I do with my MacBook. However I'm trying to sync iCal on my computer with the events on my iPod yet I haven't found a method that actaully works.
Does anyone happen to know of an effective method where you can move events from your iPod to your MacBook?

Update your Mac OSX to 10.9.3, syncing locally is back.

How can I check if a function is or is not called from the event listener? in Flash CS4 (AS3)

Hi,
I came across a little problem.
I put an event listener inside a for loop and the for loop inside a function.
I want the for loop to end as soon as the event listener inside the for loop calls its function.
Here is the general code for a better picture.
Code:
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, function#1);
function function#1(event:Event):void{
          if(something is true){
                    for(var i = 0; i < numOfmy_mcs; i++){
                              this["my_mc_"+String(i)].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function#2);
function function#2(e:Event):void{
//do something cool here
Thank you for any help!

that for-loop (if it executes), defines listeners for interactive objects. that will complete long before any object is clicked.
Well yes but it does it again and again (frames per second times seconds = number of times it goes through the code if i'm not mistaken), because it is inside a function, and through testing i found out that it works like this:
Example:
there are 5 my_mc's in my project: (my_mc_0, my_mc_1, my_mc_2, my_mc_3, my_mc_4)
if i click my_mc_0 function#2 is called and executed. BUT only after the loop finishes (i know this from tons of testing)...which is unnecessary since you cannot click two places at once. This might not be a problem in this example because i am only using 5 my_mc's buy if i use 500000000 my_mc's it would make a lot of difference.
is there a way to stop the loop if the function is called?
...maybe there is a better way to write it, the only alternative i know that works is if i manually write every single listener and this also is logical in this example but as i said next to impossible if the numbers get bigger.
-Note
I didn't specify this earlier but function#2 makes the if statement false so it wont jump back into it.
Thank you for the help I really appreciate it!
3rd edit...don't know what's wrong with me

How do I interact with a loaded swf?

Hi,
I have a "lesson" that I'm building that will display a series of "pages" based on an XML file. I have simple navigation buttons that work to page through the XML file. but I'd like to use load an external SWF file with buttons to use as my navigation panel. Everything is AS 3.0. The code to load the navigation movie looks like this:
// load navigator
   navLoader = new Loader;
   navLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, handleInit);
   navLoader.x = 50;
   navLoader.y = 200;
   lessonSprite.addChild(navLoader);
   navLoader.load( new URLRequest("Navigator1.swf"));
The loaded navigation movie has two buttons. How do I add an event listener to those buttons so that they call a function in the parent movie so I can detect when the user clicks on the button named "GoNext" in the loaded movie? I've tried several ways but I've had no luck. Could someone please point me in the right direction? This navigation panel is only one application of this sort of communication that I'll need in other parts of this type of lesson so I really need to figure out how to detect user interaction interaction with the loaded movie. Guess I need to know how to call a function in the parent movie from the loaded movie.
Thanks,
Peter H.

Hey Pete,
The answer that you seek and the simplest one as well will be from the MouseEvent. that you will most likely have applied to your loaded swf.
As long as both swfs are in the same domain, you wont have any issues with security and therefor, the MouseEvent. which bubbles up, will be able to reach your swf file which has loaded it.
You can then write your code in your loaded swf to simply listen to the loadedMovieClip by targeting the contents of navLoader just like this,
navLoader.content.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,onDown)
protected function onDown(me:MouseEvent){
now providing you have given your two buttons names in your loaded swf, you will be able to perform addition tasks by receiving the name of the target.
protected function onDown(me:MouseEvent){
var btnClip:Movie= me.target as MovieClip
          var btnName=btnClip.name
if(btnName==(button1)){
     //do the following
}else{
       //it was button two
button1 was just a random name in this case .
This will do the trick

Cell event listener

Hi,
Assume I have jtable which have three column: numberone, numbertwo, and result.....
I put value 1 into numberone column ( row one ), and put value 2 into numbertwo column (row one).... and when I press Enter or change the cell to down or left or right, suddenly result column is put value 3. This is simple addition jtable. How do I make such event listener. When I change the cell( after putting value in numberone column and numbertwo column ), the result column compute the value in numberone column and numbertwo column.

what's wrong????My testing stinks.import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;

How to make a dalog process custom events when blocked by modal dialog

Hi,
I would like to understand the way modal dialogs block other dialogs so that I can properly solve an issue I'm having with two modal dialogs, one blocking the other.
I have an application, netbeans platform based, that opens a JDialog, NewDiskDlg, with it's modal property set to true. This dialog is responsible for starting a thread that will process a given number of files, from time to time, depending on some conditions, this thread will send events to the NewDiskDlg.
When this thread is started, the NewDiskDlg creates a new JDialog, also with the modal property set to true. Both dialogs have the same parent, the main window. And this works as I expected, the second dialog, ActiveScanningDlg, opens on top of the NewDiskDlg and, until the thread stops, the dialog stays visible.
When the thread stops an event is sent to this two dialogs signaling that the job has been completed, and here is my problem. The second dialog, the one that is visible when the event arrives, receives the event and executes the dispose() method, releasing control to the NewDiskDlg in the back, but the NewDiskDlg does not receive the event and does not process it correctly.
I understand the no input can be sent to a blocked window, but does that include calling upon the window's methods?
I've been looking for some help on this but my search terms are not good enough to provide me with any useful information. I've also read the topic on the focus system that is present in the Java Tutorial but I feel that that is not what I should be looking at.
The following code is a snippet of the important parts that I described:
NewDiskDlg has the following methods to process the events
    public void readingStarted(ReadingEvent evt) {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                scanningDlg.showCentered();
    public void readingFile(ReadingEvent evt) {
        //DO NOTHING
    public void readingStopped(ReadingEvent evt) {
        Lookup.getDefault().lookup(MediaReader.class).removeListener(this);
        if (!showAgain) {
            dispose();
    public void readingAborted(ReadingEvent evt) {
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "", "", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);//TODO: i18n on the error messagens
        Lookup.getDefault().lookup(MediaReader.class).removeListener(this);
    }ActiveScanningDlg processes the events like this:
    public void readingStarted(ReadingEvent evt) {
        //DO NOTHING
    public void readingFile(ReadingEvent evt) {
        jpbReadingProgress.setString(evt.getCurrentFileName());
    public void readingStopped(ReadingEvent evt) {
        Lookup.getDefault().lookup(MediaReader.class).removeListener(this);
        dispose();
    public void readingAborted(ReadingEvent evt) {
        readingStopped(evt);
    }This is an example on how the events are sent:
    private void fireReadingFile(ReadingEvent evt) {
        for (ReadingListener l : listeners) {
            l.readingFile(evt);
    }

Hi,
You have to check the Tolerance limits set for the following tolerance keys. In case if any where the limit is breached the systems blocks the Invoice as 'R - Invoice verification'. Please check the limits set for all these keys.
AP - item amount variance (if you have activated the item check)
DQ and DW - for Quantity variance
PP - price variance with the order price
ST - date variance
VP - Moving average price variance
