How to create automatic timer process in BPM?

Can anyone tell me how to create an automatic timer process in BPM?
Can I just create an manual process, and drag the timer event into the swam lane, can connect the timer to the service and then to the end event?
Thank you

Hi,
You can make use of Global Automatic activity to kick off your process at a particular time. Place a Global Automatic activity in your process and right click on the Global Automatic activity and select Properties --> General --> Global Automatic Type: Automatic Schedule, Automatic Schedule: <Configure with your requirement>.
Else you can make use of due transition/timer activity to get your task done.

[CS3 JS] How to Create a Timer?

Within InDesign I need to be able to fire a periodic process to examine links from a JavaScript script. I have my own script running in its own engine.
I can't figure out how to create a timer that will run in the background and call the appropriate callback function periodically.
I've created a little process like this:
* Sleeps for waitTime milliseconds then calls the callBack function.
function timer(callBack, waitTime) {
$.writeln("timer(): callBack=" + callBack + ", waitTime=" + waitTime);
if (waitTime == undefined) waitTime = 2000;
$.writeln("timer(): sleeping for " + waitTime + "...");
$.sleep(waitTime);
$.writeln("timer(): awake, calling callBack");
try {
return callBack();
} catch (e) {
$.writeln("timer(): Exception from callBack.exec(): " + e);
return undefined;
function myCallBack() {
return Window.confirm("Callback called", true, "Continue looping");
while (true) {
if (!timer(myCallBack)) break;
And this works in the sense that my timer runs, but it runs as a blocking process, which is not what I want.
Is there something I'm missing or is this simply not possible in CS3 JavaScript? A search on "timer" in the InDesign forums didn't reveal anything, nor did the InDesign JavaScript Guide nor the Scripting Tools Guide.
Thanks,
Eliot

1. Download and install Active Page Item Developer Toolkit.
http://www.rorohiko.com/wordpress/indesign-downloads/active-page-item-developer/
You'll have a demo period for 20 days or a month, I don't remember exactly.
2. Create a new document, open 'Active Page Item Developer' panel (Windows menu).
3. Copy the script from my previous post, draw an object - e.g. a rectangle and with the object selected enter 'idle' into Event Filter field, then press Tab and paste the script into the largest field.
You'll see an alert appearing every 10 seconds and the cursor flickering.

How to create automatic creation of BP from customer and vendor master data

Hi gurus,
can any one tell how to create automatic creation of BP from customer and vendor master data.
Please give me the steps.
Thanks
Sasikanth.

HI,
Goto SPRO\ Cross application components \ Master data synchronization \ Synchronization control.
Assign account groups of customer and vendors to respective BP grouping. This setting is enough to create BP in background while creating customer / vendor. But the fields groups are very much important, ensure mandatory fields should be sync.

How to create a Time Dimension

Hi
This is regarding a new topic which i could not find the answer in this forum.
Actually i want to create a time dimension to populate my source data which is in date/time format.
can anyone please reply back reagrding how to create a time dimension in ODI???
regards
Gourisankar

Hi Gourisankar,
I am not aware of time dimension. But when i searched in metalink i got the below note. I am not sure whether it will help you or not but still a small contribution. :)
The note as follows,
To create new time dimensions, run the following SQL instructions :
* Example to generate a calendar between 1999-01-01 and 2007-12-31 one row per day
SELECT to_date('1999-01-01','YYYY-MM-DD')+rownum
FROM DUAL
CONNECT BY
ROWNUM<=to_date('2007-12-31','YYYY-MM-DD')-to_date('1999-01-01','YYYY- MM-DD');
* Example for generating a calendar random number
SELECT DBMS_RANDOM.VALUE
FROM DUAL
CONNECT BY ROWNUM<=1000000;
May be you can create a VIEW out of this query ,reverse it and use that as a source in your interface.
Try this and let me know.
Thanks,
G

How to create event based process chains

Hi All,
I would like to know about event based process chains. In connection to this, could you please answer the following queries,
1. How to create events
2. How to link created event to the process chain in the same BI or BW system and as well as from
    externel BI system.
3. How link one process chain with other process chain (i.e, After completion of one process chain, it
    should trigger other dependent process chain)
Thanks and Regards,
Kotesh.

1). Doubt regarding first question.
For example, i would like to create time based event (it should be trigger daily at specified time),
where we have to maintain scheduling options while creating event.
When i checked SM62 there i found only two options a). Event name and b). Description.
Could please send any doucument link if you have.
Ans : You can use function modules like "BP_EVENT_RAISE" in a program and schedule the program to trigger.
2). For externel BIW system also same procedure we need to follow or any difference.
Ans : Externally you need to trigger the same event.
3). i found dependent process chain also had scheduling options as direct scheduling insted of start using meta chain or API. As you said dependent process chain should be mata chain. it seems dependent process chain may be Meta chain or Direct scheduilg.
Ans : Its your choice how you want to schedule it.You can either make that dependent chain a metachain or schedule it separately.
I found at the end of first process chain they kept one process like Raise event and second process chain connected with the help of raise event process event name. If you have any idea about this process could explain a bit more.
Ans : May be they are raising the event in the main chain and triggering the dependent chain using this event.
But Metachain is preferred for such thing.Though it does similar thing.
Hope this helps.

How to kill an instance process in BPM studio 6.0

Hi i'm Fabio.
I'm working on BPM Studio 6.0 and i need to complete a task.
I have an instance id process, and i need to create a new process in order to kill this istance id.
I read how to create a PAPI client (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13154_01/bpm/docs65/papi/index.html?t=modules/papi/c_Writing_Your_First_Java_PAPI_Program.html) but it doesn't work for my purpose.
First of all, i understood that i have to follow these step:
* Import the required libraries.
* Create a process service.
* Create a process service session.
* Perform operations with PAPI.
* Close the process service.
Now, i'm working on my xpdl file and i'm using the Standard Module "Fuego" and my plan is to create a process servcie, a process service session and then operate with PAPI.
But using the PAPI module include in the BPM studio 6.0 i'm no able to load the library for the session import fuego.papi.ProcessServiceSession;
so i'm worng something. Could you tell me how can menage this problem? Really do i need a session? Is possible to abort an istance process in BPM studio or i need to load my ear project in Enterprise environment and then kill my instance process? Thanks, regards Fabio.

Thanks Dan, i read your suggestion but my boss was to implement a different solution:
package hp.abort.process;

configuration.setProperty(ProcessService.PROJECT_PATH, "C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/AlbpmWorkspace/EarOMatic");
configuration.setProperty(ProcessService.WORKING_FOLDER, "C:/tmp");
try {
ProcessService processService = ProcessService.create(configuration);
/////////////////// Establish a session ///////////////////
ProcessServiceSession session = processService.createSession("adminEarOMatic", "adminEarOMatic", "localhost");
/////////////////// Operate with PAPI ///////////////////
for (String processId : session.processesGetIds()) {
System.out.println("\n Process: " + processId);
for (InstanceInfo instance : session.processGetInstances(processId) ) {
System.out.println(" -> " + instance.getId());
System.out.println("ActivityName -> " + instance.getActivityName());
System.out.println("ActivityId -> "+ instance.getActivityId());
//Problema: nn vuole ActivityId ma Process Id
session.activityAbort("/CreateEurekaSRService#Default-1.0/eomWait","/CreateEurekaSRService#Default-1.0/1/0@EarOMatic");
/////////////////// Close the session ///////////////////
session.close();
/////////////////// Release API Resources ///////////////////

} catch (CommunicationException e) {

How to create a scheduled process

Hi all,
I'd like to create a (WLI) process that would run once
a day at 12:00 noon. Outside of WLI, I could easily use
SpringFramework/Quartz to create a scheduled task that's
equivalent to such a WLI process. But with WLI (8.1),
I've had a very hard time to create such a process.
I'd much appreciate if anyone could give a high level
steps how to do it. Thank you kindly in advance.

Nam,
You can create a scheduled process in WLI.Here are the steps:
Create a channel file and uncomment the timerEvent section in weblogic workshop
Create a timer event generator with details like time of triggering,frequency,channel file etc in Weblogic Integration Admin Console(http://<serverName>:<ServerPort>/wliconsole.
Create a process file in workshop and select the option which subscribes to event generators.
Hope this helps you.

How to create a time counter

Hello expertsl,
I have a new challenge on board.
I have a form that is automatically popped up. Now on the form, i need to insert a timer that as soon as it pops out, the timer starts and then i have to enter some data in the form and as soon as i press the save button, the timer records the time count and then stores it in a table.
Any suggestion are the most welcome...
Thank you

As Hoek said, this is not a Forms forum.
However, the problem is not really unique to Forms and a timer itself is not needed.
A timer is a kernel object that fires at specific intervals and each time around executes a callback routine. This allows one to update or process at specific intervals.
You do not need a timer as you are interested in time elapsed - which means that on the creation of the form you need to get the current time. When the save button is clicked you again get the current time. The data that you are interested in is the time difference between these two.
Remember that timers are expensive objects to create ito kernel resources. Some operating systems limit the total number of timers that can be created. In general, it is not a good idea to create a timer unless it is the best technical solution for the problem. And you do not need a timer determine a time elapse. You simply need code in the constructor of the form and code in the save events of the form. Nothing more.

How to create automatically users&roles in CUA and in chlid systems?

Hi,
i have a CUA on a 2 chlid R/3 systems (test and training) and 2 portal systems (test and training).
i need to create a web application to create automatically users test and users training in CUA and see them in the R/3 chlid systems and at the same time to create autmatically a roles in CUA and R/3 chlid systems for those users (we sppose that the role is already stored in a table).
are there any standard BAPI or Funcion modules that can do this job?
is the role created automatically in CUA can be seen automaticall in the portal child system?
any help?
Thanks&Best regards

You can use one of the various ways Java EE provides you, e.g. container managed authentication.
It's also all in the Java EE tutorial: [http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/tutorial/doc/bncas.html].
You can configure it in the application server as well: [http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/realm-howto.html].
Here is an example how to use it in JSF: [http://ocpsoft.com/java/acegi-spring-security-jsf-login-page/].

How to create automatically pdf with automator

Hello,
Probably my problem has been posted many times on this forum. So, any help is more than welcome.
I would like to create a workflow that creates automatically a pdf version of any file when dropped for example in a defined folder.
Is it possible? Does someone have already a similar workflow working?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Tom

Sure, but you would do that if you have to convert one or two files.
I am looking for a workflow which converts automatically into pdfs hundreds of word documents for example.

How to start a new process in BPM

There are many ways to start a new process in BPM.However I was wondering whether there is any specific way to kick off an instance in the process with the help of PAPI from external systems.I would be thankful if someone could advise.

Check the PAPI Javadoc & Samples in the [enterprise_install_dir]/client/papi/ directory.
Basically, you must:
a) create a Process Service object
service = ProcessService.create(properties);
b) create a PAPI session with a participant
session = service.createSession(user, pass, "localhost");
c) create an instance:
instance = session.createProcessInstance("/Orders", "BeginIn", arguments);
d) destroy the session
session.close();
Hope this helps!
