How to handle long Waits in BPEL?

Hi,
We are having a requirement to include a wait of 30 mins in BPEL process. But if this is done, the calling process will time out.
How do we handle such long waits? If we increase the transaction time out period to 30 min, will it be a performance issue?

Hi,
I need to call a external process that could take along time to be resolved. Basically this external process could require human procesess.
When I call the external process, this one decides if the BPELProces must wait for a future response or could continue without wait.
Some one has a BPEL example for this kind of process ?
This an example of my process (The search step is complex process to evaluate and I could not call twice to the external process (cost issues))
1. BPEL calls external process
2. external process searchs into the stock for the required product
2.1 if the required product exists then the external process wait for a human task to be resolved into its internal WorkFlow application. Then BPEL must wait for the future answer
2.2 if the required product does not exist then the external Process response to BPEL with No-Stock
Thanks In Advanced

SAP R/3 Transports : How to handle long pending transports ?

How to stop active transport process?
Hi.
Generally we transport only one TR at a time.
If we find that any transport is stuck for any reason.
How do we resolve this.
When we tried to delete the Long pending transport entry, it says, long text not found.
The problem is, we started one transport. It got stuck for more than 30 min.
and when we tried to delete the entry it was giving some error of long text not found.
We tried to start another. And it also got stuck.
How do we really handle such issues of transports.
Though, one could say, restart of server, is the only option because there is nothing much can be done when the transport is done, one at a time, as a practice.
Can sap not handle requests - one by one, even if the practice is to transport one TR at a time .
Why is the system getting confused and blocks further transport requests too.
Can anyone advise.
Thanks

How to handle long lines in a JAD file?

Hi all,
setting MIDlet permissions in a JAD file easily expands the length of one line so that they need to get wrapped into 2 or more lines. AFAIK JADs actually are manifest files and the manifest file spec says that a line continuation is marked by a line beginning with a single space. I use Ant to create the JAD file and Ant's manifest task does it exactly like this. Example:
MIDlet-Permissions: javax.microedition.io.Connector.bluetooth.client,j
avax.microedition.io.Connector.socketThis works on my Sony Ericsson phone and in the MicroEmu emulator, but the WTK (2.5.2) emulator complains about that by throwing an exception:
com.sun.midp.midletsuite.InvalidJadException: Reason = 28
     at com.sun.midp.midletsuite.JadProperties.partialLoad(+259)
     at com.sun.midp.midletsuite.JadProperties.load(+8)
     at com.sun.midp.dev.DevMIDletSuiteImpl.create(+252)
     at com.sun.midp.dev.DevMIDletSuiteImpl.create(+74)
     at com.sun.midp.main.Main.runLocalClass(+20)
     at com.sun.midp.main.Main.main(+80)So who is wrong here?
Thanks for some information!
Best regards,
Brian

MIDlet-Permissions: javax.microedition.io.Connector.bluetooth.client,j
avax.microedition.io.Connector.socketif memory serves, inability to handle stuff like above is a known WTK bug.
Try workarounds like "glueing" permissions into single (long) line or splitting them on commas

How to handle empty variable in BPEL Assign.

Hello ,
I am using SOA 11g R1
I have created one Human task with task Details. Also i am assigning the Usercomments/task/comments to onw of my variable, but if I dont provide the comments from worklist comments section, and approves the task, My Assign is giving error as it is empty. So i want to know is there any function in BPEL which can handle Empty string.
Thank you,
Sandeep

By using this type
bpws:getVariableData('Invoke_DB_WorkOrderNumber_DB_WorkOrderNumber_OutputVariable','OutputParameters','/ns10:OutputParameters/ns10:P_Name')
!=''
also i cant give counts because before comparing accessing variable itself gives empty <message fault > error.
I am still getting selection failure fault as my comments is empty (i..e I am not giving comments)
does bpws:getVariableData() itself try to access the given parameter and populates empty error.?
I tried
bpws:getVariableData('AssigneeApprovalProcess_1_globalVariable','payload','/task:task/task:userComment/task:comment') !=''
string-length(bpws:getVariableData('AssigneeApprovalProcess_1_globalVariable','payload','/task:task/task:userComment/task:comment') )>0
but same error still.

How to handle long running Processes in J2EE

Hi all,
we want to design something like a process engine on our application server. It should be possible to start processes asynchronous, so we think what we need is a message driven bean to start processes.
The problem is that there are different states while running the process and it should be possibe to request the current state at the running process. But how we get access to the process after its once started over the stateless message driven bean?
I hope you can understand the problem and maybe have a solution.
Thanks & regards
Rene G.

You are totally right, but i think my problem is not to design a good software application, my problem is to design this in j2ee. I have not so much j2ee experience in this way. Normally to solve this problem i would think about something like a container which contains one thread for each process. But i read that it is forbidden in j2ee to have your own thread management, so this seems to be a bad solution in j2ee, not at all.
I hope you understand me a little better now and i hope you don't think that i only want to utilize your knowledge to have less work by myself. I think this is a kind of j2ee specific question, which can be ask in a forum like this, isn't it?
Thanks & regards

How to tackle long processing threads ?

Hi All,
I have a requirement where it will take couple of minutes to complete a process. Well, I made that method to be "synchronized" so that none of the other threads can do anything(since all other activities are dependant on this thread, the others have to wait till this important threads completes it's process).
Now the problem is that other threads goes into problem and all of them are in MW(monitor wait) state and sometime kills/hangs the wls-instance. We are using wls6.1+sp2.
please suggest me with some example for how to tackle these kind of problems.

All we need to do is to handle this long runnig process through java. could you please suggest how to handle long processes, intelligently ?
Thanks for your time on this.

How to design multiple file polling BPEL process?

Hi all,
I am trying to solve/design the following in BPEL process:
- The integration process flow I am trying to design is an interaction b/n system A (FTP server), an Integration platform and system B.
- The integration platform will poll files from an internal FTP server. It has 2 Time files (“Time1” and “Time2”) alternatives to poll from the FTP server. It will then transform the message/information inside the files (time information) to an internal XML format. At the end it shall send the message to system B.
- The information inside the files is identical. The reason to have 2 files with identical information is for redundancy. The integration-platform shall only poll file “TIME1” as long as the conditions are met. If the conditions are not met, then it polls file “Time2”.
Normal succeeded scenario:
1- The integration platform polls the latest “Time1” file from the internal FTP server. The polling is done every 15th minute.
2- The integration platform logs to BAM and reports that the file is received.
3- The platform then converts the message to an internal format.
4- The platform sends the converted message/time information to system B.
5 - The use-case ends.
Not normal scenario:
1- The platform cannot get/receive file “Time1” file.
- The platform logs to BAM and reports that the file could not be received.
- The platform polls file “Time2” from the FTP server and it does the same normal scenario as above. The use case ends.
2 - Time message/information from the Time1 file has not full information (less than 24 rows). The file is supposed to have 24 rows (for 24 hours).
- The platform logs to BAM and reports that there is missing information on the message.
- The platform gets/polls instead the “Time2” file from the FTP server and it does the normal scenario.
- The use case ends.
3- The platform can find/get neither file “Time1” nor “Time2”.
- The platform alarms to BAM that it could not get/find the files.
** I am considering either the pick activity or the switch activity solution. Does any one of you have an idea how to design this in oracle BPEL process?
Thanks.

Not sure I understand your use case completly so if I'm off track I apploigise.
I think there are 3 ways to solve this. The 3rd may be closest to what you are looking for.
1. Have 2 processes that read into a common area, e.g. database where you can compare. From there you can choose which file to pick. This is high leve but I think this would be dificult to implement.
2. Implement a combination of a rejectedMessage handler and error processing witn the BPEL process itself. The rejecte message handler can call another BPEL process if the time1 file is in a invalid state. This process will then read the time2 file. The issue with this is that the rejecte message handler will only get invoked when the file doesn't conform to the schema.
3. Use the quarts scheduler whcih invokes a BPEL process every 15 miniutes. Using the file adapter to perform a synchronous read to read time1, analyse it, if it fails read time2 using synchronous read. Then perform the approprate action id this fails.
hope this give some ideas.
cheers

Parallel Processing : How to Handle Resource failure?

Hi,
I have implemented the parallel processing/ asynchronous rfc call in my system because we have to process millions of records and processing is important. My Program does work fine in Development and quality for small number of records but during SVT I am encountering RESOURCE_FAILURE exception. As of now I have tried to wait for more time and then process it again and also on failure I have tried to process sequential but nothing worked with second approach that is on resource_failure execute normal FM call it is resulting in terminating Parallel processing.
Any Pointer on how to handle it is appreciated.
Regards,
Deepak Bhalla

<b>Handling the RESOURCE_FAILURE exception:</b> As each parallel processing task is dispatched, the SAP system counts down the number of resources (dialog work processes) available for processing additional tasks. This count goes up again as each parallel processing task is completed and returns to your program.
Should your parallel processing tasks take a long time to complete, then the parallel processing resources may temporarily run out. In this case, CALL FUNCTION returns the exception RESOURCE_FAILURE. This means simply that all dialog work processes in the RFC group that your program is using are in use.
Your program must now wait until resources become available and then re-issue the CALL FUNCTION that failed. In the sample program, we use a simple, reasonably failsafe wait mechanism. The program waits for parallel processing tasks to return, freeing up resources. The WAIT also specifies a initial timeout of 1 second. If the CALL FUNCTION again fails, the WAIT is repeated with a longer time-out. You can increase the time-outs if you expect that your parallel tasks will take longer to complete. You should also add code to exit from the retry loop after a suitable number of iterations.
Use WAIT statement.
Hope this resolves u r issue.

Skype is useless for this.
They will claim that you the user are responsible, and that they don't need to do anyhing.
So....
Do not allow Skype to autorefill your account when it runs low on balance, and do not store a creditcard, or other payment info with them.
Each user is liable for whatever the hackers can steal.
As this is from recent personal experience, I recommend you to never keep payment information on file with Skype.

Drive Utility Help Viewer "does not know how to handle selected URL"

I have Drive Utility 10.5.6, according to . I'm trying to reformat a FAT32 partition on an external drive to Mac OS X Ext. Journaled in preparation for using SuperDuper to back up my Mac HD boot partition. For a time, which seems to have passed, now that erasing the partition has been done. The Disk Utility Help wouldn't work. Instead of putting up topic information, I got a message saying "Help Viewer does not know how to handle selected URL", followed by an reference to an html file that allegedly existed inside a set of folders inside the app. Where, of course, Finder cannot see. Once the erasing was done, Help seems to have come back. I tried Apple Support, but could only get a reference to OS 9 Appleworks macros not working in OS X. No help at all. Is this a question? I don't know. Help is working now. But for a while it was very annoying. It must be one of those little windows glitches that no one ever bothered to fix.

In order to change a FAT or NTFS formatted drive for use with OS X you will need to do the following:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
If you have an Intel Mac and can partition the drive using GUID then you can have FAT32 and OS X partitions on the same drive.
As for problems with the Help viewer see:
In most cases doing the following will restore the Help Viewer:
1. Trash the following three files, if extant:
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.help.plist
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpui.plist
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpviewer.plist
2. Trash the /Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.helpui folder.
3. Empty the Trash and Restart.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on the Help Viewer for additional suggestions.

How to handle multiple datasources in a web application?

I have a J2EE Web application with Servlets and Java ServerPages. Beside this I have a in-house developed API for certain services built using Hibernate and Spring with POJO's and some EJB.
There are 8 databases which will be used by the web application. I have heard that multiple datasources with Spring is hard to design around. Considering that I have no choice not to use Spring or Hibernate as the API's are using it.
Anyone have a good design spesification for how to handle multiple datasources. The datasource(database) will be chosen by the user in the web application.

Let me get this straight. You have a web application that uses spring framework and hibernate to access the database. You want the user to be able to select the database that he wants to access using spring and hibernate.
Hopefully you are using the Spring Framework Hibernate DAO. I know you can have more that one spring application context. You can then trying to load a seperate spring application context for each database. Each application context would have it's own configuration files with the connection parameters for each datasource. You could still use JNDi entries in the web.xml for each datasource.
Then you would need a service locater so that when a user selected a datasource he would get the application context for that datasource which he would use for the rest of his session.
I think it is doable. It means a long load time. And you'll need to keep the application contexts as small as possible to conserve resources.

How to handle parked message in BPM?

Hi,
I have a scenario that buyer as R3 send PO(same PO number) change idoc multiple times into bpm without receiving PO change confirmation(from seller, non R3) yet, I have a loop in bpm to handle this case, the loop checks the condition whether confirmation matches change request, if not, potential loop repeats. However, if I have multiple change request(same PO number) sent from R3 to BPM, my BPM waiting for my order confirmation, then if the first order confirmation comes into BPM matches with the first change request, then I exit the loop, but I still have several change requests parked at processXXXXX yet to be processed, does anybody came into similar situations? Any good suggestions or examples?
Thanks,
Maggie

Hi there,
I need to correlate ChangeConfirmation to ChangeRequest with PO number, this is for the purpose of ChangeRequest waiting for Confirmation for the same PO number. However, I don't know how to handle multiple changes come into BPM without confirmation yet, my current design is that I immediately enter a loop in BPM, with condition confirmation Info doese not match change info, thus the change request is bundled with bpm process, once the porcess is finished(response match change request), the queue of my other change requests(the parked ones) now got deleted, does anybody have any good suggestions in handling multiple change request(for same PO number) in bpm? Is there a way I can force bpm to handle one request one response, throw some error message if multiple changes comes together without response yet? Anybody had encountered similar issues?
Thanks,
Magge

How to handle the errors in transformations

Hi
I am using SOA, JDev 10.1.3.3.
How to handle the exceptions in transformations.
If any thing goes wrong in transformation then how to handle that situation.
I am not getting any kind of instances like errored out..
Please help me out
Regards
Pavankumar

I think your issue is that your process is going into manual recovery.
In the console click on the tab BPEL processes. There is a link on the left for manual recovery. Do you see your processes there?
What happens if you put your transformation into a scope. The in that scope you have a catch All. In this catch All routine just do a terminate. This will error your process but you should see it appear in the console.
