How to invoke an other BPM asynchronous process from the BPM process

Do anyone know how to invoke other asynchronous process from the BPM process without using the Web Service URL?

Try using a Service task implemented as a Process Call. Then you select the process you want to call, set the associations or transformation and deploy it to test.
I hope it works for you.

How to invoke a web service asynchronously using ws-addressing model?

Hi Gurus,
We are invoking an external web service asynchronously using Oracle Work Flow Business events using the following mechanism -
1)Created a web service invoker event to invoke the web service.
2)Created a subscription that invokes the web service (provided the wsdl address, operation info).
3)Defined a subscription parameter WFBES_CALLBACK_EVENT with value pointing to a recieve event.
4)Created a receive event(parameter value for WFBES_CALLBACK_EVENT) and a subscription that directs the response to a custom PL/SQL function to process response.
so far so good. We were able to invoke the web service and get and process the response.
Problem: The external web service can take upto 10 hrs to process the request. A time out of 2 hrs is set on the server hosting the external web service. So when the external web service takes more than 2 hrs to process the request and it times out and we get the following error on EBS side -
'l_error_message:oracle.apps.fnd.wf.bes.InvokerException: HTTP transport error: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: java.security.PrivilegedActionException: oracle.j2ee.ws.saaj.ContentTypeException: Not a valid SOAP Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1'
Now the external web service providers are suggesting that we are not calling their web service asynchronously and we should use ws-addressing model to do so.
Is there a way to invoke this web service using ws-addressing model using business events or from PL/SQL or OA middle-tier?

Sunil

Bharat,
You dont need a Business Event setup to invoke a BPEL process from PL/SQL unless you have a special case and you need to process the response from the BPEL process in a separate thread (or in background)..
For a straight call to BPEL process from PL/SQL, here is a sample script -
function "MYTEST0" return varchar2 AS
soap_request varchar2(30000);
soap_respond varchar2(30000);
http_req utl_http.req;
http_resp utl_http.resp;
resp XMLType;
i integer;
helpStr varchar2(30000);
BEGIN
soap_request:= '<?xml version = ''1.0'' encoding = ''UTF-8''?>
<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:ns0="
http://xmlns.oracle.com/TestWS">
<env:Body>
<ns0:TestWSProcessRequest>
<ns0:input>abc</ns0:input>
</ns0:TestWSProcessRequest>
</env:Body>
</env:Envelope>
/* the BPEL process name is TestWS */
http_req:= utl_http.begin_request
( 'http://hostname:7777/orabpel/default/TestWS/1.0'
, 'POST'
, 'HTTP/1.1'
utl_http.set_header(http_req, 'Content-Type', 'text/xml');
utl_http.set_header(http_req, 'Content-Length', length(soap_request));
utl_http.set_header(http_req, 'SOAPAction', 'process');
utl_http.write_text(http_req, soap_request);
http_resp:= utl_http.get_response(http_req);
utl_http.read_text(http_resp, soap_respond);
utl_http.end_response(http_resp);
resp:= XMLType.createXML(soap_respond);
resp:= resp.extract('/soap:Envelope/soap:Body/child::node()',

helpStr := '';
i:=0;
loop
helpStr := helpStr || substr(soap_respond,1+ i*255,250);

exit;
end if;
end loop;
return helpStr;

Calling BPM Sub Process from another BPM Process - Stuck at Sub Process

Hi
JDeveloper 11.1.1.6, BPM 11.1.1.6, WLS 10.3.6
I am trying to Call a BPM Process from another BPM Process. Both the processes are defined in the same BPM Project.
Both the Processes have 'None' Start and End activities.
The 'Parent Process' has a 'Call Activity' which calls the 'Sub Process'.
The Sub process takes a parameter of payload object as input and returns output (also same payload object)
I have passed the payload object from parent to sub process in the 'Data Associations'.
The Start and End activities in the sub process also have the data associations set where I am passing the payload object from parent process to child process.
When I run the process and see the Enterprise Manager console - Audit Trail / Flow tabs,
Flow Tab - The progress of the process is showing only till the Calling of the sub process in the Parent Process. It does not show the Sub Process.
Audit Trail Tab - Shows that the Sub Process is called but has not reached to the End of the Sub process.
The audit trail does not have links to the sub process activities.
I cannot see any exceptions as well in the audit trail.
How can I find out why the process is stuck? Or what is going on in the process?
Please let me know if my explanation is not clear?
Thanks for any help
Regards
Sameer

Thanks for replying.
I have another Sub Process with Start and End events as Message Events and used Send Task and Receive Task (Implementation : Process Call) in the Main process to invoke the sub process asynchronously.
Then, the Sub Process is shown in the 'Flow Trace' as child of the main process.
In this particular one, I used 'Call Activity' to call the sub process.
So the Audit trail is showing the sub process as a child.
But what I was trying to say is that the audit trail did not have links to the entries in the 'Event' column (in Enterprice manager - instance window). (like Instance entered activity, Instance left activity etc).
I was intending to use these links to see the payload information and try to debug if there is any problem with the code.
The actual problem I was trying to say in the post is that, even after the user responds to the activity (User Task - Approval) in the Sub process,
the audit trail is not proceeding further.
In the Sub process definition, after the user task, there is End with none implementation.
Hope it is clear now.
Thanks and Regards
Sameer

Error while invoking ESB process from a BPEL process

Hi all
We have a requirement to call an ESB process from a BPEL process. We are using an adapter wth the ESB's WSDL url. After deploying the BPEL process, the registered ESB is getting called for most values while suddenly some values return the followign error
*"exception on JaxRpc invoke: HTTP transport error: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: java.security.PrivilegedActionException: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: Message send failed: Connection reset"*
The catch here is, if we re-run the process with the same values again, the ESB is called successfully! How is it possible for a process to error out and run normally for the same inputs ?
What could be the possible fix for this? I am thankful for any inputs on this.
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
This is a bug and you can refer the metalink note:
"Applying Patch 7445876 Results in Error "java.lang.NullPointerException". [ID 942575.1]" for reference.
Also you can refer the following link:
"http://puchaanirudh.blogspot.com/2008/12/exception-on-jaxrpc-invoke-http.html" also.
Thanks,

Invoking bpel process from another bpel process in same app server

Hi,
When I invoke a bpel process from another bpel process in the same oracle AS
1. Is it a SOAP call or is there any optimization?
2. If there is some optimization where can I configure this?
3. Is there any similar optimizations if I invoke a bpel process from a
java application deployed in the same server? If so can you please provide
a sample?
Thanks for your help
Raj

By default the BPEL 10.1.2, it will do a local call to the process. It will not execute a SOAP request, no network access is done.
It can be configured at domain level:
Parameter: optSoapShortcut (SOAP local optimization)
Turns on "short-cut" for local SOAP request; local SOAP calls are normally done via an internal call instead of sending a message through the SOAP stack.
The default behavior for the engine is to optimize all. To disable optimization specify a value other than "true" or "yes".

Invoking Session EJB (with WSIF binding) from a BPEL process

Hi,
I am invoking a stateless session bean from a bpel process. The bpel process is throwing:
Failed to lookup EJB home using JNDI name 'ejb/visilient/BPELHelper'; nested exception is:
java.lang.NullPointerException
I can see the ejb jndi name under 'default' app.
Any ideas?
TIA

It is a lovely sample... However, it doesn't cover Complex Types and Exception handling. It would be nice if each example was thorough. Would be a great help.
What I was hoping to achieve is this:
1) Have an EJB deployed
2) Use WSIF for BPEL Processes.
3) Use Web Service interface for AJAX calls etc.
I was hoping that this would be the exact code base and that only a single EJB would be deployed.
So far, it looks like JDeveloper will only support Java WSIF bindings. No EJB Bindings. It also looks like JAXRPC is the best supported WS interface. With that in mind, it deploys a seperate subset of the EJB. Thus causing two seperate deployments. I am working on trying all this out over the next couple days. See where I get.
Anyways, do you have any recommendation for accomplishing what I am wanting to do? 1 deployed EJB, with a WS interface and allowing WSIF bindings. Any other references for me to look at? Should I not be thinking about using JDeveloper for any of the WSDL generation and do all this manually for now?
Thanks,

How to create Rules with Flex Field mapping in the bpm worklist

I Have created a flex field label and was able to map to the flex field attributes .
But when i try to create a rules , I don't see the label or the flex attributes in the task payload .
Can someone please help is understanding how to create Rules with Flex Field mapping in the bpm worklist .
Even I am also searching for any scripts which will take the flex fields prompts and can directly create a label in the bpm worklist .
Any pointers or suggestion is highly appreciated .

Hi,
SE38 -> Enter program
Select Variants button and display. In the next screen, enter a variant name, (If not existing , press Create to create new one), else click on Change.
Now the selection screen will display with a button "Variant Attributes" at the top.
Click on that button.
In the next screen, go to the selection variable column of the date field. Press F4 or drop down and select 'D' for date maintenance.
In the column "Name of Variable (Input Only Using F4)" press F4 or drop down, select whichever kind of date calculation you want and save the variant.
Now whenever you run the prgrm with this variant, date will be displayed by default.

I am copying and pasting into a new, Pages document (from the word processing menu), and I paste in text that is longer than one page, it doesn't continue onto the next page. I can't see the end. How do I get it to show everything I paste in?

I want to copy an extensive amount of text from a web page into a Pages word processing document, but it seems to chop it up into text boxes, some of which aren't long enough to show all of the lines of text. I can't get hold of a bottom edge of the boxes to drag them to make them longer. I tried several times starting over with a new, blank page (and I made sure to choose from the Word Processing part of the dropdown menu, since I read about a similar problem that said not to use the layout menu. It keeps doing the same thing. What do I have to do to get long text pasted to multiple pages, instead of it trying to be all on one page?
In the long run, what I want is to create this as an ePub book. Is there a better way to go about this?

Hi Ellen,
Copying from web pages can include some weird formatting. Instead of Paste, use Paste and Match Style (Edit Menu).

Ian.

How to save SOME time machine Mac backups from the TM disk to other disk WITHOUT formatting the destination disk?

Hi,
How to save SOME time machine Mac backups from the TM disk to other disk WITHOUT formatting the destination disk?
I have a Time Machine disk (A) including the backups of several different Macs (B, C, D & E) generated with an old Mac OS X 10.5.8 (iMac PowerPC) over the years.
I have transferred the old Mac contents to a new Mac with OS X 10.8.3 using Migration Assitant. All OK.
Now, I want to erase such TM disk A to use if for other purposes, but first, I would like to RECOVER the backups of some Macs inside it (D and E). Is that possible WITHOUT formatting the destination disk and selecting only some Macs from the TM disk and not the fulll TM disk? How?
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I do not think that is messy, anway. I simply used the same external disk as Time Machine disk for different Macs. And that worked OK all the time for years.
The ExternalTimeMachineDisk contains the folder Backups.backupdb
which contains the following folders (each one corresponding to the Time Machine backup made from each Mac):
Mac1
Mac2
MacBook1
MacBook2
In relation to my message above, is it possible to select specific files, folders or full Mac backups from such Time Machine disk and save them to other disk? How?
Thanks.

Completely KILL the process from the OS - problem.

Does anyone know how to completely kill/eliminate/dispose/ the main process from the OS.
Here is the prob: my application runs smoothly. when I close it - it's being eliminated from the OS, however I found out that when I open a new window [from the main application] and updating something and then closing this particular window (with setvisable(false) / dispose() ) and QUITING the main application - the process still runs in the background.
Is there a way to make sure that regardless of the open frames/dialog the process [main application] will completely 'die'?
Thanks
