How to run a BPEL process once every morning?

Hi All!
I am working on a BPEL process which will send email greetings to one/group depending on the day it is, like birthday/national festivals etc. I want this process to run by itself every morning once,and do the work.
But I don't know how to make the process run once every morning? Please let me know how to schedule a BPEL process to run every 24 hours.
Thanking in advance.
Regards,
Deepika.

How to run a BPEL process in jdeveloper tool instead of BPEL process manage

is there a way to run the bPEL process in jdeveloper itself ?

Not really, Oracle introduced test seuite in 10.1.3.3 which allows you to test without calling the endpoints. Probably not really what you are after but may be helpful down the track.

How to find out BPEL process server is up and running?

Hi All,
We are invoking a synchronous BPEL process from our application.
Incase of any network failures, we want to switch to other flow.
Is there any way to find out the BPEL process server is up and running?
Thanks,
Uma.

Try accessing the dynamic wsdl (http://server.com:7777/orabpel/default/service/1.0/service?wsdl)
from your application. If there's no error opening this page using http get, the server is alive :)

How can I invoke BPEL process to run ?

Hi,
after deploying the bpel process, which way I can invoke it without BPEl console ?
Can I invoke it from inside of my stored procedure
or creating (and invoking then) concurrent-process in OEBS ?

Clemen,
Thanks for the response.
Assuming that I created right xml(+ namespaces) in the stored procedure, put it into varchar2 parameter, and invoked BPEL WS. My question is how I can parse it?
Advise please. I'm a rookie on the XML.
I also tried to pass delimited string from plsql and then parse it using orcl:create-nodeset-from-delimited-string. Unfortunately I didn't figure out what I have to put as a QName parameter of that function. The documentation is insufficient. There is no any sample with that function. Another guy is also was struggling with it: create-nodeset-from-delimited-string
Maybe you can clarify it?
Thank you in advance.

How to debug a bpel process

I'm a new user in the jdeveloper community :)
i want to debug a bpel process ,for example the "AmazonFlow" sample project.
but it asking for a "default run target" path, what kind of a file it expect? i guess it's a kind of a file that consume input for the bpel process? is it always expect a default run target?
thanks

user573208;
It is not possible to use the normal Debug menus in JDeveloper, you have to do what Mark says, deploy the process to a BPEL (or SOA Suite) server, and do a test run of the process. You will find plenty of documentation on how to set up the server, and initiate a process.
When the server is up and running, the process is deployed, and a test instance has been started, debugging is actually very easy. In a development environment, you will use the server's BPEL Console to debug the process, instead of sensors (much easier). The default logging options give you full access to your data at any point of the process, it's out of the box and easily understood.
Generally, the visual Flow view gives you the best overview, and you have full access to the content of variables, the request and response data of web service calls, fault details, etc. (at any point in the process) by clicking the different elements (icons) of the process flow.
The other tabs (Audit, Debug) work the same way, but in a less visual manner.

How to Invoke a BPEL process when Insert/Update/Delete happens

Hi
As client requirement is we want to execute a BPEL process when there is a DML Operation (Insert/Update/Delete) on a particular table.
How do we handle this situation. Is there any alternatives if it is not possible.
Please point me if any documentaion is available.
Regards
Kiran

Hi Kiran,
What integration tool you are using.
In Oracle BPEL PM, you can create an empty BPEL process with a "receive" activity and a database adapter partnerlink which polls for change in table records every specified time interval.
After receiving the table change, you can fire the appropriate BPEL process through "invoke" activity.
thanks

Question: How to call a BPEL process from a PL/SQL procedure

Hi All,
Greetings to all BPEL people. I have a question on how can we call a BPEL process from a PLSQL procedure. It might be a stupid question but i wanted to know whether this fetaure is available in BPEL as our scenario requires us to explore if this functionality is available in BPEL.
Please let me know and also if possible please send me the links for the tutorials if it is available.
Thanks In Advance,
Dibya

Yes u can do it. there are two ways.
1) First one is using utl_http package of PL/SQL
In this case u can create SOAP request message & send it as Http request to your deployed BPEL process.
This package provides some methods like
set_header,write_text,get_response,read_text etc..
Following is part of code which may be helpful to you.
create or replace package body test_book_order_sub_pkg
is
FUNCTION test_book_order_sub(p_subscription_guid IN RAW,
p_event IN OUT WF_EVENT_T
                                        Return VARCHAR2 IS
soap_request varchar2(30000);
soap_respond varchar2(30000);
http_req utl_http.req;
http_resp utl_http.resp;
launch_url varchar2(240) ;
     begin
     DBMS_OUTPUT.Put_Line('Subscription : Order has been booked');
     soap_request:='<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
     <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Header/>
<soap:Body xmlns:ns1="http://xmlns.oracle.com/BES_BookOrder">
<ns1:BES_BookOrderProcessRequest>
<ns1:input>725</ns1:input>
</ns1:BES_BookOrderProcessRequest>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>';
http_req:= utl_http.begin_request
('http://172.28.5.191:8888/orabpel/default/BES_BookOrder/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', 'initiate');
     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) ;
DBMS_OUTPUT.Put_Line(soap_respond);
return('SUCCESS');
end test_book_order_sub;
end test_book_order_sub_pkg;
2) Second way is make your BPEL process listening to some database Queue(use AQ Adapter). & then put some message in tht queue from ur Pl/SQL code . This will also initiate BPEL instance. Check out AQAdapter tutorials.

How to call a BPEL process from Oracle Apps Java Concurrent program

Hello,
I need to trigger a BPEL process from Oracle Apps. Can anybody tell me how to do that? I have two triggering option--
1. On button click from a Form 6i screen
2. Using Java Concurrent program.
Thanks in advance.
Debkanta

I am not sure how concurrent program works, but may be one of the way might work out, let me know if Java Concurrent Program works a bit different way
- [if async] Through concurrent program, you can insert message token to db or aq, and BPEL can be instantiated from there
or
- If it supports pure java call, then you can look at multiple documents (e.g. http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/bpel/pdf/orabpel-Tutorial7-InvokingBPELProcesses.pdf) to invoke your process
- You can also use oracle db utility to invoke soap operation and get the result back

Looks like you don't have WebLogic classes on the classpath:
javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Cannot instantiate class: weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory [Root exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory]
Other options for creating an instance are to use a web service call or one of the other adapters (e.g. JMS). If you need to directly start a process you might also look at this blog from the ATeam:
http://redstack.wordpress.com/worklist/
The specific example for getting the tasks is at: http://redstack.wordpress.com/2011/03/09/implementing-task-initiation/
Then the real work of creating an instance from the initiator tasks is at: http://redstack.wordpress.com/2011/03/09/creating-the-domain-layer-for-the-worklist/

DOS 11g SOA have the Locator API's - How to Invoke a BPEL process from Java

In BPEL 10.1.3.1, a java client could use the "Locator" API's to look up a BPEL service and invoke it directly from Java,
Is that still present in SOA 11g ? Or is there another way to look up the BPEL process ...
Here's an example of the 10g BPEL Service locator facilities :
Get the BPEL service locator. This is retrieved as follows:
loc = new Locator(domain, domainPassword);
The initial installation BPEL domain is "domain" and the initial password is "bpel". We then use the locator to get the delivery service. We could also use the locator to retrieve the workflow service.
IDeliveryService svc = (IDeliveryService)loc.lookupService(IDeliveryService.SERVICE_NAME);
Now we have the delivery service we can "deliver" requests to the BPEL process. To do this we first need to create a new message.
NormalizedMessage msg = new NormalizedMessage();
String content = "<SyncHelloWorldProcessRequest xmlns=\"http://antony.blog/SyncHelloWorld\">"+
"<input>"+
name+
"</input>"+
"</SyncHelloWorldProcessRequest>";
msg.addPart(msgPart, content);

Eric, when I select the BPEL wsdl file in "Create Web Service Data Control" wizard, immediately I am getting the error. When I click 'OK', the 'Service' dropdown is disabled and blank in the wizard.
Thanks for pointing to the sample application URL. But it is built in jdev 10g. Can I migrate it to 11g?
Thanks both of you!
