How to run procedure in Process flow

Hello,
I have a small procedure which I want to run in between two different mappings. I want to achieve it in process flow.
I had understanding that this can be done using transformation but didn't had much success.
Please suggest.
Thanks

You are correct that this is done with a transformation in the process flow, and this is the way to do it.
What kind of error message did you get?
Was it something with the deployed location for the transformation not being set?
If thats the case, in the design center, mark the process flow and right click, then choose configure. Find the transformation and set the location for where the procedure is deployed.

How to monitor the wrapper process flows

Hi,
I have a process flow(main wrapper) which contains the 2 child process flows(child_PF1, child_PF2). which looks like below.
start -> Child_PF1 -> Child_PF2 -> end
I am able to run the the process flows successfully. I want to monitor the process flows and the % of completion of the process flow.
I am able to check the parent and child process flows seperately. I am unable to link the parent process flow to its child work flows. Can anyone explain how to link/track the Parent process flow to its child process flows.
When i open the Parent process flow i was able to see the child process flow as an operator. But i was not able to view the contents child process flow further.

Running groups of procedures in process flow

I am having an impossible time trying to conceptualize a solution to the following problem:
I am trying to build a process flow in OWB 9.2.0.2.8 that executes a group of procedures before continuing with the rest of the workflow which executes further mappings.
I have a java stored procedure that must be executed daily to produce text files of securities prices to be loaded into a datawarehouse. The Oracle JVM does not run multi-threaded code in stored procedures, so to speed up the acquisition of the text files, I run 40 simultaneous OEM jobs against the stored procedure to produce a de facto 40-threaded process. This works well, but is not integrated into the workflow to load the text files into the database.
I would like to integrate the 40 OEM jobs into a process workflow: (1) Run all 40 procedures simultaneously to acquire the text files, (2) on success of all 40, execute the mapping to load the datawarehouse. This would be simple if the text file acquisition could be done in one procedure, but to iterate sequentially over all the securities takes too long - hence my effort to run jobs simultaneously by security groups.
Is it possible to build a process to run a group of procedures simulteously?
Perhaps I must move the datawarehouse loading process that follows the text file acquisition out of OWB by having the java stored procedure itself execute the load.

Many thank for the reply.
If I were to employ a fork to execute the java stored procedures in parallel, I do not understand how to set the next stage in the process, namely the mapping of an external table to the datawarehouse tables, to execute on the condition that ALL the forked processes have finished in success.
For example, page 10-24 of the users manual shows ftp, FDS, and Email activities executed in parallel after a mapping. I need the next activity after the FTP, FDS, and email to execute on success of FTP, FDS, and email as a group - like a join in the workflow. This is the issue.
Rather than use an external process to invoke the java stored procedure, I create a pl/sql procedure wrapper like :
PROCEDURE GET_STOCKPRICES AS
language java name 'prices.getthestockprices();'
to enable me to call the wrapper as a private procedure from OWB.
Currently this java stored procedure uses regular expressions to build 40 different text files of proper format to load into the warehouse. A separate job consolidates each text file into one file that is used as the external table to load the datawarehouse.

How to schedule mappings to process flows?

Hi,
I have shceduled a calendar (Job) which is referring to a process flow. But how can I make sure that the mappings are referring to the same process flow?
E.g. I have scheduled job at 10 AM , I have created the process flow for 10 AM referring to the same scheduled job.
My understanding here is there is a hierarchy : Scheduled jobs > Process Flows > Mappings
I have configured the process flow to run it at a scheduled job, now I want the mappings to understand to run at the same time as that of the schedule.
And also when I start the process flow all the mappings should get executed.
Is there any parameter to tell the process flow that all these mappings falls under you.
Hope I have made myself clear.
Can anyone please look into this query?
Thnks in adv..

When I double click and open my process flow I am not able to see any mapping. We have stored procedures written:

Job Schedular status running after killing process flow from OWF monitor

Hi,
PROBLEM SCENARIO:
Scheuled job called 'TEST' kicks off process flow called 'Child_load' under 'Parent_load_all' and gets stuck. I go into OWF (ORACLE WORK FLOW MONIOTOR) and kill both the process flows and then complete the Process flow run manually from OWB. Now, next day the scheduled job 'TEST' should execute 'Parent load all', but it doesn't do that instead it shows 'TEST' in 'Running' STATUS from yesterday when I see it in toad under Sched.Jobs. I have to drop the scheduled job and redeploy it from OWB in order for it to work.
Any idea why its doing that?
Thanks in advance.

hello
the status of the scheduled job should be 'running'
here is what i received from oracle support on that matter:
A scheduled job is always in BUSY status, till the moment it is stopped in the Control Center Manager.
If you open the Control Center Manager, goto the Location and expand the plus "+" in front of Scheduled Jobs. There should be your job DLOAD_JOB.
On the right bottom appears the dialog Control Center Jobs. And there is a tab "Scheduled". Click on that tab and you should see a green arrow in front of the job DLOAD_JOB. This means the job is running. (In fact it is not running but waiting to be executed again according scheduled time)
To stop the job to run according schedule, you can right-click on the job and choose "Stop". The green arrow will disappear and the status in the Repository Browser will be "Completed"
To start the job again, you can right-click on the job and choose "Start". The green arrow will appear again and the status in the Repository Browser will be "Busy"
so according to this the scheduler job should be in status running;
why it does not trigger your processes however is another thing;

How to configure FTP in Process Flow

I'm having troubles configuring an FTP activity in my process flow. Any clue how that should be done?
The documentation does not tell that much. I added the following to my parameter list in "Activity Panel"
/${Working.Host}=100.1.15.236/${Working.User}=XYZ/${Working.Password}=xxxxx/${Working.Rootpath}=C:\Nova\Data/${Remote.Host}=192.168.100.100/${Remote.User}=oracle/${Remote.Password}=xxxxx/${Remote.RootPath}=/export/home/oracle/
where "/" is the variable delimiter. The deployment went successfully, but when I try to execute, it hangs at the FTP activity and generate an error when cancelled.
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks,
Rene

URGENT!!!
i have included FTP activity in my process flow, i can able to FTP the file to the remote server.
I have two transitions and point to two end processes, one is end-success and the other one is end-error. But even if the FTP process completed and file have been successfully send to the remote server, still the process ends with End-Error.
If the FTP activity couldnt able to send the file due to some other reason still the process ends with the end-error.
Can any one give me some clues.

How to run the application process

Dear all,
I create an application on demand and when I called it it seems to return nothing.
How I can run only the process ?
Thanks
Eric

Hi,
It seems you want to do onClick or onmauseover event as I see your javascript function. As I did something like you probobly want to do, Yuo have to first declare javascript file into static files (shared component) then you need to declare onclick/onmauseover event somewhere on the page ( link in the report or something ...) and finally you have to build process on demond to show what you want to see after onclick/onmauseover event.
This is what i did and it works fine.

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.

Hi Kamal and kanakam kolla,
This is just to let you know that,I solved my problem little differently by creating a new location and deployed the process flow.Now my process flow is working fine when i call from the shell script.What i see is that, it does not update properly when we update and redeploy the process flow.So far this is the work arround i could think off and i succesfully tested this.
Thank you Kamal and kanakam kolla,for giving a thought towards my problem.

How to run just the data flow

We are in the process of converting from one ETL tool to Data Services 3.0. I have a workflow with several data flows underneath it and have to make a change to the data flow. Is there a way to run just the dataflow without executing the whole job? For example, I just want to run DF4 below.
WF --> DF1 --> DF2 --> DF3 --> DF4 --> DF5
Thanks,
Dan

Although this topic is solved, just a few clarifications:
When you create a new job and drag 'n drop the workflow/dataflow into it, you are not creating a second object (class), you are calling the object a second time (instantiate). It is like a BASIC program. I created a sub-procedure and called in DF1. In my filesystem I can see that sub-procedure as a seperate file in the folder object_library -> dataflow_procedures.
Then I have two main programs, both just calling that sub-procedure with "gosub DF1".
In the job you see the calls, when you drill into DF1 you see its definition and what object it calls.
Using a conditional is okay but not adviced in my opinion. You are losing too much, the handling is complex and development takes a few seconds longer. my two cents only.
