How to specify the Process Flow Module with SQLPLUS_EXEC_TEMPLATE.SQL ?

Hi, we have a couple of process flow modules that have PF Packages and Process Flows with the same name.
E.g
PFMOD1 (Module)
FILELOAD (Package)
PF1 (Pf)
PFMOD2 (Module)
FILELOAD (Package)
PF1 (Pf)
Normally we can specify "FILELOAD/PF1" as a paramater to the procedure SQLPLUS_EXEC_TEMPLATE.SQL in order to initiate the running of an OWB process flow but how can the system distinguish between modules ?
Anyone done this ?
Thanks
Paul

If you deployed the packages to the same location then the second deployment replaced the result of the first one (actually a new version of the process flow was created). You can execute only the latest version...

How to integrate the Process flow design into Workflow?

Hi Guys,
I created a process flow design in OWB. Now I need to integrate this design into Oracle workflow. How can I implement it? Process flow design is saved as an Jpeg or SVG file. Pls suggest the steps how can I do this? Im new to workflow and owb. Im using OWB 10g.

To find the processing Func. module

hi,
can anyone tell me how to find the processing Func. module(outbound) if i know the message type, basic type and extension.
i tried with we57 but coudnt find the one(outbound) needed.

Hi Pawan,
From the link
http://www.intelligententerprise.com/channels/applications/feature/archive/kasturi.jhtml
For more inf. you can check this link.
From WEDI got to Control -> Inbound process codes -> Inbound with ALE service -> Processing by function module (transaction WE42), or from WEDI go to Control -> Outbound process codes -> Outbound with ALE service -> With function module (transaction WE41). There will be function modules associated with the process codes. For inbound, the function modules usually follow this pattern: IDOC_INPUT_messagetype: for example, IDOC_INPUT_CHRMAS for inbound characteristics master.
*Use transaction WE57 or from WEDI go to Development -> Message/Application Object. The entries list the function module, Business Object, message type, and IDOC type that are used for inbound ALE/EDI interfaces.
Hope you will clear now, if yes please close this thread with rewarding appropriate points to the helpful answers.

How to run a process flow in recovery mode

Hi,
I have 10 Mappings in a Process Flow. While executing that process flow, All of sudden It got errored out at 5th mapping.
Please explain me how to run the process flow again from the 5th mapping( which got errored out in the previos run)....i.e I do not want to run the first 4 mappings in that process flow again, I want to run only the remaining mappings in the process flow.
Please let me know in case you need more information / explaination.
Thanks in advance...

Hi
On the question of process flows and resuming the following article gives some ideas, it has to be designed in the process flow basically;

Scheduling the Process Flows in Oracle Warehouse Builder

Hi,
Can you please let me know how to schedule the process flows.I mean to make the process flow to run on a daily, weekly basis etc.Where exactly we need to schedule the process flows.
It would be great if you can help me out.
Thanks
Vinay

You can schedule process flows the same way as you schedule mappings. See the following viewlet regarding the scheduling of OWB activities in Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM):

How to pass execution_audit_id of the process flow to an external process

Hi,
I'd like to execute this sql
SELECT EXECUTION_AUDIT_ID
FROM RUNTIME_OWNER.ALL_RT_AUDIT_EXECUTIONS
within a process flow, and pass the returned value to an external process(within the same process flow) which is a unix script. Is this doable? How can it be accomplished?
Thanks!

Hi Patrick,
Yes, I did look at those threads, but they don't help me with what I am trying to accomplish. Here is the design
The map runtime audit id value is used to uniquely name a file created by one map. Within the process flow, which contains the map that creates this file, I need to rename the file using a suffix string provided by the user. So, if file created is med_admin_1234 (1234 is map runtime audit id), and suffix is "fac_a", then new filename is med_admin_fac_a. For this renaming functionality I am using a Unix script (file is created in a Unix server), but I need to pass the map runtime id that's part of the initial name in order to rename the file. Makes sense? Within the process flow, I need to retrieve a value (instead of an input parameter, have like an output parameter instead). Not sure this is doable, but asking just in case.
Thanks.

Getting an process-flow audit id in the process flow itself

Hi,
I am using OWB 11gR2 and want to capture the audit_id of the process flow itself at the process-flow level.
I want to use this to pass it tru to the mappings in the process flow.
I know how to get audit_id when you're in the mapping (get_audit_id), but i want the audit_id of the process flow when i am "inside" the process flow.
When i have this i can let all of my mappings in the flow receive the same id.
When i setup a parameter at the process flow and specify get_audit_id there it errors on me.
Does anybody what to specify here ?

ok,
i figured it out myself and answered myself in another thread.
Basically it goes like this:
In the master flow you have sub-processflow objects which you want to pass along the audit_id of the master flow.
So that you can pass along the same audit-id to every mapping in all of the flows.
But it would be nice to be able to run sub flows independently from the master flows (for testing etc.)but still feed the same id(whatever that is) to the mappings in that process flow.
And on the lowest level this applies to mappings as well: be able to run a mapping and get a id to store in a field.
The same applies to feeding a process date to all the mappings in your flows(used for dwh purposes)
How does this work on the mappings ?
Create a mapping input parameter, put 2 params in it.
One date, one number. The date part is easy: just put SYSDATE in it.
The number part would ideally hold get_audit_id as default value. Unfortunately this generates an error.
So put default value of 1 here. Create a constant on the mapping with value get_audit_id in it.
Create expression that tests if input_param has something else than 1 as the value ; if so then there was no audit_id fed into the mapping by a process flow. Make the expression use the constant then. Use the output of the expression in your mapping.
How does this work in process flows ?
You'll have two different parts here:
-feeding from flow to a sub-flow
-feeding from flow to mapping
Flow to subflow:
You can not bind a flowparameter to subprocess paramter so you'll need to create 2 variables.(process date / audit id)
Create two parameters, one date with sysdate as default, one number with 1 as default.
Use assign operator to bind audit_id parameter to the audit id variable.
Use another one to bind to the same variable, but specify parent_audit_id as value instead of binding it to the paramter.
Use conditonal routing on these two assign operators to have one of these be executed.
This will ensure that the variabel either gets parent_audit or the value of the input parameter of the flow.
Use another assign op. to bind the date input to the date variabel.
Bind the parameters of the sub flows to the variables.
Flow to mapping:
Use the same procedure as descibed above. Only difference here is that you can bind a mapping parameter to a parameter.
This means that you'll don't need the assign stuff for the date parameter since you can bind the date parameter of the mapping to the input parameter of the flow.
Hope this helps someone ...

OWB | Passing input to mapping in the process flow

Hi,
I have a process flow which calls a stored procedure which returns 2 values.
I want to use the values returned from this procedure as an input in my mapping. My mapping has Mapping_Input_Parameters definined for these two inputs.
These values are going to be load_date and the batch it belongs.
I have created new params in the process flow edit under the mapping. The process flow executes successfully if I give the input params as a constant. When I do a binding with the out variable of the stored procedure I get a deployment error as "Internal error: OUT_D_LOAD_DATE cannot be converted to a constant value. Please correct the value. If the problem persists then please contact Oracle Support with the stack trace and details on how to reproduce it."
Please let me know how to resolve this and if there is way to get the load_date in the mapping without actually having to call the procedure in the mapping. The load_date will change everyday and I need to read it from a table.
Thanks!

Hi
If you have resolved the error please guide me also Since I am also facing the same error. (RPE-02040: Internal error: MYRAND cannot be converted to a constant value. Please correct the value. )
I am using 10gR2, Here my test process flow is
Start - > MyRand -> FindOddEven->end
Here MyRand function will return a value, the function findOddEven will just do a mod of 2 and return 1 for odd numbers and 0 for even numbers. When I bind the OUT parameter of the MyRand to the IN parameter of the FindOddEven it is throwing the same error.
Thanks in advance

Numbers to CSV export script: how to specify the encoding?

Hi,
I'm using the following script to export a Numbers document to CSV:
# Command-line tool to convert an iWork '09 Numbers
# document to CSV.
# Parameters:
# - input: Numbers input file
# - output: CSV output file
# Attik System, Philippe Lang
# Creation date: 31 mai 2012
# Modification date:
on run argv
# We retreive the path of the script
          set myPath to (path to me)
          tell application "Finder" to set myFolder to folder of myPath
# We get the command line parameters
          set input_file to item 1 of argv
          set output_file to item 2 of argv
# We retreive the extension of the file
          set theInfo to (info for (input_file))
          set extname to name extension of (theInfo)
# Paths
          set input_file_path to (myFolder as text) & input_file
          set output_file_path to (myFolder as text) & output_file
          if extname is equal to "numbers" then
    tell application "Numbers"
      open input_file_path
      save document 1 as "LSDocumentTypeCSV" in output_file_path
      close every window saving no
    end tell
          end if
end run
It works fine, except that I don't know how to specify the encoding of the text in the CSV file (Latin1, MacRoman, Unicode). This option is available in the export dialog of Numbers. Any hint on how to do that is welcome. (GUI Scripting?)
Where can I find documentation on the iWork "vocabulary" available? Is there a definitive documentation somewhere? I tried to record an manual export in the script editor, without success. Script is more or less empty.
Thanks!
Philippe Lang

A further note from Yvan. He's made some revisions to the script sent earlier.
--{code}
--[SCRIPT export to CSV with selected encoding]
I added some features.
(1) Defining the encoding thru the preferences file apply only if
the application is not in use because the file is read only once in a session.
A test urge you to quit Numbers if it is running.
(2) info for is deprecated so it may be removed by Apple tomorrow.
I no longer use it.
(3) just for the fun, I added a piece of code allowing you to select the encoding on the fly.
Thanks to the property chooseEncodingInScript, at this time the script use Unicode (UTF-8)
(4) I'm wondering which tool is used to launch this script,
I don't know the way to pass arguments when I run one.

As an aside, I will attempt to get rid of the READY deployment and deployment unit using deactive_deployment.sql
Now, if I attempt to use deactivate_execution.sql on any of the executions with status BUSY I get:

ORA-06512: at "OWNER_OWR.WB_RT_EXECUTION", line 90
ORA-06512: at line 4
owner_owr@ORKDEV01>
So all the seems to remain is to use abort_exec_request.sql
This does the job, but the script itself hangs.
I think it has to do with the l_stream_id not being checked again after the initial IF. I think it should probably be part of the loop condition as it is again reset in the do_acks inside the loop.

How to check for a function module with its description and functionality

Hi all,
How to check for a function module,with its description and its functionality,in detail how can I know the purpose of a particular function module,how to search for a function module which suits my requirement .

Hi,
You can search a FM of your requirement by putting in the Key words and searching for a FM. Like * KEYWORD * and then pressing F4.
Say for example you need to search something regarding converstion.
Search for * CONVERT * and press F4.
If there is something specfic like converting date to something you can give
DATE * CONVERT *
OR
CONVERT * DATE * and press F4.
Once you narrow down your search you will have a Function module documentation inside the Function module. Please note that all the FMs willl not have documentation.

I have created a simple process flow which only calls the external process. The script is on the same host as the process flow is deployed to.
I have used two diffent values for the command parameter.
1. I placed the full path of the file in the command parameter and left the script parameter blank:

COMMAND: /usr/bin/sh
PARAMETER_LIST:

SCRIPT: /edwftp/ppas/scripts/ClearPPAS.sh
Both of these appear to work as they print out the statements inside the script but the files that are supposed to be removed still remain.
