Human Task allocation in 11g

Hi,
The Human task defined in BPEL process through the jdev in 10g had an option to edit the task definition, wherein one could change the allocation of task. But this option is not to be seen in 11g jdev editor. The task definition seems to be read only with an option to edit the task rather then change the task allocation. Is there a way to achieve this in 11g ?
Thanks.

Hi,
Thank for the prompt reply, this seems to be a tedious job, all the more painful in case if you have an application been migrated from 10g to 11g. We have this application which has 12 different groups to be assigned across numerous human task. When this application was migrated from 10g to 11g through the jdev, all the human task by default got allocated to one group. In the absence of reassignments, deleting these human task and recreating with new assignments is final option, but considering the numerous human task this would be a really agonizing task. Is there any other alternate option available.

Human Task in jDeveloper 11g users list not available

I have the problem, I defined SQL authenticator in wenlogic, and I want to do assignment at human task. But, human task only see jazn users, alhough I see the users defined in db at weblogic console

Hi ppssrr,
Check the providers are in "SUFFICIENT" mode,both, DefaultAutenticator as your own.
Other way:
If I remember correctly, you can use "External Routing", creating an allocation rule from an external supplier.
Then assign participant based on that rule as.

Display the status of parallel human tasks in ADF web page (BPM 11g)

Hi,
We create a BPMN process (BPM 11g) which splits into parallel branches. Each branch has its own user activity. We want to show the task status of ALL the parallel user activities (running or completed) in the ADF web page implemented for the user activity so the user would have the whole picture of the process.
In another words, we are able to check the status of the component instances associated with the process instance in the Oracle EM. We want to provide the similar information (in our case, we only want to show the status of the human task components) to the user when they access the human task page.
I wonder if the only solution is to write Java code with the API to lookup the BPMN process instance. We try to avoid Java coding if possible. Please advise. Also, so far, I have not found any complete instruction/document on how to access the BPMN process instance and check the tasks etc. through the API. Please help if you know where I could get such information.
Thanks a lot,
Helen

BPM 11g - Human task not removed when interrupting boundary event fired

In BPM 11g (11.1.1.1.3), I am testing a message catch event on the boundary of a human task. It is set for interrupting, so it should, when the event fires, remove the human task from the work list and follow the flow out of the event. The event flow is being followed, but the human task is being left active in the user's work list. I would expect the human task to be removed when the interrupting boundary message event occurs.
I think this is a bug, but would welcome any suggestions on how to solve it. Does anyone know if this works in the latest release (11.1.1.1.4)? We might upgrade pretty soon. Has anyone else tried boundary message events and gotten them to work properly in BPM 11g?
Just FYI....in order to make the BPM message event occur and provide instance correlation, we had to add a mediator and BPEL correlation. We followed process documented in a previous post to do this (http://blog.andrade.inf.br/2011/01/implementing-correlation-in-bpm-11gr1.html). Thanks to whomever posted that...it got us a few steps further along!

I do not think this is bug based on
Oracle® Fusion Middleware Modeling and Implementation Guide for Oracle Business Process Management
23.1.1 Understanding the Relationship Between SOA Composites and SOA Components
"In a similar way, when an interrupting timer or message boundary event arrives to a user task, the BPMN process instance leaves the user task but the associated Human Task remains available. Because the interrupting timer or message boundary event arrived before the user completes the user task, the human task remains unfinished, and you can still access it thought the Worklist application. However running that human task does not have any effect on the BPMN process."
This also gives us big trouble. I am looking for the solution.

BPM 11G comments and file attachments issue on human tasks

Hi all,
We have used JDeveloper 11G and SOA suite 11G + BPM (with PS1,PS2) to create and deploy a simple BPM process. The process consists of two swim-lanes ( Business Analyst and Snr Executive). The BA swim-lane has a human task which which initiates the process and the second swim-lane (SE) has a voting task. Both forms were auto generated.
------ Process steps ----
step 1. The initiator of the process( Business analyst) submits a document and adds comments on the form. (1st swim lane)
step 2. The task is received by the Snr Executive group and they need to accept or reject the document.
step 3. If any of the Snr Execs rejects the document, the process flow goes back to the Business analyst(the requester or initiator) for review.
(the voting group is able to share comments and the file attachments).
step 4. The business analyst receives a task on her list. This task list should have the comments made by the Snr Execs who rejected the document. ---This is where we are having a problem. The business Analyst, receives the task, but the document and comments are not updated. This still shows the original document and comments, she sent when initiating the process.
We have opened a SR with My Oracle support and it was suggested we apply a hot fix 9958661, which was done (see output below). Unfortunately this did not solve the problem.
Questions:
1. Is the default behavior of BPM 11G ?
2. How can we change this behavior to do what we want ?
---------------------------------------opatch update output -----------------------------------------------------------
ApplySession adding interim patch '9958661' to inventory
Verifying the update...
Inventory check OK: Patch ID 9958661 is registered in Oracle Home inventory with proper meta-data.
Files check OK: Files from Patch ID 9958661 are present in Oracle Home.
The local system has been patched and can be restarted
I any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks

Ok, this is what i did:
- I have a Process Data Object called CustomComments with just 1 attribute called comments.
- I have added that object to my user screens (adf page)
- Changed its columns att to 65 and rows to 8 (i chose that layout)
- Used a tableLayout to add an icon next to this text area to allow the user to add comments:
<af:commandImageLink shortDesc="addCommentImage" id="addCommentImage" partialSubmit="true" icon="/hw_images/new_ena.png">
     <af:clientListener method="myFunction" type="click"/>
     <af:clientAttribute name="attributeName" value="attributeValue"/>
</af:commandImageLink>
I use that clientAttribute to send the logged user to the javascipt.
- I added this after the af:document on top of the page to make the customComments readonly to the user (you need to do it here because if you set it in the properties the element is not updated later), so the user has to use the button i put to add comments:
<f:facet name="metaContainer">
     <f:facet name="metaContainer">
     <af:resource type="javascript">
          function readOnly(){
               var comms = document.getElementById("it1::content");
               comms.setAttribute("readOnly","true")
     </af:resource>
</f:facet>
<af:clientListener method="readOnly" type="load"/>
- Somewhere i added the javascript the commandLink calls:
<trh:script id="myScripts">
     function addComment(evt){
          var commentArea = document.getElementById("it1::content");
var user = evt.getSource().getProperty("user");
var comm = prompt("Please enter your comment: ","");
          if (comm != null) {
               if (comm != ""){
                    if (commentArea.value !=""){commentArea.value = commentArea.value + "\n"}
                    commentArea.value = commentArea.value + "user.value" + " : " + comm;
</trh:script>
After all this, you have an object that carries the comments from one screen (UI project) to another and is updated each time.
I know it may not be the perfect solution and that it could be improved a lot, but so far it does what i need so i use it.
If there is anything i wasnt clear enough, please let me know. Hope this helps.

BPM 11g deployment error when include Human Task

During deployment, when I include a Human Task in my BPM 11g project, the deployment fails. The error message in JDeveloper is:
Weblogic Server Exception: weblogic.application.ModuleException:
Caused by: weblogic.common.ResourceException: weblogic.common.ResourceException: Could not create pool connection. The DBMS driver exception was: [unixODBC][Driver Manager]Data source name not found, and no default driver specified
If I don't include the Human Task application in deployment, it's fine. I used the Auto Create feature to generate the ADF project/form. I've deleted and recreated the Human Task, but that hasn't helped.
What can cause this error? I've googled for days, but have not found anything similar.

Kunwar - Thank you very much for your reply. I checked in EM under Applications, and there is no application with the name of my Human Task application that is part of my BPM project. To be sure, I just rebooted the server and checked again, but it is not there, and the reboot did not solve the problem.
I'm not sure if this is related to the problem, but here is some other information. A few days ago when I tried to redeploy just the BPM project (keeping save revision, and checking "Overwrite any existing composites"), I received a null pointer exception error. Since then, I must Undeploy the BPM Application using EM to then redeploy it using JDeveloper. Here is the error I was getting:

Migrating 10g Human Task Bpel process to 11g - No task flow

Hi All,
I have migrated a bpel process that has a human task to 11g. I need to stipulate the uri so that it will show on the worklist.
Apparently there is a file in the WEB-INF folder that i must reference. I went into the folder and there is many xml files(adfc-config.xml,faces-config.xml,trindad-config.xml, web.xml, weblogic.xml) there is no file generated from the migration. Hence how do i go about to get the correct uri and for the worklist to show.
Below is an incomplete uri
/workflow/ExceptionHandlerTaskForm//faces/adf.task-flow?_id=ExceptionHandler_WF_1_TaskFlow&_document=WEB-INF/

Thanks for your reply and confirmation, really appreciate it.
Yes, I found the difference of the invoking process API and was able to invoke bpel process using direct and ADF-BC binding by following Edwin's blog. But I have not found any official reference to compare this API difference between 10g and 11g ( I will mark this question as answered if anyone can find an official source from oracle, need to prove it to the team). The API to work with human task workflow seems pretty much the same between 10g and 11g.

Human Task Auto Release Default and configuration question in 11g

Is there anyway to turn off the auto release feature of a human task if you do not put an expiration date on a task? Also the documentation says the default is 12 hours. If there is not a way to turn off the auto release feature, can the 12 hour default be changed? The documentation is not fully clear to me and then when I look at the UI from the console I do not understand what the identifiers of P5D, P4D, etc mean under the Default Duration column. I get the use of percentage but it is unclear what Default Duration is and how to use that field.
I saw in 10.1.2 there was a way to turn off the auto release feature of task via restrictedActions but I did not see this in 11g.
And last question is does anyone know if human task is stored to a database if it runs for too long similar to the concept discussed around bpel processes of hydration and dehydration?
Thanks,
Diane

I am able to fix this issue. After a series of R & D I was able to find that the root cause is %APPDATA%\jdeveloper. Deleting the relevant directory will solve this issue. In fact, I tried to delete the entire jdeveloper directory under %APPDATA% and the jdev 11.1.1.7 form generation issue got resolved. Those who find "referential integrity" issue may follow this approach.
This solution also applies to this thread

Advanced human task routing on Oracle Bpm Suite 11g.

Hi
Do Oracle Bpm Suite 11g human tasks have concept of advanced routing of tasks ? For example if we have three groups of people, each of these groups have skills defined. And when task is created then the skills required fulfill the task (could be defined in task metadata) is compared against the three groups. The task is then assigned to the work queue of the most fitting group ?
So what I mean by this, is that you can specify rules which define which work queue (and multiple user can be assigned to the work queue) receives which tasks ?
Thank you for answering and I will gladly give more details regarding this issue...
Best Regards Tuomas Katva

I must disagree a little... Human task's have been separated from process logic and I think it reasonable. I don't think that routing logic belongs to the business process, ofcourse this just semantics but I think it would make separation of concerns more apparent. If the human task - service/manager could determine the routing logic (to whom the task is assigned) based on the parameters it receives, it would then make clear separation of logic: business process would handle the overall control flow and the human task manager would handle the human task flow.
What I'm asking is there some pattern or API or something that would allow for example skill based routing of task. I know that Bea Aqualogic had "parametrized roles" which allowed the task to be routed on runtime to a "dynamic role", and IBM has "Business categories" and "Workbaskets" which allows advanced routing of a task based on runtime properties. Let me give you an example:
Let's say we have two skill categories:
Language
Claim type (for example in insurance)
Applicant posts the claim and the insurance case is assessed by insurance handler. When the process flow comes to a human task it passes the claim's language and type of the claim to the human task manager. The human task manager would then determine who should handle this task. Let's say that Mike speaks spanish and has skills in car insurance claims. The human task manager would be responsible for determening that this task belongs to Mike (in case that the claim was in spanish and it was car insurance claim).
Is there any patterns or examples how this should be handled. I know this quite like case management but I think modern BPM's should be able to handle case management.
Thank you
Best Regards Tuomas Katva

Is human task in 11g soa suite WS-HumanTask complaint ?

Hi all,
I have a small doubt,is human task in 11g soa suite WS-HumanTask complaint ?
Thank You

If BPEL don't timed out, you can have Human task in Synchronous BPEL process.
For this, you can have your synchronous reply before any Human task call back receive activities (this causes the timeout) or you can just create human task and no other call back receive activities.
Thanks

Filter database lookup based on human task (BPM 11g)

Using BPM/SOA 11g PS3
I have a business case where a field is pulling data from an external table and the user would like to filter the return based on the current step in the flow. For example:
Database would return: A, B, C, D, E, F
Human task 1 should show: A, B, C
Human task 2: A, B, E, F
Human task 3: C, D, E
Human task 4: D, E, F
Human task 5: E, F
The BA would also like the ability to change this (if possible) without us having to redeploy. If I can avoid it, I don't want to hardcode these into the JSPX.
Thoughts on how best to implement something like this?

I was looking into using a business rule and using a decision table. I thought first, could I put the business rule in my task ADF...but then how do I know what task I am on, how do I pull that into my decision table?
