Invoking ALBPM (Oracle BPM) using Webservice calls

Hi,
I am trying to invoke Oracle BPM processes using webservice dynamically using events. I am presently not able to find any samples in this regard. Could somebody help me figure out a way to invoke Oracle BPM process dynamically using events ?
I would like to avoid the use of polling as an option.
TIA,
Sarat

I too have this question. It seems like you can no longer use BPEL with BPM 6.5/10GR3. Is this in fact the case? To use BPEL do you have to revert back to version 6.0?

How to Instantiate Oracle BPM Process Webservice from the OSB

Hi,
In our project we have one requirement i.e Instantiate Oracle BPM Process Webservice from the OSB.After register BPM service in to OSB I am creating one Message flow to instantiate BPM Process.
first call to startSession Operation, then use response of startSession operation is used as reqest for BPM process operation.
Can u tell me how do we use response of startSession operation to the request of BPM process.
Thanks in Advance.

An easier way of instantiating a BPM process via a WS call is to set the authentication type to 'Username Token Profile' on your web service operation in BPM studio and then redeploy it. If you use this type of security on your bpm process operations you can start the process in one call instead of having to get a session first and then starting the process.
Once you've updating the process, re-register the new process WSDL and business service with OSB (or import it manually) and you can just call the start process operation in one request (passing a username and password using the WS-UsernameToken method) without having to get a session first.
Hope this all make sense,
Mike.

Invoke RIQQuery in OTM using webservice

First of all, I can get the expected results from the Rate Inquiry page, only by setting the shipfrom and shipto location.
But when I try to invoke the RIQQuery by using webservice, I cannot get the TransmissionBody back.
I tracked the log for above operations and they are almost the same exception for some line difference at the end.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Oracle BPM Papi WebServices

Hi,
When I am trying to Launch PAPI Webservices in Oracle BPM Studio 10.3.1 and in Oracle BPM Enterprise Standalone Server, I am getting the error: "HTTP Status 404 - Servlet PapiWebServiceServlet is not available".
Please help me in sorting out the issue.
Thanks,
Abhishek

To see how to invoke PAPI-WS when using Oracle BPM Studio, go to this thread: PAPI Web Service (PAPI-WS) Example for Oracle BPM Studio
Just a guess, but I'd suspect that the "Start PAPI Web Services" Studio Engine checkbox has not been checked (right mouse click the Project in your Project Navigator tab -> Engine Preferences -> click the "Advanced" tab on the right -> check the "Start PAPI Web Services" checkbox).
Here is the location of a step-by-step explanation on how to use PAPI Web Service (PAPI-WS) to create a work item instance and then run the instance inside an activity in a process running on Oracle BPM Enterprise Standalone.
http://www.4shared.com/file/128249957/9bd6ef61/PAPI-WS_for_Oracle_BPM_Standalone.html
Be sure to use the project that is in the zip file for this example.

Invoking a bpel process using webservice client

I am not able to run the sample webservice client from

<ns1:action>200</ns1:action>
<ns1:quantity>122</ns1:quantity>
</ns1:stockReviewSheet>

Sancho,
Thanks for the prompt reply. We trying to automate the following process:-
1. The user select multiple documents from a folder in a library that contains all released documents.
2. He then locks the documents.
3. Selects the locked documents and copies it to a folder in the personal library.
We are trying to lock and copy the documents as a 1 step process, because its difficult for the users to select all of the documents locked earlier and then copy it the personal library.
We are trying to take the folder name as the user parameter, when the files are locked, so that the process and create the lock the files, create the folder and copy the files in this folder.
Thanks again for your time and help.

To format an Excel worksheet invoked by oracle form using DDE functions

I'm exporting data from oracle form6 into excel sheet using DDE functions.
Is there any DDE functions to format the excel sheet.

Maybe you can use format commands through DDE (if the DDE server suports them) but I personally don't know.
My approach is to record an excel macro which formats your sheet and then invoke the macro through DDE. You can fill cells with control numbers (like number of rows, number of cells) so you can make your macro even smarter by reading these numbers.

How to print a report on crystal report server using webservice call

Hi,
I'm looking for web service api calls that help print a report on the crystal report server. Can someone post a snippet of how this is done.

Invoking ALBPM Process from ALSB

Hi,
I am presently trying to invoke ALBPM(Oracle BPM) process by registering my process as webservice to ALSB (OSB). I am however not able to trigger my processes from ALSB. I have posted the steps followed. Please help me in figuring out the missing piece
a) Registered the ALBPM Process WSDL in ALSB by importing manually
b) Created a Business Service based on the WSDL
c) Created a Proxy Service based on the WSDL.
Invoked the "startSession" operation to generate the sessionID using ALSB test browser. ALSB receives an error response.
I was however able to generate my sessionID and also invoke my processes successfully by using any generic Soap client.
Please do help me in figuring out my missing steps.
Thanks in Advance,
Rudraksh

Hi,
Thanks for your response. I am getting an echo of the request as the response. I am just trying to invoke my "startSession" from test browser . I am presently using the default proxy services to trigger the ALBPM webservices. I haven't configured any message flows.I have posted the invocation trace response below.
Invocation trace ::
Routed Service
No Service has been invoked, the request is echoed.
I also happened to try out the option of registering the endpoint to connect to OSB from with OBPM. I am presently getting this stack trace everytime I try to register.

Triggering a published webservice using Webservice

Hi All,
I am presently trying to invoke an Oracle BPM webservice published on the Enterprise Server. I however, always get hit with "Process Access Denied" Soap Fault. I happened to create an participant in the enterprise with the same Role as the defined in my published process. I also added "Global Creation Activity" hoping that it would help me figure out the issue. None of which seems to help me resolve my issue.
The same process seems to work fine while executing from Studio.
The response message is posted below:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

Oracle BPM Suite : Oracle BPM vs Oracle BPEL PM

Hi All,
I am new in Oracle BPM and how some experience learning how to use Oracle BPM. Now when reading about the components products inside "Oracle BPM Suite" in detail , I am some what confuse about :
1) In What situation that we should use "Oracle BPM" rather than "Oracle BPEL PM" ?
2) In What situation that we should use "Oracle BPEL PM" rather than "Oracle BPM" ?
I am confuse about these issue since both of the products come together when we order "Oracle BPM Suite" and both of the products can be used for "HUman Workflow Applications" as well
Could you please help clarify these issues ? Thank you very much in advance.
Best Regards
Pearapon S.

Hi Pearapon,
You’ve raised a good point.
Every once in a while, I see an article written by a BPM pundit that attempts to make the case that the BPMN approach (Oracle BPM uses this) is superior to the BPEL approach or vice versa. Here's one example on InfoQ - http://www.infoq.com/articles/bpelbpm. Its title "Why BPEL is not the holy grail for BPM" is very misleading. This is a typical example of an author sitting in either the BPMN or BPEL camp criticizing the other camp's standard. In this article, the author attempts to indict all BPMN to BPEL conversion attempts based on the author's poorly drawn process.
Although I know that controversy boosts readership of these types of articles, in my opinion it’s not a “vs.”. Both the BPMN and BPEL standards have strengths when used with certain use cases.
Here’s one scenario where Oracle BPM and Oracle BPEL PM are synergistic. My background is with Oracle BPM, but I’ve used Oracle BPEL PM on a project for the orchestration of composite services. I used Oracle BPM to model the business processes understood by executives, managers, subject matter experts, business analysts and developers. Using the same simple role based activity flow process diagram, everyone understands what the business problem is and how the process will work solve the problem. The Oracle BPM Automatic activities in the process hit Oracle BPEL processes. Here we used the BPEL processes to hit and orchestrate the underlying IT components . We exposed the BPEL processes using the customer’s service bus and we invoked it from the Oracle BPM process’s Automatic activity (Oracle BPM -> OSB -> Oracle BPEL). Alternatively, If the customer had not had a service bus, I could have invoked the BPEL process directly from the Oracle BPM process via a cataloged web service in Oracle BPM.
Hope this helps,
Dan

Oracle BPM to Replace a System

Greetings,
I am considering replacing an existing mission critical back office system with Oracle BPM. I've talked with references provided by Oracle, and in all cases these co's used BPM to improve processes and orchestrate workflow across systems, NOT replace a system.
Where would our business logic reside??? Would the system be a collection of components running inside BPM?
Although this could be done, to me, this doesn't seem like the intended purpose of a BPM tool. It just doesn't sit well with me that we'd use a business modeling and process tool to replace a mission critical solution.
Thanks

Regarding your question about where the logic in a BPM process would reside, rather than rip and replace, you might want to first consider reusing assets from your existing applications inside an Oracle BPM process.
If you have a service bus, the components would be exposed to and invoked by Oracle BPM via as a web service. If you don't have a service bus, you could expose components directly inside of Oracle BPM if they are Java POJOs, web services, .NET assemblies, or databases. If you go this path, you'll lose the loose coupling SOA provides but you'll get your project going.
If you don't have component assets available for reuse, you can build logic inside automatic activities in a process. Again, if your developers would prefer to develop the components in Java or .NET, these could be exposed to the process and invoked when needed from inside the process.
Consider also exposing business rules in a rules engine if you have one. You can invoke these rules from inside a process. If you don't already have a rules engine, Oracle BPM has a simple business rules editor and rules engine that comes with it now. The benefit of this is that you are not hard coding rules inside a process. Instead you expose the business rules to the business people. This makes your processes more agile and easier to change. You won't have to wait for IT to change the process and redeploy the process into production. Business rules take effect immediately after the business person changes the rule.

Dan

How to call Apache CXF webservice/Spring/jms from Oracle BPM 10g

Hi , I am new to Oracle BPM and trying to develop simple POC. Can anybody give me some pointers on how to call a webservice whcich is based on Apache CXF/Spring/WSDL/jms as transport from oracle bpm 10g

You should ask this question in the JDeveloper or BI Publisher forum.

Calling Oracle BPM Process Web Service from Oracle Service Bus

Hi
I am using Oracle Service Bus 10gR3.
I have developed simple BPM process through Oracle BPM studio 10.3.1.0.I then followed steps below
1. Create a Process.
2. Expose the Process as a Web Service.
3. Run the project. This starts the Process Execution Engine.
4. Create an ALSB External Resource of type Management Host.
5. Create a second ALSB External Resource for registration.
6. Register the End Point
Until this point everything is fine. Then I created one project through Oracle Service Bus console. Under that created WSDL, Proxy Service and Business Service Folders. I am using the web service created through BPM studio as teh Business Service in SB . I then created one proxy service to route the request to the Business Service.
Finally when I try to test the Proxy Service by launching test console, I get the
<con:fault xmlns:con="http://www.bea.com/wli/sb/context">
<con:errorCode>BEA-380001</con:errorCode>
<con:reason>INTERNAL SERVER ERROR</con:reason>
<con:location>
<con:node>RouteNode1</con:node>
<con:path>response-pipeline</con:path>
</con:location>
</con:fault>
I also tried to debug through "Oracle Workshop for WebLogic Version 10.3 " . But I am not getting enough details as to why this is failing.
Please help me . Thanks In advance.
Thanks

call dbms_java.grant_permission( 'WS_TEST', 'SYS:java.net.SocketPermission', '127.0.0.1:8084', 'connect,resolve' );
As I wrote earlier, WS_TEST is my user into which I load JAX-RPC client. Note that, if you load JAX-RPC client into user another than SYS, you have NOT to use -s -grant public option (wassam wrote about this too). Another thing is that I (finally) didn't load OC4J. To consume WebService I use utl_dbws.invoke(call_Handle CALL, request SYS.XMLTYPE) function.
