Invoking bpel process from another bpel process in same app server

Hi,
When I invoke a bpel process from another bpel process in the same oracle AS
1. Is it a SOAP call or is there any optimization?
2. If there is some optimization where can I configure this?
3. Is there any similar optimizations if I invoke a bpel process from a
java application deployed in the same server? If so can you please provide
a sample?
Thanks for your help
Raj

By default the BPEL 10.1.2, it will do a local call to the process. It will not execute a SOAP request, no network access is done.
It can be configured at domain level:
Parameter: optSoapShortcut (SOAP local optimization)
Turns on "short-cut" for local SOAP request; local SOAP calls are normally done via an internal call instead of sending a message through the SOAP stack.
The default behavior for the engine is to optimize all. To disable optimization specify a value other than "true" or "yes".

Calling BPM Sub Process from another BPM Process - Stuck at Sub Process

Hi
JDeveloper 11.1.1.6, BPM 11.1.1.6, WLS 10.3.6
I am trying to Call a BPM Process from another BPM Process. Both the processes are defined in the same BPM Project.
Both the Processes have 'None' Start and End activities.
The 'Parent Process' has a 'Call Activity' which calls the 'Sub Process'.
The Sub process takes a parameter of payload object as input and returns output (also same payload object)
I have passed the payload object from parent to sub process in the 'Data Associations'.
The Start and End activities in the sub process also have the data associations set where I am passing the payload object from parent process to child process.
When I run the process and see the Enterprise Manager console - Audit Trail / Flow tabs,
Flow Tab - The progress of the process is showing only till the Calling of the sub process in the Parent Process. It does not show the Sub Process.
Audit Trail Tab - Shows that the Sub Process is called but has not reached to the End of the Sub process.
The audit trail does not have links to the sub process activities.
I cannot see any exceptions as well in the audit trail.
How can I find out why the process is stuck? Or what is going on in the process?
Please let me know if my explanation is not clear?
Thanks for any help
Regards
Sameer

Thanks for replying.
I have another Sub Process with Start and End events as Message Events and used Send Task and Receive Task (Implementation : Process Call) in the Main process to invoke the sub process asynchronously.
Then, the Sub Process is shown in the 'Flow Trace' as child of the main process.
In this particular one, I used 'Call Activity' to call the sub process.
So the Audit trail is showing the sub process as a child.
But what I was trying to say is that the audit trail did not have links to the entries in the 'Event' column (in Enterprice manager - instance window). (like Instance entered activity, Instance left activity etc).
I was intending to use these links to see the payload information and try to debug if there is any problem with the code.
The actual problem I was trying to say in the post is that, even after the user responds to the activity (User Task - Approval) in the Sub process,
the audit trail is not proceeding further.
In the Sub process definition, after the user task, there is End with none implementation.
Hope it is clear now.
Thanks and Regards

Timeout error calling a Business Process from another Business Process

Hi to all,
How can I call a Business Process (BP2) from another Business Process (BP1) and wait for the response before other things are performed? I'm trying to call from BP1 in a synchronous step the process BP2; the first step of BP2 is an Open S/A Bridge and, after a transformation, a Close S/A Bridge, but no response returns to BP1 till a timeout error.
Thank you very much,
Antonio

Killing a Java process from another Java process

Hi
Is there a possible way of sending a SIGINT, SIGKILL, or any other signal from a Java process running in one JVM, to a java process running in a different JVM on the same machine.
I've the signal handlers written in my process and they do respond to singals (e.g. on pressing Ctrl-C) on the console, but i want to write a separate program that sends this signal to the first process.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance and regards
Kashif

The answer, as always, is that Java can't do operating-system-specific things like that, but you can use JNI to do it. However, if your code created the Java process you want to kill, via Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(...), then you can use p.destroy() to kill it.

Starting New process (continous) from another java process

Hi,
I am running into a trouble in starting a new java process (continous process it is like daemon process ) from another java process.
Eg;
Caller.java runs on one JVM instance, from this Caller.java i need to start a daemon java process ConnectionManager.java (My caller.java should have to know whether ConnectionManager was successfully started as a seperate java process or not)
Also Caller.java has to stop ConnectionManager.java(which is running as seperate process)
Any help would be appeciated.
Thank you very much.

First of all the design is unusual. Your issue is basically intercommunication between two processes written in java. There are various ways to do that:
1. Use Persistent system(File/Database) : Easiest but have external dependency.
2. Use RPC calls both JVM,s little bit complex.
3. Run new JVM in debug mode and connect on bootstrap port.
4. Communicate using Sockets.
Whatever suits you...

Unable to invoke a EJB from a BPEL process

I am unable to invoke a EJB from a BPEL process. Whenever I try to test it from the oracle EM, I get the below exception. I am using WebLogic 10.3.3, SOA suite 11.1.1.3 and JDev 11.1.1.3 .
This is what I see from the EM....

I haven't tried from a BPEL process, but I have had success (as in Lucas's blogs) of using services and references as EJB Java Interface. This is with EJB java interfaces solely of base types (i.e. String foo(String s)).
At high level here's what I have noted so far:
1. Per Lucas's blog, @javaInterface is not being added to the ejb.binding automatically but it's not clear to me when this is and is not required given that interface.java is specified for the reference or service. Would interface.java and @javaInterface ever be different? I've been adding @javaInterface manually anyways since Lucas is a smart guy and I'd rather avoid errors. :-)
2. Dropping an EJB interface jar in SCA-INF/lib works, but I've had the problem that the JDeveloper SOA Plugin doesn't see those classes until I stop and restart JDeveloper. Until then, I'm confronted with the java->wsdl mapping error. I was sort of primed to figure this one out since I ran into similar issues with SOA SpringBean components.
3. Dropping EJB interface source in SCA-INF/src is more reliable, because then I can build the project (i.e. create SCA-INF/classes) and the JDeveloper SOA Plugin seems to resolve these brand new classes immediately.
4. I've tried to invoke an EJB java-interface reference with a slightly complicated java interface (a class parameter with some fields, one of which is an array of another class). The auto-generated WSDL doesn't look exactly right to me (but I'm new to JAXB). Mediator maps to it just fine and the project compiles and deploys normally but fails at runtime. I have not researched in depth. It's not clear to me from the documentation and release notes whether I should expect for it to work, or whether I should expect to have to create my own JAXB mapping. If the latter, I really need a good example!

Error while invoking ESB process from a BPEL process

Hi all
We have a requirement to call an ESB process from a BPEL process. We are using an adapter wth the ESB's WSDL url. After deploying the BPEL process, the registered ESB is getting called for most values while suddenly some values return the followign error
*"exception on JaxRpc invoke: HTTP transport error: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: java.security.PrivilegedActionException: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: Message send failed: Connection reset"*
The catch here is, if we re-run the process with the same values again, the ESB is called successfully! How is it possible for a process to error out and run normally for the same inputs ?
What could be the possible fix for this? I am thankful for any inputs on this.
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
This is a bug and you can refer the metalink note:

Invoking ODI Scenario from a BPEL process - Resolved

I new to Oracle products.
I am exploring Oracle Data Integrator tool.
I would like to call ODI scenario from a BPEL process.
I created a scenario in ODI, I have SOA suite10.1.3.3 installed in my machine.
In some portal I have read that, we need to deploy apache axis to Oracle App server and then deploy the ODI public web service to axis. This public web service facilitates us to call scenario from partner link.
Following are my questions:
1) I guess Oracle App server acts as webservice container too. Why should I use apache axis here?
2)If axis must be used, please let me know how to deploy it to OAS.
If axis is not required, please guide me how to deploy public web service to OAS.
Thanks!!

Invoking an async process from an async process

I want to invoke an asynchronous process from an asynchronous process. My caller process has has a initiator task, a message throw and catch event while called process has a start catch message event and throw message as end event . If any one of you can provide a sample or reference, it will be of great help. I am have problem in configuring end throw message event .

Where exactly do you have problems. When you use the async template you do not really have to configure anything - just define your input / putput data. This blogpost here describes how you can call an async BPEL from an async BPMN process: Oracle-FMW: Calling Async BPEL process from BPM.

How to invoke an other BPM asynchronous process from the BPM process

Do anyone know how to invoke other asynchronous process from the BPM process without using the Web Service URL?

Try using a Service task implemented as a Process Call. Then you select the process you want to call, set the associations or transformation and deploy it to test.
I hope it works for you.

Communication Protocols while Calling a BPEL from another BPEL

Hi,
I was just curious to understand that what is the protocol that gets used when a BPEL WS is called from another BPEL using Partner Link ?
Is it SOAP over HTTP or some internal network call in the BPEL engine.
If someone can point to a detailed documentation for it, that would be helpful.
Thanks,
Saurabh

Hi Veejai24 and soa_adf,
Thanks for your replies. My question here was more to analyze if an internal call of BPEL to another BPEL takes the same amount of time as if a BPEL is called from any external application over HTTP. Or the BPEL Engine reduces this time while internal calls and optimizes the performance?
Thanks,
Saurabh

How to call a process from another project

Hi;
How to calling a process from another process in another project? Which activity that i need or web service, direct binding? I use 11g

Hi Tulasi ;
I have wsdl of the process i need to call. Also wsdl address on the server. But CALL activity can't use to service call. CALL activity can use only to reusable process call.
I think, this operation must make on composite.xml. But I have a same problem with this method and it don't work.
I create a base process that looking at below. It's include a direct binding. Is it include a direct binding?
[Base Process|http://d1201.hizliresim.com/t/s/21wqu.png]
Then i create a process that call to base process:
[Caller Process|http://d1201.hizliresim.com/t/s/21wqx.png]
I paste to base process' wsdl address on the server. Then i select port type (BaseProcessPortType) and a warning has occured that you see the picture above. Base Process contain Oracle SOA Composite Type. What's the wrong? It happened for Callback Port Type.
And second question is what's the Address? (under Reference Binding Setails option).
I think, i create the this direct binding correctly, i call to base process into my caller process via service activities.

Different ways to invoke a servlet from another servlets?

Hello,
I am a bit confused today. I was thinking about all the ways by which I can invoke a servlet from another servlets. I know it can be done by creating an instance of the 2nd servlet in the 1st one. Is there any other way? such as say.... RequestDispatcher perhaps?
Here is an example to illustrate my point. I have a login.jsp which submits to login.do. login.do search through database and first authenticate email and then the corresponding password. Now its time for displayGame.do. So here how do i do? if it was a displayGame.jsp then i could have used Redirection or Forward but when it is servlets? Can I still go for Redirection or Forward??
Thank you for reading this confused post. :-)

if it was a displayGame.jsp then i could have used Redirection or Forward but when it is servlets?Question: do you know what a JSP becomes when you first run it?
Answer: a servlet.
So yes, you can use a RequestDispatcher to forward/redirect to a servlet OR a JSP, whatever you like.

Invoke a presentation from another presentation

Hi everybody,
I need to invoke a presentation from another presentation, to generate an e-mail, like a popup. I would prefer not to use another task to do this. In the parent presentation i need a button Mail that invokes a presentation in which i would have some attributes from the parent presentation. Please your help.
Thanks
Eva
Edited by: Eva E on 22-jul-2009 11:06

Hi Eva,
Know there's a good reason for you not using a Screenflow for this, but I missed it somehow.
If you had a Screenflow, you could have a transition in the screenflow back to the original presentation and retain the information you entered/changed in the original presentation.
Thanks,
Dan
