Is Workflow Engine bounce needed?

Hi Experts,
Do we need to do a Workflow Engine bounce if we are changing a pl/sql package which is associated as a function for a particular workflow node?
In other words, when do we need to do Workflow bounce at all? Is it only required if we are changing the wft?
Thanks In Advance.

Hi;
I belive yes you need it.

Need of "Workflow Engine" and "Worklist" in a transaction STMS

can you please tell me what is the need of "Workflow Engine" and "Worklist" in a transaction STMS

Workflow is an extra tool/feature which if you configure, will help you to move the appropiate transports to your QAS(Quality ) Sytem from DEV system. Not all the Transport. This way you can make sure that your some dangerous Transports dont get moved.
Like if you configure it, anyone who makes a transport in DEV wont be move the transport to QAS, because it provides a fature called QA Approval, that means only if the Transport is approved by the appropiate person ( that also you can configure) only then it can be moved to QAS, otherwise not.
Reward points if useful!
Cheers!

Output post processors and workflow engines doesn't come up after cloning

We are suffering from an “empty entropy pool” within the JDBC driver. Basically, the driver will attempt to gather a random number from the pool, but if the pool is empty the driver will wait (sometimes indefinitely) for values to come in. In most installations, the default configuration has the pool being “filled” by numbers created through a user interface such as mouse movements. On our servers, we are typically in a “headless” configuration so the pool may not be replenished properly. I’m not sure why we are seeing this new issue, but since the random number generator is related to security, maybe a security enhancement from the OS upgrade has made this more sensitive.
Note that QA4 is “mostly” up and running. The concurrent managers are started on both wpsun144 and wpsun154, but the output post processors and workflow engines are still having issues
The ultimate solution is to add some form of “entropy gathering daemon” to keep the pool filled, but we will need the Unix Admin team’s help and some research to find the best solution. Apparently, in Solaris 10, there is a kernel-level “cryptographic framework” for adding/removing entropy sources.
The workaround is to add a java option to the java command line. For Solaris this seems to work: “-Djava.security.egd=file:///dev/urandom”. This is NOT a reasonable solution since this requires modifying multiple delivered scripts/templates. I made the following changes only on wpsun144.
First, for the context file I had to modify the “s_adjreopts” variable to add the above workaround (per doc 1066312.1).
For adgentns this was fixed by modifying the $AU_TOP/perl/ADX/util/Java.pm file and adding the option. Here are the new lines in the file:
if($javaCmd =~ /jre/) {
return ("-mx256m -Djava.security.egd=file:///dev/urandom", 0);
} else {
return ("-Xmx512M -Djava.security.egd=file:///dev/urandom",0);
After this change, adgentns completed successfully and both the “tnanames.ora” and “listener.ora” files were created in the $TNS_ADMIN location.
For adgendbc, I had to manually modify the template for the script (there are 10 java command lines in the file).

Best "workflow" for bouncing instruments to audioclips

What would be the best "workflow" to bounce an audio instrument sequence/region to an audio clip, but retaining the same inserts, sends, automation for the audio as I have on the audio instrument track?
I'm trying to find a good alternative to freeze-function. Freeze is a bit too limiting for me, as you cannot move clips after freezing. I sort of just want to convert the audio instrument midi regions to audio and continue arranging the song, doing automation etc. I mostly work with loop based music.
So.. now when bouncing an audio instrument region, I need to
- start from arrange
- turn off all inserts and sends for the instrument
- do a bounce
- open audio window
- drag audio clip to a new track
- goto environment (or audio config?)
- copy all inserts to new track
- build same sends manually
- goto arrange
- copy all the automation from other track
Now that's a lot of work. Is there any better way to do this?

bit hard to follow there justin.
i've been wanting a good way to do this as well. because, eg, i was doing a fiolm that used a lot of guitar and a lot effects on the guitar. i had an audio inst for the mockups, and then i wanted to replace the mockup guitar for the audio after it was recorded. there is no really convenient way of doing this i have found. even saving the channel strip setting didn't not work from audio inst to audio track. obviously i got there, but it took a lot of hair-tearing and brain work.
I had a real crack at this rami and couldn't find a nifty way of doing it - which is unusual for logic. maybe someone knows something we don't?

Workflow engine VS Business process engine

Hi guys,
Need some information about the BPE of PI CCBPM and workflow engine of SAP business workflows, are they same ?
Regards
chandrakanth.k

Hi Chandra,
No need of external workflow engine,BPE engine will act as a work flow engine,any way it is available in ABAP Stack.
ccBPM concept is combination of BPM and Work flow concept, to run ccBPM scenarios we required BPE engine,it is come up with ABAP Stack,i think you know about this.
But we are using some features from SAP work .

Can the workflow engine of APEX be opened to commom users?

I guess the APEX must have it's own workflow engine to make APEX working correctly. Can the team consider to make it open? In some applications we need to use workflow(not very complicated), so a simple set of workflow API should be very helpful. The Oracle databaseworkflow need licenses fees and is too huge for simple applications.

Not sure what you mean. AFAIK Apex doesn't have any "workflow engine" hidden somewhere.

Transport workflow engine

Hello SAP Gurus,
We are new to this transport workflow automation process. We are currently testing this in sandbox (S00).
S00 has multiple clients. Each client represents one country (example - client 200 represents Belgium,
201 represents France, 202 represents Mexico, 250 represents USA etc).
Each client have different Developers/functionals/infosecs/users.
As only one Workflow engine can be defined per instance(S00)/client (250) under STMS --> systems overview -->transport domain --> workflow engine tab we have below issues.
Users from other countries cannot able to approve/reject/import their transport proposals - reason being
their user id is not created in 250.
Is there any options to create seperate workflow engine per client? or how can we do this for other countries without enabling CUA or maintaining all users at one client(workflow engine client).
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated,
thanks & best regards,
Kannappan.S

Hi Kannappan
You need to this way. Even i follow the same way. Here 200 and 400 clients are customizing clients. I will develope workflows in 300 client after developing i will transport the workflow from 300 to 400 then from 400 only i can transport to quality and to production.
You can also do the same way. From differents clients move to 250 from 250 you can transport to quality and to production. No need to move any users.
To move the transport request from different client to 250 do this way. go to 250 client and opent the transport fron SE01 and double click on the partent request id and do a small change in the description and save it. This will do the transport from different client to 250.

Downloading oracle workflow engine

Hi there;
Does any bodyknow where I could download the oracle workflow engine from?
Thanks in that

I have procured Workflow as a standalone product. Comes with a Client and Server Cartridge. The DBA can help install it for you. But it seems like it needs other things to work. We still have some issues that need to be fixed.

What is workflow engine?

Friends,
Could you please throw some ideas about what is workflow engine?
and how it's relates to ATG scenarios.
Thanks in advance

Workflow is a way of automating business processes, like publishing in ATG CA is based on workflow. Using workflow makes it very easy to adjust to business process changes without the need of any coding. Refer Personalization Programming Guide and Personalization Guide for Business Users for details.
Scenarios and Workflow in ATG are based on the same framework often called as ATG process engine

OWB Process/Workflow in third party Workflow engines

Have any of you had experience using the XPDL file generated by the Process flow component of OWB to execute the Workflow in non-oracle Commercial and/or Open source Workflow engines?
If so I'd like to hear about it. I'm attempting to do the same and think that the Oracle Workflow component is too much work.
I appreciate your responses.

Hi,
Any update on it.

Facing problem in integrating my custom jsp with the workflow engine

Hi,
I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.6.0 for BPM 11g implementation on my Application.I have Weblogic Server 10.3 Installed and configured the domain. Also the server is up and running.
I am trying to create workflow and wants to integrate it with my custom jsp but i am facing problem in integrating my custom jsp with the workflow engine.Can you please answer the following questions:
1)how to link BPM human task with my custom jsp (Requester jsp).
2)how my custom jsp data(Requester data) will be stored in workflow engine and how the same data will be visible to the next custom jsp(Reviewer jsp).
This is urgent .Any early reply will be great help.
Thanks in advance.

you forgot to add the usage dependency in the DC metadata section in your DC, you have to add the XSS~utils and fpm as a used DC's as part of your DC, try to add those, if you already done that, so check where missed the adding of used webdynpro components in any of the VAC's or FC's,

Is the XI Business Process Engine similar to R/3 Workflow Engine ?

Is the XI Business Process Engine related to the SAP R/3 workflow engine ? I can see similar terminology like Container operation between the two workflow depictions.
-Manish

Hi Manish,
the BPM engine is exactly the Workflow engine included in the WAS installation of XI.
You can see that a BPM saved and activated generate a workflow template (don't touch it!).
You'll discover that the monitors of BPM are the tipical transaction of SAP workflow.

Workflow engine with portal

Hi,
We are planning to implement Oracle workflow for Portal forms. I uderstand that workflow engine is inbuilt for all Oracle Apps (Financials, HRMS etc).
How do I check if Oracle workflow is installed for Oracle 10g AS.
If any one has implemented Oracle portal with workflow, please refer me some links/documentation that will help me understand how to configure oracle workflow to work with custom forms built on Oracle portal.
Thanks,

AWE (Approval Workflow Engine) Question

I'm trying to implement AWE (Approval Workflow Engine) and am having a bit of a problem.
I've been following the instructions on the Red Paper document concerning implementing AWE. I have the following code. When this code fires the cross reference table is populated. However the PSWORKFLOW table does not get populated. The orinator does have a supervisor selected in the Workflow tab of his user profile. But nothing gets routed to the user for approval. Like I said the PSWORKLIST record does not get populated when this code fires. I'm trying to follow the code from EProcurment but am wondering if it's a coding or configuration issue. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
&reqRecord = CreateRecord(Record.CUS_VCHR_AW_VW);
GetLevel0()(1).GetRecord(Record.VOUCHER).CopyFieldsTo(&reqRecord);
&launchMgr = create PTAF_CORE:LaunchManager("VOUCHER", &reqRecord, "");
&launchMgr.requester = "TEST";
/* &launchMgr.appDef.trace_flag = True; */
&launchMgr.SetHeader(&reqRecord);
&launchMgr.DoSubmit();

I am also trying to code for Voucher approval workflow. The worklist is not getting populated and I am getting an error on the following code:
If &sac_aw_ref_launch_mgr.hasAppDef = True Then.
I have the process definition setup.
My code is as follows:
SavePostChange (Component)
Function KickoffAW()
If &sac_aw_ref_launch_mgr.hasAppDef = True Then
/* Update the requester, if necessary */
If &sac_aw_ref_launch_mgr.requester <> VOUCHER.OPRID Then
&sac_aw_ref_launch_mgr.requester = VOUCHER.OPRID
End-If;
&sac_aw_ref_launch_mgr.appInst.Save();
&vchRecord = CreateRecord(Record.BC_VCHR_AW_VW);
GetLevel0()(1).GetRecord(Record.VOUCHER).CopyFieldsTo(&vchRecord);
&sac_aw_ref_launch_mgr.SetHeader(&vchRecord);
If (&sac_aw_ref_launch_mgr.submitEnabled) Then
&sac_aw_ref_launch_mgr.DoSubmit();
End-If;
End-If;
End-Function;

rem &REC1 = GetLevel0().GetRow(CurrentRowNumber()).GetRecord(Record.VOUCHER);
&awprcs_id = "BC_VOUCHER"; /* The transcation definition setup */
/* Initialize the approval manager */
&sac_aw_ref_launch_mgr = create PTAF_CORE:LaunchManager(&awprcs_id, &REC1, VOUCHER.OPRID);
