IStore process flows, where?

Where can I found a complete documentation of all process flows in iStore? We need this in a project where the customer needs to customize some flows. Please note that I have found some flows in the iStore 11i Concepts and Procedures (August 2000) but the doc set is not complete.

Reg: SQL select Query in BPEL process flow


Hi,
I am suppose to execute a SQL select query (in BPEL Process flow) as mention below in JDeveloper using Database adapter.


SELECT LENGTH, WIDTH, HEIGHT, WEIGHT,


LENGTH*WIDTH* HEIGHT AS ITEM_CUBE


FROM CUBE


WHERE ITEM= <xyz>


AND OBJECT= (SELECT CASE_NAME FROM CUBE_SUPPLIER WHERE ITEM=<xyz> AND SUPP_IND = ‘Y')
Now my question is:
1. What does this "*" refer to in the query and how can I retrieve the value of LENGTH*WIDTH* HEIGHT from the query where LENGTH,WIDTH and HEIGHT are the individual field in the table.
2.What does this " AS" refer to? If " ITEM_CUBE " is the alies for the table name "ITEM" to retrieve the value, then query shoud be evaluated as


SELECT LENGTH, WIDTH, HEIGHT, WEIGHT,


LENGTH*WIDTH* HEIGHT AS ITEM_CUBE


FROM CUBE


WHERE ITEM_CUBE.ITEM= <xyz>


AND ITEM_CUBE.OBJECT= (SELECT CASE_NAME FROM CUBE_SUPPLIER WHERE ITEM=<xyz> AND SUPP_IND = ‘Y')
Is my assumption correct?
Please suggest asap.
Thanks...




Hi
Thank for your reply!
I have a nested select query which performs on two different table as shown below:

SELECT LENGTH, WIDTH, HEIGHT, WEIGHT,


LENGTH*WIDTH* HEIGHT AS ITEM_CUBE


FROM CUBE


WHERE ITEM= <abc>


AND OBJECT= (SELECT NAME FROM SUPPLIER WHERE ITEM=<Item> AND SUPP_IND = ‘Y')
I am using DB adapter of Oracle JDeveloper in BPEL process flow, where I can able to select only one master table in DB adapter say SUPPLIER and its attributes at a time.But as per my requirment I need to select both the table (CUBE and SUPPLIER) in a single adapter to execute my query.
It can be achievable by using two DB adapter , One to execute the nested query and another to execute the main qyery considering value of nested query as a parameter.But I want to achieve it by using a single one.
Am I correct with my concept?
Please suggest how to get it ?

Problems with setting up the wait in a process flow

Hi,
I have process flow where I need to use a wait function.
The value of minimum_delay is set to 30
literal = true
the value of until_date I've been trying to set to a appropriate date format that is consistent with the default in the database.
When doing this I get the error message ORA-01841: (full) year must be between -4713 and +9999, and not be 0
setting the value of until_date to null and literal still true gives me the error ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error. Setting the literal to false also gives me this error.
Does anyone know how I can set this up correctly? And if its possible, not use the until_date parameter.
any help is appreciated
regards,
Ragnar

Thanks for your replies:
I've tried running the Processflow with different parameters.
The processflow I am trying to run is in its own Module, with just one processflow, and the wait is the only activity in this.
Its a nice mix of english and norwegian in the error messages, but I'll try to translate as best I can.

Process Flow Check

Hi All,
Suppose I have a process flow where I have placed two mappings one after the other. Suppose my first mapping fails to load 5 out 50 records owing to some database constraint violation. Can I check this condition and stop the execution of the next mapping if the previous mapping fails to load some data due to database constraint violation?
If yes, then please let me know how it can be done??
regards
-Arnab

Hi Arnab,
You can use conditional connectors, with a success connector to your second mapping, a warning connector to a warning end, and an error connector to an error end.
If you want different action based on the type of error, this must be custom coded.
Using conditional connectors for complex requirements is messy, ie. the required number of operators will increase substantially (fortunately, linearly). A common complex scenario is where you have several execution brances, and failure in one branch should result in no further execution in that branch, but completion of all other branches, and finally reaching success end if no errors, error/warning end accordingly.

Integrating process flows

Hi All,
I had different projects in my OWB and each process has its process flow which has several mappings in it.
I want to integrate all of these process flows from different projects into a single process flow where I can either run two process flows parallel or one after another and should also be able to decide whether to continue or not if one process flow fails.
Can you please help me, Is it possible if not is their any work around for it.
Many Thanks,
Danish

For example, you have
Project P1
   Processflow module OWF1 with location name LOC_OWF1
   Processflow for this application P_PROJ1
Project P2
   Processflow module OWF2 with location name LOC_OWF2
   Processflow for this application P_PROJ2Under OWB (runtime) repository owner create procedure
create or replace procedure P_MASTER_PROCESS as
return_result1 NUMBER(10);
return_result2 NUMBER(10);
begin
return_result1 := WB_RT_API_EXEC.RUN_TASK(location=>'LOC_OWF1', task_type=>'PROCESSFLOW', task_name=>'P_PROJ1',
      system_params=>',', custom_params=>',', oem_friendly=>0, background=>0);
return_result2 := WB_RT_API_EXEC.RUN_TASK(location=>'LOC_OWF2', task_type=>'PROCESSFLOW', task_name=>'P_PROJ2',
      system_params=>',', custom_params=>',', oem_friendly=>0, background=>0);

Error validating process flow VLD-10010 after upgrade from 9i to 11gR2

Upgraded OWB from 9i to 11g, and after upgrade all the process flows where throwing the below error while validating
VLD-10010: DIM_COUNTRY_UI's bound object DIM_COUNTRY_UI of type PLSQL Map has been deleted.
After synchronizing the mapping to itself, this error goes off, but synchroinzing in GUI for more than 300 mapping is huge task.
Anyway to sychronizing in bulk in OMBPlus?
Thank for help

Where is a process flow's Execution details - Log section stored ?

Hi,
We're using OWB 11.2.0.1.7.
I want to know where in the database the Execution Details for a process flow is stored.
When i run a process flow with a Java Activity, or a User Defined Activity, and it halts with an Error i can inspect what went wrong in the process flow by opening the job in the Control Center client.
I doubleclick on the name of the job in the Control Center, the Job Details window opens.
I click on the first node, that is the name of the Job(process flow).
Then you click on the blue I aka 'Display Details'.
That window has a tab called Log.
The Log tab shows information that Java/Userdefined activity returns.
(In my case return info from a javabased xmlparser, or exitinfo from a shell command.)
This is the only place where i can find this info unfortunately.
I want to know where this info is stored in the database. I tried the runtime audit vews such as:
select e.*, m.*, l.*
from owbsys.wb_rtv_audit_executions e
LEFT JOIN owbsys.wb_rtv_audit_messages m ON e.audit_execution_id = m.audit_execution_id
LEFT JOIN owbsys.wb_rtv_audit_message_lines l ON l.audit_message_id = m.audit_message_id
left join owbsys.wb_rtv_audit_message_params p on p.audit_message_line_id = l.audit_message_line_id
But although i can see my processflow i can not find the Log information here.
Can someone tell me where this info is stored ?
Edited by: MichaelR64 on 6-apr-2011 14:01

Hi Michael
The standard output and error streams for the Java activities are stored in
-> ALL_RT_AUDIT_EXEC_FILES
Is this what you are after?
You can see the doc for it in the runtime public views section;
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/owb.112/e10584/api_2runviews.htm#i707034
The FILE_TYPE column will be set ot JavaErrorStream for example, with the information that was written to the Java std error stream, and JavaOutputStream will have the Java std output stream. This same technique is used for other activities - SQLPlus, SQLLoader, FTP.
Cheers
David

To check whether a process flow is valid or not

Hi,
I want to check whether a OWB process flow is valid or not inside a PL/SQL block. Can anyone let me know about any repository table or view where I can check the process flow status.
Regards,
Poulose

Use display schedule job option from the context menu of the start variant of the process chain.
When u chick this.. u will get the available job on this start process.. There u can see whether the process chain in schedule mode or not?
If u can see multiple schedule then u can delete the older ones which are not needed and then u can maintain only one schedule job.
If u click twice.. then there are chances that u might end up with the 2 schedule job with the same time frame.. .. so check the same with the steps mentioned..... if u find two jobs then u need to delete one.. if not there might be chance that ur PC might get trigger twice.. and one trigger will gets failed. and the other one will gets executed..
Thanks
I hope this is clear to u..
Assign points if this helps

Experts VS Process Flows on OWB 10g Release 2 (Paris)

I was looking at the the new features list for OWB 10g Release 2 (Paris), and I notices the new feature called Experts. Does anyone have any insight into when an Expert would be used instead of a Process Flow? It doesn't look like Process Flows are going away, so I was trying to get a grasp of the use for Experts.
From Here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/htdocs/owb10gr2%20new%20features.htm
Experts. Experts are solutions that enable advanced users to design solutions that simplify routine or complex tasks that end users perform in Warehouse Builder. You can design these solutions in the Expert Editor which resembles the Process Flow Editor and shares many of the same commands and navigational tools.

Hi,
Just to start with the Experts capabilities, they can be used for designing schema objects.......I tried with an expert for sampling the source files, creating External Tables on top of it....validating and deploying..........itz very interesting to work with.........I am unable to see the practical use of this for end users.....
where as we all know, the PF can only be for executing the deployed objects.....

What am I missing something here?
Is my Parameters correct?
GIve me the link where I can find more on using External process.
Please...please...help me..
Shree

Nikolai,
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: /edwftp/ppas/scripts/ClearPPAS.sh
PARAMETER_LIST:
SUCCESS_THRESHOLD: 0
SCRIPT:
2.I placed the bash command in the command parameter and the full path in the script parameter.
COMMAND: /usr/bin/sh
PARAMETER_LIST:
SUCCESS_THRESHOLD: 0
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.
Starting Execution EXTER_FILE
Starting Task EXTER_FILE

Error Deploying a Process Flow

Hi All,
Each time I try to deploy a process flow I created, I get the error "ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor". The Oracle workflow engine is on a separate machine and all connection parameters are correct. A tnsping of the workflow server works as required and I can even connect to the server (sql prompt) from the command prompt.
Also, I will appreciate any direction to a site where the steps of creating a process flow is detailed.
Cheers!!!

Have you installed the workflow server into the database?
Have you configured the workflow with the configuration assistant?
Have you linked the workflow in the design center?
Is the workflow packaged configured with the location?
!!! Note for Oracle Workflow 2.6.4:
When you run the Workflow Configuration Assistant, you need to specify the database connect string in the TNS Connect Descriptor box.
Enter the following values:
Accept the default for Install Option
Workflow Account: (Accept the default ) owf_mgr
Workflow Password: owf_mgr
Password : <Enter the SYS account password>
TNS Connect Descriptor: localhost:1521:orcl
Click Submit.

What is the best practice to display info of completed task in process flow

Hi all,
I'm starting to study BPM modeling with CE7.1 EHP1. Thanks to the tutorial and example on SDN site and I can easily build my own process in NWDS and deploy to server, start it, finish it.
I like the new runtime which can show a BPMN diagram to the processors. However, I can't find a way to let the follow up processor to review the task result completed in previous step. I'm more familiar with Guided Procedure, and know there is "Display Callable Object" which can used to show some info of a completed task when the processor/owner/admin/overseer click on a completed task. Where is the feature in BPM ? What is the best practice to show such task information in BPM environment.
For example, A multiple level approval process, the higher level approver need to know the comment written by the previous approver. Can he read this information from process flow ?
I think it is very important feature for a BPM platform. In Guided Procedure, such requirement can be done with Display Callable Object + View Permission, and you just need some coding for the UI. If BPM is superior to GP, I think there must be a way to achieve this, I just do not know how ?
Can anyone shed me some light on it ?

Oliver,
Thanks for your quick reply.
Yes, Notes and Attachment CAN BE USED for the purpose. But I'm still looking for a more elegant solution.
With the solution of using Notes/Attachment, the processor need to give input at two places : the task UI and Note/Attach , with similar or same data. It is really annoying.
Is there any SAP BPM real-world deployment ? None of customer has the requirement ?

Process flows without Oracle Workflow?

I am using OWB 10.2, running with a 10.2 database. I want to create a new workflow module, package, and flow, and execute it the process flow using the OWB scheduler. The documentation implies that this configuration is possible, but when I create the workflow module it wants an Oracle Workflow connection for the location. I get the feeling that I'm overlooking something basic in the documentation.
QUESTION:
1) Is Oracle Workflow REQUIRED to create, deploy, and execute a process flow?

Hi,
Oracle Workflow is required for deploying processflow.
Where did you read in documentation about possibilities of running processflows without OWF? OWB instalation guide tells:
"If you plan to use Warehouse Builder process flows, you need to install Oracle Workflow to enable deployment."
Regards,
Oleg

OWB 10gR2 map returning status = Complete and Result = Null in Process Flow

Hi,
I have an OWB process flow which invokes an OWB map. There are 2 outgoing transitions attached to the OWB map. 1st transition is a conditinal one (on SUCCESS) and the 2nd one is unconditional transition.
I am monitoring the status of process flow execution in Oracle Workflow monitor. After the process flow is initiated, sometimes the OWB map within shows status = complete and result = OK in workflow monitor (in tab - status). But sometimes it shows status = Complete and Result = Null. In this situation the execution is following the unconditional transition path.
Can anyone tell me what causes the OWB map to return a Result = NULL? Also sometimes I am getting the map returning a Result = Force (with the same status = Complete).
The configuration that I am working with is as below ---
OWB client version : 10.2.0.1.31
OWB repository version : 10.2.0.1.0
Oracle Workflow Version : 2.6.4.0.0
Database version : 10g Enterprise edition release 10.2.0.1.0

Hi Manohar,
1. You need to install Oracle HTTP server in a separate Oracle home.
2.Look for the dads.conf file in the installation. Edit the file, copy the sample code and paste it below and edit the pasted part as under ----
<Location /pls/<SID>>
SetHandler pls_handler
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
AllowOverride None
PlsqlDatabaseConnectString <server name>:<port>:<SID >
PlsqlAuthenticationMode Basic
PlsqlDefaultPage wfa_html.home
PlsqlNLSLanguage "AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1"
</Location>
3. STOP and START OPMN (Oracle Process Manager & Notification Server)
4. Use the URL in your internet browser like --- <HTTP server URL>/pls/<SID>/wfa_html.home
5. When prompted for user id and password, give the schema user id and password where the workflow engine is installed.
Hope this helps,
Swagata
