IStudio and Workflow Builder

Hi there,
I am running 9iASR2 v9.0.3.1, 9i database v9.2.0.4 and
iStudio 9iASR2.
Am unable to "edit workflow configuration" from iStudio,
nothing happens, when I chose this option.
The problem I have is that the workflow is database A and the OAI repository is on database B and be default iStudio is assigning workflow repository to be database B 9 (same as for OAI) but this not what I need or want?
Is there something wrong in what I am trying to do?
Also, what steps, I need to take if I need to move the workflow and warehouse repository over from database A to database B?

Hi,
Workflow and AME are very different products/technologies so, hard to compare them. I will try to explain only in SSHR perspective.
1. If you want to change the pages in a flow, say Hire or Transfer or such, user workflow to move pages around and/or move pages.
2. If you want to change the approvals setup for any transactions, then use AME.
AME is only used for approvals. However, Workflow has varied used and can be used for page flow control, notifications and alerts, approvals and more. AME internally uses the workflow (name specified in the AME transaction) to send notifications and record reponses.
Hope that helps.

Do Oracle Designer and Worklfow Builder "talk"?

Is anyone aware of any form of integration between Oracle Designer and Workflow Builder? I am specifically curious about storing workflow processes in Designer Repository and whether or not Designer process flows can be used as a starting point for workflow processes.
Thanks for any help or information.
Martin

You can clarify this with the Designer team, but I understand that you could store your Workflow definition files (.wfts) in the Designer Repository as 'generic files' but this would mean that they are not actually recognised by Designer as Workflow definitions.
I also understand that there are plans for integration between Workflow and Oracle JDeveloper in the future.

Diff: Version on workflow builder and Maintain Active Plan version on SWU3

Group,
Can any one help me to understand the Version on workflow builder and Maintain Active Plan version on SWU3
Thanks in advance !
Richard A

Dear Richard Antony,
The Versioning in the Workflow is very important its some what simmilar to the version on any SAP Objets like Tables, Program etc.
Here Suppose any change comes in working workflow, then in stead of directly change them you can create a version of them and them modify it. So that you can reverst back to that version if required.
Like wise there is lots of importance of versioning Workflow.
The Active Plan version is also important to establish at SWU3. As all the Workflow is using Organization management which is very depended on the Active Plan version. so based on which Plan version you want to use you can Provide in SWU3 to tell Workflow system to use this.
Hope this will give you a clear picture.

Chandrashekhar.

Oracle Workflow Builder and Oracle 9i

The Oracle 9i Client CD does not include the Workflow Builder and MAPI Mailer, however the Oracle 9i Server CD NT does under the Client Component option.
Customers on other platforms need access to the builder, so patch 2053572 has been released to remedy this situation.
Customers should not install any other version of the Oracle Workflow Builder into a 9i Oracle Home. Previous releases of the Workflow require and 8i Oracle Home.
See Metalink Note 161304.1 for more details.

Got around the error by not running the installer (setup.exe) that came with the workflow code tree. I ran my Oracle Installer and pointed it at the appropriate place in the workflow code tree, and that worked. The Net8 Config Assistant setup process didn't complete, but I just copied my 9i tnsnames.ora file into the workflow network\admin directory and everything worked fine.

601 SAP Business Workflow - Build and Use

Hello,
I am working in ABAP for last 6-7 years. Due to project need planinng to take BIT 601 SAP Business Workflow - Build and Use class.
Please suggest if this class is good to get started in SAP workflow. Pre-requisite for this class is BIT 600. I am not taking that class. Can I do self study and pick it up?
Please suggest how I can get ready for workflow.
Thanks,
AP

Hi,
Org structure needs to be setup by HR, but you can set up org structure yourself. Its not a big deal. 601 will go thorough this process. Also you can have workflows without org structure.
Go through this link
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70b074ac-fa1b-2a10-1587-bd084347fc56
On help.sap.com, there is a demo for an absence request workflow. If you go through them, it should give you an idea of all the basic tcodes including the creation of a HR org structure, workflow build etc.

Workflow Builder and TOAD using Wine

Hi all...
Has anyone managed to get wine to run workflow builder on linux.. Also how about TOAD???
Any advice very much appreciated!!!!
I have dual boot XP and RH9 (2.6)
Cheers
Chris

This is because Workflow uses the NLS_LANG variable to handle translated versions of workflow processes. The translated versions are stored separately in the database, and when you save a process definition from the Builder to the database, the NLS_LANG setting is used to determine which version to update.

OAI and Workflow - Setting Attributes to use in Notifications

Does anyone know how I go about getting at attributes in a message that goes through the Workflow Adapter?
What I am trying to do is to create a notification, which is more meaningful by adding some of the details I've passed through in the PARAMETER_LIST attributes of the Workflow message.
Any ideas?
Ian

Kavitha,
I've managed to do it, but using a simpler method (I think).
In iStudio
My Common View contains the attributes as follows:-
EMPLOYEE_NUMBER (String)
START_DATE (Date)
LAST_NAME (String) and
FIRST_NAME (String)
My subscribing Workflow Event maps these Common View values into the PARAMETER_LIST array in the Workflow message. The mappings are as follows:-
PARAMETER_LIST[v1].NAME=SetConstant (EMPLOYEE_NUMBER, "EMPLOYEE_NUMBER")
PARAMETER_LIST[v1].VALUE=CopyFields (EMPLOYEE_NUMBER)
PARAMETER_LIST[v2].NAME=SetConstant (START_DATE, "START_DATE")
PARAMETER_LIST[v2].VALUE=CopyFields (START_DATE)
PARAMETER_LIST[v3].NAME=SetConstant (LAST_NAME, "LAST_NAME")
PARAMETER_LIST[v3].VALUE=CopyFields (LAST_NAME)
PARAMETER_LIST[v4].NAME=SetConstant (FIRST_NAME, "FIRST_NAME")
PARAMETER_LIST[v4].VALUE=CopyFields (FIRST_NAME)
I also created the publishing Workflow Event. To get the values out of the PARAMETER_LIST array, I simply used the 'TrueConditionalCopy' transformation. For example,
EMPLOYEE_NUMBER=TrueConditionalCopy (PARAMETER_LIST[v1].NAME, PARAMETER_LIST[v1].VALUE, "EMPLOYEE_NUMBER")
In Workflow Builder
I created 4 additional ATTRIBUTES in the Workflow:-
EMPLOYEE_NUMBER_ATT (Type - Text)
START_DATE_ATT (Type - Text)
LAST_NAME_ATT (Type - Text) and
FIRST_NAME_ATT (Type - Text)
I then created my MESSAGE (Called 'Approve Update Employee'). I added 4 new MESSAGE ATTRIBUTES to this message:-
EMPLOYEE_NUMBER (Type - Text, Default Type - Item Attribute, Value - EMPLOYEE_NUMBER_ATT)
START_DATE (Type - Text, Default Type - Item Attribute, Value - START_DATE_ATT)
LAST_NAME (Type - Text, Default Type - Item Attribute, Value - LAST_NAME_ATT)
FIRST_NAME (Type - Text, Default Type - Item Attribute, Value - FIRST_NAME_ATT)
In the Message Body I used the '&EMPLOYEE_NUMBER' notation to bring back the values into the message when the Workflow runs. For example, "This message has been created to tell you that Employee &EMPLOYEE_NUMBER has changed some details. Details are First Name is &FIRST_NAME, Last Name is &LAST_NAME and their start date is &START_DATE. Please Approve or Reject this change by using the buttons below."
In the Workflow Diagram
After the START node (Subscribe Maintain_Employees.Update_Employees) I added a series (4 in all) of "Get Event Property" Standard Workflow functions (GETEVENTPROPERTY) in order to find out the values from my parameter list.
As an example, here is the one I did to get the Employee Number.
In the 'Node Attributes' tag (when you double-click on the "Get Event Property") set the values as follows:-
Name = Event, Type = Item Attribute, Value = OAI Message
Name = Property, Type = Constant, Value = Event Parameter
Name = Event Parameter, Type = Constant, Value = EMPLOYEE_NUMBER
Name = Item Attribute, Type = Constant, Value = EMPLOYEE_NUMBER_ATT
(Note that the 'Event Parameter' is the name you set it to when you did the SetConstant mapping i.e. EMPLOYEE_NUMBER. The 'Item Attribute' is the target ATTRIBUTE that the result of calling the GETEVENTPROPERTY will be put.)
I finished off the Workflow by creating a NOTIFICATION called 'Update Employee Notification' which uses the 'Approve Update Employee' message, and added the Result Type of 'Approval'.
If the message is APPROVED, then the workflow calls the Publish Event (END node type), if REJECTED then the Workflow goes to an END node (and not processed any further).
My Workflow looks like this.
START (Subscribe Maintain_Employees.Update_Employees)
GETEVENTPROPERTY (to get EMPLOYEE_NUMBER_ATT value)
GETEVENTPROPERTY (to get START_DATE_ATT value)
GETEVENTPROPERTY (to get LAST_NAME_ATT value)
GETEVENTPROPERTY (to get FIRST_NAME_ATT value)
Update Employee Notification --> REJECTED --> END
APPROVED
END (Publish Maintain_Employees.Update_Employee)
I'm not sure whether this is a good approach or not. The biggest upside is that I didn't have to do any additional coding. I only used standard OAI and Workflow functionality.
Thanks again for your help.

Upgrade from 11i to R12 - Custom Forms,Reports and Workflows

Dear Community Friends,
We are planning for upgrade from oracle apps 11.5.10.2 to R12.
We have custom Forms,Form Libraries,Reports and Workflows.
Kindly provide me for approach on how to migrate Custom form libraries,reports and Workflows.
I beleive, this thread will exists as one shot point for custom forms,reports,workflow upgradation from 11i to r12 with detailed steps.
I know that many links exists here in the forum for all the above objects mentioned,but still from all those i am able to get a clear picture for oracle forms but not for custom form libraries ,reports and workflows.
Also,this post will provide a low level,practical picture of the steps for those who are in line with this.
Links i have read for all these in our forum are:
For Custom Forms,
Re: Planning to upgrade from 11i to R12
Re: Custom forms: After upgrading 11i to R12
ofcourse,'n' number of links exists providing metalink notes also.
Hussain,Helios and some others also has given many updates regd this.
For custom workflow upgradation,
Upgrade Workflow 11i to R12
Workflow Upgrade
Workflow Upgrade
For reports,links mentioned the below metalink notes:
Do Not Compile EBS R12 Reports Using rwconverter.sh or Reports Builder from IDS 10gR2 [ID 786794.1]
Using the OracleAS 10.1.2 Forms and Reports Builders with Oracle Applications Release 12 [ID 444248.1]
Per my understanding, after searching in many threads,i am here by summarising the practical low level steps for custom forms migration
Please correct me,if i am wrong.
1) Download the Forms(.fmb's) and all PLL's(all the PLL from resource folder in AU_TOP) into a Local Machine Folder
2) Open the forms using Forms Developer 10G and connect to DB
3) Compile by clicking compilein Forms Developer and then save it.
4) Upload the Saved Forms(.fmb's) into the new R12 server(system) in the respective custom paths(paths similar to 11i Server)
5) Compile all the forms using the command like below(example command is shown below or f60 gen commands or frmcmp.sh utility) in the respective custom form paths,
this will generate the .fmx's.
frmcmp_batch module=FORMNAME.fmb userid=apps/apps output_file=FORMNAME.fmx compile_all=yes
Link for compiling forms: https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/ui/km/SearchDocDisplay.jspx?_afrLoop=359210362972527&type=DOCUMENT&id=1085928.1&displayIndex=3&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=c348xvwbg_98
6) Open the form and check in R12 instance
As per my understanding for custom form libraries,we can just copy paste the PLL's from 11i server to R12 server (Please correct me,if i am wrong)
Can anyone please help me out in custom reports and custom workflows.Sorry that,i could not get a practical and clear picture for reports and also for workflow even after referring many threads and metalink notes mentioned.
As for reports,some says that Developer Suite 10g can be used and .rdf can be used in R12.
Some says that reports should be converted to XML published as reports does not exists in R12.
So,i am not clear on this.

So,i am not clear on this.You can still use RDF files in R12, and just follow the approach you mentioned above, and you do not have to migrate them to XML publisher (though it is recommended, but this can be done after the upgrade as an enhancement task).
For custom workflow, you need also to do the same thing, open them using workflow builder and make sure they work in R12 (correct the code if required and save them again in R12 once they work properly).

Error while connecting to workflow builder after installation...first time!

Hi,
I have installed Oracle Workflow Builder 2.6.3 recently on my system and after installation, when I am trying to connect the workflow builder (using database username/password of that particular instance), it is throwing me the following error:
220: Unable to set NLS_LANGUAGE.
210: Oracle Error: ORA-01403: no data found

where parameter='NLS_CHARACTERSET';
returns the value other then WE8ISO8859P1 then that is what I should change my NLS_LANG entry for the builder - i.e. AMERICAN_AMERICA.<character set>.
But I am not getting where should I change NLS_LANG, it is located where...some file? I am new to Workflow.
Please help me. I tried a lot. Any type of help will be highly appreciated.

Customized notification message template in Workflow Builder for iExpense

Hi Gurus!
I have a few requirements to change the notification format of the AME Expense Report Approval Message and one of which is to add a due date of the notification in the subject line of the email. So i have created a new message template, added in some attributes and point the notification to it. It works but in the email body it is missing some sections like the instruction text and the Previously Submitted Expenses section. The new message template has all attributes from the old message template so i'm expecting it to behave exactly the same.
We're on Oracle r12 and i use Oracle Workflow Builder 2.6.3.5.
Can you please help?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Patricia,
For
'358: Activity result code 'RESET' has no transition defined for it. All valid result codes must be modeled with specific transitions or a <Default> transition.',
you may have a function step defined in your workflow which could have a result type like 'Yes/No' but you may have defined the next step for the result type 'Yes' but not for 'No'. so you have to complete the flow for all of the result type of that function step.
for,
'383: Notification activity must be assigned a performer when used in a process.'
Open up the properties dialog of the notification in your process and click on the 'Node' tab, there at then end you can find a property called 'Performer' assign the following,
Type->Item Attribute
Value->Send to Role (or) Send to Email.
I guess this is a late response, but i just fixed these problem for my workflow and hence found your query !!

Need Advice: Managing dev/prod servers and workflow.

Hello, thanks for your help.
I am currently running coldfusion dev server on my local machine, I use dreamweaver cs3 for coding/ftp, and have a shared hosting account with crystaltech. I want to create a local test environment that runs on my coldfusion test server, nd be able to push those files to a live web address preferably with a dev.sitename.com extension.
In dreamweaver I have a site called "sitename1". I have created a "testing server" with the local root of \coldfusion9\wwwroot\sitename1, my "Local Info" root folder is off my C:\\websites\sitename1\, and my remote folder is the \test\ folder off my TLD.. so www.sitename1.com\test\.
I can't seem to keep the files from the local testing server and my local info straight. When I'm working in the local testing server and open a file I get "would you like to overwrite your local version of this file?".. Also not all the files in the local testing environment we in the local info folder.
What's the best way to work in a dev environment where you have a testing server, local files and a shared host? How do I set up dreamweaver for best workflow and file management?
Thanks for your help.

I have no longer used Dreamweaver for some years now. I prefer Eclipse and ColdFusion Builder. However, some of the issues you mention are of a general nature, and apply to every developer, irrespective of the tool he uses.
It is vital to keep the files of your site and test site separate. In fact, I expected you to have partitioned the directories like this:
sitename1: c:\coldfusion9\wwwroot\sitename1\
Domain: www.sitename1.com
test_site: c:\coldfusion9\wwwroot\sitename1\test\
Domain: www.sitename1.com/test
Perhaps the most important aspect of separating the 2 sites is to give each its own Application.cfc file. The application file for the site will be in the directory c:\coldfusion9\wwwroot\sitename1\ and will contain the code this.name="sitename1"; to name the application. The application file for the test site will be in the directory c:\coldfusion9\wwwroot\sitename1\test and will contain the code this.name="test";.
You should not aim to synchronize the files of your site with those of your test site. Such synchronization will defeat the purpose of testing. You test because there are faults. If there is an open door between the test environment and your site, uncorrected faults will soon find their way to the site.
I don't see any need for a "Local Info" site. The usual practice is to create a third environment, Acceptance, between Test and Site. Your workflow then proceeds as follows.
Test => Acceptance => Site (production)
In the Acceptance site, the aim is to mimic production before you actually go into production. You equip the tested code with application, configuration and other settings that mimic the production environment, and you test some more.
Document the main issues that arise at every stage of the process. Software is complex human work. It usually happens that you have to reverse what you've done. That's where documentation is vital. When everything is to your satisfaction, move the files from Acceptance to the site.

Lightroom Metadata editing and workflow is tedious nightmare!

I'm new to Lightroom in just the past month, but have used it enough to see that a serious interface problem makes Lightroom version 1x virtually unusable in a deadline-oriented publishing workflow. Lightroom's Metadata editing and workflow is just a terrible nightmare, and far too tedious and slow. It appears to be an afterthought implemented by good-hearted souls who've never had to edit this sort of information under serious deadline pressures. I know Lightroom is marketed as an image database and not a file browser, but we're all looking to simplify our workflow here and with just a few subtle enhancements, Lightroom could be an excellent file browser and file import manager too.
As it is now, the Lightroom v1x handling of File Naming and Renaming, Metadata Editing and Keyword Editing is poorly implemented and in need of an immediate overhaul to help professional photographers expedite this crucial and time-consuming first step in the archiving workflow. While Lightroom is very good at many other tasks, I give it a big fat "F" of a failing grade for these tasks.
First, the Lightroom Library Module needs an even more simple, linear interface that steps users through a precise procedures (and helps them remember them). Arguably, to accomplish this, the Import function may need to become a separate Module that can be selected and used separately before entering the Library. As File Naming and Renaming, Metadata Editing and Keyword Editing currently are implemented, I, for one, am always forgetting to fill out one of these critical sections and can't even seem to remember that some may need to be done before importing while others appear to be conceived to be done after importing. My point is, all these related steps really need to be done together, but the Interface spreads out the functions too much, and it is nearly impossible to build a logical and linear Import workflow, especially when you are first learning Lightroom.
I'd like to see a workflow that walks me through applying and editing (in order), File Naming, Basic and IPTC Metadata, Captioning and Keywords, so that I don't always forget some obscure step in the process (which I keep doing). Here are some specific suggestions, some of which may prove to be valid, some of which may be problems due to my lack of experience with thye software.
1. As currently implemented, Metadata editing requires too much thought, and does not have enough intelligent automation. Eliminate as much typing as possible (See Photo Mechanic!)
2. Lightroom needs better Metadata Presets. A "Quick Edit" view to simplify interface for editing minimal metadata info (File Name, Basic Info, Keywords, Headline, Limited Copyright Info).
3. Separating Keyword Tags, Metadata Browser, Keywording Presets and Metadata Presets confuses the workflow. They should all appear together under one selectable module that organizes a suggested, linear workflowfor these tasks, but allows it to be customized. This is the sort of tasks that need to be learned by rote memory, and having all these panes floating around on both sides of the photo make it impossible to quickly step through these tasks.
- Name (or Rename) files, Edit/Apply Basic and IPTC Metadata, Edit/Apply Keywords, Import or...
- Import, Name (or Rename) files, Edit/Apply Basic and IPTC Metadata, Edit/Apply Keywords, Import
4. Rename should offer the option of renaming the master file names on the disk, not just file names in the database (which I think is what Lightroom does, but again, this is very confusing for new users)! So, it is my belief that this feature needs a checkbox option to rename one, the other or both. But you need to be able to quickly find this dialog box every time you do an import, and it should not be hidden away out of view under the Library menu. Ideally and logically (for workflow), File Renaming should be handled when starting the Import into Lightroom.
This is critically important because many user

Lightroom metadata editing Part 2 (see Part 1 at top of thread)...
...This is critically important because many users just do not want to trust their images solely to any database and we want the ability to go look for master files with identical names should something go wrong with the software or we decide to edit the file in Photoshop outside of Lightroom or even switch to another library software program.
My own habit is to rename every file with the date followed by a unique, three-digit file number, as in 20070717_001, 20070717_002...up to 999 etc. (I have never shot more than 999 files in a single day, but this could be a four-digit number). To file these on disk, a folder with a similar naming scheme is created for each day's shoot, although a keyword slug is added to the end instead of file numbers.
5. Metadata Presets (Basic Info, IPTC metadata, EXIF metadata), Keywords need to be able to toggled on or off (promote/demote-expand/contract). Turning Off/On one section at a time via the Metadata Presets popup menu is too tedious...and you can't display IPTC and Large Caption together or leave Large Caption turned on. It also is difficult to remember where the Large Caption default (Preferences) setting is...
6. Please get the EXIF data out of the way entirely when editing captions and visa-versa...And the EXIF data should not separate Basic Info and IPTC Info fields. Please relocate the EXIF to the bottom of the Metadata pane...
7. IPTC Content, IPTC Copyright, IPTC Creator, IPTC Image expand/collapse sections need more automation:
- The Presets fields need Preset lists of entry choices for cities, states, countries, etc.!
- ISO Country Code automatically should be filled in when a country is entered.
- Date created automatically should be filled in from camera EXIF data
- Metadata Presets "Save As" should fill in old name, and allow you to rename it; (When it appears, the new name field should not be empty. This would aid in consistent, alphabetical naming
- Metadata Presets naming should support job names, with actual Presets saved under each job name...
8. IPTC Status EXIF, Contact, etc.
- Caption field MUST display more than one line...(6-8 lines)!
- Caption field MUST support Shift/Return!
- Headline (IPTC Content) should be displayed with (and above) caption. Please present information logically!
- Yellow popups should describe what each field name is for...some are real brain teasers...

Information on Globalization of Workflow Builder GUI

I am trying to determine if the Oracle Workflow builder application can display non-English characters in its menus, labels, dialogs, etc. Is there central site that describes the level of internationalization for this and other Oracle products? I have already looked in the "Products > Database > Oracle Workflow" forum and post a request there. Any point of contact would be helpful. Thank You.

Hi Srinivas,
Firstly when you create the container element for the task set is as an import parameter ( Double click on the container element-> Properties (Tab)-> Import(Field) ). Save the task. In SWDD select the activity. Put in the task and Click on Binding button. You will get a pop up showing all the workflow elements and the task elements. Map the workflow element to the task element here. Save and activate the workflow.
In SWO1 open the method for the business object. Click on parameters button and add an import parameter of the same data type as the task container element. In the program add the following code:
Data: newvariable type datatype
swc_get_element container 'NEWVARIABLE' newvariable.
Open the task definition and click on method binding. Map the task container element to the method input parameter.
After these steps you should be able to use the new variable in your code.
