Limitations of Process Management

Hi Guys,
I have just enabled and tested the process management in HFM 11.1.1.3. Is it true that once basic users have calculated their data and a reviewer level 1 promotes the data, these users cannot see the data in the webgrids anymore?
I would like to have all (RU) users to view the data at all times but unable to edit once it is above their level of access. Is this possible?
Many thanks for your help or thoughts!
(btw the hierarchy is like this: RU-->BU-->CORP)

That should not be the case. Users should see data in review levels above their role access -- it just becomes read-only to them.
Keep in mind that process management is per-entity. So, if a user promotes RU from level 1 to level 2, this has no bearing at all on BU or Corp. Parent entities cannot be in a higher review level than their children, but they can be a in lower review level. I guess to help you further, I'd need to understand which data they cannot see.
Finally, this is independent of Phased Submission, which takes these concepts and adds a lot more complexity.
What message to they get in grids? NoAccess?

BPEL Process Manager doamin in 11g

Hi All,
We are in process to create a new SOA project in 11g using BPEL. Previously we have implemented BPEL projects in 10g and is quite familiar with it.
In 10G, apart from the developers, we also have technical business people who monitor BPEL processes through the Process Manager. Each project is divided up in BPEL domains so they only see what they need to see .
Is the concept of BPEL domains (or SOA domains) completely gone in 11g? If so how do you suggest we expose the BPEL processes to the users in a user friendly manner? The 11g Fusion Enterprise Manager has way too much information for your average user.
We could install a new EM on a Weblogic Server for each business, but isnt that way too much over head to achieve project isolation?
Thanks in advance!
Shaf

we are bringing this back (we are well aware of this limitation) - and the first incarnation (that allows for grouping of composites) - will likely show up in the next patch release. [which is as much as I am allowed to say with regards to promised features]. Target end state: full fledged RBAC / tuning / logging and all the other good stuff we had with bpel domains.

What BPEL process manager ?

We are using Oracle database 11g and were planing to use Oracle workflow, but later found that workflow will not be supported anymore, So the question is , can BPEL process manager be used in place of Oracle Workflow ?
Thanks,
Sanjay

Hi,
You my dear friend are in a much better position now 'coz you can make a choice!
Well, these past two months I'd been working on a project involving migration of an enterprise application's core framework from Oracle WorkFlow to BPEL and believe me it has been a major pain in the neck. But, you may or may not face these problems depending upon whether most of your business processes are synchronous or asynchronous in nature. Plus, migrations are never supposed to be easy! Isn't it? ;)
Anyways, when our App was using OWF all our interactions were basically synchronous Java calls to PL/SQL procedures. So, anytime an exception occured all we had to do was invoke a rollback and our App was back in a consistent state. But, while migrating to BPEL, we started facing troubles in mapping our synchronous business processes to asynchronous BPEL processes mostly in handling exceptional cases where we wished we could push an exception back to the Java client.
But, I think we mostly faced problems due to the migration limitations listed below that we had and which you probably would not be having as you would be designing your processes to use BPEL from the scratch:
1. We couldn't have used synchrous BPEL processes as they all had to create HumanTasks which is a long running activity that may take days to complete.
2. As we were migrating the core framework and not the App itself we were not supposed to change our App code that in most of the cases was assuming that the underlying workflow engine calls are synchronous in nature.
Things are pretty stable now but we still find ourselves finding workarounds to put the App in sync with what has happened within BPEL. So, it's certainly doable but it's not as easy as it sounds esp. the migrations! ;)
I hope my experience helps you out in taking a better call.
Cheers,
Ravi

Custom Line Manager Data Role is limiting the Line Manager Actions

Hi
I have Created Custom Data Role on Seeded Line manager role and it is limiting the Line Manager actions (I see only Promotion and Manage Directs actions)
since i cant create a New data Role on Line Manager Abstract role. I followed these steps to do the same:
1. I have Created the 'SPS Plant Rep New' job role which inheritance the seeded 'Line Manager (HCM)'
2. i have Create the 'SPS Tulsa Plant Rep' data role with custom person Criteria (Include some locations and Exclude some Department)
3. i have assigned the 'SPS Tulsa Plant Rep' data role with person
4. ran the Retrieve process
5. Login as person who has the 'SPS Tulsa Plant Rep' data role and pick employee who meets the criteria and click on Actions, we are seeing only Promote and Manage Directs actions
but seed line Manager will have all actions like transfer, terminate, Change location, change manager.. ets but i am not seeing any of them.
my Custom Data role Suppose to restrict only people search not actions.
please refer the doc for all screenshots.
Thanks
Kranthi

Is this "On Site" or on Cloud ? The actions that you mention are they secured by function security (that is with OPSS permissions) or data security restricting access on the actions on specific data ? If this is data security and you have access to the database you potentially use the Data Security PLSQL APIs to triage what the issue is.

Unable to start Oracle Process Manager from the windows services for OBIEE

Hi,
I have OBIEE 11g installed on a 32-bit windows machine. Of the two windows services installed, I am unable to start the Oracle Process Manager. When I try to start it I get the following error:
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
At the back end, this service is calling the file opmn.exe which is placed at MIDDLEWAREHOME\Oracle_BI1\opmn\bin. On trying to execute this file the error we get is:
The procedure entry point longjmp could not be located in the dynamic link library orauts.dll
I have tried replacing the orauts.dll file, but to no avail.
Please let me know if you have any clue regarding what is to be done.
Thanks
Naman

Hi Naman,
This error occurs for the following reasons,
*Path variable is not set properly
*Multiple Oracle homes exists in the same machine.
Follow the below steps and let me know if it works,
1. Select My Computer -> Right Click -> Properties
2. In the System Properties screen go to Advanced Tab
3. Click on Environment Variables
4. In the System Variables section select PATH variable & Click edit
5. Now you will find that it will contain invalid directories. Remove the incorrect entries. This may happen when you have multiple oracle homes in the same machine
6. Restart the service.
Rgds,
Dpka

BPEL Process Manager Generated WSDL

We are working on an ant build framework for a Oracle SOA Suite 10.1.3.3.0 project, consisting of a main BPEL process that is synchronously calling another BPEL process via an ESB. This second process uses the same ESB to call back the original process.
This of course leads to a circular deployment dependency, where the ESB requires both BPEL WSDLs before it can be deployed, and each BPEL process needs a WSDL for the ESB endpoint to be deployed.
We are attempting to short circuit this dependency by deploying a web application registry for the WSDLs in question, but this presents us with a further problem. The WSDLs used to communicate with the BPEL processes and ESB are not the project WSDLs, but appear to actually be describing web service wrappers generated on the application server side. In order to use the proposed web registry, we would need to be able to predictably generate these WSDLs (or at least representative versions).
In our example it looks like a case of generating binding and service elements and merging them with the BPEL project WSDL , but we do not feel that it is safe to assume anything about this behaviour and would prefer some kind of documentation to inform our decision.
So, a couple of questions:
1) Can anyone provide documentation and/or description of how the required web service endpoints are generated by the application server/BPEL process manager?
2) Alternatively, is there a better way of avoiding or dealing with the aforementioned circular dependency?
Thankyou

I was wondering too what would be a could solution for the "circular dependency" situation.
In my current project we will build some mockup-bpels(just for the interface) for the time being.

Problem to start BPEL Console of Oracle BPEL Process Manager 10.1.3.1.0

Hi everyone!
I'm writing to yours because I installed Oracle BPEL Process Manager 10.1.3.1.0 but I can't start BPEL Console. I tried to start it by the option menu of Windows XP and by Developer Prompt, but I get a HTTP 404 Not Found page. When I was installing the universall installer told me that it wasn't possible to set ORACLE_HOME variable because it had a value older than 1023 characteres. So, I continue the installation but I can't start the BPEL Console. The Dos Console teld me sometimes when I put http://localhost:9700/BPELConsole..timed out. So, tell me how to resolve that problem.
I'll be waiting your responses.

Hi,
you said:
it wasn't possible to set ORACLE_HOME variable because it had a value older than 1023 characteres
What do you mean with older than 1023 chars?
I think the easiest way is to uninstall the BPEL Console and run the installer again with correcting the ORACLE_HOME problem...

Hi,
I'm new to BPEL. I downloaded BPEL Process Manager 10.1.3.1.0 for OC4J for Windows. After the download while doing the Oracle Universal Installer I selected "BPEL Process Manager for OracleAS Middle Tier"
I get the following error:
BPEL Process Manager for OracleAS Middle Tier will run on top of a supported Oracle Applications Server 10.1.3.0 J2EE Server and Web Server OR J2EE Server instance. This location does not contain this instance. Please refer to the Installation Guide for supported versions. Please select a new Oracle Home that contains a supported instance.
Can anyone please let me know what could be the issue.
Thanks

Hi,
I'm new to BPEL. I downloaded BPEL Process Manager
10.1.3.1.0 for OC4J for Windows. After the download
while doing the Oracle Universal Installer I selected
"BPEL Process Manager for OracleAS Middle Tier" You would select the above installation option only if you already have an OracleAS Middle Tier - and it would then install BPEL PM into the same ORACLE_HOME.
The below error message is telling you the same. You have one of two options:
1. install Oracle AS midtier first and then redo the above install of the BPEL PM
2. select the standalone option (not the midtier option)

Help needed in oracle 11g soa suite.........(BPEL Process manager)

we tried to download bpel process manager 11g but as per oracle it is under Oracle Fusion Middleware 11gR1 so we have downloaded the same also.....*
but the problem is agter installation we are not getting anuthing called oracle bpel process manager and also we are not able to run soa suite..........*
Can you please suggest how we can install the same or is there any other way so that we can run bpel process manager.*

Hi,
Download SOA 11.1.1.2.0 from OTN.
1. Don't forget to download RCU (Repository Configuration Utility). It is an extractable zip folder. Extract it. Navigate to its bin folder. Invoke rcu.sh/rcu.bat. It will open RCU. Choose Create. Enter your db details. In the next screen, choose SOA Infrastructure schema. Provide a schema prefix. Default would be 'DEV'. Proceed with further steps.
2. After installing 11gR1, navigate to your $ORACLE_HOME/common/bin
Invoke config.sh/config.cmd based on your OS. This will open the configuration wizard.
Choose create domain option. Enter the domain name. Select the templates: SOA Suite and Enterprise Manager. In the JDBC Datasources screen, enter the SOA schema information, db details. Complete the wizard. No need to customize anything else. This will create a SOA Domain.
3. Run the setNMProps.sh/cmd from $MW_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin folder.
4. Navigate to $MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/bin. Execute startNodeManager.sh/cmd. This will start the node manager.
5. Now navigate to your $DOMAIN_HOME. You will be able to find startWeblogic.cmd/sh file. Execute it. This will start your Admin Server.
6. Once the server started, login to WLS Admin Console (http://host:7001/console). Navigate to Servers. Click on Control tab. Select soa_server1. Start the server.
This will start the SOA server. To test your soa is up, access the url http://host:8001/soa-infra
There is no BPEL Console/ ESB Console / OWSM console in 11g. Everything is managed from your EM. EM url would be http://host:admin_server_port/em (http://host:7001/em)

How to install Oracle BPEL Process Manager for OracleAS Middle Tier

hi,
i need to install BPEL process manager, so i download the following file from otn
1.soa_windows_x86_101310_disk1
2.soa_windows_x86_bpel_101310
here i read the document named b28980.pdf from bpel\doc\pc.1012 to install BPEL PM
so i start to complete the pre-installation task
1.installed Oracle database 10g
2.Run the Integration Repository Creation Assistant on the Database
3.Install Oracle Application Server 10g Release3 (10.1.3.1.0) and select either the J2EE Server installation type or the J2EE and Web Server installation type. selected J2EE and Web Server installation type
and installed according to the Oracle application server installation guide.
installed OracleAS in the path : D:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1
4.Install the current release of Oracle BPEL Process Manager for OracleAS Middle Tier
here they mention to select the J2EE and Web Server installation type because that type is selected in Oracle AS installed in Oracle Application Server
so i start to install the BPEL PM by selecting the setup.exe-->and shows the location source and destination
default destination is : D:\product\10.1.3.1\OraBPEL_1 selected next on the screen
the next screen is select installation type here there are two types named
1.BPEL process Manager for Developer (371MB)
2.BPEL process manager for Oracle AS Middle tier (107MB)
i selected 2.BPEL process manager for Oracle AS Middle tier (107MB) and click next
pop up window opens with title dependencies
error:
BPEL Process manager for oracle AS Middle tier will run on top of a supported Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.1.0 J2EE server and Web Server Or J2EE server instance. this location does not contain this instance. Please select new Oracle home that contains a supported instance.
so i changed the destination path to : D:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1\BIN then also i got the same error.
please any one mention the path for J2EE and Web Server instance for installing the BPEL PM for Oracle AS Middle Tier.
Thanks in Advance
Aswath Thaniga

If you choose the developer version you will be fine.
If you have installed J2EE and Web Server installation into D:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1 then this is the location you install your BPEL PM into, not D:\product\10.1.3.1\OraBPEL_1 or D:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1\BIN.
D:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1 is what we call the ORACLE_HOME, generally we create a new home for each install, but in this case there is a dependency on 10.1.3.1 OC4J container. So it needs to be installed into 10.1.3.1 oracle home.
The bin directory is just the executables for that home, its not the actual. home.

How to install Oracle imaging & process management in windows xp prof

Hi All
I am trying to install oracle Imaging & Process management in windows XP. Please let me know whether it is possible in windows XP or not... which I couldn't able to install in XP. when I saw the Install doc, it mentioned it is possible in windows server 2003. Installation guide mentioned that we have to setup 6 or 7 different server setups.
or
If any one have I/PM installation steps for windows server 2003 Please provide the steps.
Any input would be greatly appreciable.
regards
Vijay

Vijay,
IPM is not certified to be installed on Windows XP (as for IPM services).
It is possible to install IPM on one server machine (or two, if you need Web). First, you have to decide, which services you have to install.
