Need to start process without SAP_BPM_SuperAdmin

We would like to give a class of users the ability to launch BPM processes without giving them SAP_BPM_SuperAdmin.
The problem with doing that, is that they could access NWA and change the process repository, if they found there way there.
Is there a way to just assign the role temporarily to the application?
Any thoughts?

Hi Jim,
Try this:
Create a wsdl in your bpm dc and assign it as an interface to the 'Start' of your bpm process. Build and depoy the bpm dc. Now create a small webdynpro dc with a button say Start Process and call the web-service which you have assigned to the Start of the process. Assign this wd dc to a page/role and assign it to the reqd users.
Hope it helps.
Regards

Do I need to Start Journal after Stream process restarting

I have a CDC process using JKM with "Oracle Streams Consistent set" in place. Do I need to start the Journal once the Database is back up after a shutdown and the stream process is restarted?

You may not need to do that. Please refer to support note "What Is The Basic Setup Of The Changed Data Capture (Journalization) Feature In ODI (Doc ID 793424.1)"

Just purchased airport extreme what cable do i need to start the process, is it a double ended male usb cable because there is no cat-5 connector on macbook air?

Hi, which type cable do I need to start a hard wire connection between my Airport extreme and my macbook Air, is it a double ended male USB
because there is no cat-5 port in the notebook

If you want to connect the AirPort Extreme to the MacBook Air via Ethernet, you'll need one of these (requires a late 2010 MacBook Air or later and OS X Lion (10.7.4) or later): http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD463ZM/A/thunderbolt-to-gigabit-ethernet-adap ter

Getting the Output Stream of a Process without exec()ing it first.

Hi there,
I am writing a java application which needs to open another application "gnuplot". Now my operating system is windows and I open pgnuplot .
Also I want to send input to the above gnuplot (say plot sin(x) ) via the outputStream. The following is what I do :-
     String gnuplot_cmd = "plot sin(x)\n" ;
          Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:/gnuplot/gnuplot4/bin/pgnuplot.exe");
          PrintWriter gp = new PrintWriter(p.getOutputStream());
          gp.print(gnuplot_cmd);
          gp.close();
But the above doesn't work fully , in that only the blank wgnuplot terminal window pops up however I am unable to direct input to the gnuplot application.
The reason being that , pgnuplot checks for
its stdin being redirected the moment it's started. If, at that time,
the "PrintWriter" is not yet connected to the OutputStream of the
process, that check will fail, and pgnuplot will revert to just executing
wgnuplot, without any command line redirection.
I am facing a problem of how to attach a OutputStream to the process, without getting exec()ing the process.
Is there anyway at all, i can get a process without starting it, so that I can attach an output Stream to it before it gets executed?
I am open to work arounds, anything that will automate the process of writing to the gnuplot terminal.
thanks!
nandita.

The reason being that , pgnuplot checks for
its stdin being redirected the moment it's started.
If, at that time,
the "PrintWriter" is not yet connected to the
OutputStream of the
process, that check will fail, and pgnuplot will
revert to just executing
wgnuplot, without any command line redirection. I'm not convinced this analysis is correct. gnuplot doesn't need to know that there's a PrintWriter there, and it probably can't know. It just needs to know whether its standard input is coming from console or not. The Java library code that can invoke processes probably handles the redirect right away, and that's why there's the OutputStream available even before you create the PrintWriter.
exec can be tricky. I think the problem may be that you're not dealing with standard output or standard error. Read this:
When Runtime Exec Won't
If that still doesn't help, there may be options to gnuplot to tell it exactly where its input is coming from.

Java Web Start 1.6 fails to start application without Java Consol on Vista

Hi All,
I've faced with problem related to starting my application in IE 7 on Vista SP1 using Java Web Start (JRE 1.6.0_12 and 1.6.0_13). I suppose that issue appears after 11th update of JRE 1.6 since it works fine before.
There were set settings to indicate initial and maximal size of the Java heap in the JNLP file.
Application consist of 2 JAR files and they are signed with the same certificate.
When user tried to start application there is no any activity after accepting certificate. After starting application javaw.exe just disappeared from processes list without any message or error.
When I changed default setting in Java Control Panel to show Java Console, I noticed that the application began to start. But it's not a solution of the issue, since all customers cannot be required to turn on Java console.
I believe this is a bug in JRE as the application starts with Java console and doesn't without it.
When I browsed the web looking for the solution or an advice I found Release notes for 1.6.0_014 where it was said that 6u14 Java Web Start failed to launch and notifies that JARs were not signed, if an insecure Java system property was specified in a sandbox JNLP file. In spite of that 14th updated wasn't used and there was no notification I tried to start application without settings for the Java heap and it worked.
Could someone help me with advice, since the application cannot be started with default heap size settings.
Thanks in advance.
Edited by: vovanst on Jul 28, 2009 8:06 AM

Hi,
as the 6u15 just arrived and the above mentioned bug should've been fixed (though I was unable to verify through the release notes), the error is still in there.
We have no timestamped jars, neither ours nor the bouncy castle ones, all certs are valid, ours is self signed.
6u13 runs, 6u14/6u15 won't.
I followed the instructions here: http://bouncycastle.org/devmailarchive/msg10415.html to no avail.
The bcprov.jar is wrapped in its own jnlp and referred as extension from the "main" jnlp.
The interesting parts of the stack trace are these:
Caused by (via getCause): java.lang.SecurityException: JCE cannot authenticate the provider BC
     at javax.crypto.Cipher.getInstance(DashoA13*..)
     at javax.crypto.Cipher.getInstance(DashoA13*..)
Caused by (via getCause): java.util.jar.JarException: Cannot parse https://localhost:8443/deploy/bcprov.jar
     at javax.crypto.SunJCE_c.a(DashoA13*..)

     at javax.crypto.Cipher.getInstance(DashoA13*..)
     at javax.crypto.Cipher.getInstance(DashoA13*..)
For me it seems there's a problem with resolving the url of the bcprov.jar, which would explain the lack of a delay which normally occurs when JCE verifies the signature of the bcprov provider classes. The error pops up almost instantly.
I'm clueless what to do now. Did Sun really achieve to completely destroy JCE provider functionality in Javaws, forcing us to use an alternative implementation?

Is there any way to create a time machine backup to an external hard drive with content already on it? I have a hard drive that i have used for pictures but when i try to run a backup it says i need to start from a blank drive. Can i get around it?

Is there any way to create a time machine backup to an external hard drive with content already on it? I have a hard drive that i have used for pictures but when i try to run a backup it says i need to start from a blank drive. Can i get around it?

It would be much better if you had separate drives for the pictures and Time Machine backups.....but, if you want to use the same drive for both purposes, temporarily move the folder with the pictures to another location for safe storage.
Run the Time Machine backup on the hard drive and verify that everything is working correctly. Time Machine will format the disk for you in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as part of the backup process.
Then move the folder with the pictures back to the hard drive with the Time Machine backups.
When you have tested to make sure that everything is working again, then and only then should you delete the folder with pictures from the temporary storage area.
Again....it would be much better to keep Time Machine backups on a drive just for that purpose, and other data on another drive for that purpose. This is clearly one of those times when the fact that you can do something does not mean to imply that you should do it.

BPM Start Process

We have scenario(file to file) where we get multiple files and is merged using BPM, transformed and sent to the receiver. We have file This is a time based collection. Incoming file adapter is set to poll every 30 sec, and the block in BPM timeout in 2 mins ( for testing purpose).
The BPM receive step (inside the loop) has the start process turned on. The expected behaviour was to receive all files in one instance of BPM and send the merged one out.
It is spawning the multiple BPM instance based on number of files in the sender file adapter. My guess is it is doing this since we have the start process on receive step and for each receive it is starting a new process. How do we eliminate this to have only one instance start as I am not finding any other step prior to receive ( block , and loop) where I can start the process.
Any help is appericiated.
Thanks,
Samir

1. If you want to merge the same file format , Use "Loop" step before "Recevie" step. Put some deadline branch , which will ensure your time limit.
This would resolve your problem.
2. If you want to merge different file format , you need to have multiple "Receive" steps and for that you need to use the "Fork" step.
Let me know if you still find any problem.
Thanks & Regards,
Dijesh Tanna.

Existing Categories are not listed in the Start Process

Hello,
I am currently using LC ES3 with SP3 and start having an issue with no Catgory listed in the Workspace ES3.
I checked the AdminUI > Application n Services > Categories and no Category is there either. If I create a new Category in the Admin UI then I can see it is listed in the Workspace ES3 but not sure why all of the existing Categories are not listed there.
Does any one have idea about this issue or any advise on this? Can you please share.
Thanks in advance,
HD

The -1 simply means it has no parent. I'm not sure when they enabled trees in the categories(much needed improvement!) as we just upgraded finally from 8.2.... For example if you have Category 1 and Category 2. If they are both -1 you will see them both on the "Start Process" screen. Where as if Category 1 was OID(2001) and parent_oid(-1) and Category 2 was OID(2005) and parent_oid(2001) then Category 2 would be under Category 1 in a treeview.
You just need to make sure that the parent_oid column is not nothing. If you did an upgrade it most likely is like ours was and the column is empty since it was a new column that 8.2 did not have.
Pic1 is (-1) for both.
Pic2 is Category 2 having Category 1 as it's parent.

Can't get batch from droplet to start processing

I'm using Compressor 4.0.7 running 10.8.5, but I've seen similar posts on other boards (Creative Cow) reaching back 2-3 years with same issue so I don't think it is new.
When using a droplet to submit a batch vs. submitting manually through Compressor, the droplet batch appears in Share Monitor, but hangs with a status of "Waiting" and never begins to get processed by my QuickCluster.
It clearly seems to be a bug as I did an A-B test without restarting any machines (host or clients) in the cluster and tried to submit 8 files by dragging them to the droplet.
Within a few seconds the batch appeared as expected in Share Monitor, but was stuck "waiting."
After a few minutes I manually created a batch in Compressor using the exact same 8 files, with same settings and same destination and submitted it directly from Compressor.
After a few seconds that batch also appeared in Share Monitor and immediately started processing correctly.
After it was finished successfully I then thought that maybe the "waiting" batch would then start up since things had gotten started in the queue.
No such luck - it just continued to hang with the "waiting" status.
Any ideas? It sure would save a ton of time to be able to use the droplet over and over ...
thx in advance.

Thank you very much for helping Allan. Something must have been wrong with the iTunes software. I switched it from Automatically sync when the iPhone is connected, to manual, clicked apply, then switched it back to Automatic, and now sync is in process. As a side note, I'm on Windows 7 and that may have had something to do with it. But it's working now, and why it didn't before when I did exactly the same thing is beyond me.
But again, thanks for your help.

Using CREATE PROCESS and START PROCESS in a JSP

Hi,
I have built a simple JSP page. I want to call my workflow program from this page.
How should I use the CREATE PROCESS() AND START PROCESS() inside the JSP page?
Also I want to get the value entered in the text field (which will be a hidden field) to be passed to the ITEM_ATTRIBUTE, which I have defined in my program. How can this be achieved?
Please give me the syntax for this.
Please find below the JSP page
=========================================================
<%@page import= "java.util.Date" %>
<script language="javascript" src="ibeCButton.js"> </script>
<html>
<head>
<title>First Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<H3>Today is:
<%= new java.util.Date() %>
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="CART_ID">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" onclick = >
</H3>
</body>
</html>
==========================================================
To use LAUNCHPROCESS in JSP, the following is the syntax.
public static boolean launchProcess
(WFContext wCtx,
String itemType,
String itemKey,
String process,
String userKey,
String owner)
Should WFContext have the connection information of the DB.
If I pass only the WFContext and itemType attributes are they enough? Please let me know.
Thanks

There are two options.
1. Good one.
Include wf*.jar files in your system CLASSPATH. Use oracle.apps.fnd.wf.engine.WFEngineAPI class to access engine APIs. You would need to pass WFContext for which you need WFDB.
You basically created WFDB with username, password and connect string. Pass it to WFContext and use it for all Workflow Engine APIs.
2. OK one.
You can get JDBC connection using the default mechanism that your custom Java and JSP code could be using. Call the PLSQL procedures WF_ENGINE.CreateProcess and WF_ENGINE.LaunchProcess over JDBC.
Anyways option 1 makes life easier.

Unable to start process via GP API in which group is exposed as input

Hi,
     I am not been able to start process using GP API for the particular senario.
I created Process at design time.
In this process I mapped parameters to a group and exposed this group, So that input is required for initiating the process.
Now I want to initiate this process via GP API.
I got sucess in starting processes which takes parameters as inputs or which does not need any inputs, but i was not been able to start process where group is exposed.
it's giving me GP INVOCATION Exception.
Please Help ASAP
