Oracle UCM Release Date - Workflow

In Oracle UCM the release date is shown at the date and time the content enters workflow. Is there an easy way to update the release date field with the date that the content is approved?. I am trying to report on the date that the content item was approved in the workflow, not when it entered the workflow.
Does anyone know of an easy way to do this. Is there any way in workflow to write out to a custom metadata field the date and time the content was approved?
Thanks in advance for your help with this.

What you're probably seeing is actually "dInDate" rather than "dReleaseDate".
On the content info page the revisions table at the bottom has an (intentionally) mislabled column called "release date" that actually displays dInDate
dInDate is when the content item was submitted.
dReleaseDate is when the content item is released from all the workflow processing and indexing into the general collection.
It is possible to have dReleaseDate set during workflow but only if you set wfReleaseDocument=1 in the workflow script(s).
So report on dReleaseDate and ignore what's in the revisions table.
Out of the box, UCM keeps dInDate as the date that you checked in the file. However, we have a product, "Workflow Solution Set" that updates the dInDate to the date that the item is released from workflow and thereby shows up in the revisions table and any other reports as the time the doc was actually approved for consumption. Check out our Workflow Solution Set product (for 10g and 11g) here: http://bit.ly/95Rocu
FYI: you can see what is getting loaded in that table by appending "&IsJava=1" to the URL and taking a look at the REVISION_HISTORY result set.
hope this helps

below
this is reg Oracle CRM doubts abt career
1.where exactly Technical parts involves.i mean ,so
o far i felt its more on functional and customer
maintenance.
Both Technical and Functional. When some body ask for CRM technical, its understood that he is an expert in SQL/PLSQL and also in JAVA. well, it depends on the modules you gonna work.
2.Jobs in CRM are more on Fuctinal or technical or
should have both ??
Both are equally good, prolly finding a crm technical shld be lil easy.
3.i heard recently that Oracle brought Sielble,that
means no more sieble??? so what i need to learn

Siebel CRM is better product but it depends on you!
4.to survive in CRM feild need a lot communication
skills and marketing skills? as it involves more on
customore relationship.??
Not only in CRM, for any job, your communication skills are most important.
> 5.do i need to learn JAVA...i am already have
microsoft .net skills like vb,asp and c#...so do u i
need any other tools to know.
It'd be good if you learn java and be competitive.
6.if java needs its what extend i should know this
java? as i am already good in some other programming
languages i can easily can pickup very fast.pls
advice
JAVA, JSP should be fair enough
7.how much time need to finish the training for CRM
It depends! You'll be learning everyday!
8.Oracle CRM have good future?
No doubt about it.

Oracle UCM custom Criteria Workflow

I am looking for some help.
I am trying to create a criteria workflow based on a document type. I have used the command wfrelease to commit all metadata to the repository in the entry step.
The user in the workflow will either approve the workflow or select from a custom metadata field option list called "status". Once a user sets the value to "rescan" in the "status" option list I want the user to reject the workflow. Once rejected we want the workflow to be sent to an alias and not the original author.
If the user sets the value of the "status" option list to either "return", "reroute", or "invalid" value and rejects the workflow then I want the workflow to be routed to a different alias.
Is this very difficult to accomplish? What steps would I need to create? I am pretty sure somehow I need to create tokens for the 2 different aliases and call them on reject but I am having trouble putting all of this together.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey Data Bitz
The good news is that yes, all this can be done with some configuration and a bit of workflow scripting.
Several items:
1) I'm not seeing a reason why you need to use WfRelease in the entry step. Workflow users can still access and alter the metadata for routing as you describe. Do you want the item to be indexed (to appear in the search results lists)?
2) While there are several ways to do this I would envision a two step workflow. Step one is your "rejection handler" step 2 is your user review step.
first time through content passes through step one with a criteria based jump in the entry event of that step. The criteria is along the lines of if step entry count <= 1 then jump .
Make sure that step one is an edit and review step. Step two is where the user either approves or sets the status metadata field to some other value. If s/he approves, the content is released (or goes on to subsequent steps).
If the status is changed then you want to trigger a rejection. This brings me to point 3...
3) Do you want "rejection" or do you just want to rout the content to another set of users for review. The reason is that rejection is logged as a "rejection" Workflow Action in the database. If you are tracking or reporting against this then you'll want a "real" rejection. If you just want the item to be routed to an alias that is based on the value of the status field then this is different and can be achieved without a full blown rejection action. The choice is yours and the impact is really just on reporting and the routing behavior of the content object.
4) so lets say the user sets the status to "rescan". Remember we're in step 2 here. Use the update event of step 2 to look for the Metadata Update action. Because the update event of the workflow step acts like a loop it is able to pick up the metadata updates that the user executes. Configure a jump in the step event to say +if there has been a metadata update action then check the value of the status metadata field. if the value of the status metadata field is "rescan" then perform this action, if the value of the metadata field says some other value (either "not rescan" or "return", "reroute" etc) then perform this other action+
5) So if you really want a true rejection then the this action from above will be a bit of IDOC to execute with WFREJECT service. You'll need to pass along the appropriate parameters for the service (see pp 348/349 of the services reference guide for the WF_REJECT service and required parameters. The guide is here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10316_01/cs/cs_doc_10/documentation/developer/services_reference_10gr3en.pdf). If you just want to route the content to another set of users then the this action and this other action are actually the same and you can jump back to step 1 with a jump script. While the actions are the same, the users will be different and we can handle this with some basic workflow configuration scripting as well. Now here is where the fun begins.
6) So you're back in step 1 either because the WF_REJECT action happened or because you jumped here. The status field set to "rescan" or some other value like "return", "reroute" etc. Go back int the entry event of step 1. This is where the pass through code from item 2 above was written. The cool thing about the entry event is that it gets evaluated BEFORE step users are set and email notifications go out. This means that you can set any kind of user decision logic right in the event. So beneath the pass through code I would create another block of workflow scripting that does the following: gets the value of the status field - you can do this simply by referencing the metadata field name - e.g. myVar=xStatus. If myVar="rescan" then set a companion file variable to the name of the alias you want - e.g. +<$if myVar="rescan"$><$wfSet("reviewerAlias","YOUR_ALIAS_NAME")$><$endif$>+ If you're unfamiliar with the companion file, see pp 18 of the workflow implementation guide (link below). Think of it as a temporary memory cache for each item in workflow. It is a place where any key value pairs can be set and retrieved for any document as long as it is in workflow. Keep setting the value of "reviewerAlias" to the different alias names based on your IF condition. for example:
+<$if myVar="rescan"$><$wfSet("reviewerAlias","YOUR_ALIAS_NAME")$><$elseif myVar="return"$><$wfSet("reviewerAlias","YOUR_OTHERL_ALIAS_NAME")$><$endif$>+
7) Finally you have the content in the right step, you have evaluated the metadata and have set a variable in the companion file with the correct alias name you want to be the users for the step. The last thing is to retrieve that alias name and set that alias as the step user. Remember that workflow is able to set either individual user names (singly or CSV) or ALIAS names as step users. Remember that an alias in UCM is a list of user names. You will use a token in step 1 to retrieve the value of the companion file key and set the alias to be that user. The token code is straight forward but if you want a walk through then check out the adding ad hoc step users section in chapter 9 of the workflow implementation guide here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10316_01/cs/cs_doc_10/documentation/admin/workflow_guide_10gr3en.pdf
Your token code will look something like this:
<$wfAddUser(wfGet("reviewerAlias"), "alias")$>
The wfAddUser function is the token code. It is what adds the step user and it take two parameters - parameter 1 is the name or names of a user or alias. parameter 2 is the type either "user" or "alias".
So this give you a fully dynamic workflow that allows the routing of the items to be fully dynamic and driven off of metadata - something that is very easy for end users. It also allows the reviewers to be dynamically set using tokens and a bit of idoc. No coding outside of the workflow admin applet has to happen at all.
Of course, my company, Fishbowl would love to talk with you more about what you're doing and see if we can provide any additional service to you. Please let me know!
Warmly,

Implement Oracle UCM 11.11.5 Workflow (idoc scripting)

Hi guys,
We are using Oracle UCM 11.1.1.5.
We have a 3 stages workflow. The stages are called as "Preparation", "Verification" and "Approval". We use Aliases. Users can be a members of many Aliases. But our requirement is a same user can't approve two subsequent steps. Lets say a user is member of all aliases. Hence he will be able to approve all stages of the workflow. But our requirement is the document who prepared should not be allowed to approve it in the verification stage. The system should throw a warning message. in the same way the person who approves in the verification stage should not be allowed to approve it in the "Approval" stage. Can we use idoc scripting to do that? Please give some idea and sample scripts to do this.
The question we have are how we can identify the previous stage approver and how we can display warning message on the screen when a same approver trying to approve again in the subsequent stages?
Thanks in advance
With Regards
Jacob

Complex workflow(s) using Oracle UCM

We are trying to explore if Oracle UCM Workflow can handle a complex article submission process which contains two main aspects/processes: the author submits a piece of content which kicks off a review process by editors. However, the author can evoke multiple actions at any time after content submission, i.e. modifying the metadata fields of the content, and such actions will impact the editor review process/workflow. So we are looking at two processes that interact with each other, and the author process does not follow any pre-defined steps in sequence, i.e. the author can choose action a, b, or c at will.
Another requirement is for the editor review workflow to have more control of email notifications, e.g. decide when the email notification should be sent using which email template.
Has anybody dealt with similar cases? Any ideas if the Oracle UCM is capable of doing this without substantial customization?
Thanks!

i am on a mobile device right now so the response will be short. the short answer is yes to both questions (is it possible and do you have experience doing it). UCM workflow can take metadada values and / or other derrived or injected values to trigger wf events and routing. this applies to email triggers and templates as well.

Workflow ByPass Approve - Oracle UCM 11g

I need to enable the option *"ByPass Approve Link"* for steps action in a Criteria Workflow.
In Oracle UCM Documentation (__http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e10978/c05_workflows.htm#CIHFBGEJ__) said the link appears in Workflow Actions as default for users who has Read permission, but doesnt it.
Please, if someone knows how to enable this link. Its urgent.

Oracle BPEL PM release dates

Hi,
Can someone give me the release dates and version numbers of the various BPEL PM releases up to now ?
I'm trying to get a feel for the maturity and get accurate dates, thanks !
Cheers,
Baber

Oracle released this product under it's own name in June or July of last year. A new version, 10.1.2 was released first quarter this year.
Before becoming an Oracle product it has been in production for at least a year or so as the Collaxa BPEL server. So I would say it is quite mature.

Oracle Reports 9i release date???

Dear All,
Has there been a release date set for Oracle Reports 9i? We are having some serious installation issues with Oracle Reports 6i clashing with Oracle 8.0.6 database, 9i Application Server, and trying to get the demos installed so that we can really learn how to use this tool that seems like it will definitely fit our web app reporting needs.
Thanks in advance for any info,
Jeff

Almost a week later, and still no change to the Express Edition download page. There must be some last minute bugs to fix.
At least 11gR2 XE fixes the problem (that exists with 10gR2 XE) on Windows where starting the Oracle XE service does not open the database.
Edit: that Oracle newsletter has been edited. It now says: "Oracle Database, Express Edition 11g is now available for download as a beta release, +and the production release is imminent+."

Oracle UCM 10gr3 and webcenter 11g, WCM Portlets

Hi,
I have installed Oracle UCM 10gR3, Site Studio 10gR4 and Webcenter 11g. Now my problem is how to get the WYSIWIG (WCM Portlet) created in UCM to be retrieved in webcenter spaces.
My understanding after reading some articles is the only way i can communicate is through WSRP (CIS and CPS), if that is the case can u suggest what is the difference between them and which one is best one for a Intranet Application. Please also provide the example for the portlet and the steps to install them locally.
i not asking to give all the answers at a time. Just share bit by bit even if u have some knowledge.
Thanks,
Pradeep.
I am a Newbie!!!

Hey Pradeep,
You have lots of options for retrieving content from UCM in WebCenter besides CIS and by extension CPS. The best article on the subject can be found here (if you haven't already read it): http://blogs.oracle.com/fusionecm/2010/04/oracle_ucm_integration_with_we.html
To more directly answer your questions the difference between CIS and CPS is that CIS is the lower level API that actually does the communication with UCM. It serializes your request across the socket and handles the response data that comes back packaging it up as easy to use objects. CPS leverages CIS as its backend to allow the portlets to communicate with UCM.
For an intranet application you have lots of options. For document management I would recommend a combination of the Document Library taskflow along with a couple of the CPS portlets (my workflow assignments, etc). To retrieve content to display as part of an intranet "site" I would leverage the Content Presenter taskflow.
If the content to be retrieved is Site Studio 10gr4 assets I would instead recommend that you roll your own simple content portlets. That is what we ended up doing at Fishbowl and have reused them to great affect implementing several intranet portals for different customers in a very short amount of time.
