Oracle Workflow Inbound Processing Protocol

Hi Gurus,
Is there any other Oracle supported method to use a protocol different from IMAP for setting up the Inbound processing of the Oracle Workflow ?
This is in response to an unexpected shutdown of the POP and IMAP in our organization ?
I currently do not have any idea of what will replace IMAP but will update as soon as I know about it.
Does Mailer support POP3 as Protocol for Inbound Processing ? [ID 944802.1] says "*Workflow Notification Mailer only supports IMAP as the protocol for the Inbound Processing*"
Any advise on this would be really helpful.
Thanks,
Trith

Does Mailer support POP3 as Protocol for Inbound Processing ? [ID 944802.1] says "*Workflow Notification Mailer only supports IMAP as the protocol for the Inbound Processing*"
Any advise on this would be really helpful.AFAIK and as per the doc, only IMAP is supported (even if you see the Workflow mailer configuration via OAM, you will only find IMAP under "Inbound EMail Account" section in the LOV). However, I would suggeat you log a SR to confirm the same with Oracle support.
Thanks,
Hussein

Process Flow Deployment using Oracle workflow

Hi,
If I have my own Process Flow in XPDL, can I deploy it to the Oracle workflow? I couldn't find any doc regarding how Oracle workflow (standalone) imports XPDL file.
Is the Oracle workflow packaged with the OWB comes with some adapter that understand the XPDL process flow?
I have an application that may output process flows in XPDL, and I want to deploy them to Oracle workflow for processing. How do I do that?
Thanks,
Denny

Hi,
I´ve used it in 2 system as a DM. It works fine. But I have to say that they were a small project.
OWF is a very robust and easy tool. I´ve never need to look for another workflow because OWF always cover my project. When it doesn´t, I´m able to change some pl/sql procedures to make it attend project requirements.
I can advice you that if you want a personalized user interface, you are going to spend more time doing it than developing your workflow. but if you don´t need to personalize user interface, so it is very easy do develop and deploy a workflow.
Any doubt just ask.

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."

Oleg

URGENT: Oracle Workflow Error: API-10020 on Creation of OWB Process Flows

I am trying to use Oracle Workflow to create Process Flows, in order to link together various mappings and components in Oracle Warehouse Builder. However, in the process flow editor window when I attempt to drag an object such as a mapping onto the editor panel, I get an error message stating the below:
API-10020: Unable to determine if the map is a PLSQL or SQLLDR map, please correct the map or choose another map.
All my maps are in PLSQL, and the language setting is set to this. I have tried modifying the langauge settings to see if it makes a difference but with no luck. My colleague believes this is a known bug in Oracle Workflow and there is a patch available to correct it.
Can anyone help with this query please? Thank you for your time.

In some versions of OWB (10.1, 10.2) The mapping property will display PL/SQL, but will actually be set to NULL in the repository (which will cause PL/SQL to be displayed as default).
The fix is easy enough: in the developer navigator, right-click on the mapping and go to configure and set the generation language first to something other then PL/SQL (you should get an error) and then place it back to PL/SQL. This should force the GUI to reset the parameter.
Alternatively, use OMB*Plus:
OMBALTER MAPPING 'MAPPINGNAME' SET PROPERTIES \
(GENERATION_LANGUAGE) VALUES ('PLSQL');
Good Luck,
Robbert

OWB process flow & Oracle Workflow

Hi,
In order to deploy the OWB process flow packages, is it necessary to have Oracle workflow installed on the Target server? When I tried to deploy a process flow package to the target database (10gR2 db), it required a user called owf_mgr. As far I know, owf_mgr is the admin user for workflow. Can this feature work without OWF being installed?
Thanks for your help

[HELP] ALE inbound process and Workflow handling problem

Hello,
first of all, i have to apologize about my english level. I will try to explain my problem (thanks for your patience ).
Well, I'm implementing an ALE inbound interface. My development at this point are:
- Customer Idoc Inbound function (with correct interface).
- Customer Basic Type
- Customer Message Type and correct assignment to the Basic Type (Tx WE81 and WE82)
- Customer Object Type (Subtype of IDOCAPPL)
- On BD51 I put "1" for my function.
- On WE57 I put this:
Processing by --> My function and type "F"
IDOC type --> My Basic type (without any extension)
Message --> My message type (without any message code or msg. function)
Object --> My object type (subtype of IDOCAPPL)
Direction --> "2" (Inbound)
- I created a process code for this interface (on WE42):
It is processed with ALE service and by a function module (my function).
On "Module(Inboud)" part I put my function and maximun number of repeats "0". On IDOC part I put my Object type with start event "INPUTERROROCURRED" and end event "INPUTFINISHED".
On application objet I put my Object type.
Rests of fields are blank.
- I defined a partner (WE20) with this new message type and process code.
- Also I created a Task (PFTC) for handle exceptions in inbound process. It has a rule for agent determinate.
I think it is all.
My problem is: when I process an IDOC (from WE19 for example) and it gets 51 status (error), it has to launch an event that trigger my task, is this way? Well I'm not getting any event.
I have all Workflow customizations OK (in this systems are running some Workflows).
In my function code, when I detect any error I put an error in the status table and put in WORKFLOW_RESULT the number '99999'.
Why I'm not getting any event? What I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance. Regards.

Hello again,
finally I've solved the problem. The solution for me, was a config on tx. WE42 and some missing code in the function, I only fill WORKFLOW_RESULT with '9999', but I didn't add any register to RETURN_VARIABLES table.
Regards.

Modify process flows using Oracle Workflow

Hi,
I'd like to use Oracle Workflow to enhance the process flows created using Warehouse Builder, as some features are missing if compared with the full-blown Workflow Builder, and it is desired to integrate OWB processes in larger ones. I have successfully applied changes on the Workflow processes generated from OWB but it's not clear how far I can go, especially because I don't want to lose too much of the benefits of the original Workflows:all mapping results should continue to show in the Runtime Audit Browser, and it shouldn't be impossible to deploy the processes in a new environment.
I am worried that when I change the processes manually in Workflow, I lose the possibility to re-deploy automatically from OWB, but this is tolerable as long as the final Workflow processes are maintainable and deployable.
Has anyone tried a similar approach? How much can it be feasible/supported??
regards, Antonio

Jean-Pierre, thank you very much for your reply.
I'm still evaluating what will be done through OWB and what through OWF. However my first attempts were oriented along the lines you suggest, that is to keep the process flows generated by OWB untouched, and use them as building blocks for larger processes. At the moment I am trying to realize what balance gives the best result. One extreme would be to use OMB scripting to wrap mappings in very simple generated processes, deploy them and build all the workflow logic in OWF. The other extreme would be to implement complete workflows through OWB and modify them through Workflow, but I'm sure this would certainly not be supported (as the Workflow developer manual states).
My intent is to use OWF to add some flow logic I find difficult to introduce using OWB, especially for recovery actions, eg I added a join operator to the standard AND and OR, which purpose is to wait that all joining processes complete and than to branch depending on a failure in any process. I don't want the following recovery/logging actions to start unless processing has stopped.
I built such logic very easily throw OWF but it's very involved using OWB, unless I'm missing something...

ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error while configuring ORACLE Workflow

Hi,
I am trying to configure ORACLE Workflow. I have given sys password and other parameters in the given format in Workflow Configuration Assistant.

Thanks in advance
Ajish M.

Thanks a lot for your quick reply.
I've read all the posts mentioned (quite a few more) but I couldn't find any suggested solution to the "non-oracle10g"-problem other than using the global db name instead of the sid - which didn't help in our case:
However, in a last desperate attempt to solve the problem on my own before launching another cry-for-help-post I did try running the configuration assistant using the correct password for the SYS user 8-} and - strange but true - it did work :-)
Needless to say: I used the global db name of course, so I can't say what would have happened without it, but I trust your hint was a legitimate one.
Anyway - I gues that error Message concerning a "non-oracle10g database" was slightly misleading in this case.... grrrr.

Data Creation in Idoc
IDocs are text encoded documents with a rigid structure that are used to exchange data between R/3 and a foreign system. Instead of calling a program in the destination system directly, the data is first packed into an IDoc and then sent to the receiving system, where it is analyzed and properly processed. Therefore an IDoc data exchange is always an
asynchronous process. The significant difference between simple RFC-calls and IDoc data exchange is the fact, that every action performed on IDocs are protocolled by R/3 and IDocs can be reprocessed if an error occurred in one of the message steps.
While IDocs have to be understood as a data exchange protocol, EDI and ALE are typical use cases for IDocs. R/3 uses IDocs for both EDI and ALE to deliver data to the receiving system. ALE is basically the scheduling mechanism that defines when and between which partners and what kind of data will be exchanged on a regular or event triggered basis. Such a set-up is called an ALE-scenario.
IDoc is a intermediate document to exchange data between two SAP Systems.
*IDocs are structured ASCII files (or a virtual equivalent).
*Electronic Interchange Document
*They are the file format used by SAP R/3 to exchange data with foreign systems.
*Data Is transmitted in ASCII format, i.e. human readable form
*IDocs exchange messages
*IDocs are used like classical interface files
IDOC types are templates for specific message types depending on what is the business document, you want to exchange.
WE30 - you can create a IDOC type.
An IDOC with data, will have to be triggered by the application that is trying to send out the data.
FOr testing you can use WE19.

An IDoc is simply a data container that is used to exchange information between any two processes that can understand the syntax and semantics of the data...
1.IDOCs are stored in the database. In the SAP system, IDOCs are stored in database tables.
2.IDOCs are independent of the sending and receiving systems.
3.IDOCs are independent of the direction of data exchange.
The two available process for IDOCs are
Outbound Process
Inbound Process
AND There are basically two types of IDOCs.
Basic IDOCs
Basic IDOC type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be exchanged between two systems.
Extended IDOCs
Extending the functionality by adding more segments to existing Basic IDOCs.
To Create Idoc we need to follow these steps:
Create Segment ( WE31)
Create Idoc Type ( WE30)
Create Message Type ( WE81)
Assign Idoc Type to Message Type ( WE82)

Unable to transform EDI document to XML payload in Oracle B2B inbound op

Hi,
In our current project we would be implementing Oracle B2B.So I am doing simple POC on Oracle B2B inbound operation for a EDI document for a project requirement.Facing issue if Transformation option selected in Oracle B2B console. Would really appreciate if you guys give me some pointer..
Below is short desacription of POC:
1) Created ECS file for Purchase Order(EDI_X12 Standard, 850, Version : 4010) in Spec Builder 6.6.0
2) Created corresponding XSD and dummy test EDI data file(.dat) in Spec Builder 6.6.0
3) In Oracle B2B Console, created Document Type and Document Definition
4) Created 2 Trading Partners : Our Organisation(Host) and MyPartner(Remote)
5) My Partner is Sender and Our Organisation is Receiver
6) Linked Document Type to both Trading Partners
7) Created a Listening Channel
8) Protocol of Listening Channel is Generic File
9) Mentioned Folder Path and File Type : %From PARTY%_%TO PARTY%_%DOCUMENT TYPE NAME_%DOCUMENT REVISION%.dat
10) Agrrement validated and deployed
11)Checked option Transformation for Agreement
12) In SOA Composite created a simple Asynchronous BPEL process
13) BPEL process using a B2B Adapter is subscribed to Document Type(Purchase Order) operatioon Receive and Mode Default
14) Using a simple Assiign activity to map payload
15) BPEL then inoke a File Adapter service to write sme XML payload(picked from B2B fatre EDI transformed to XML) to a file
Issue Faced:
1) B2B could make oput Sender and Receiver Trading Partners
2) B2B could make out the Agrrement
3) B2B is picking up EDI file
4) If Agreemnet has Transformation option selected, then B2B is givinng below Error:
[oracle.soa.b2b.engine] [tid: weblogic.work.j2ee.J2EEWorkManager$WorkWithListener@182461f] [userId: <anonymous>] [ecid: 0000JILzvC2E0Va_xLp2iW1EzqZ_0000pg,0] [APP: soa-infra] [dcid: 162dbcacafdb4641:19e705e4:13495b34174:-7fd3-0000000000000070] java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: com.edifecs.xengine.xeobjects.XEHelper.createN2XNative()Lcom/edifecs/xengine/xeobjects/XEDataProc
at com.edifecs.xengine.xeobjects.XEHelper.createN2XNative(Native Method)
5) It is unable to transfer EDI payload to XML
6) Checked payload in Wire Message : still showing EDI payload
7) Due to this BPEL is facing issue since it is expecting XML payload
8) In BPEL it is givimng Error: Index Out Of bound.. I guess may be due to EDI payload
9) If transformation option unchecked in Agreement in B2B console then B2B working good but BPEl failing
Options Tried:
1) I Exported Repository,then purged design time data and Reimported and restarted Server and tested..not working
2) I also created a Parser Scehma for Blank EDI document(that option I found in Spec Builder 6.6.0==>New Document-->Parser Schema(Blank EDI Document) and then placed that Parser Schema file(ECS file) in folder :
C:\Oracle\Middleware\Weblogic\Oracle_SOA1\soa\thirdparty\edifecs\XEngine\config\schema
and added an entry in XERegistry.xml
<Item Name="SchemaFile">${XERoot}/config/schema/Spec2</Item>
but not working..
3) Checked namespace in XSd and WSDl for BPEL,they are correct
Getting no clue how to resolve..Need help...
Thank you...

Inbound processing is not happening for XMG integration

Currently our project deals with B2B and XMG integration
We are able to send outbound messages to B2B from XMG successfully.
For Inbound messages
1. B2B is picking up payload
2. Identifying Agreement
3. Decrypting and verifies digital signature
but could not deliver the message to ECX_INQUEUE
