Oracle Workflow management

Do you know of any guidelines / best practices regarding management of hundreds of Item Types in an Oracle Workflow instance?
Is there any other organisation that can be applied on top of the trivial Item Type / Processes hierarchy?
Thanks.

I do not believe this is the appropriate forum for this question. Sorry.

Oracle Workflow Manager, Agent Listener, and Java Mailer problem

Hi,
I am not sure this topic to this forum, since this might be installation issue.
But I am hitting a big wall.
I had Windows 2000 SP4.
I have already installed Oracle Database 10gR1, Oracle Developer 10gR2, and Oracle Workflow 2.6.3 Standalone previously.
Including :
- Oracle Workflow Server 2.6.3
- Oracle Workflow Builder 2.6.3.5
- Apache HTTP Server 9.0.4
- Workflow Middle Tier
Anything seems to right, including the Notification Mailer and the Business Event.
And I had also made backup of them surely.
Now,
I'd like to change into Oracle Database 10gR2 because :
1. Some errors I found when I tried to call a Report from Oracle Form.
Unable to connect to Report Server ...
I thought Oracle Database 10gR1 is not suitable for Oracle Developer 10gR2.
2. And in the OWF 2.6.3 Workflow Home Page, there was no Logout button (which I found in OWF 2.6.4)
I removed my previous installation including Oracle Workflow.
After strugglineg in the installation of Oracle Database 10gR2, now I am facing another problem with Oracle Workflow.
I succesfully installed Oracle Workflow 2.6.4 Server and Oracle Workflow Manager (standalone version),
and the Oracle Workflow Middle Tier.
After I launch Oracle Workflow Configuration Assisstant, everthing seems to be normal.
I succed to open the Oracle Workflow Home Page (and found the Logout button there)
Next, I tried to navigate to the Oracle Workflow Manager.
1. I start the OC4J_Workflow_Management_Container --> initialized
2. OC4J_Workflow_Component_Container
The following error line appeared in the OC4J command prompt
06/05/26 10:31:40 LOG_ID_UNKNOWN : oracle.apps.fnd.cp.gsc.Logger.Logger(String,
int) : Logging to System.out until necessary parameters are retrieved for Logger
to be properly started.

06/05/26 10:33:57 Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE 10g (9.0.4.1.0)
initialized
3. finally it initialized
Next I tried to go to Oracle Workflow Manager from related link of Enterprise Manager
It is said that the OWF_MGR is locked
(I surprised since I had UNLOCKED the OWF_MGR after the installation and succeed to login at the Workflow Home Page)
And the following error line appeared in the commaned prompt after that
06/05/26 10:35:03 OrionCMTConnection not closed, check your code!
06/05/26 10:35:03 Logical connection not closed, check your code!
06/05/26 10:35:03 (Use -Djdbc.connection.debug=true to find out where the leaked
connection was created)
4. I re-UNLOCK the OWF_MGR and login to Oracle Workflow Manager
I noticed that the Agent Listener and Notification Service is Unavailable
(In OWF 2.6.3, The Agent Listener was started and Notification Service was waiting to be configured)
I tried to start one of the Agent Listener, but the following error appeared
ERROR: The Service Component Container is not running
Well, I had the same problem when installing the OWF 2.6.3
I tried to uninstall (remove) and re-install it like I had done before in OWF 2.6.3
(based on someone's post in Oracle's forum)
But this time, the re-installation won't fix this problem. (It was succeed in the OWF 2.6.3)
Everytime I start the OC4J, using wfmgrstart.bat and wfsvcstart.bat
the OWF_MGR is re-LOCKED(TIME) automatically.
And the servlet (WFALSNRSVC and WFMLRSVC) are not running.
I am worry, since I cannot use the Notification Mailer if this problem had not fixed yet.
(In OWF 2.6.3, the mailer was not available until those servlet is Started)
Sorry for the long post.
Any help would be grateful.
Many thanks,
Buntoro

Hi,
Finally, I have found the solution.
Step :
1. Start all of the Oracle Service, except for the OC4J
If you have already started OC4J, then stop them
Unlocked the <wf_manager_user>
2. Search in your Oracle Home : data-sources.xml
There should be two files,
one is in the ...\OC4J_Workflow_Component_Container\application-deployments\WFALSNRSVCApp
the other is in ...\OC4J_Workflow_Component_Container\application-deployments\WFMLRSVCApp
3. Make sure, you create back up of them.
4. Replace the following line
password="->pwForOwfMgr"
with
password="<your_wf_manager_password>",
should be look like this
password="a"
5. Now start the OC4J using wfmgrstart.bat and wfsvcstart.bat
6. Next, login to the Oracle Workflow Manager
This worked for me.
Hope this will help someone who has the same problem.

Hi, I have tried in two separate environments to create a new workflow farm and am getting the same error. I have already installed the Feb CU for both workflow manager and the service bus. I rebooted all servers after installing.
I noticed a message in the UI saying "Configuration operation failed. Please drop databases and use ‘Create a New Farm’ again." When I look in SQL Management Studio no databases have been created. The new farm wizard fails on the first step.
Any ideas on a fix for this? Changing the format of the account as above didn't work for me. I am using a SQL alias on my server, would this cause any problems? When I test the connection to the DB from the wizard all tests pass.

Oracle Workflow Manager not working

hi
I have a problem concerning Oracle Workflow Manager.
When I access Oracle Workflow Manager,all workflow system are down e.g (Notification Mailers,Agent Listeners,Service Components,Background Engines,Purge and Control Queue Cleanup).
I tried several alternatives but was not successful.
I really need your help because we are going life in 2 weeks time?

Oracle Workflow Manager

I can't seem to find any doc on OWF 2.6.4 and having two separate Targets to maintain in OWF.
It seems that when I exported my development mdl to my production workspace and attempted to deploy my process flows to the new target that workflow manager started to freak out a bit by not working correctly in my development environment.
I didn't change my names for the process flows and perhaps I have to, but I can't seem to find any doc that says that.
Do I need to have a separate OWF schema for each workspace?
Is there any documentation on this that I am just bypassing.
thanks much
greG

If you have a production and a development owb schema on the same database, if you concede that a slight change in your production environment, (Changing the names of all process flows) is ok, then you can have the configuration of a development and production schema on the same database. This will use the one OWF instance and things will be happy once more. Thanks so much for the help in pointing out what my problem was and a solution, it caused me to scratch my head a bit and come up with a work around for now.
OWF can only be on a database one time. The owf_mgr schema can only appear once. Even thought OWB lets you appear to setup more than one OWF schema really you can not have more than one, so you must change the names of the target process flows if you are going to have your production and development schemas on the same database.

Start OWB Process Flow Schedule Job in Workflow Manager

I am trying to get the Oracle Workflow Schedule to execute my Oracle Warehouse Builder (OWB) Process Flow. Please note that execute Process Flow from the OWB deployment manager works fine. I did the following but nothing being executed:
Info:
OWB: 10g
Oracle DB: 10g
Oracle Workflow: 2.6.3
OracelAS: NONE
1. From the Oracle Workflow Manager browser, click the Background Engines->Submit New
2. Insert the following parameter:
Work Item Type: LD_STG
Run Date and Time: 10/18/2004 17:40:00
Run Every: 0 days, 00 hours, 01 minutes, 00 seconds
3. Click ok and system showed "Successfully submitted Background Engine with job number 107"
However, after the specificied schedule time, nothing happened. No error shown in the Work Item.
Any help are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Replacing Oracle WorkFlow

Hi,
The client, I am working for don't want to use Oracle Workflow for some reason.
But I need Oracle Workflow Manager Schema to deploy my Process flows. So is there a way to deploy the Process flows without the Oracle Workflow Manager Schema? Is there any script which can do that?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Harsha

Hello, OWB process flows can be run in an XPDL compliant workflow engine, if you deploy to XML and then load the generated files. The question is, with what do you want to replace Oracle Workflow... You can even run a sequence of mappings directly without any workflow software, maybe through a shell script or a stored procedure, but this works only if you don't have complex flows.
If you need more info about the XPDL standard and other workflow engines (open source and commercial), see www.wfmc.org.
Hope this helps - Antonio

Where should we install Oracle Workflow Server?

Hi,
We are using Oracle Warehouse Builder 10G R1.
We installed Runtime Repository in oracle databae 10.2
We installed Oracle Workflow server 2.6.3.5 in separate oracle datbase 10.2.
What I mean to say is, we installed Runtime Repository in one database instance and Oracle Workflow manager in separate datbase instance.
Here my concern is whether both Runtime Repository and Wokflow server should be installed based on the same datbase? Or can we install on differnt datbases?
will it be fine?
Any suggestions are welcome?
Thank you,
Regards,
Gowtham Sen.

We run our workflow server and owb repository on a different machine than our DW instance. The main benefit being that we can do maintenance independently. Our OWF implementation is pretty benign as resources are concerned.
Our development server contains two instances for UAT and DEV, OWB repositories, and a single OWF implementation using the DEV instance. It runs perfectly fine, and if budget concerns were an issue I would have ran OWF, OWB and DW DB on the same instance in production.
However we do have an issue with the single OWF implementation on our DEV/UAT server. When we deploy the process flows in UAT it invalidates the process flows in DEV. Easy workaround though: Redeploy flows in DEV ( invalidates UAT). I haven't found a permanent solution around that.

Oracle Workflow configuration in ADF for Approval Management

Hi,
Is there anyway to integrate the oracle workflow with ADF application so that we can have approval process also just like Self Service transaction.
If not then how can we achive the approval management in ADf based application.
Thanks,
Tarun

Tarun,
There are no "steps" per se. You develop an application, and in that application you can use the workflow API's to do stuff. The app we built encapsulated everything into PL/SQL stored procedures, so we just called stored procs from service methods in ADF application modules to do what we needed to do. Sorry I don't ahve anything more detailed to share, but it really is just "develop a custom application that happens to use workflow APIs." If you had a specific question, I'd be happy to try to answer.
I did not try to use AME, so I cannot comment on that. As far as I know, the "classic" Oracle Workflow product has been desupported for use in standalone applications, so if I were doing this today, I would not be developing new applications using Oracle Workflow, but would be using the capabilities in SOA Suite.

Oracle Workflow VS Oracle Approvals Management

Hi,
I am new to Oracle Apps. I would like to know the difference between Oracle Workflow and Oracle Approvals Management. I a bit confused. Why we need to have Oracle Approvals Management module if the same can be achieved through Oracle Workflow. Am I missing sometiing here.
Thanks
IB

Hi
I'll try to explain the difference. Workflow is the background process which is followed by the self service transaction. The workflow consists of a series of tasks or functions and exh function will return a 'result'. The routhe through the workflow process will depend on the rersults. For example, if the workflow task is 'validate input' and the result can be 'valid' or 'invalid', after this taks the workflow will follow either the 'valid' path or the 'invalid' path. Eventually, the workflow will reach an 'end' task when the tranaction is complete.
AME is a process of determining approvers dynamically from the transaction data, or during the transaction. AME is called in different ways from each module in the e-Business Suite. In HR for example, it is usually called during the 'review' process. It will execute a rule based on conditions (which must be true). The conditions are in turn based on the values of attributes you define in AME. Effectively, you can define a business rule such as IF ORGANIZATION = ABC THEN APPROVERS ARE FIRST 2 SUPERVISORS IN SUPERVISOR HIERARCHY.
AME is usually embedded into a workflow task.
I hope that explains it in simple (relatively non-technical) terms!

Tim

Clicking on workflow from oracle applications manager getting directed to http instead of https

Oracle DB:11.2.0.3.0
Oracle Apps: 12.1.3
O/S: Sun Solaris
Hi All,
We are facing s strange issue - Whenever we click on workflow from oracle applications manager, it's getting directed to http instead of https?
Could anyone please share the fix to the above issue.
Thanks for your time.
Regards,

I've noticed that lsmod | grep agp gives me this output:
intel_agp 25436 1
agpgart 29332 2 drm,intel_agp
Is alright to see the intel_agp module or should I use ati_agp?
That module is motherboard dependent or VGA dependent?
Edit:

Confusion with a current state of Oracle Identity Management

I would like to know if anyone has successfully implemented the complete suite of IdM. If yes, please share this experience. I want to clarify the definition of "successful integration". It should include the following:
- SSO for Partner applications
- SSO for External (third parties) applications
- Provisioning and Synchronization
- Delegated Administration
- WNA with Kerberos
- SAML implementation (optional)
I would appreciate all answers on this subject

To restart from your initial question, it's quite strange because the components you mention are all included in the AS10g Enterprise Edition or in AS10g Portal, and are perfectly integrated. I know numerous customers which use Oracle Portal, for instance, and leverage on SSO (patner or external), Delegated Administration (DAS) , Synchro with AD server and Windows native authentication, without a single line of specific code. Provisioning is done automatically by DIP in the case of Portal with AD, as well, or with a Human resource system. Even the password synchro can be made betwwen AD and OID (Oracle LDAP)
Now, it's a sligthy different discussion if we consider the recent acquisitions made by Oracle, and which are sold in the so call : Oracle Identity management 10g.
OAM (previously Oblix) is a more ambitious product that Oracle SSO.
OIM (provisioning and identity management) is far more sophisticated than Oracle DIP.
The goal, for Oracle, is to unify the workflow engine and the Human interface (with ADF). This task is probably on the rails for the next year.
OVD (previously OctetSting) is an architectural component which allow virtualisation of LDAP server.
About Federation, OIF allow all existing Oracle Portal customer (using SSO) to rely on SAML tokens in order to trust partners site.
So, in my opinion, acquisitions oblige to make a substantial effort to unify human interface and make arbitration between some concepts, but it's within the Oracle means.

Custom Workflow using Oracle Workflow in ContentDB

Hi,
Could we use custom workflow which is made using Oracle Workflow instead of BPEL.
Regards,
Yulisar

Having registered custom workflows for Content DB via Enterprise Manager, potentially you can use any tool capable of dequeuing/enqueing messages from the IFS_BPEL_OUT/IFS_BPEL_IN advanced queues as part of a custom workflow process.
By default, we assume you are using Oracle BPEL PM with its Advanced Queue adapater to process the queue messages. However, there is nothing stopping using Oracle Workflow or any tool for that matter.
HOWEVER!!! Warning!!! There is a high probability that Content DB will drop the bundled Oracle Worflow installation in the near future. What this means, is that you should consider installing/configure/patching your own separate Oracle Workflow installation and not rely on the bundled Content DB solution which is used internally for Serial and Parallel Approval workflows.
thanks,
Matt.

OPM/Oracle Order Management

What are the pro's and con's of switching from OPM Order Fulfillment to Oracle Order Management?
We use Order Fulfillment now and are concern we will lose the profile functionality when and if we upgrade.

OPM Order Fulfillment is a simple to use Order Entry and Shipping application that meets the needs of many process manufacturers.
Oracle Order Management is more flexible and configurable to suit a number of different industries. Oracle Process Manufacturing is integrated
to Order Management and has functionality to support entry of order quantities in two units of measure, as well as designation
of a preferred quality grade and automatic allocation of process inventory.
In place of the Order Profile (or order template) functionality available in Order Fulfillment, we recommend using the Copy Order
functionality in Order Management. You can establish a special order type in Order Management (you can call it Template or
Profile) and assign a workflow to the order type that makes it "non-transactable" (the order stays in an "entered" state so that
it can't be booked or shipped). You can query on these special order types and copy them to create standard orders. When you
copy an order in Order Management, you can change the order type, so the Template order can be copied and the new order
type can be "Standard".
