Oracle Workflow - Process Flow showing as busy

Am working on a Workflow that has several mappings strung together. The Mapping is successfull, but the status shows up as busy.
How can we diagnose/debug?
Same thing is showing up on Workflow Monitor.

Hello Jojo,
Look at one of my previous posts on how to expedite stuck processes:
Re: Process flow stuck while execution - Fork being used
The Workflow documentation on "stuck processes" mentions setting up "Background Workflow Engines" that periodically check for processes that cannot proceed and terminate them.
There has been some OWB-related discussions on this in the Workflow forum, eg:
Re: Engine:  process in NOTIFIED status

  • Process Flow showing as busy - though Complete

    Hi,
    A Process Flow is stuck because one mapping had only two out connections - OK, and Error, but no 'OK with Warning' route. The Process Flow was then moved forward by using 'Expediate'. The Process Flow completed, but the Status in the Runtime Audit Browser still shows the status of the Process flow as busy.
    How can this status be reset to complete?
    - Jojo

    Hi
    Use the following scripts from ORAHOME\owb\rtp\sql to complete your process flow in OWB:
    1. list_requests.sql : list the busy runnings
    2. deactivate_execution.sql : deactivate your process flow
    3. deactivate_execution.sql : set status to complete your process flow

  • Process Flow with Status Busy

    Hello
    In Warehouse Builder Browser I have one Process Flow with Status Busy. I have restarded the whole server and status is still Busy.
    Through Oracle Workflow I try to Find Active Processes and there just is no one.
    Why is my Process Flow still Busy and how do I stop it? (Maybe the there is an error in Warehouse Builder Browser, it is not busy?)
    Best regards,
    Tina

    Just logout and login into Warehouse Builder Browser again. It is not busy any more ;-).

  • FTP error in oracle workflow process

    Hi All,
    I have written a workflow process which deletes a file on FTP. The process is deleting the file but is showing a warning message. Does anybody have a idea regarding this. One more thing even if file is not found the process completion status is successful. Its status should be error.
    The ftp site is on the same machine as owb server.
    The following values have been passed
    Command: ftp
    Parameter List: /-A/localhost/
    Success Threshold: 0
    Script: delete filename
    Output Message Received:
    Starting Execution ETN_DELETE_FILE
    Starting Task ETN_DELETE_FILE
    Starting Task ETN_DELETE_FILE:FTP
    Completing Task ETN_DELETE_FILE
    Anonymous login succeeded for [email protected]
    WARNING: Log file truncated - see RAB for further information.
    Completing Execution ETN_DELETE_FILE
    Please let me know about this.
    Thanks & Regards

    I am not saying your method is not correct, but if you give a shot to go with User Defined Activity. Yep that's correct , just write line in a shell script and call that script in user defined activity.
    Property values
    command ksh
    script     pathname with that script file name (/tst/usr/script/filename.ksh)
    or
    command     mv
    parameter_list     pathname with that filename
    I feel this is very simple and easy to manage too.

  • Process Flow for the Business Scenario

    Hi,
    The scenario is service industry ex. House keeping service.
    We are using Project system module for the above service industry. The modules which are being implemented apart from PS are SD, MM, FICO and HR.
    The Project duration is normally 1 year. The client requirements are as follows:
    1) Quotation price should be based on the planned cost of the project (No Inquiry)
    2) Create a Contract once Quotation is approved.
    3) Month wise billing based on actuals of resource and materials consumed for the project.
    As per my understanding, Resource related billing and Easy cost planning to be used. Pl let me know whether this is correct and let me also know how to handle the above scenario.
    Rgds,
    Prasad

    Hi,
    You are correct that you need to do resource related billing for your requirement.
    Basically, In your scenario, once you get a go ahead from PS, you will be able to create a contract.
    You can use the standard contract document type and assign the WBS element created in PS to it either at header level or at item level depending on your requirement.
    Create a DIP profile in PS.
    Create a new item category and attach this DIP profile to your item category. Based on this the system will be able to identify that RRB needs to be performed on this material.
    You can post the costs in PS or FI using various activity types. Once the costs are posted to the activity type, you can run RRB by using transaction DP90.
    (This will bring on all the costs which are associated with this line item/WBS element.)
    Then in DP90 you can create a billing request, this will create a debit memo, and then you can do a billing to this debit memo.
    Thanks

  • Mapping complete - process flow busy

    Hi all,
    I've a problem with a process flow I've imported from another server.
    If I run this process flow in the testing server it runs and complete without problems.
    Now, I've imported this process flow in the production server but it doesn't complete. In Audit browser I see that all mappings have "complete" status but the process flow is still busy after 1 hour.
    In the process flow there are 7 mappings and 3 user defined operations that use shell scripts.
    What I've missed?
    Oracle and OWB 11gR1
    OS: Sles 10
    Thanks
    Gul.

    Hi Gul,
    We are using OWB 11.1 and we've experienced the same thing.
    We solved this by:
    - adding an index on the runtime repository
    - clean up the runtime audit tables
    - collect statistics on the runtime tables
    There should be plenty information about the step above.
    If you're not familiair with it, then I can include it in a next message.
    - check the process flows for errors.
    We found out that some process flows got corrupted after export-import.
    Some transitions had flase numbering.
    Example: a mapping had an success (0), error (1) and warning (1).
    The error and warning lines had the same number.
    After correcting this the flows worked correctly.
    Regards,
    Emile

  • PROCESS FLOW FOR LOOP IN BUSY STATE

    Hi,
    I have designed a process flow, in which FOR loop has been incorporated,within the loop FTP activity along with check of file exsistence is done, if file does not exsist ,it again tries to perform successful FTP, else map the file to table and assigns some value to loop variable so that it exits from the loop.
    The problem is that, although FTP has been done successfully, and file has been found, even mapping has been done sussefully, and in the repository browser it shows COMPLETE EXIT for the loop, but the process flow goes into busy state, with all tasks performed well.
    Please help how to end the process flow.

    I am also facing the similar issue, The process is complete, but the process flow is not stopping, though the seperate exit condition is put. Are you using ver. 11 ?

  • Integrating Workflow Process and Business Events

    Hi,
    Im trying to use events in oracle workflow process..im trying to run the demo
    process named 'Workflow Agent Ping / Acknowledge'. I have scheduled the listeners for local inbound agent WF_IN and propagations for local outbound agents WF_OUT. The master ping process begins executing and calls the detail ping process. The detail ping process begins execution but the process gets stuck on the receive event node.The process is not receiving the acknowledge event in return to the ping event. It does not move further,not allowing the detail ping process to complete, which as a result doesnot allow the master ping process to complete its execution.
    How do i make it move?
    Thankyou
    Saadia

    After launching the master process, check for the state of the message in WF_OUT queue. It could be that the message stays in READY state in WF_OUT and has not propagated to WF_IN queue.
    Check if DB init parameters aq_tm_processes is set to 1 and it is running. If the message is not found in WF_OUT even after launching the proces, check if the queue is enabled for enqueue. Also check if the Business Event System is ENABLED.
    SELECT text
    FROM wf_resources
    WHERE name = 'WF_SYSTEM_STATUS';

  • Problem with execution of process flow

    Hello! I'm new in OWB, and I hope you will help me.
    I started execution of process flow and then connection to my server failed.
    The problem is: In Runtime Audit Browser all mappings are complete, but process flow is in "Busy" status. I waited for 24h, and nothing changed. (execution of mappings costed 4h).
    what should I do?

    Hi,
    Use any SQL tool like TOAD and see from the backend if the OWB process is running, if it is still running, kill it. Due to server connection failure the OWB process might have been killed but the Runtime Browser might show it as busy.
    Go the Workflow Repository Schema and run the following query:
    update wf_item_activity_statuses set activity_status = 'COMPLETE'
    where item_type = <Your Process Flow Package Name> and actvity_status != 'COMPLETE'.
    This should solve the problem.
    Regards

  • Process Flow Error

    I ran into a problem with one of my process flows, within my staging area. I have not had this problem before. My process flow looks as follows:
    --- > Map2
    --- > Map3
    --- > Map4
    Map1 --- > Fork --- > Map5 --- > AND --- > Map 9 --- > Map10 --- > Map11 …
    --- > Map6
    --- > Map7
    --- > Map8
    Mappings 1 through 8 ran successfully and populated their staging tables. The process flow showed success of mappings 9 through 16 (the last one) and successful completion of the process flow. However Mapping 9 was still extracting data and had not yet loaded its staging table. I was watching the execution in OEM. Mappings 10 through 16 did not execute after completion of Mapping 9.
    This is a weekly large data load into our data warehouse so I will not be able to run this process flow again until this weekend. Map 9 was running with a degree of parallelism of 16, if it matters, and did not fail.
    Has anyone run into this issue before?
    Thanks.

    Scottperhaps there's an error at MAPPING before MAPPING10, but it's not detected
    I suggest you to add 2 transitionto COMPLETE ERROR and COMPLETE WARNING
    from MAP1; AND; MAP9, MAP10, MAP11, ...
    and fill the transition; enumerate ERROR for ERROR, enumerate WARNING for WARNING,
    and the other line; enumerate SUCCESS
    --- > Map2
    --- > Map3
    --- > Map4
    Map1 --- > Fork --- > Map5 --- > AND --- > Map 9 --- > Map10 --- > Map11 …
    --- > Map6
    --- > Map7
    --- > Map8
    so you can know what MAPPING that doesn't success, and you can test it manually with control center, to know the error message
    Thanks

  • EMail and SQLPLUS activity in process flow

    Hi Guys,
    I am struggling to get the email activity working. I entered all the details but no email is sent?
    Secondly, I had an easy sql plus script that I pasted into the script property box
    But the sqlplus just does not execute?
    truncate table xxx;
    quit
    Any ideas?

    Make sure there are no spaces after you have replaced DISABLED with NATIVE_JAVA.
    Any space after the NATIVE_JAVA will not work.
    Can you give details like what are you using Script or Parameter list etc ?
    Did you configure the deployed location for the SQLPLus parameter ??
    Regarding Your EMAIL -
    Is your process flow showing any error regarding email ??
    Create a simple process flow with email activity only.
    Set FROM_EMAIL , TO_EMAIL , SUBJECT ,MESSAGE_BODY, SMTP_SERVER , PORT
    SMTP_SERVER and PORT values are very important.
    Check connection to SMTP_SERVER by running the following command on dos prompt
    telnet smtp_server_name port
    If this works this means your smtp server is working. Now just deploy and run your processs flow.
    If it still doen't send you email, check whats in the log.
    The log should give you any errors regarding email like ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_TCP", line 17 ,etc (if any).
    Thanks,
    Sam.

  • Query on Planning WorkFlow Process

    Hi Guys,
    I have a query on Planning WorkFlow Process i.e Two Business Units are willing to do their Budgeting & Forecasting Process in different periods.
    I would like to bring first one process for this and I would like to grant access for these two business units accordingly.
    Will it be any problem doing like this? If not please suggest me what is the best approach for this.

    Hello Suvin,
    You can try to check the value for your return sales order with T-code MB51
    Go to MB51  Enter Movement type 651 execute..
    Next screen Press Ctrl + Shift + F12 . It will take you to next screen..
    In this screen use Ctrl + F8, you will get field Column selection Popup..
    in that Choose " Amount in LC" & Sales Value.
    With this you will get the value. If the value is Zero then it means that the return stock from customer is non valuated.
    Note:
    T.Code MB52 : Display Warehouse stock of Material in Hand.
    App:lication
    You use this report to display the total stock of a material (quantity and value) at plant and storage location level. If transit stocks or stock transfer stocks exist at plant level, the system totals these stocks and displays them in the column In Stock Transfer in a stock line without a storage location.
    Note that in this report, the stock value of the warehouse stock is calculated using the following simplified formula:
    Stock value = quantity x value/valuated stock
    Therefore the stock value specified here only has informal characters and does not represent the actual stock value.
