Oracle workflow server with linux

In "10g Release 1 (10.1.0.4) Patch Set 2 for Linux x86 Patch Set Notes", it is mentioned that modplsql is not currently supported on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. For this reason, HTML DB and Oracle Workflow are not currently supported on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.
Does this mean that workflow monitor cannot be used? Or workflow server itself cannot be used in Linux?
Is there any workaround for this problem? If I want to abort a process flow execution, is there a way to do it without using workflow monitor? In one of the other postings I saw a reference to abort method of workflow engine but this package does not seem to exist in the workflow server recent versions.
Thanks,

Hi,
The modpl/sql requirement will stop you being able to use the Workflow monitor, but the core functionality of the module will remain unaffected.
To abort a process, the WF_ENGINE package should have a procedure called AbortProcess - I haven't got a Linux installation to check on at the moment, but I;d be surprised if they have removed it, since this is used in a number of processes.
HTH,
Matt

  • Oracle Workflow Server in a SUN machine; and the Oracle

    Hi All
    I have installed Oracle Workflow Server in a SUN machine; and the Oracle
    Workflow Client (Builder) in a WIN2000 machine.
    In the SUN machine, I already had installed Oracle9i and OMS (Oracle
    Management Server) version 9.2.0.1.0.
    In the WINDOWS 2000 machine, I already had installed the Oracle9i
    Client and the OWB (Oracle Warehouse Builder) version 9.0.3.35.0. Workflow
    Builder
    was installed together with Oracle Client components.
    I have a OWB (Oracle Warehouse Builder) project, and I deploy and schedule
    JOBS in OEM.
    Now I need Oracle Workflow in order to better ordering, manage and schedule
    that jobs.
    I'm reading the following documentation:
    Oracle Workflow Guide (Release 2.6.2)
    http://www.csis.gvsu.edu/GeneralInfo/Oracle/workflow.920/a95265.pdf But I think Oracle Workflow is very complex to learn quickly.
    My OWB Project has several mappings that load tables in a Data Warehouse.
    When I deploy these mappings one by one, in OEM, I can execute them in OEM
    and they work well.
    But when I use the Workflow Deployment Wizard, I create a new Workflow
    Project (Item type and Process).
    But I can't Launch this process. I go to Launch Process in Workflow page
    (http://:/pls//) but when I iniciate the project,
    it stops in the OWB Standard Begin Function. It does not go ahead.
    Well, when I use the Workflow Deployment Wizard inside OWB, it generates
    jobs that can
    be viewed inside OEM (Oracle Enterprise Manager) too. But when I submit
    these jobs, I can't get success too.
    Can somebody help me? May you guide me in order to solve my problem, or send
    me some
    documents or links about workflow, and it's integration with OWB and OEM?
    Best regards

    I think this might be more of an OWB question, and how OWB uses workflow, I have sent an email internally to try and get someone to responsd. You should also consider contacting Oracle Support if you are having these kinds of problems.

  • Require Cost /Price of ORACLE Workflow Server ...!

    Thanks,

    You can go to http://www.oracle.com/corporate/contact/ and look for the appropriate contact, and talk to a Sales Representative. A quick answer is that Oracle Workflow is bundled with the Database and iAS Products - so if you have these products, you should have the license for Oracle Workflow.

  • 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.

  • Cannot install Oracle workflow server 2.6.3 for window

    Hi all,
    I have Oracle server on my PC, and create a database instance (with the Data warehouse option).
    I download the Oracle workflow server 2.6.3 from Oracle download page (inside the term Workflow Server of Database). I do modify the init.ora file with the corresponding parameters: aq_tm_processes = 2 and job_queue_processes = 10 as in the Installation Notes before running the Oracle Universal Installer.
    However, I always receive the error (after the analyzing dependencies step: "This is not a 10g Oracle_Home"). It is so weird because the directory specified is the ORACLE SERVER.
    Please Help Me To Figure Out this problem as soon as possible.
    Thanks so much,

  • Oracle Mobile Server with SQLLite/Berkeley Db and dbsql

    Hi all,
    i am not sure if i am correct here but hopefully i am.
    In the past we have had Oracle Mobile Server with Oracle Lite.
    We decided to switch to new mobile Server because oracle webtogo is not longer supported and incompatible with windows 7. My administrator did migration of mobile server but migration utility reported that the available applications are incompatible.
    So I decided to create a completely New Publication with a Java application. The new Publication contains only one publication Item. For the first tests I simply wanted to spool out the data contained in my local database.
    In bin directory of sqlite folder i can find a utility named "dbsql". I understood it in this way that I can attach to an existing database file and take a look into that database.
    If i call dbsql.exe BerkeleyTest all seems to be ok. But if i try to select some data from that file i only get the errormessage that databse is in wrong format or encrypted. What am i doing wrong there?
    Am I right that the sql interface (I need that interface because I dont want to rewrite dataaccesslayer of my app) is only available in sqlite but not on "BerkeleyDb"?
    Is anyone here to help me a little bit with my problem here?
    Regards!
    Martin

    I do not know much about Oracle Mobile Server with Oracle Lite, does it use SQLite or BDB?  I do know that databases created by SQLite cannot be read by Berkeley DB SQL (of which dbsql.exe is part of), and databases created by Berkeley DB SQL cannot be read by SQLite.  Also, databases created by Berkeley DB outside of the SQL API cannot be read by the BDB SQL API.  You can open BDB SQL databases with BDB outside of the SQL API, but I would not recommend that outside of a few BDB utilities described in the documentation.  So if your BerkeleyTest database was created by SQLite or BDB outside of the SQL API, then it makes sense that dbsql.exe is returning an error when trying to read it.
    Calling dbsql.exe BerkeleyTest does not open the database, that happens when the first operation is performed on it, which is why you did not get an error until you tried to select something.

  • How to get standalone Oracle HTTP Server with mod_plsql?

    Hi,
    I do not know if it is just me but it seems to be a nightmare to get OHS with mod_plsql from the official OTN download site. I downoaded the companion CD for Windows - 3 disks, installed OHS - no mod_plsql. Then I tried to find any clue on OTN on how to download mod_plsql - none. Plenty of information on how to configure it and use it, but nothing on how to get it.
    PLSQL gateways is not an option for us because many of our clients do not allow direct communication between the database and the Internet.

    Apex 3.2.1
    RDBMS 10.2.0.4
    Any help appreciated,

    PS.
    I would not like to download the software from unofficial sites but rather get it straight from Oracle.

    For those interested: I found Oracle HTTP Server with mod_plsql on OTN -> downloads -> middleware -> WebCenter suite.

  • Can I use Oracle app server with mysql

    Can I use Oracle app server with mysql. I seem to have the following error when trying to create a datastore. I have mysql.jar in my classpath. Can any one tell me what's wrong.
    Error initializing data-source 'jdbc/topup': DriverManagerDataSource driver 'org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver' not found

    Yes you can forward requests from your own apache to the iAS. This can be done using mod_proxy. Some hints about how to do this are availlable on this forum.
    mod_oc4j is not a standard apache module, and therefore is not availlable when you download apache. There is no apparent reason to use mod_oc4j on a "regular" webserver (unless you want to build your own iAS). Also there might be some licenseing issues with using mod_oc4j module on a standard apache.
    You can encrypt data that is passed from a random Apache to you iAS.

  • Oracle WorkFlow Server (Middle Tier Components)

    To OWB Gurus,
    I'm trying to install Oracle WorkFlow Server to create Process Flows and Schedule for the ETL mappings that I have. When tryin to install WorkFlow Server, it specifies to install Middle-Tier Components. My question is for creating the WorkFlow Process and Scheduling do I need to have the Middle-Tier Components installed? Can I create the flows without the middle tier components ?
    -AW

    You can deploy and run processflows without OWF middle-tier,
    but this component (Workflow monitor) is very helpful for monitoring and control of processflow

  • What do I need for Oracle Http Server with mod_plsql on Linux 64bit?

    I am trying to get the OHS onto a linux box but I am not quite sure I am installing the correct thing!!
    I currently have a windows box running the 10g Application server but everything seems to have changed since then and there seems to be several different things to do with the Fusion Middleware and stuff. I've tried to find an overview in plain english of what all these things are but all I can find are lots of marketing buzzwords!
    All in need to to be able to run the OHS with the mod_plsql so I can run my apex application. I'd be greatfull if someone could point me in the right direction for what I need to install!
    The box it is going on is a CentOS Linux 64bit machine. I've download and installed Oracle WebLogic Server 11g Rel 1 (10.3.3) using the generic installer for the 64 bit java but there seems to be no http server despite it saying there is! Most likely I am doing something wrong but the installer finishes successfully but nothing is running on port 7001.
    Do I actually need the WebTier instead? Is that the best solution for running the OHS with mod_plsql? Do I need the WebLogic install as well? Unfortunately I am fairly new to Linux as well which isn't helping!!
    thanks for any help
    Robert

    Well, you have two options:
    - Use the OHS from the OFM WebTier Utilities distro. (To use 11.1.1.3 version, you need both the 11.1.1.2 and 11.1.1.3 distros)
    - Use the OHS from the DB Companion Disk distro.
    WebLogic Server is a Java EE application with an HTTP server included, but not intended to be used as a replacement of OHS/Apache. It doesn't support mod's...

  • How to integrate Oracle Http Server with Weblogic

    Weblogic supports Apache web server 2.0 and 2.2 to be a proxy server. Oracle Http Server (OHS) is based on Apache 2.0. I am trying to configure Weblogic to use OHS that comes with OAS install as proxy on Linux environment. I am unable to get the WLS plugin for Apache to work with OHS. When I tried to start the OHS, I got the following errors:
    /oracle/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_3/Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl startssl: execing httpd
    Syntax error on line 1125 of /oracle/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_3/Apache/Apache/conf/httpd.conf:
    Cannot load /oracle/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_3/Apache/Apache/libexec/mod_wl128_20.so into server: /oracle/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_3/Apache/Apache/libexec/mod_wl128_20.so: undefined symbol: apr_pool_cleanup_null
    I checked the library, and I found in several places, such as /usr/lib.
    The following is the configuration that I put in http.conf file:
    <IfModule mod_weblogic.c>
    WebLogicCluster 127.0.0.1:7001
    MatchExpression /AIP
    </IfModule>

    DebugConfigInfo ON
    PathTrim /weblogic
    </Location>
    Anybody knows how to fix this?
    Thanks.

    You're right: Weblogic supports Apache web server 2.0 and 2.2 to be a proxy server but you are using Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.1.0 which is based on Apache *1.3* as you can read in "Oracle® HTTP Server Administrator's Guide"
    10g (10.1.3.1.0) - Part Number B28948-01 - 1.1 Oracle HTTP Server Features, right under "Based on Apache - HTTP v1.1 Support" at
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/web.1013/b28948/overview.htm#i1008837.
    As far as I know, the only OHS based on Apache *2.0* is available as a standalone release: "Oracle HTTP Server (Apache 2.0) (10.1.3.3.0) for Linux x86" - 32bit. You can download it from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle11g/111060_linuxsoft.html (as_101330_apache2_lnx.zip).
    I've tested it successfully.

  • Oracle Reports Server on Linux

    To the Oracle Reports Team!
    During the last weeks there were a lot of posts about the not working Reports Server on Linux; the common understanding is: there is a defect in the software.
    As I undestand, you looked to all of them and was busy working on a solution; that's why we did't hear from you for so long, right?
    But now, I (and the other folks) would like to now the afairs's state, please!

  • Installing Oracle App Server on Linux

    Hi,
    Has anyone installed the App Server on Linux? Can they tell me if it was difficult, complicated, etc. bearing in mind that I am not a DBA, and have basically no experiance with this sort of stuff at all. So basically what I am asking is can you stick in the CDs and follow the install guide and get it done in half a day or less.
    Cheers.

    I would say that a half a day is grossly underestimating it, by my experience and what you indicate your level of expertise is. I ended up installing, getting to a fail point, uninstalling and re-doing. Some errors are "recoverable", but some do not seem to be (from my experience). I'd make a few recommendations. I have it installed on Mandrake 8.x (latest release, I think), which seems to be "doable" but I'd recommend going with a certified platform if you don't know what you are doing. Also, Mandrake had some quirks like their security management software which resets file permissions "behind the scenes". This was my first experience with Mandrake so it took me a while to figure out which files to edit/fix so that Enterprise manager would get the right data.
    Read the readme!
    Read the installation docs all the way through!
    Read the release notes all the way through!
    I had a NUMBER of problems, some specific to my platform (which is not certified by Oracle, so it's not their fault) and some which were covered in the readme. It took me a while to get everything right and I ended up struggling most with the Infrastructure install. Most likely that was due to my hardware & OS (Mandrake), but there are some issues in the release notes that are important. The reason I would restart many times is that I wanted the installation to go smoothly from start to finish so that I could better understand the requirements, etc. Examples of issues (which includes things from the readme/release notes and otn):
    - either install PDKSH or link /bin/bash to /bin/ksh. /bin/ksh is listed in one of the scripts as the shell during installation configuration. This should be in the installation guide as a pre-requisite.
    - install the sysstat package so the enterprise manager will show graphs, etc. This should be in the installation guide as a pre-requisite.
    - link (symbolic) your perl binary to /usr/local/bin/perl
    - I received numerous link errors due to two problems:
    - genclntsh didn't have a good link command for my platform. There seems to be two work-arounds posted around here, but I chose to add -lgcc and -L/path/to/gcclib on the ld line. E-mail me if you want more details ([email protected]). My path was something like: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux-gnu/2.96 where I found the libgcc.a
    - Reports server and Forms server failed because the link line was linking to libXm.2.1.so instead of libXm.2.0.1.so (or libXm.2.so, etc). The development team evidently used a later version of Motif than I had, so I fixed it in the forms and reports makefiles, respectively.
    I can't remember, offhand, what else I had to do, but this covers it. Obviously, a lot of this depends upon the type of install you choose. I wanted the reports server, which requires the infrastructure, etc.
    Good luck.
    Jeff
