Oracle Workflow Vote Yes/No Activity problems

Hi,
I am new to Oracle Workflow and trying to
solve this problem: I set up a process which
includes the Vote Yes/No Activity (notification).
The notification should be
sent to a role (a group of users) and I want
all users to respond before the process
proceed to the next step. However, as soon
as one user responds to his notification, the
process proceeds to the next step without
waiting for all user responses. I have
made sure that I checked the "Expand Roles"
checkbox for the notification. I have also
set the "Voting Option" attribute to
"Wait for all votes". However, the workflow
engine still does not wait for all votes
before proceeding. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any help/suggestions. I am using
Workflow 2.6 and Workflow builder 2.6 with
and Oracle 8.1.7 database.
Irene

At this point, after many tries, I am
convinced that the Vote Yes/No Activity in
Oracle Workflow 2.6 is not working according
to the Oracle documentation (specifically,
the activity does not wait for all votes
to be casted before proceeding).
Is there some web URL where I can see a list
of bugs for Oracle Workflow? Is there a URL
where I can download Oracle Workflow patches?
And if there are any Oracle guys out there,
I would love to hear from you if you can
get the Vote Yes/No Activity working.
Thanks,
Irene

  • Oracle Workflow WF_IN Listener doesn't dequeue message

    <p>
    I'm using Oracle Interconnect 10g (ver. 10.1.2.2) and has been struggle trying to make the workflow WF_IN listener to work and have no luck so far.
    </p>
    <p>
    I have done the following:<br>
    1. Create a Service Components for Workflow Inbound Listener from Oracle Application Server Control 10g.<br>
    2. Create WF_IN Listeners from Oracle Workflow Setup Check All homepage<br>
    3. Create 3 Event Subscriptions from Oracle Workflow homepage:<br>
    a. Event: oracle.apps.wf.event.agent.create<br>
    b. Event: oracle.apps.wf.event.event.create<br>
    c. Event: oracle.apps.wf.event.subscription.create<br>
    4. Create Oracle Workflow Publish and Subscribe Activity Event from iStudio and deploy them to Oracle Workflow
    </p>
    <p>
    Regardless, the message that is in WF_IN Queue is always in ready state (state 0) and never dequeued. I have no idea what steps am I missing here. It just seems that the listener I created doesn't work or maybe not configure properly. So, if anybody can help me out here, I really appreciate. Here is the screenshot of the configuration I mentioned above.
    </p>

    Edward, you see, when you create WF_IN Listener from Oracle Workflow Setup Check All homepage, really they implemented as database JOBs.
    So, connect to database as sys and select from DBA_JOBS, look if there is any job with text ("what" column) like "Wf_Event.Listen('WF_IN')".
    If there is one or several - check there status, if they are working correctly (broken = 'N', failures = 0).
    If broken = 'Y' or failures > 0, than you have problems with them!
    In this case check if you have set database parameters job_queue_processes=10, and aq_tm_processes=1 as recommended for Workflow.
    If it does not help, try to execute dequeue comment manually:
    begin
    Wf_Event.Listen('WF_IN');
    end;
    Good luck!

  • Oracle Workflow Monitor

    I've seen plenty of references to Oracle Workflow Monitor, but I've never paid much attention. Yesterday I got an error message from Control Center that instructed me to use Oracle Workflow Monitor to solve my problem (a process was running and needed to be shut down before regenerating).
    But how to I use Oracle Workflow Monitor? Is it installed by default when OWF was initially installed with OWB? What URL do I use access it? If it does not run after the conventional OWB install, is there a How-To document available for configuring it?
    To be clear, OWF seems to be set up and working. I have created and run process flows successfully. I've just experienced a weird problem that Control Center cannot seem to handle -- and I'm looking for answers. Frankly, I'm mystified at the lack of information on Oracle Workflow Monitor given that OWB error messages reference it and plenty of people seem to discuss it in technical forums.
    Thanks,
    David

    Thanks Robert!
    We are using OWB 11 on Oracle 11, but I'm going to press on and ask our DBA to install the OWF mid-tier components from the 10g Companioin CD. I don't think workflow has changed and so I'm hopeful.
    (If anybody has experience, please chime in for the record.)
    Thanks again!

  • Calling Shell script activity in Oracle Workflow.?

    Hi,
    I am using Oracle Workflow for executing OWB Mappings.
    I also defined user defined activities to call shell scripts. It is working fine
    But whenver the shell script executes for more than one day, work flow is not proceeding further even though, the shell script execution completed.
    I have to manually skip that activity as success.
    Did anyone face this type of problem?
    Thanks in advance.
    Thank you,
    Regards,
    Gowtham Sen.

    Hi Matt,
    I have seen your previous replies to the posts.
    I think, the problem which I am getting is may be with TIMEOUT. Once the day crosses, the even the shell activity is completed, the workflow is not recognizing its completion.
    I am using Oracle Warehouse builder. In I am using process flow editor to create workflows.
    I verified for the options of changing timeouts. I couldnot able to get any.
    Could you please help me, How I could set those values in backend.
    Thanks in advance.
    Thank you,
    Regards,
    Gowtham Sen.

  • Oracle Workflow Problem

    Hello Gurus,
    I'm using oracle workflow builder 2.6, i created a workflow called 'HR_SIT_JSP_PRC_DTV_ZNZ' but it was giving me some problems so i deleted it, but now when i want to create a new workflow it is giving me the following errors:
    "1302: Loaded definition was incomplete. Although this definition may be edited and saved, it cannot be run until references to non-existent objects are corrected or the missing objects are added."
    "1303: Reference to non-existent activity 'HRSSA/HR_SIT_JSP_PRC_DTV_ZNZ' in process 'HRSSA/ROOT' step label 'HR_SIT_JSP_PRC_DTV_ZNZ'."
    the workflow builder lets me create a new workflow but the moment i save it i get the above message and the workflow builder freezes and closes not allowing me to save the new workflow.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Tasneem.

    The error is reated to Sql Loader.
    Try to execute the individual unit .
    are they working properlly?

  • Find activity id in an Oracle Workflow Item Type

    Dear all,
    I am having a problem locating the activity id
    in order to use it with Wf_Engine.GetActivityAttrText(itemType, itemKey, actId, parameter_name) function.
    Any ideas? Thanx in advance

    Hi,
    All PL/SQL stored procedures that are called by function or notification activities in an Oracle Workflow process should follow this standard API format so that the Workflow Engine can properly execute the activity.
    This standard API has the activity id passed as an "IN" parameter
    procedure &lt;procedure name&gt; (itemtype in varchar2,
    itemkey in varchar2,
    actid in number,
    funcmode in varchar2,
    resultout out varchar2)
    So, in the procedure, you have access to the activity ID.
    Hope this helps,
    Raja

  • 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

    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="-&gt;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.

  • How to use java api for function activity in embed oracle workflow?

    The Java Function Activity Agent is not certified for Oracle Workflow embedded in Oracle Applications. Installing standalone workflow should be a lot easier than what you have found, although it looks like you did hit a Pentium 4 issue with the Oracle Universal Installer. I suggest you contact Oracle Support or Oracle Consulting for assistance.

    We are developing an application using Oracle Workflow in which we are simulating the process of deleting a user from several systems. In one of the steps of the process we have to invalidate the user in MS Active Directory.
    Using OID it's possible to do that? Any clues on how to do it?
    Thanks In Advice.

    adi,
    Yes, the Change User Password workflow is called even if the user logged in using "forgot my password" questions.
    By default, IDM commits the user passwords before the "Change User Password" WF is called (unless you set the deferCommit option), so the problem may be that your function isn't getting called or receiving valid input. Can you verify that your code is actually called?
    The workflow goes like this: (1) Start; If there's an uncommitted password view (there isn't by default) -> (2) CommitView -> (3) Now reprovision the user.
    If you're depending on the transition to CommitView, that may be why your code isn't being called.

  • Workflow Process stuck in Active status

    Hi,
    My workflow stuck in Active status and user is not able to proceed further. But it is not happening every time. Sometimes the process activty gets stuck. Could anyone please let me know the reason for this behaviour and how to fix this issue?
    Thanks

    You need to get more information as to what is going on, identify more facts around the issue:
    1. First off, run wfstat.sql to get a history of the activities of the process as well as its attribute values.
    2. Once the workflow gets 'stuck' what makes it progress? For instance, does running the background engine with parameter Stuck processes=Yes fix the problem?
    3. Are there activities deferred that do not get process by the background engine?
    4. Does the process get stuck after a notification is responded to but 'nothing' happens?
    It would also be useful to have the complete DB version.
    Regards,
    Alejandro

  • Oracle Workflow Erroring on Function/Shell Script

    We are in the process of upgrading databases and reimported all the OWB code into the new database.
    Currently our OWB mappings all seem to run ok, but when I try to run a process flow I am hitting the following error
    RPE--2075: Oracle Workflow failed to process the execution request for activity LD_EDW_MAIN:F_GET_DB_NAME. This may be because dependant objects have not yet been deployed. ORA-20010
    F_GET_DB_NAME is a function and I checked and I see that the function executes properly
    I also hit a similar error when trying to execute a shell script.
    How would I go about deploying a function or a shell script?
    Im relatively new to OWB and am being "force fed" learning since we lost our main OWB colleague.
    Thank you

    Thanks! for your reply.
    I am using this API outside the workflow.I am using this API for iExpense to approve an Expense Report. In Expenses Workflow below are the processes:
    1. AP_MANAGER_APPROVALPROCESS whihc is using NON_AME_APPROVAL_PROCESS and this is using REQUEST_APPROVAL_PROCESS and under this process there is a notification APPROVAL_REQUES. Now, I am completing this ACTIVITY as Approve and I am able to do that but problem is that REQUEST_APPROVAL__PROCESS is itself not getting completed and stuck here.
    Please let me know how can I achieve that.
    Thansks!

  • Oracle Workflow Internal Forced termination Error

    We will appreciate if anyone can be of assistance in helping us with a problem we are experiencing with Oracle Workflow.
    We have an Oracle Workflow Task which has several activities.
    This exact version of the Workflow works in 2 other environments, with the exception of the current environment where we are experiencing the issue described below.
    1.     The Oracle Workflow Task is submitted via the Oracle Workflow monitor: Launch Processes
    2.     The Task terminates internally immediately after submission ***
    3.     The report result status on the first activity indicates “Force”
    4.     The overall Workflow reports result status indicates “Failure”
    5.     The first activity normally executes for 12 minutes before executing the next activity, we can see the process executing on the database level (Performing database steps as expected – logging to an audit table 6 times)
    6. The follow on activity never gets executed.
    We believe that this is an environment issue. Out application stack is:
    1.     Oracle Database 9.2.0.5
    2.     Oracle Workflow 2.6.2
    3.     Oracle warehouse builder 10g R2
    Thanks for any help in resulving this.

    Hi,
    We have just had a similar problem, also when trying to deploy a process flow module.
    After investigating the contents of the WF_ITEM_TYPES table we noticed that an entry allready existed with the same Name as the Process Flow Module that we were trying to deploy.
    To fix this we simply renamed the Mapping and reran the deployment, with sucess.
    We belive that a previous failed deployment of the Process Flow Module (due to a missing language), left the Database in an inconsistent state, renaming the flow meant that the PK was no longer broken, however the half finished deployment has probably left further rubish in the system.... we will see :-)
