OWB 11g2 & Oracle Workflow

Hi all,
We are trying Warehouse Builder 11g2 and also database 11g2. He have seen it works fine, but we algo have seen that Oracle Workflow it is not supported in this database version, and from Oracle recomends using BPEL.
Is this true? What will we have to install? The way of develop is the same with BPEL?
Thanks in advance

Is this true? What will we have to install? The way of develop is the same with BPEL?As I know OWB11gR2 doesnt support direct deployment processflows to BPEL.
Oracle Workflow server supplied with Oracle database 11g R2 (it installed with OWB, directory for WF is ORADB_HOME/owb/wf).
If you used Workflow monitor you can install it from Oracle database 10g R2 CD.
Regards,
Oleg

  • Running OWB without Oracle Workflow?

    Hi,
    I have developed a simple mapping that joins few tables into one.
    Is it possible to run the mapping in runtime environment without installing the Oracle Workflow?

    Hi,
    Yes. You can run a mapping from Deployment Manager without Oracle Workflow.
    Oracle Work flow is an optional one, and is only required if you have designed process flows to determine the dependency among the mappings.
    good luck

  • OWB, Oracle WorkFlow, and OEM

    I am a DBA who has been charged with the task of integrating Oracle Warehouse Builder, Oracle Workflow and OEM. Our source database is 9i but our Intelligence Team would like to use 10G. Does anyone know how I might install this? Should I install 10G, then create a database for OWB and Oracle Workflow? Any direction would be helpful.

    Hi,
    Have you found an answer? If not read on.
    We are also having the same combination.
    1. Identify a target server (datawarehouse server).
    2. Install 10G database on it (create a seed database with DWH option).
    3. Install OWB
    4. Install workflow server.
    Then , make OWB setups :
    1. Install a design repository, through which the team can carry out ETL in the OWB client.
    2. Install a runtime repository which creates 2 users - a runtime repository owner and a runtime access user('connect as') user when deploying the ETL mappings.
    3. Install a target schema using the runtime where the target objects - tables, dimensions and cubes will be created.
    Then, in OWB, the team have to configure the source modules as 9i and the target modules as 10g.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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,

  • 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

  • Integration of Oracle Workflow with OWB

    Hi,
    I am using OWB 10gR2. Can you please give me some guidelines on integrating Oracle workflow with OWB? I have to deploy OWB schedules to Oracle Workflow.
    Thanks,
    Praveen

    Keep in mind that these are really two different products.
    First make sure you have installed workflow (2.6.3 for Oracle10gR1, 2.6.4 for Oracle10gR2 for the TARGET database).
    Then create a connection to the workflow schema (default would be OWF_MGR). Then you can start creating your OWF packages using OWB and finally deploy your packages to the newly defined Workflow connection.
    On a sadder note, OWF really blows. But that's just me.

  • Is Oracle Workflow required to execute OWB schedules?

    Hi,
    I want to create and deploy a schedule in OWB 10gR2 to automatically run my OWB process flow every week. I would like to know
    1) Whether I need to install Oracle workflow too in order to execute the process flow as per the schedule created?
    2) If not, how does the OWB scheduler work?
    3) Also, if the scheduled proces flow terminates due to some error, how do I resume executing it from the point of termination after correcting the error?
    Thanks
    Amit

    Hi Amit,
    1. Is the workflow monitor a standard part of Oracle workflow,or does one need a separate license for it?All parts Oracle workflow (workflow server, workflow monitor, workflow builder) licensed with Oracle database licenses,
    so if you buy Oracle database you can use workflow components without any limitations.
    2. In your approach, you had mentioned that there should be no transitions for error, but I would like to send an email notification to the DW administrator incase of an error before suspending the process flow.My recomendation is to use additional PL/SQL procedure which will executed periodically (for example every 30 minutes, scheduled with DBMS_JOBS/DBMS_SCHEDULER),
    in this procedure you can use query on OWB public view (ALL_RT_AUDIT_EXECUTIONS) or workflow repository views/tables
    for identification failed steps/mappings (if you decide to use OWB public view) or "stucked" processflow (if you will use workflow views/tables,
    algorithm of identification stucked processflow you can see in workflow PL/SQL package WF_ENGINE, procedure ProcessStuckProcess).
    Using post-mapping is more expensive because you need modify each mapping which you want to monitor for fails.
    Example of query for identifiaction failed steps (PL/SQL prcoedures and mappings) within period of time datetime1..datetime2 with ALL_RT_AUDIT_EXECUTIONS
    select * from ALL_RT_AUDIT_EXECUTIONS where task_type in ('PLSQL','PLSQLProcedure')
    and NOT (return_result is null or return_result='OK') and :datetime1<=created_on and created_on<:datetime2

  • 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."

  • Oracle Workflow Error

    Hi,
    When I enter the username and password in the Oracle Workflow builder, I get the following error. Im able to login correctly from SQL*Plus, my tnsnames has the service name and other details. I can also execute the process flow in OWB. The only problem is in Oracle Workflow builder. Pls suggest how I can go about.

    Hi
    If you have more than one oracle homes in your system than it is possible that not in every tnsnames.ora files are configured the radardev server. Check it.
    Have you installed the workflow repository?

  • 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.

  • How to run Oracle Workflow Project

    Hi people
    I've installed Oracle Workflow Server in a SUN machine and I have one
    development machine with the OWB (Oracle Warehouse Builder) and Oracle
    Client (Oracle Enterprise Manager Client and Oracle Workflow Builder).
    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://<my machine>:<port>/pls/<WorkDAD>/) but when I iniciate the project,
    it stops in the OWB Standard Begin Function. It does not go ahead.
    Any idea? Any hint will be very useful!

  • 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...
