Parameter input in Oracle Workflow

Goodmorning all,
I have a mapping that requires input - using the 'mapping input parameter' operator. I would like to run this mapping using Oracle Workflow.
How can I define an input parameter in Oracle Workflow?
Thanks in advance for your reactions.

Are you using OWB process flows? Then like this....

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,

Deleting a user in AD using Oracle Workflow

Hello.
I have a very unusual scenario that I want to solve.
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.

ORACLE WORKFLOW NOTIFICATION MAILER START 방법
============================================
PURPOSE
Notification Mailer를 background에서 running 시키고,unix account의 logging out 후에도 지속적으로 running 시킬뿐 아니라 standard output 및 error message를 각각 저장할 수 있게 workflow unix user로 workflow mailer를 start 할 수 있다.
Explanation
nohup $ORACLE_HOME/bin/wfmail.snd -f <config_file>
1>mailer.log 2>mailer_err.log &
where <config_file> is $ORACLE_HOME/wf/res/wfmail.cfg
Alternatively, you can do the following to start the Notification Mailer without specifying the CONNECT parameter & value in the above step: Create Mailer Configuration file as the password parameter in the $ORACLE_HOME/wf/res/wfmail.cfg file is in clear text and poses a security problem.
nohup $ORACLE_HOME/bin/wfmail.snd -f $ORACLE_HOME/wf/res/wfmail.cfg owf_mgr/password@connect_string 1>mailer.log 2>mailer_err.log &
(Please note that even this method of running the Oracle Workflow Notification Mailer is not entirely secure in the sense that if anybody who has access to the middle-tier can always do a “/usr/ucb/ps -auxwww | grep wfmail.snd” and get the CONNECT information).
Example
Nohup $FND_TOP/bin/WFMAIL apps/apps@ 0 Y -f $FND_TOP/resource/ wfmail.cfg

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 <procedure name> (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

How to install the oracle workflow, I have download the workflow 263

I have download the workflow 263, but when i install it, it always show it the error.
"This is not a 10g oracle-home, please abort the installation".
I am new to oracle workflow.

In my case I have already installed the 10 Database, and I have carefully set Oracle_Home in my Windows Server 2003 environment variables parameters to the right directory
"D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1", and on the page where im suppose to select the product to install on the workflow universal installer screen. I choose leave it at the first option which is already choosen "Oracle Workflow 2.6.3.0.0", i don't choose the second option middletier since I donnot need it currently, but I keep getting this error of
"This is not a 10G ORACLE_HOME" when I click next for it to start installing.
Before I usually try to include this configuration parameter in my database sever parameter file "aq_tm_processes=2" but whenever i do that using a text editor, the database server crashes, and I'll have to do a fresh installation before I can use the database, this time I stopped trying to edit the server parameter file and I tried installing the workflow server straight with the steps above but the error, please any assistance will be appreciated. Thanks.

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

Oracle workflow Events

I have defined a process which is executed on receiving a predefined event. When I raise the event using the web interface provided with the software, the event is raised, and the corresponding workflow is executed. But, when I try to raise the same event, using a 'Raise Event' activity within another process, it does not work. It just shows the steps : Start -> Raise Event -> End as 'Complete', though the Raise Event step does not trigger off the event. Please help as soon as possible !
Thanks and Regards,
Reshmy

This error message means that the subscription was found and executed, and it tried to send the event to the workflow process, but
it could not do so because there was no activity in the process that was able to receive the event. If the process begins with the
Receive event activity marked as a Start activity, that activity can only receive the event if the process has not been started yet,
i.e., that item type/item key combination does not exist yet. If that item type and item key have already been used, Oracle Workflow
cannot start another process with the same item type and item key and you will get this error.
When a subscription sends an event to a process, it uses the correlation ID in the event message as the item key for the process, or
the event key if no correlation ID is defined. What you need to do is provide a value, either using the correlation ID or the event key,
that has not been used as an item key for this item type before.
Or else (which may be simpler) put the process that raises the event and the process that receives the event in different item types.
Then it will be easier to make sure the item type/item key combination is unique and has not been used before.
Regards,
Clara
Thank you for the response !
I am enclosing the notification message I found below. It says something like a subscription is not found to the event 'oracle.apps.wf.event.any'. But, if that is the case, then could you tell me how the same wks when I raise the same event through the web interface ie. the defined subscription works and the corresponding workflow executes ! Is there anything else need to be set up when we have the processes that raise the evnt and that receive the event,respectively ,under the same item type ?
The message that I found in the Notifications list is :
An Error occurred in the following Event Subscription: Event Subscription

Oracle Workflow 2.6 with Oracle 8.1.7 for linux

Is Oracle Workflow Server 2.6 available for Linux as a
standalone product against an Oracle 8.1.7 database?
Oracle Workflow does not seem to be included in the Integration
Server option with the 8.1.7 installation.
I've only found the Oracle Workflow Server included with the 9i
database. Will this work with 8.1.7 as well or does it require
9i db?
Thanks in advance for your help,

Issue in notification API for oracle workflow

Hi,
I am facing issue in sending oracle workflow notification. i have created a simple workflow with a process.
I wrote one package which is creating adhoc role and sending the notification through api I(wf_notification.send).
I am able to get the notification as well as email notification but without attribute values. My workflow attributes are getting replaced by null, but message body is appearing.
Please help me, its urgent.

I doubt that Oracle 7 DB is not supported. You may consider raising a SR with support.

Oracle Workflow 2.6.4 Migration

Hi,
One of our customer wants to migrate Oracle Workflow 2.6.4 from http server to WLS server and they are following the this blog :
https://blogs.oracle.com/warehousebuilder/entry/owb_11gr2_tip_downloading_and_installing_workflow_monitor_264
Now they have following questions ?
- Is this new setup ( WLS+Oracle Workflow 2.6.4 ) is supported by oracle officially ? If not then what is other option ?
- Where can we find the software - Oracle Database 10gR2 Companion CD(10.2.0.1) ? it is not available on OTN. Can we get the MOS link for it ?
Best Regards,
Anurag

For your second question, pl see MOS Doc 1476075.1

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.
