Passing Input parameters to BPEl Process

Hi,
The requirement is to link OBIEE report and a BPEl Process.By clcking on the link in OBIEE report , the BPEl process should be executed which accepts the input parameters at run time from the user along with the input parameters being passed from OBIEE report.I am stuck with how to pass the parameters from OBIEE report to BPEL process.I'm using OBI V 10.1.3.3 and developed the BPEL process using Oracle JDeveloper.Could someone help me in resolving this?
Thanks,
Vidya

hi vid
the bpel process talks in language of web services ie partener links , i guess there must be some way of creating web service of obi and then you can make the two talk, also you can have reverse approach by generating axis client of BPEL webservice and using this client jar in your other obiee whatever....
hope this helps....

I am trying to set this map data using java code ,
     HashMap procADMap1 = new HashMap(5);
               PropertyTypeWS pType = new PropertyTypeWS();
               pType.setTypeIndex(2);
          AppdataDefImplWS appData1 = new AppdataDefImplWS();
          appData1.setName("Project");
          appData1.setType(pType);
          appData1.setMaxSize(400);
          appData1.setLOB(false);
     appData1.setDefaultValue("Project Default value");
          procADMap1.put(appData1.getName(), appData1);
          setVariableData("request","createNs","/createNs/namespaceData/appdataDef",procADMap1);
Then I am passing request object to the method which I want to invoke from bpel process.
I am able to deploy the application but when I do post message I am getting following exception,
NamespaceWithMap (createNamespace) (faulted)
[2004/09/09 18:35:54] "{http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension}bindingFault" has been thrown. Less

Is there any other way to handle Map type in bpel process?
Thanks in advance,
Sanjay

Thanks for the quick reply.Actually the web service is already deployed on the server.What I want to do is use existing wsdl file of the deployed web service and invoke the method of the same using oracle PM.
If I remove element which uses apachesoap:Map type it just works fine also I am getting the complex object returned by the web service method.But when I try to set appDataDef which is of type apachesoap:Map(Axis conversion for java.util.Map and it uses namespace xmlns:apachesoap="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap") I am getting the error.
Can you give me some direction to use this exising wsdl file to set map object or it is not possible.

What is the better way to pass input parameters between components?

Hi all,
I had a dispute with a colleague about passing data between different WDP Development Components. The situation is like this:
Colleague has a SearchWDP (parent) und I have a BrowseWDP (child). After searching for some objects and clicking a hit in the SearchWDP, the corresponding details should be shown in BrowseWDP, via passing a bunch of parameters such as selected item's id, etc.
Now which of the following is the better practice:
- Defining a node in BrowseWDP (child) with isInputParameter set to TRUE, creating a similar node from the same type (simply via ModelBinding, both WDPs are using the same model) in SearchWDP, and defining a mapping between them so that SearchWDP fills the input nodes. From BrowserWDPs perspective, I'd call this Pull method.
or...
- Defining a node in BrowseWDP (child) with isInputParameter set to FALSE, creating a setter method in BrowseWDP Interface Controller for the collection (to be passed as parameters) and calling a wdContext.nodeBlaBla().bind(pInputParameterFromModelType). From BrowserWDPs perspective, I'd call this Push method.
The colleague's argumentation in favor of Push has not convinced me at all and I'd like to ask your opinions. Is there a best practice or recommendation for this scenario? TIA
ps: Any answer will be rewarded.

Hi Cuneyt,
Refer the links below, they are very informative!
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/22/15a441cd47a209e10000000a155106/content.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/67/cc744176cb127de10000000a155106/content.htm
These links are a part of the WebDynpro ABAP documentation, but the concepts are same for WDA and WDJ.
Considering your scenario, I would recommend the first alternative you have mentioned (if you refer the second link its called External Context Mapping), where component controller context node of component A (SearchWDP) is the source for Interface controller context (same name) of component B (BrowseWDP).
Thanks.

Passing input parameters to the method call in ADF task flow.

Hi,
I have the following use case:
There is a task flow with 2 jspx pages. In the first page I have 2 input search parameters and search button. the search button calls the webservice data control execute (GET_ACCOUNTOperation) method .
Displaying the search results in the same page is not a problem , but my requirement is that the search results are to be displayed in the second page in tabular form.
To achieve this, I dragged the execute method as the method call in the task flow and specified the input parameters for the method call (right click and add parameters) . I am getting the following exception :

even though the execute method is there and the service is up and running. I am not sure whether its the correct way of doing it. Please shed some light on how to solve this use case
Some additional info:
Under the data controls pallete, the GET_ACCOUNTOperation method has a parameters section , which has "part" (java.lang.Object) as
the input parameter.
Regards,
Rampal

Hi,
thanks for the quick turn-around. Jdev version that i am using is Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.6.0. And i am using SOAP. Isnt there a way without using a backing bean? I am planning to use it as a portlet. Would'nt creating a backing bean cause a problem in that case?? Also i am confused here . The method that i am dragging is GET_ACCOUNTOperation(Object). I tried passing the hashmap . It gave the following exception :
javax.el.MethodNotFoundException: Method not found: GET_ACCOUNTOperation.execute(java.util.HashMap)

How to pass GET parameters from BPEL to webservice?

Hi,
How can I pass GET parameters to webservice from BPEL. For example if a webservice expects to get 2 parameters as GET parameters like the following URL:
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/some-web-service?parama=abc&paramb=123
How can I pass parama and paramb to the webservice call?
Thanks,
Ronen

Hello Ronen,
Im assuming that you're using SOA Suite 11g. The developer guide describes the following: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E29505_01/dev.1111/e10224/sca_bindingcomps.htm#CHDEEGDC
And the following blogpost explains in detail how to implement https://blogs.oracle.com/reynolds/entry/oracle_http_adapter

Passing input parameters from an applet to a JSP page

Hello all,
Yes, its one of these questions which I have tried to find a solution from the already large number of postings but with no luck. I'm still a novice to Java/JSP so bear with me.
Consider this scenario.
1. An applet which has two input boxes (say First name and surname). 2. These parameters will be passed to a JSP page (so the applet will call a JSP page).
3. The JSP will have have the necessary logic (or actually a JavaBean will) to connect to a database and add a new record with these parameters (first name and surname).
I also need to consider editing/updating the record in the database. So a JSP page will connect to the database, retrieving the required record from the database and then display the parameters back in an applet in two input boxes (first name and surname) to be edited and saved again.
I have been able to develop a similar application using simple HTML forms to add and update records in a database so I'm not worried about the database connectivity simply the issue of passing parameters from the applet to the JSP page and vice versa (for edit/update).
Once i've managed to do this with input boxes, I can experiment with the other input types radios, checkboxes, select etc.
Many thanks in advance,
Assad

For the benefit of others here, I resolved the problem by examining the properties of the datagridview control. In this case, the datagridview control binding property was being set in the visual studio designer and for some reason was not able to be set at runtime. I removed the binding property in the visual studio property window and the problem was resolved.
Thanks for those who contributed answers to this issue.

Swing questions: passing inputs(parameters) betwen classes

Hi,
I am writing a program that needs GUI. It is very new to me. And many simple questions I couldn't find answer. Part of the reason is that I don't even know how to ask questions. So, I hope you can help me.
First question:
I have the application ( main program ) class, in which a 'set parameter' button should invoke another 'input' panel ( coded in a separated class, I suppose), which has a couple of test fields with labels. once numbers are put in those fields and 'OK' button is clicked, those numbers need to be returned to the main program (in the form of an 'parameter' object or an array . ) My question is how to pass those information back to the main class?
2nd
Somehow when I click the 'X' button in the input panel, the whole program quits. I want it behaves like a 'cancel' button. How?
Thanks!

1) This is more of a design issue than really a java
question. Establishing references between the objects
is quite simple. At some point, you must have created
the GUI from your main program. This would be a good
point to establish a reference:Thanks! I guess I over-thought about this issue
>
2) You can set for a frame the default Closing
operation, but I don't remember the exact method
call. See the sun tutorials for this, as well.should the default closing operation be set in the parent panel or in the child panel? currently I set the parent panel to be closed when exits, and didn't set the operation in the child.
Thanks!

Create an API to Launch an LabVIEW Built Executable and Pass it Input Parameters

Hello,
I'm looking for a way to create an API to Launch/Close an executable, created with LabVIEW, which in additional to Launching/Closing tht executable, will also allow me to pass input parameters.
To give you some background, I'm working on a logging utility, basically a background dameon, which I currently have implemented as a LabVIEW packed library and my API is a few VIs to launch that daemon and pass it a filename and a logging rate. Functionally it works just fine however is executes within LabVIEW not as an independent process. So instead of using a packed library, I would like to compile my logging daemon down to an executable but I still need a way to launch it and pass it parameters from an external application (such as Teststand).
I know you can launch executables and pass parameters using windows command lines, but I'm wondering if there is a more direct method such as a DLL that I could call in Teststand? Thanks.
Post CLD and when I'm a CLA when someone asks who I am, I can spin around in my chair and say "I am... the architect."

When Teststand Launches the Logger, it does so by opening a reference to the logger daemon using the "Open VI Reference" primitive and then it launches an instance of the dameon using the "Start Asynchronous Call" node.
This currently, launches the logger within labview not teststand. If I were to directly call the logger daemon VI itself as a step in TestStand, then it could run in a new teststand thread. At that point I would need a way to stop that logger which I should be able to do by storing a reference to its control queue within the teststand thread that it is running in. Since teststand let's you specify VI execution in the runtime engine instead of LabVIEW that might do the job.
The one catch is once the sequence completes, the logger does some cleanup, post processing, etc that depending on the amount of data captured can take some time so if a set of sequences needs to be executed, this could hang up teststand until that post processing is completed. That is one reason why I wanted it to execute outside of testtand so that additonal sequences could continue to run while the daemon finishes up in the background.
But, it's something I'll have to look into.

SQLPLUS Acitivity in process flow Input parameters to the script

I have a sqlplus Activity in the process flow. In the script section I have a update statement which has a where clause where I need to pass a date field as input paramter to this script to compare and update the records.
Is there a way to pass Input Parameters to the script.
update test
set last_name = 'TEST'
where trunc(begin_date) = :begin_date;
Begin_date is a variable in my process flow which I need to pass to this script.
Any ideas as to how I can accomplish this.
Thanks in advance.

You can Create a procedure of the Update statement with one input paramenter like
Create Or replace procedure Update_test ( p_begin_date date )
IS
update test
set last_name = 'TEST'
where trunc(begin_date) = p_begin_date;
End;Then call this Procedure in the Process Flow and give input parameter from PF variable.

Input parameters from process

Hi,
I have a scenario where the user enters the process id as the input and once he submits it
I have to retrieve the input parameters of that process
Is it possible to get the input parameters using the GP API
Please give me a lead on how to achieve this
Thanks

Hi
You can achieve this using wd api, you need to create the webdynpro application

Oracle Workflow and mapping input parameters

Hello all,
I am trying to create a process flow in OWB that will be able to pass input parameters into each of my mappings. Each mapping contains 2 inputs, a start time and an end time.
Does OWB's process flows allow for this or is there another approach that i should take in creating a workflow for these mappings?
I am currently using 11gR2(11.2.0.1) and OWF v. 2.6.4.
Thanks in advanced for any and all help,
Randy

Hi Randy,
Open the process flow editor. In the structure window (menu view->structure), select the mapping activity and expand it to see its parameters. If you select a parameter, you can set its value or bind it to a variable in the property window.
In the structure window you can also add process flow parameters to the start activity or define process flow variables.
Regards,
Carsten.

How to get response from an asynchronous BPEL process in Java

I'm experimenting with BPEL and doesn't seem to be able to get response from an asynchronous BPEL process. Here's the deal:
I have a BPEL process that takes a string as input, and gives another string as output. This is a asyncronous process.
I want to initiate this BPEL process as a web service so I generate a Webservice Proxy in JDeveloper 10g (10.1.3.0.4). The function to call the process is now called "initiate" and takes three arguments: the input string, a "org.xmlsoap.schemas.ws._2003._03.addressing.EndpointReferenceType replyTo" and a
"org.xmlsoap.schemas.ws._2003._03.addressing.AttributedURI messageID".
HTTP-Analyzer shows that invoking the BPEL process with initiate("somestring", null, null) results in sending a SOAP message to the BPEL process, which returns a "202 Accepted". How do I get the response from the process? My intuition tells me that I have to use that second argument, that EnpointReferenceType thing. How do I use that?
Another question: If a asynchronous BPEL process does not exists (so the endpoint does not exist) the Java proxy does not throw an error when runned. It does not even sends a message. It exits with status 0! (This happens for example when deploying a new version of a process and when the "old" version is undeployed). Calling a non-existing synchronous BPEL process, the Java proxy DOES throw an error.

Clemens,
That all sounds logical. But somehow it is still a mystery for me ... Somehow I don't see what should be done.
To call the async BPEL process I have the following procedure:
initiate(String input, org.xmlsoap.schemas.ws._2003._03.addressing.EndpointReferenceType replyTo, org.xmlsoap.schemas.ws._2003._03.addressing.AttributedURI messageID)
The first argument is the input for my BPEL process. The second is the address to a webservice that should handle the callback, right? The third is a messageID (makes sense, but why of the type AttributedURI?).
Here lies my problem. It is not clear to me how these EndpointReferenceType & AttributedURI work. I can't find anything on the net about it. The AXIS examples as where mentioned earlier use other types (namely the "org.xmlsoap.schemas.ws.addressing.MessageID" and "org.xmlsoap.schemas.ws.addressing.ReplyTo") which are completely different.
What I did so far:
- I created an webservice proxy that listens on the onResult endpoint of the BPEL process.
- I created an webservice proxy that calls the BPEL process through the initiate procedure, but it is not completely clear to me how to construct the EndPointreferenceType replyTo, and the MessageID. I did something like this:
EndpointReferenceType replyTo = new EndpointReferenceType();
// callback service running on local machine
// This URI class is the java.net's version
URI replyToURI = new URI("http://vaccinatie:8988/syncro-callback-context-root/stringconcatCallbackBindingPort");
// This AttributedURI is the org.xmlsoap.schemas.ws._2003._03.addressing's version
AttributedURI address = new AttributedURI();
// the only public methos that made sense to me:
address.set_value(replyToURI);
replyTo.setAddress(address);
// call the BPEL process
myPort.initiate("test123", replyTo, address);
But the above doesn't work (largely because I don't know what I'm doing here prob.:-) ) It does send the "test123" message, and the BPEL process does process it, but I don't seem to get the callback right.
I hope this makes my problems somewhat clearer. I hope someone can help me, because I'm just a beginner in this whole "web service area" and seems to do something terribly wrong here, because it should be very simple. Thx.
