PHP and Oracle Workflow

Hi everyone,
Is it possible to use PHP and Oracle Workflow together? I means use PHP to generate user-interface and PHP-OCI8 API to call WFEngine PL/SQL code?

All of the public documented Workflow Engine PL/SQL APIs and Java APIs enable customers to build their own screens based on workflow, such as building your own specialized worklist.

DW9, PHP, and Oracle

We've just installed DWCS3 and now our Oracle (Oracle Thin
Client) database connections are no longer available with DWCS3. We
have just learned that DWCS3 will not work with Phakt and that PHP
now only supports MySQL. Dropping Phakt without any PHP-to-Oracle
alternatives is a serious threat to our continued use of Adobe web
products because TCO / ROI concerns, facing the fact we may have to
rebuild our websites.
We need to continue to use PHP to access our Oracle dBs. Does
anyone have any recomendations for a work-around to this sorry
behavior?

PHP and Oracle Connection

Please help to connect to oracle through php.
OS=Windows Server 2008 R2(x64)= is working correctly
PHP ver=PHP 5.3.2= is working correctly
ORACLE = Oracle Database 11gR2= is working correctly
Since the PHP and Oracle on the same machine, I did not install install client(but even with instan client I could not connect to oracle).
phpinfo does not show oci section

Please help me.

I'm guessing the cause is probably the same as that article: PHP is 32bit but your Oracle libraries are 64bit.
You will need to install 32bit instant client and make sure they are used for Apache. Does Windows 2008 have sym links? Perhaps the note mentioned at the end of OCI8 IN WINDOWS SERVER 2008 x64 will help. Otherwise try creating some batch scripts to set PATH appropriately before starting Apache.

Re: PHP and Oracle Connection

Are any specific links that will give me all knowledge regarding php and oracle connection? I am a new babie in this please help me out.

PHP and oracle problem

Hi,
I'm trying to create a chart with php ad oracle. I'm using this code
<?
     function Num_of_Rows($column, $status, $table){
          $conn = oci_pconnect("$username", "$passwd", "$host");
          $sql_query = "SELECT COUNT($column) AS NUMBER_OF_ROWS FROM $table WHERE Status = '$status'";
          $stmt= oci_parse($conn, $sql_query);
          oci_define_by_name($stmt, 'NUMBER_OF_ROWS', $number_of_rows);
          oci_execute($stmt);
          oci_fetch($stmt);
          return $number_of_rows;
     $result1 = Num_of_Rows("Admin_Number", "Active", "AS_ADMINS");
     $result2= Num_of_Rows("Admin_Number", "Locked", "AS_ADMINS");
     echo $result1;
     echo $result2;
?>
This code works but only once! When I delete the row $result1 = Num_of_Rows("Admin_Number", "Active", "AS_ADMINS"); the second call of the function works and when I delete      $result2= Num_of_Rows("Admin_Number", "Locked", "AS_ADMINS"); the furst call of the function works!
It seems that I can use the function only once and I can't call it again. It seems that the problem is someone else. Do you have an idea?

I don't know what you mean by "works".
Have you tried changing the echo commands so the output is not adjacent?
echo $result1 . "<br>\n";
echo $result2 . "<br>\n";It seems odd to allow an arbitrary tablename but assume that there is always a column called STATUS.
I'd recommend using bind variables where possible.

External Java Class and Oracle Workflow 2.6.3

Hi,
There is a requirement wherein I have to call an external Java class to fetch a string value from an external source and use that in the Oracle Workflow Notifications.
After reading the Workflow documentation, I understand that Java classes can be called only for standalone version of the Workflow Builder (2.6.3). As the
requirement is for an e-business suite implementation (11.5.10), I was wondering if there is a way to acheive this. Can an external Java class be called from within
Oracle Workflow?
I would really appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction.
Many Thanks,
Praveen

Hi,
If you write a wrapper to the java class in PL/SQL, then you can invoke that class from a PL/SQL activity conforming to the standard PL/SQL signature.

Is my configuration correct? PHP and Oracle HTTP server

Hi all,
I have a single server running RHEL5 x86-64 and Oracle 11.1. I also have the Oracle HTTP Server which purportedly has "PHP support".
I am trying to do a basic test connect to my database, but I'm getting an error.
My test is the following:
<html>
PHP Test with Oracle<head>
<body>
<pre>
<?php
$conn = oci_connect('scott', 'tiger', 'myserver/MYDBSERVICE');
if (!$conn) {
trigger_error("Could not connect to database", E_USER_ERROR);
?>
</pre>
</body>
</html>When I open the page, I see the following:
PHP Test with Oracle
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: oci_connect() in /u01/app/oracle/product/HTTP_Server/ohs/htdocs/phptest/dtest4.php on line 6
I've also tried phpinfo() and get the following:
oci8
OCI8 Support      enabled
Revision      $Revision: apache_modules/mod_php/4.3.9/ext/oci8/oci8.c#0 $
Oracle Version      10.1
Compile-time ORACLE_HOME      /ade/svadugur_mjoyphp4311/oracle
Libraries Used      no value
Any idea what may be going on? I've looked through much documentation already before posting to no avail.
Thank you for any insight.

The oci_* names were introduced in PHP 5. In PHP 4 the equivalent connection command is ocilogon(). For other mappings see Appendix C of the free book http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/php/underground-php-oracle-manual-098250.html
I'd recommend you upgrade PHP. See "Installing OCI8 with Oracle Application Server on Linux" on p 76 of that book. Note the warnings.

Apache, PHP, and Oracle 11G

Hi,
I have an 11G RAC Setup, and a separate application server that runs php that is presently connecting to MySQL Servers.
I just configured OCI8 in my application server and can see that my configurations are correct using phpinfo().
iam using this code to connect to my RAC 11G:
<?php
if(!$conn = oci_connect('sys', 'opensesame','callbox.oracle'))
$err = oci_error();
trigger_error('Could Not Establish a Connection:'.$err['message'], E_USER_ERROR);
?>
but i get this error:
Warning: oci_connect() [function.oci-connect]: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified in /var/www/html/oraconn.php on line 6
here's tnsnames.ora in my RAC, using sqlplus via command line works perfectly fine in either nodes of the rac.
LISTENERS_CALLBOX =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = node01-vip)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = node02-vip)(PORT = 1521))
CALLBOX2 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = node02-vip)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = callbox.oracle)
(INSTANCE_NAME = callbox2)
CALLBOX1 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = node01-vip)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = callbox.oracle)
(INSTANCE_NAME = callbox1)
CALLBOX =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = node01-vip)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = node02-vip)(PORT = 1521))
(LOAD_BALANCE = yes)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = callbox.oracle)
am I missing something?

i forgot to include that the tutorial that helped me configure the OCI8 for PHP suggests that i need to create tnsnames.ora in /etc like this:
SERVICENAME =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = ip_of_oracle_server)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = SID)
(SID = SID)
so I created this:
CALLBOX1 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST =192.168.50.161)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = callbox.oracle)
(INSTANCE_NAME = callbox1)
and did this: export TNS_ADMIN=/etc/
am not sure which part of my tnsnames.ora in the RAC (posted earlier) be copied in /etc/tnsnames.ora in the application server.

Who can help me with connecting php and oracle ........

and I've tried several ways and does not connect, I vote errors like this
Warning: oci_connect(): ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified in C:\xampp\htdocs\conexion oracle\consulta.php on line 4
array(4) { ["code"]=> int(12154) ["message"]=> string(65) "ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified" ["offset"]=> int(0) ["sqltext"]=> string(0) "" } Conexion es invalida
almost always all errors have to do with the oci8 funsiones
I appreciate the help you could provide

ORA-12154 ALWAYS only occurs on SQL Client & no SQL*Net packets ever leave client system
ORA-12154 NEVER involves the listener, the database itself or anything on the DB Server.
ORA-12154 occurs when client requests a connection to some DB server system using some connection string.
TNS-03505 is thrown by tnsping & is same error as ORA-12154 thrown by sqlplus or others.
The lookup operation fails because the name provided can NOT be resolved to any remote DB.
The analogous operation would be when you wanted to call somebody, but could not find their name in any phonebook.
The most frequent cause for the ORA-12154 error is when the connection alias can not be found in tnsnames.ora.
The lookup operation of the alias can be impacted by the contents of the sqlnet.ora file; specifically DOMAIN entry.
So post the content of the sqlnet.ora file.

Help with SL Server PHP and Oracle ?

(my apologies for post to wrong forum first)
I'm attempting to add oci8/instantclient to the "out-of-the-box" php distribution w/o recompiling (if at all possible)
have installed instantclient in /usr/local
installed oci8 from pecl and built w/instantclient
I THINK my main issue is adding the DYLIB- envt variables because I cannot find a reference to the required XML syntax
Has anyone got this bad boy working?

Assuming you installed the Oracle Instant Client correctly, then try this as root (or issue sudo -s before):
mkdir -p /SourceCache
cd /SourceCache
curl -O http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/apachemod_php/apache_modphp-53/php-5.3.0.tar.bz2
tar xjf php-5.3.0.tar.bz2
cd /SourceCache/php-5.3.0/ext/oci8
phpize
MACOSXDEPLOYMENTTARGET=10.6 CFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe -no-cpp-precomp" CCFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe" LDFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -bindatload" ./configure
make
make install
When done, edit/create /etc/php.ini and add:
extension=/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/oci8.so
next issue:
sudo apachectl graceful
with a little luck you are all set.

How to use Php and Oracle on 2 different systems

Hi!
I connected with a net 2 systems. One (Windows 2000 + Oracle9i) is the database server. The other (WinXP + Apache 2.0.54 + Php 5.0.4 ) is the web server. I'd like to make the WinXP machine connect on the Win2000 but It seems it doesn't work even if I'm using:
oci_connect( "<user>" , "<pwd>" , "//<ip>:<port>/<db-name>" );
the error is always "_oci_open_server: ORA-06401: NETCMN: designatore del programma di gestione non valido"
(translated: "NETCMN: invalid gestion management program")
can someone help me?
Thanx a lot!!

ORA-06401, 00000, "NETCMN: invalid driver designator"
Cause: The login (connect) string contains an invalid driver designator.
Action: Correct the string and re-submit.
The //ip:port/sid connect string will only work with 10g clients.
Check your tnsnames.ora file. Does the file have control characters or missing carriage-return characters ? (Maybe you ftp'd the file from a unix box ?)
I would suggest that you create a new tnsnames.ora - hand edit it (don't copy the old one). If you have sqlplus client - try using it to connect to the remote DB first.
The instructions for connection to a local or remote DB are all the same (when using plain OCILogon) because the connection is made over TCP.

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
to be properly started.

getNewWorkflowContext() : BEGIN
06/05/26 10:31:45 LOG_ID_UNKNOWN : oracle.apps.fnd.cp.gsc.SvcComponentContainer.
loadGlobalParameters() : BEGIN
06/05/26 10:31:48 oracle.apps.fnd.wf.common.ContextFactoryException: Unable to g
et connection from data source because the following Exception occurred -> java.
sql.SQLException: ORA-28000: the account is locked
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="->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.
Buntoro
