Reassignment of a task in BPM process

How can I implement reassignment of a task to particular user/user's group in BPM process.
Is any body guide me on that?Thanks in advance.

Sudipto,
They can also be defined using Terminating Events for the task as well as Exceptions in the object method. For further info follow the link to the Help Documentation.

Migration of Open Tasks when BPM Processes Change during major releases

Hi
This is the most often scenario faced by many project teams during Go-Lives of BPM Processes.
We would like to migrate BPM tasks from older BPM processes to newer BPM process. And there is substantial changes done between two releases.
Though I am aware that older BPM tasks created get suspended, is there way to do the following:
1. Use any migration tools to migrate old BPM tasks to newer BPM task
2. Simultaneously have both Older and Newer BPM Processes run in Environment, let them co-exist till the old BPM tasks get completed
What is the recommended approach for these kind of situations, when its not possible to either of the above activities.
Thanks and Regards,
Srikant

Hi Srikant,
we were facing the same issues. We have a solution for this, but it has some prerequisites to make it work. I actually talked about it at the DSAG (German SAP User Group) conference (see blog) and promised the audience to blog about it in more detail, but haven’t yet found the time to do so.
First very important is to understand how the life cycle works. There are two very important documents to read:
SAP Note 1865683
SCN Artikel Understanding Business Process Lifecycle Management Features of SAP NetWeaver BPM
With complex processes and major changes, it is very complex to maintain multiple versions. If you read through the above mentioned documents that becomes very clear. Also there are other complexities, for example code reuse, data, support desk issues or user training. There are also some restrictions running multiple versions of the same process (SAP Note 1865683)
So here is in short what we did.
We keep all our process data outside the process context in a database including the state, i.e. the current process step. When we deploy a new major version, we cancel all running process instances and then restart them with the new process model. To restart processes we use the SAP scheduler which starts a process if a specific status value is found.
If you don’t have your process data easily available you could use the process export function in the NWA. The export is an XML file that you could possible parse, but I haven't actually tried this method.
In the process model we have an exclusive choice gateway where can import a process to specific process step. This happens right at start of the process. The gateway evaluates the status value mentioned above to decide where to go.
I hope to find the time to write the blog soon. Here I could give you a complete example how we do the reimport of processes.
I’m also very interested in other ways to achieve this, so this should be an interesting discussion.

Reusing Human Tasks across BPM Processes with different Data Objects

Hi
JDeveloper 11.1.1.6, WLS 10.3.6, SOA/BPM 11.1.1.6
I have defined 2 BPM Processes, P1 and P2, which has 2 different Process Data Objects O1 and O2.
But I am reusing the same Human Task in both the processes.
For the Human Task to support the activities in both the processes, I have added O1 and O2 Data Objects in the Human Task Definition.
And hence the ADF Taskflow / page generated out of the Human Task will have both the Data Objects O1 and O2 as payload objects in the Page.
When an instance of Process P1 is created, the payload O1 will have values, but O2 will be null.
And when an instance of Process P2 is created, the payload O2 will have values, but O1 will be null.
It works well like this, but I am a bit concerned about the performance from BPM Process and also ADF page.
In ADF page, let us say, somehow I can control the rendering of the attributes or creation of the iterator bindings based on identifying which process is being executed.
(By setting the iterator binding refresh property in page definition)
In this way attribute bindings for O1 will not be created when P2 is being executed.
But still when the Process instance is created, and when we see the payload structure of the human task in the EM - Audit Trail,
I still see both data objects O1 and O2 are created in the Payload, but O1 will have nulls in process P2.
So my question is, from performance point of view, is it advisable to define different Data Objects in reusable Human tasks ?
Or should I have to define a separate Human Task definition which contains only the Data Objects related to the process it is being called from ?
Thanks for any help

Martijn,
You are correct in your assessment that the JAG in the current JHeadstart release cannot cope with multiple bc4j packages. There is no work around for this. Upgrading to 9051 will not help.
In the JHeadstart-ADF release, this restriction has been lifted. You can place your EO, VO and AM objects in different packages, and you can group them in a separate project (Model project), while generating your JHeadstart application in a ViewController project.
We have a number of customers that use the latest JHeadstart-ADF builds to build their ADF apps. If you are interested in joining this beta program, please send an e-mail to [email protected]

Task UWL and Warnings BPM process

Hi,
I have two questions about:
- Created Tasks in the UWL
- Warnings BPM process.
I have created a BPM process with a one human activitie. This human activity assigned to a task with one potential owner. When i start the process and open the portal UWL, two tasks has been generated!?. Both are the same because when i complete the first task and open the second task, i get the message: " Task has been already completed ".
Second question: when i open the created BPM process, the following warnings appears in the problem tab of NWDS:
Some of the data elements from input mapping of "Cancelled"is not initialized before used.
Some of the data elements from input mapping of "Completed"is not initialized before used.
How can i solve this warning?
Kind regards,
Martin Gerritsen

Hi Martin,
Regarding the "double-task". How did you invoke the process? Via web service? Via NWA? Might it be possible that you submitted the request twice (e.g. double-click instead of a single click?) and that's the reason why 2 tasks are apparing? Or does this happen every time when you start the process?
Just a best guess.
Best regards,
Martin
Martin,
The process will be started by a web service. This service is created as a new WSDL in the BPM environment. This service is connected to the start event of the BPM process and contains a few import parameters. After that i called the service from a R/3 system which started the process.
The 2 tasks apparing everytime i start the process...
When i start the process from the process repository (Netweaver Administrator -> Configuration Management -> Processes and tasks), i get the same problem...
The process contains two human activity's. When the first activity is completed and the second human activity start, 2 tasks will be generated (both the same...)

How to carry out an action on a task in a bpm process from another adf app?

Hi everyone,
We have a simple BPM process with only one human task with two actions: approve and reject.
We want to know if it is possible to approve or reject this task from another adf application; I mean by clicking a button on a different page - not using the Actions menu in workspace, can I change the status of the task to approved or rejected and remove the task from the workspace of the assignee?

I think you can use ItemAdding event to update your fields. This works better for you instead of ItemAdded event.

Why can´t i have more than one initiator task on my bpm process

Hi All.
I am working with BPM 11g and would like to know:
Why can´t i have more than one initiator task on my bpm process
In this case, i will have two separeted process where each has its initiator task?

Hi Diovani
Two different processes can have different task initiators...task initiator means creation of a process instance which can happen only once

Error when reassigning a custom task process

Hello!
I have an error when reassigning a custom task process.
That is what I see at the workflow history: Task assigned to xxx was delegated by xxx. Coments: xxx
However in the second line of the history an error is shown with the following information:
Event type: error
User ID: System account
Description: An error has occurred in nameofthetask
No new task is created for the user who the task was reassigned to.
Any help would be appreciated

Hi，
From the error message， I
guess that you come across an OOTB Approval
Workflow.
When you define your workflow, there is a section "Enable content Approval Workflow Activities", where you can check "Update the approval status after the workflow is completed (use
this workflow to control content approval)". If you check this option, and you do not have content approval enabled on the library level, you get the system account error message. If you do not check it, everything works fine.
Or you can go to the document library settings and go to Versioning Settings Page, set "Require content approval for submitted items to?" to yes and everything should be fine.
Refer to the following blogs about the similar issue:

BPM Process and Task Flow association

Hi,
I deployed one BPM process on a partition called "common". It has a human task, so when I am deploying the human task as separate adf ui project, do I need to specify the partition in hwtaskflow.xml as
hwTaskFlows
xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/bpel/workflow/hwTaskFlowProperties">
<ApplicationName>worklist</ApplicationName>
<LookupType>LOCAL</LookupType>
<TaskFlowDeploy>false</TaskFlowDeploy>
<PartitionName>common</PartitionName>
Or is it ok, to deploy without mentioning the partition.I am deploying both the bpm and adf ui projects using ANT scripts.
Regards,
Subhashini

Hi Subhashini
No. There is no need to mention partition name in this file. Infact its better if you do not mention. In this way, you can deploy the taskforms to any partition in any environment.
Thanks

BPM Process does not show newly added task

I added a new task to my current BPM Process which has several tasks already built into it and they work when deployed. When I execute the workflow and get to that step, I get the following message: Details not available for this task. I am using jDeveloper 11.1.1.5. I created my page with ADF. I can see the pages for all the rest of the tasks in my process but not this newly added step. I have checked the source for this task against other tasks in the process and it looks the same. Does anyone have an idea what I might need to change or add in order to make this work?

If you're getting the Server 500 error and it is not an initiator task, what are you seeing at the bottom of your log file?
If you're getting the Server 500 error and it's an initiator task, then there is a trick to figuring out the real problem (close the dialog -> refresh the worklist -> select the work item at the bottom of the list). The initiator activity makes it necessary to do this additional step to see what the issue is.
Hope this helps,
Dan

Unable to initiate BPM process despite using script task

Hi,
I've created a BPMN process which I want to initiate through a script task - I followed the steps given in section 3.7 of the following doc -
https://stbeehive.oracle.com/content/dav/st/HP%20personal%20workspace/Public%20Documents/BPMN_03_SalesQuote_Implementation.pdf
but after deploying this process, when I go to BPM workspace using my user's login, I don't see my BPM process under list of applications. What could be wrong?
Thanks,
Harsh

Hi Lavanya,
Could you please tell me how you resolved. I am also getting same error.

BPM process withour initialize task?

Hi,
Is it possible to have a BPM process without initiate task?
My Use Case:
Pass some data to the BPM process during the instance creation.
I don't find any way to pass the data during instance creation. I'm thinking of having a webservice call as first activity in my process where the webservice populates the payload data. So I would like to get rid of initiator task and would like to invoke/start the BPM process using BPM API.
Please help.
Thanks,
Suren

Leave the initiator task in your process.
Look at the BPM API example here - http://java.net/projects/oraclebpmsuite11g/downloads/directory/Samples/bpm-api-101-instance-query
Specifically, you want to look at oracle.bpm.sample.instance.InitiateCreditIncreaseRequest.
Once you get a handle on the initiatedTask, you can manipulate the payload.

Using Human tasks in a BPM process

Hi
I managed to deploy the VacationRequest sample which uses human task in a BPEL process.
I want to implement the same human task in a BPM process. Are there any tutorials or stepswise guide for the Vacation Request sample using BPM process?
Also, what are the main differences between a BPEL and a BPM process because most of the things that are done in BPEL can be done in an BPM process as well.
Thanks

I was able to implement the same using a BPM Process.
For those of you, who may require the steps:
1. Create a webservice based on the VacationRequest.xsd with VacationRequest as request and VacationResponse as CallBack
2. Create a human task and task flow as described in the VacationRequest.pdf provided along with the sample.
3. Create a BPMN process, associate the Start Event to the WebService Interface and map the request and response.
Also associate the End Event to theWebService callback port.
4. Deploy the process and taskflow.
But I have a query here? Even in the sample given(using bpel process) how will the requestor know that the leave has been approved/rejected.
what exactly is sent out as the response to the call back port. And, where can the requestor view the response?
Regards

A BPM process with out any human task

Hi All,
I am new bie to BPM. Can I create a BPM process without any human task?
Like start event, service task (or any other activity) & end event.
If it is possible, please let me know the proper steps to execute and test this process also.
Thanks,

Hi
Yes, ofcourse you can have a Process without any User Task. Ex: Start Node -> Service Task -> End Node. Start Node can be 2 things say like DB Adapater and File Adapter. Read something from DB from some table and put into the Text File.
But the thing is, BPM Process is more of Role Oriented. If you already saw, you define something called Swim Lanes and put each User Task in those Lanes and automatically users in that Role only can work on those Task.
If you do not have any such things like User Task, you don't even need to create a BPM Process. Just create a simple BPEL with your custom Payload.
Now, the most important question is how do you plan to trigger/start this process whether BPM or BPEL. Do you assign some users to the first Role and do users log into bpm/workspace and click the Link on the left side to start the process. ALSO since there is NO User Task, you will NOT have any Task Details Page and this means you MAY NOT even see the link on the left side in bpm/workspace.
The only option I could see is have BPEL. This BPEL will have a WSDL automatically generated. And you can use this WSDL to instantiate the task.
If your intention is to use this process/bpel in some other MAIN Process then it is totally possible.
Thanks
