Revoking or undoing human task operation

Is there a way to undo or revoke a human task operation in BPM workflow. For example a customer is submiting a new sales order, after submitting the sales order can he undo the process or save the order for later submission.
Please provide some links .

What version is this? 11g? There is no compensation in BPM 11g- that feature is only available in BPEL. It all depends on the requirements and the user interaction flow. You can use an event sub-process that has a a message start event and apply correlation key with "uses" instead of "initiates" See Arun Pareek's blog "Cancel Booking Scenario" here http://beatechnologies.wordpress.com/2011/10/17/working-with-custom-correlation-in-oracle-bpm-suite-11g-ps4-feature-pack/

Can we call the Human Task operations and the Rule Designer, etc. from outs

Hi,
I just had one of my customers ask me -
Can we call the Human Task operations and the Rule Designer, etc. from outside the SOA Suite ??
Since these are independent applications, and that they are based on Service Oriented Architecture, I should be able to call these services from outside Oracle SOA Suite (SCA) for reuse.
In case you have any idea about the possibilities, could you share some real world examples / URLs please ?
Thanks & Regards

Hi Vaibhav,
Yes, you are right. We are using Oracle SOA suite 11g.
My question is, can these Web Services be directly accessed from, say a .NET application without using BPEL PM, or is using BPEL a must to invoke these services in Human Task operations, Rule Designer, etc ?

Human tasks, complex types and variable assignment.

Hi folks,
I encountered a problem while working with 10.1.3.1 which I haven't managed to solve yet and would be grateful for assistance. I have defined a complex data type (just a sequence of strings) and want to fill that data type by going through a flow of screens, e.g. through several human tasks. I have defined that type as a variable to the BPEL process and have managed to assign simple expressions to the variable and pass that into a Human Task. In the task I see now a simple input form for all attributes of the type.
Now the problem. After I fill out the form and complete the human task, I have
The global variable:
<outputVariable>
     <part xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" name="payload">
          <MyProcessResponse xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/VacationRequest">
               <vorname/>
               <nachname/>
               <strasse/>
               <nummer/>
               <postleitzahl/>
               <stadt/>
               <maximaleDauer/>
               <minimaleDauer/>
          </MyProcessResponse>
     </part>
</outputVariable>
and the return value from the human task:
<task>
     <title>CaptureData</title>-
          <payload>
               <MyProcessResponse>
                    <vorname>David</vorname>
                    <nachname>Beckham</nachname>
                    <strasse>HighStreet</strasse>

               </MyProcessResponse>
          </payload>
</task>
Now the only thing I would like to do is to replace the original values in the variable with the new values that have been returned from the task, this should be performed in an extra assign step. Sounds simple. JDeveloper wouldn't even let me klick through the return value from the HumanTask, so it seems as if I have to do things manually.
These are my tries:

--> Task does't return (!!!). In the BPEL Worklist, the task is completed, however in the BPEL console it still apears as "waiting to return from Human task".
Does anyone have a hint on how to copy the values so that I get exactly the structure that I printed at the very top?
Thanks for help. Rock On !

Hello everyone,
It seems that we are talking about different things, I am afraid. Let me describe the scenario once again:
- I want to have a BPEL process with more than one role involved
- This process should be used to gather some complex data.
- All data gathering should be done through HumanTasks.
So I defined an xsd complex type, that contains a sequence of fields. This complex type should be part of the process payload.
Now before HumanTask 1 is called, I copy the contents of this variable into the input for tasks1. This works fine and I see the appropriate values, when opening the Human Task in the BPEL worklist application.
Now after HumanTask1 is completed, the values I entered inside that tasks are returned as a variable from the HumanTask. My problem is, that I cannot copy the contents of the task back into the main process. With simpleTypes this is relatively ok, since Jdev supports the assembling of the copy operation, however for complex tasks it fails.
A typical scenario for this would be where e.g. a customer fills a shipping address and afterwards a store staff fills product details in the same order. In Java this could be solved via "pass by reference". Who can provide an example?

Error while deploying the ADF task flow project based on a SOA human task

Hi,
I created a SOA project with a BPEL process containing Human task, deployed it and could able to test it successfully. I created ADF task flow project based on the Human task created in the earlier project and tried to deploy it. It is giving the following error. The idea is to display the task details in BPM worklist.

Apart from these, I have Model and View Controller projects in the application. If I create the ADF task flow based on a Human task in another sample application, it works fine. Only in this application, it does not work. Not sure what this error is. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Manoj

What I suggest is go into EM and undeploy this composite and all versions. (Only if you don't want the existing ones). Then redeploy your process. This will avoid the version conflict and create a new version. 1.0. Then the next time you try and deploy you need to either specify a new version or check the box to say the version can be over written.

BPEL Test waits forever to receive callback from human task service

Hi,
I've created a test (CreditCardInvalidTest.xml) to test a bpel process (testbpel.bpel) which contains a call to a human task service. The problem is when the test executes it waits forever to receive the response message from the human task service but clearly i've emulated it! Would appreciate help.
I've attached both files and highlighted the relevant sections. Thanks.

RaviKiran,
I agree that the explanation oracle provided in the attach link, is a bit confusing. The main goal there is to describe the behavior of processes, when there is a need to combine, or split the transactions within those processes (or in some cases the processes themselves).
The thing is - The default transaction for a synchronous process is requiresNew. That was until version 11.1.1.6. On this last version, you are asking to enter a Transaction parameter when creating a new synchronous bpel process. The default value being prompt is required and that's what causing the problem – You automatically accept the default.
The assumption is, that developing bpel processes, should come with understanding of all those behaviors.
The problem for my understanding is that some of those behaviors were not so cleared until now.

Call web service from human task

Hi All,
I have a requirement to call webservice inside human task flow. I have three participant in my human task flow. Let suppose A, B and C. When A approves then task will be assigned to B and when B approves it will go for C.
My requirement is that, when A approves , then i need to call one external webservice to update database. I did not get any option to call webservice inside human task flow.
Please help.
Regards,
Sunil

Thanks userN for your wonderful reply but i have one more question.
As per your instructions i have enabled call back events in Human task flow. In this way i got while loop inside my BPEL. In onTaskAssigned operation i am now trying to call external web service. My requriment is to call external service and get data from service. After getting response from the webservice, i want to assign it to next participant.
But in this case, when user B approves, it goes to onTaskAssigned block and i am able to make external web service also but mean time, it has been assigned to User C which i do not want.
I want Human task flow to wait for the webservice response then only assign it to next participant.
Please help, is there any option to do it.
Regards,
Sunil

Human Task form data needs to be refreshed in case of abrupt shutdown.

Hi Everyone,
I've got an interesting challenge in my BPM process and was hoping for some guidance.
I'm using the 11g SOA suite. A BPM process within my application is designed such
1. A start node passes a String to a service task
2.The service task makes a call to a webservice operation and passes a payload to a human task
3. The human task has an ADF form built on it and a user can add data to this form in addition to the payload it recd in step 2. When the human task is updated, we have partial submits that invoke webservices to update this data in the database.
Now here's the challenge : If the form is abruptly closed, how do I refresh the data in my form so that it contains the changes made by the user. Do BPM processes auntomatically buffer such data? Or is there way in which I can loop back to the previous step of calling the webservice? All that my form has now is the payload from step 2, I'm resisiting writing a webservice call to refresh data in my form as I can't define what would trigger this webservice call.
Also, another thought I had was that this is a BPM process made of synchronous calls throughout. How can I rectify this so that data is always up to date in the form? Adapters come to mind, but not too sure how. Any guidance is much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Preethi.

Hi,
First thoughts:
I know you say that the data is not in a database, but I think that's the best place for a list like you're describing. Is there a reason why you don't want it in a database?
If it can't be in a database, you could put it in a file and read the file to build your list. That should be pretty easy to do. For changes to the list you maintain the file instead of the hardcoding in the application.

Warning after creating Human Task Flow in ADF project

I'm using JDev 11g and have created my SOA Composite containing a Human Task. After I generated the Task flow based on Human Task in my non-soa application, I get the following warnings which are preventing my application from building and deploying to the admin server. I have followed the instructions in the Developer's Guide for Implementing an ADF Task Flow for a Human Task.
Warning: <Feb 22, 2010 9:47:59 AM PST> <Error> <J2EE> <BEA-160187> <weblogic.appc failed to compile your application. Recompile with the -verbose option for more details. Please see the error message(s) below.>

Did I miss a step somewhere, I've double checked the class libraries, but am not sure what I should be looking for, I added the recommended libraries to the class path per the Developer's Guide.

Human Task – Using expressions in task parameters

Hi All,
In my BPEL process I have a Human Task with about 15 task parameters. I'm trying to define BPEL variables to each and every parameter. I am able to select a type 'variable' variable (ie. /ns18:OutputParameters/ns18:street_name) from tree view and save.
However, whenever I click on the little flash-light icon and create a type 'expression' using the XPath expression builder I'm having problems saving the change.
In details this is what happens,
0.) Double click on Human Task
1.) Click on flash-light icon in front of a parameter.
2.) Select Type expression variable.
3.) Click XPath expression builder.
4.) Select conversion function 'string()' and double click to add.
5.) Double click on the required BPEL variable to add.
6.) Something similar to the following expression is created,
string(bpws:getVariableData('InvokeGetAllABCInformation_FetchABCInformationService_OutputVariable','OutputParameters','/ns18:OutputParameters/ns18:ACC_ID'))
7.) Click OK twice and then Apply/OK to go back to BPEL diagram view.
8.) Now at this point the BPEL is not saved and the tab-title is italic to show it’s unsaved.
9.) Save the BPEL to disk.
10.) Double click on the Human Task to show parameters and variables defined.
11.) The previously defined expression type variable is still there.
12.) However now if I click either 'Apply' of 'OK' buttons without making any changes the BPEL diagram tab-title becomes italic and when the BPEL is saved to the disk, it forgets about all the expression type variables that was previously defined. Also note that cancelling wouldn't change anything.
This is a serious issue as I can't change any setting to a Human Task parameter list, as every time I make a change, I loose all the expression type variable declarations.
Could this be a bug in JDeveloper?
My JDeveloper Studio Edition Version is: 10.1.3.3.0.4157
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Shaminda.

ok, looks like no one knows what's going on,
Here's the workaround that I came up with, If anyone is interested.
Create a custom XSD (schema) with required variables in it (to be used by expression types vars), and use a copy operation before the human task and create the expression types in there. Then use the schema to map the values to the human task.

Adding Comments in BPM 11g on Human task

Hi
Whenever i am adding comments on bpm human task,I am getting the following error when i submit the form.
"Workflow Service Engine callback to SOA mesh failed.Callback operation ontaskcompleted from default/BPMProject!1.0/ApproveTask to Process/HumanTasks.ApproveTask.reference failed with error:Schema validation failed for message part payload.Please ensure at the message sender level that the data sent is schema compliant.Invalid text ' in element:type.Check the underlying exception.Ensure that the SOA composite is configure correctly."
But if i try to submit the human task without adding comments it works fine.
Please tell me what am i missing here.
Regards....

hi
any inputs...Urgent

Human Task string payload size restriction

We are developing a BPEL process with a Human Task component for an operational support app. The idea is whenever a message fails in the service bus due to transformation or validation error, we need to send that payload to this bpel process , which will create a human task and an operational support personnel ( both business & technical) will fix the payload via bpm worklist app and then bpel can resubmit the message to the service bus.
In this app, we are trying to send the failed message as a string payload to the task . Most of the payloads are of csv and fixed length type and we can't wrap it in xml , because the business users who might be acting on fixing this payload are not XML familiar. And the payload sizes vary from 1 kb -4 MB
When testing this , we have hit the below error during task initiation , which I think says string payloads should n't be more than 2000 bytes in size
Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-12899: value too large for column "DEV1164_SOAINFRA"."WFMESSAGEATTRIBUTE"."STRINGVALUE" (actual: 2183, maximum: 2000)
In this context, can you suggest what possible options I have. One option I can think of is wrapping the payload in XML instead of string, which is not so liked here..
TIA,
Atheek

We solved this by transforming the XML when entering a human task. The transformation removed any attributes in the payload. This solved the issue.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">

<xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/>

Error deploying Human Task Projects

I am having some problems with the deployment of Human Task ADF Projects to the SOA Server.
I've managed to deploy other ADF applications, however when I try to deploy a generated ADF Project for a BPEL Human Task I get the following error:
Weblogic Server Exception: weblogic.application.WrappedDeploymentException
Does anyone know what could be the cause of it?
I am using Jdeveloper 11g r1 (11.1.1.2.0) and SOA Server 11g (11.1.1.1.0) and WebLogic 11g R1 (10.3.1).

Test waits forever for a callback from a human task

Hi,
I've create a test to test a BPEL process. Now within the BPEL process there is a call to a human task service. I've emulated the task initiation message which is fine. I also tried to emulate the receive message from the human task service but during the test execution, the test waits forever to receive the callback from the human task service, even though i've specified the return message. Would appreciate help with this! I've posted my testbpel.bpel and the test case (CreditCardInvalidTest.xml) below. For both these files I've highlighted in bold the relevant bits of code that's giving me problems. Thanks

Hi hi, on a hunch I previewed the page in the browser, and copy pasted the faces/untitled1 portion of the URL there and pasted on the http://<server_address>:8001/BasicAPPDemo_Root therefore ending with http://<server_address>:8001/BasicAPPDemo_Root/faces/untitled1 and lo and behold I saw the little text box saying "Hello World" ;D
So with that i escalated, switched to the application where the page from BPM was located, deployed it and did the same trick.
But it borked it gave this error:
JBO-29115 Unable to construct the error message due to error java.lang.NullPointerException. Use the exception stack trace and error code to investigate the root cause of this exception. Root cause error code is JBO-.
I figured that the Default generation could be faulty so i created a new page and only recycled the data controls, created everything in read mode, just to test and deployed, when i tested, i was optimistic as the 1st tab didn't had any error (also does not have anything related to the HumanTask, even the data controls) the problem was in the other tabs as I show here.
Many thanks sirs, and sorry for wasting thy time.

Human Task Java API

Hi
I have a requirement to create human tasks without using soa. I am trying to use the Human task Java API. Using this API I can do all the operations like updating the outcome, adding/updating comments and updating assignee list but not able to create initial task. I am using initiateTask operation which requires task definition id. I dont know how to set this. Can anybody guide me
1. Can I create human tasks without using composite pure java api?
2. If I am able to create initial task what will be the task definition id? I tried to enter a new row in soa infra meta data table which did not work.
I really appreciate the help.
Thanks

Hi Sri
I have few Processes deployed to my SOA Domain and that too under different Partitions. For ease of maintenance, in EM Console under soa_infra node instead of default partition we can have our own Partitions also to deploy specific workflow projects under those partitions. If you don't have this thats ok.
I looked at Payload data for all the Tasks submitted by the first Initiator Task in EM Console, when we check the Flow Trace etc. Here is what I found for <taskDefinitionId> value for each of my different Processes. They do have some Pattern. So you had to use some sort of properties file to get these values so that if they are deployed to different partitions and with different versions, you do not have to modify your java code and recompile it. Just modify .properties file.
Anyhow, looks like the format for <taskDefinitionId> is something like this:
NameOfPartition + "/" + NameOfProcess + "!" + VersionNumber + "/" + NameOfInitiatorHumanTask
Here are some examples from my domain for some of the Process.
<taskDefinitionId>default/SalesQuoteProcess!1.0/EnterQuote</taskDefinitionId>
<taskDefinitionId>Ravi1_Partition/CreditReviewRequestProcess!1.0/HumanTaskCreditRequestor1</taskDefinitionId>
<taskDefinitionId>Jegga1_Partition/HolidayProcess!1.0/StartNewHolidayTask</taskDefinitionId>
You already tried hardcoding it I guess and it worked. Now try generating them dynamically using simple String appenders and sort of properties file to make it more dynamic. How often do we really change partition name or human task name itself or name of process itself. They are pretty much fixed. Now comes only the Version number. This can change with your new deployment if you want to have different version. So just read all these from .properties file.
Thanks

Human task preventing to press go button. (required field in payload)

We have an one step BPEL human task implementation and assigned user must be filll some field of payload before sending task.
The problem is we are using standart worklist app and assinged user can send the task from worklist without opening it. So we can't control required field.
We need a Precondition like rule
is there any way to
Our SOA suite version is 10.1.3.3.
Thanks.

Know this is probably not the direction you wanted to go, but look at Vinay Kumar's blog post on using an initializer: http://www.techartifact.com/blogs/2013/04/using-a-task-flow-initializer-to-initialize-a-task-flow.html#sthash.CG1CAgfz.1…. (pretty sure he got this from Nick Haralabidis's book: Oracle JDeveloper 11gR2 Cookbook: Nick Haralabidis: 9781849684767: Amazon.com: Books).
In this a prepare method is created in the Application Module impl java similar to your initialization code:
public void prepare() {
    // get emps vo instance
    EmployeesVOImpl employees;
    employees = (EmployeesVOImpl)getEmployeesVO();
    // remove all rows from emp rowset
    employees.executeEmptyRowSet();
    // add a new emp row
    EmployeesVORowImpl employee = (EmployeesVORowImpl) employees.createRow();
    // add new emp to rowset
    employees.insertRow(employee);
Once you expose this as being a Client Interface in your application module, you have the method available to you to drag into your task flow and set the task flow's "URL Invoke" property to "url-invoke-allowed"). This would give you the empty row you're going to populate.
I don't go this route and instead drag a CreateInsert method onto the task flow as the initial default activity and then flow to the page. To commit it, just create a binding for the Application Module's commit operation and invoke it from the backing bean when you intercept the submit action.
Hope this helps,
Dan
