Scheduled process flow fails, run directly works ok

I've got a hard time with a process flow tthat needs to be scheduled.
When I start the process flow with wb_rt_api_exec it rus ok,
when I schedule the job calling wb_rt_api_exec in the Oracle Job scheduler it fails the moment it starts. The error message tells me I've got invalid user credentials, I cannot acces the wokflow location with the supplied userid and password.
It's the same user to schedule the job as the one that starts wb_rt_api_exec directly.
What can be rwrong?

Hi,
I have not used oracle job scheduler but just a taught....If ur id is able to access the package to execute the processflow that does not mean that the same id has the rights to do such actions thru a oracle job scheduler right?hope this leads to something...Do let me know any details reagrding the same....

Scheduled process flows are not running automaticaly-OWB database clonning

What I did:
1.     Cloned the entire OWB repository database from live (bidb01.bh.xyz.com) server to new (green1.bh.xyz.com) server.
******     Source     New
Physical Hostname     bidb01.bh.xyz.com     green1.bh.xyz.com

2.     Followed the Metalink Note 434272.1 (How To Update Warehouse Builder After A Database Cloning)
Issue:
Before doing the step-2, every time we put the new database up the normal process flows which run every day (10 AM, 1 AM , 2 AM , 2 PM, etc.) got executed on the production environment and hung the original processes that are being run on the production environment.
After following the note 434272, scheduled process flows in production is working fine but in the new server it is not at all working.
Could anyone please help me to fix this?

The issue was resolved by renaming the workflow. What is learned here is, we should not have same workflow name for two different workspace.

Help with scheduling Process Flows in Workflow in 10gR2

Dear All
I am after some help with the scheduling of process flows (PF) in Workflow in OWB 10gR2. I am trying to set up some PF’s to handle the refresh of some staging tables from various source systems. I have created a separate Process Flow Module for each source systems, mainly just to keep them separate and organised. I have a number of mappings which all run fine if execute manually or linked directly to a schedule/job. The problem I am encountering is when I try to run process flows from schedules. I have created process flows ok and have run them manually and they complete fine so I know that the content of the PF is ok. After linking and deploying the jobs I can never get all the process flows to run from the various schedules. What appears to happen is that the first PF works ok and any other PF that are within the same Process Flow Module/packages also runs ok even if its running off as different schedules. However PF’s under the other Process Flow Module fail with the following error
CC_DAILY_0400

ORA-06512: at line 1
Following this error the PF will not even run manually! If I then stop the schedule and either drop or replace this failed PF thus redeploying, the PF then runs fine manually and if the restart the schedule it runs ok the next evening. My problem is that this then appears to impact on the other PF’s which all though have not been touched and ran ok the previous evening they then fail the following evening with the same error

ORA-06512: at line 1

I basically can not get both sets to run even though they are on separate modules and separate schedules.Has anyone any idea as to what could be wrong or if I am setting something up in a strange way which would cause these symptoms.
All help or advice greatly appreciated

Can I change a process flow at run time??

Hello everybody,
I work in Oracle BPMS 11.1.1.5. I need to change a process flow at run time due to changes in the business logic, I mean add, delete and modify tasks, navigation flow, etc. I know business rules can be modified using Oracle BPM Composer, but I couldn't find the way to modify the process flow. I have seen other BPMS, like BizAgi, for ex. that can do that. Do Oracle BPMS have that functionality? Please I need it a lot!!!!
Regards and thanks in advance,
isabelbernely

Hi
As JonPetter mentioned, you can get this and preferably get only from Support. I hope you have some license if you going to prod with this. Use that and if possible talk to your sales guy and create a support account. Then request the feature pack. The thing is, if we put it in some public shared location, it is the violation of using the oracle product. Unless someone takes risks they may upload but still its not advisable.
Sorry

Scheduling process flows and mappings

Hello
I have created many process flows. Now i want to schedule it. I know i can use OEM, but i need to log in as DBA. i also know that you can use owb scheduler module to schedule a process flow. but i want to schedule it using sql plus. i found a link on scheduling process flow in sql plus for older versions of OWB. Can we use the same script for OWB 10.2? here is the link - http://www.dba-oracle.com/oracle_news/2005_7_7_Scheduling_an_OWB.htm
Please let me know how to schedule a process flow in OWB 10.2 in sql plus. It would be great if you could post the sql script required to schedule OWB 10.2 process flows.
Thank You

Hi,
the web server named by the link is down, so a general answer.
You can use the scripts sqlplus_exec_template.sql and oem_exec_template.sql from the directory <OWBHOME>/owb/rtp/sql and schedule it with cron or at or scheduler or ...

Process flow fails in OEM

I am trying to schedule an external process in OEM. The task has been successfully deployed from Deployment Manager. The process flow location is owf_locn and the process flow name is stg_tgt. The parameters that I specified were "runtime_owner owf_locn process stg_tgt". The scheduled job ends with the error below. Preferred credentials were set for the runtime_user. Have I selected the correct parameters or is there something else that I have missed?

Hi Igor
We're getting close, but not quite there yet. You may have missed my last posting due to the similar time of posting.
My batch files will require reference to an application on a remote machine. Thus while I can copy the batch file to the server, the application referenced in the batch file must refer to files on another remote server specified as \\server2\d$\external.ear. As you can see this requires an administrative account on the remote server to access the 'd$' directory. In my last posting I had reached the stage where the batch job was denied access to the remote server, but otherwise (eroneously) reported success. What account do these jobs run against so that I can set up access permissions on the remote server?
I tried your suggestions. #1 fails for the above access problem. #2 runs for hours until I cancel - this is the case anytime that I have tried using c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe. #3 Not sure what you mean by set up and register a file location?

Problems scheduling process flow

Using OWB I have create a number of mappings and also a process flow using the defined mappings. All the mappings and the process flow are successfully deployed and can be executed without problems from Deployment Manager. I can even successfully execute my process from OS command line using the sqlplus_exec_template.sql file :
sqlplus vlad_proiect/vlad@proiect @F:\Oracle\OraWB92\owb\rtp\sql\sqlplus_exec_template.sql vlad_runtime ORACLE_WORK_FLOW PROCESS INCARC "," ","
where :
vlad_proiect/vlad my user name and passwd
proiect my database SID
vlad_runtime is the Runtime Repository owner
ORACLE_WORK_FLOW is the location of the process flow
INCARC is the process name.
I tried to do the same thing using OEM. I followed the example
http://otn.oracle.com/products/warehouse/htdocs/oem_scheduling_viewlet_swf.html
and the indication from WB User guide chapter Scheduling Mappings and Process Flows (13-19) but the scheduled job fails with the following reason :
VNI-2015 : The Node preferred credentials for the target node are either invalid or do not have sufficient privileges to complete the operation.
On Windows platforms, the Node credentials specified for the Windows target should have the "Logon as a batch job" privilege.
I have created the job as follows:
Tab General
Job name: TEST
Selected target: Proiect
Tab Tasks
Tasks: Run SQL*Plus script
Tab Parameters
Parameters: vlad_runtime ORACLE_WORK_FLOW PROCESS INCARC "," ","
Override preferred credentials: checked
User name: vlad_runtime_acc the Runtime Repository access user
Password: vlad the Runtime Repository acc user passwd
I have imported the script oem_exec_template.sql
And in the Preferred credentials (from Configuration->Preferences->Administrator preferences) I set :
Database : Proiect with user vlad_proiect and my passwd.
Node : localhost with user vlad_runtime and his passwd.
Somewhere something is wrong set (or not set at all?) or ?

Razvan,
When OEM executes a scheduled job, it will logon to the node (i.e. your machine) as the user that is specified in the preferred credentials of OEM. That user (provided there is one... which is not necessarily default) is an operating system user and must have the 'logon as batch job' privilege. You can set this option (on Windows 2000) by going into control panel, administrative tools, local security policy, local policies, user rights assignment. Look for 'logon as batch job' and make sure the user being used to logon to the node has the privilege.
This setup is actually provided in the installation guide as well.
Hope this helps,
Mark.

Scheduling Process flows

I have created process flow and created and schedule and attached it to the process flow thru configure and refferred calander and depoyed the process flow again. But the flow doesnt start.
Is there anything else to do. I read in form that some _job appears in Control center. I dont find in my control center.
Can anyone explain me any other steps which are required to run PF based on schedue.
Thanks..

Hi Tom
You will find pfname_JOB in the control center. if you expand the location under which you created your Schedule, you will see a scheduled jobs tree expand that and then you will find your schduled job( pfname_ JOB) which requires deployment to start running.
Hope this helps

Scheduling Process flows in scheduling tool Control M

Hi,
We need to schedule 3 to 4 process flows through the general scheduling tool "Control M". So how do we do this? I mean where should we login to run the OWB jobs (Process Flows) through Control M.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Harsha

Create a shell script that will take in the required parameters you need (i.e.connection User/pwd@SID and OWB mapping inputs if required), which call sqlplus with a procedure that will run your workflow.
My current client migrates all OWB incl Worflows created through OWB by the means of export. This is why the prefix of the workflow activity will differ from an environment from another.
Here is a procedure that will launch the OWF and wait for the workflow to be completed before it exits and return control to CONTROL-M.

How to schedule Process Flow in OWB10gR2 ?

Hi,
I have a mapping and a corresponding process flow that has the mapping within. Both the mapping and process flow are deployed successfully and they also execute successfully when executed from control center.
Now I want to run the process flow daily at 4 am in the morning. I have created a schedule and defined the parameters. Then for the process flow, I have added the schedule to the "Referred Calander". Then in control center I got a new object with _JOB as suffix. I deployed that as well and that was successfull. This implies that I have now a job that is scheduled to run daily at 4 am.
But the next day when I checked the target table that the mapping (wrapped in the process flow which in turn was scheduled to run at 4 am ) was supposed to insert some records, there was no record at all !!! Seemed to me that the job was not kicked off at all at the specified time.
I am using --
OWB client version : 10.2.0.1.31
OWB repository version : 10.2.0.1.0
Oracle Workflow Version : 2.6.4.0.0
Database version : 10g Enterprise edition release 10.2.0.1.0
Does anyone have any idea how do I make this arrangement running?
Regards,
Swagata

Chino -
Once you start the job, do you have to leave the "Job Details" window open in order for teh scheduled task to run?

Scheduling Process Flow

Hi
I'm having trouble setting up a schedule in OWB, can anyone help?
I'm using OWB 10.2.0.3, I've created a Schedule and Process Flow, I've configured the Process Flow so that the REFERRED SCHEDULE property is set. I've redeployed the process flow. So far so good?
I presume I now need to deploy the scheduled job (so I can start it?), however when I try I get error:
ORA-27475: "BIR_ROLAP.PF_SS_SCHEDULE_JOB" must be a job
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_ISCHED", line 178
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SCHEDULER", line 544
ORA-06512: at line 1
PF_SS_SCHEDULE_JOB
Create
Error
RPE-02183: Task runner procedure PPF_SS_SCHEDULE_JOB is not valid.
Am I missing a step?
Cheers
Si

Check if the foll is done:
say there is a process flow 'PF1' and in this process flow click on configure and set the referred calendar to the new schedule that you have created.
also make sure the identification and evaluation locations are setup for the process flow.
Deploy the process flow.
This works for me.

Spawning off process flow that runs independent

Is there a way to setup the warehouse builder to spawn off another process flow that the first process flow will not depend upon waiting for the second to complete before moving on. I presume I could right a stored procedure that schedules a job that calls the other process flow but is there a way built into the builder that would allow me to do this?

Hi
If you have any map inputs make sure they are also declared in the processflow map - you basicly need to bind them.
You probably need to investigate from the beginning to understand your result of incoherent data.
What I would to first is.
1. Generete an intermediete code - choose your table as outgroup.
2. Review the code - are there any loading hints ?
3. Debug the map
Check your locations.
If everything seems right then the problem should lay on your workflow manager.
Remember that the workflow manager has only one namespace, so watchout for mapping name. I had strange executions on my PF because one of my maps had a "½" in the name.
Check the settings of the map - if you have enterd a set based run in your map and a row based run in the processflow.
Remember the setting in the processflow is the "superior" one
Just ideas what you can do.
Cheers

Process Flow fails to import

Hi,
I am trying to import a process flow from one design repository to another and am failing misrably! I have saved an mdl export of the process flow from the repository where it was created and am simply importing the same mdl into the new rep. I do not get any errors during the import however do get a number of warnings like the one below:
Warning at line 23: MDL1312: Referenced logical location with name <LOC_X> and UOID <109A0BEE09814D6DE04400306EF40E82> not found for PROCESSMODULE <WAREHOUSE_x>. Logical location not set for this module.
The result of the import is that the process flow is not imported at all.
what does it mean by Logical Location?
Any help on this would be most appreciated.
Thanks
Mitesh

Perfect..thats what I was missing. This has soved my original issue but I'm hitting a new one...in my project export there is an invalid process flow (a process flow is making a call to a function that returns a incorrect datatype) and this is causing my import to error. My question now is; is it possible to import an invalid process flow?
thanks for your help on this.

Process flow fails to complete when another in the same package is deployed - OWB 11.2.0.2

Hi,
I have problem with OWB Process Flows whereby whenever I deploy a process flow within an existing package, another Process Flow becomes (unknown to me) invalid and will not complete execution.
When deploying the first process flow, I am synchronising all mappings within it, saving, validating and saving again before deploying it. This process flow then functions ok but then a random process flow within the same package malfunctions. By this I mean the process flow does not complete, as if it has lost some connectors. Has anybody else had this problem?

HI Richard,
Thanks for your reply. Yes I agree with your answer but sadly this does not seem to be the cause of the problem in my case as I always stop any running processes and double check with the list_requests.sql as provided and where necessary execute the deactivate_execution.sql and/or abort_exec_request.sql only if absolutely required. Finally I check again with list_requests.sql and if necessary run in the OWF_MGR schema: WF_PURGE.TOTAL and/or the following sql (again only if required) :
BEGIN
FOR cur_rec in (SELECT ITEM_TYPE,ITEM_KEY FROM OWF_MGR.WF_ITEM_ACTIVITY_STATUSES
WHERE ACTIVITY_STATUS = 'ACTIVE')
LOOP
OWF_MGR.WF_PURGE.MOVE_TO_HISTORY(cur_rec.ITEM_TYPE,cur_rec.ITEM_KEY);
COMMIT;
END LOOP;
END;
So I am sure that no processes are running before I begin deployment. Thanks again for your reply.
