Scheduling a Process Flow

Hi All,
I wanted to run my process flow at a predefined schedule. I had created a schedule for the same. But how do I specify which mapping need to be run on this schedule and how do I deploy this schedule. I am not able to see this schedule in my Location?
Thanks & Regards,
Danish

Hi
1. Deploy the process flow.
2. Create a schedule and set the time parameters
3.Right click on the process flow you want to schedule
4 select configure
5. Assign the schedule to the process flow using referred calendar. This will create a process flow job or scheduled job under the location string used for creating a schedule. The scheduled job would be having the name of the process flow but with suffix "_JOB"
6. Deploy the scheduled job.
7. Start the scheduled job manually initially. This will start/enable the schedule and the Process flow is executed for every interval of time.
Hope this helps
Regards

Scheduling the Process Flows in Oracle Warehouse Builder

Hi,
Can you please let me know how to schedule the process flows.I mean to make the process flow to run on a daily, weekly basis etc.Where exactly we need to schedule the process flows.
It would be great if you can help me out.
Thanks

You can schedule process flows the same way as you schedule mappings. See the following viewlet regarding the scheduling of OWB activities in Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM):

How to Schedule OWB Process Flows through OEM

Hi,
I have successfully created mappings and process flows for my project.
But now I want to schedule the process flows through OEM.
Following are my DB configurations..
OWB Version : 10g R1 (Oracle SID LVDSGDEV ) on windows
Runtime Owner: ATS_RUN_OWNER (Oracle SID LVDSGDEV )
Runtime User : ATS_RUN_USER (Oracle SID LVDSGDEV )
Work Flow Schema: OWF_MGR (Oracle SID LVDSGDEV)
Source & Target DB : 10g (Oracle SID LVRUNDEV) on windows
Process which I want to Schedule is....
Process Flow Location: ATS_LOC
Process Flow Name: PKG_DM
Process Name: BASE_LOAD
Can someone please suggest me, the procedure to schedule this process flow.....

You may choose just to schedule the mapping directly through OEM. Create an OEM SQLPlus job that calls the script:
@c:\owb_home\owb\rtp\sqlplus_exec_template.sql;
Check the beginning of the sqlplus_exec_template.sql. It will show examples of the parameters it accepts and it has some documentation. It works nicely.

Oracle 10G Database Control and Scheduling OWB Process Flow

Does anyone know how to go about scheduling an OWB Process Flow from
Oracle 10G Data Base Control. I knew how to do this with Oracle Enterprise Manager 9.2 but we recently upgraded to Oracle Db 10G and the interface has changed significantly.
Now the interface seems to require a PL/SQL stored procedure to be executed.
Is there a template procedure that is installed with 10G Data Base Control as there was for 9.2 i.e. oem_exec_template.sql?
Thanks! Deadline approaching fast...
Marion

I've used the oem_exec_template.sql successfully with OWB 10.1 and Oracle 10G Database Control, with a little trial and error at first.
I'm assuming that your job execution environment is set up correctly, ie. that you can properly execute jobs via the host agent.
1. Log on to Database Control as SYSTEM, select Jobs from the links at the bottom of the page
2. In the Results section, Create Job, select "SQL Script" and press Go
3. In the General section, enter Job Name, and as SQL Script enter e.g.:
@/u01/app/oracle/owb_oracle_home/owb/rtp/sql/oem_exec_template.sql owb_runtime WF_LOC PROCESS MY_PROCESS , ,
4. In the Databases section, add your target database
5. In the Credentials section, I select "Override Preferred Credentials" and use the agent account (oracle on my Linux system) and db user owb_access (OWB Runtime Access user)
6. Review Schedule tab and submit
Comments on step 3:
- the oem_exec_template.sql script must be installed according to the path specified in step 3, on the database host where the OWB Runtime Repository is located
- owb_runtime is the owner of my OWB Runtime Repository
- WF_LOC is the name of my Workflow Location as seen in OWB Deployment Manager
- MY_PROCESS is the name of a deployed Workflow Process
- the commas indicate that I don't supply any system or custom parameters.
- step 3 is actually a shell command line that is interpreted by eg. /bin/sh on Unix or cmd on Windows, and must obey proper quoting rules. On windows, I had to specify the empty commas as "\," (including dblquotes)

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 "OWF_MGR.WF_ENGINE", line 3920
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

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

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 ...

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.

How to schedule mappings to process flows?

Hi,
I have shceduled a calendar (Job) which is referring to a process flow. But how can I make sure that the mappings are referring to the same process flow?
E.g. I have scheduled job at 10 AM , I have created the process flow for 10 AM referring to the same scheduled job.
My understanding here is there is a hierarchy : Scheduled jobs > Process Flows > Mappings
I have configured the process flow to run it at a scheduled job, now I want the mappings to understand to run at the same time as that of the schedule.
And also when I start the process flow all the mappings should get executed.
Is there any parameter to tell the process flow that all these mappings falls under you.
Hope I have made myself clear.
Can anyone please look into this query?
Thnks in adv..

When I double click and open my process flow I am not able to see any mapping. We have stored procedures written:

How to pass a paramter to a schedued process flow

I have a process flow with a one varchar type parameter.
I want to schedule this process flow and for that I have created a schedule and then attached it to the process flow using Process Flow -> Configuration -> Referred Calendar Option.
Now my issue was how can I pass the parameter value into the process flow?
OWB Version : 10.2.x
Thanks,
mc

Hi Si,
This is what I did.
I have deployed the process flow with schedule and then goto control center and start the job.
Then under parameters it's ask for a "EVAL_LOCATION" value. Which is something else.
In my process flow I have a parameter called "Job_Name" and I want to pass a value for that parameter. But in either control center, no in direct API allow me to pass a value for that parameter.
Thanks,

Can we run process-flow from outside OWB

Hi All,
I am scheduling my process-flows daily in night. If any process-flow fails, they will rectify the problems and they want to run the process flow manually, outside own, like SQL.
Regards,
Kumar.

Hi Detlef,
I tried to execute the following, I dint get any response and the sqlplus closed automatically. When I saw the execution details no executing had taken palce. And even I tried to execute the command by commenting the exit in the script.
sqlplus RA_OWB1/RA_OWB1@RADEV1 @C:\OraHome_1\owb\rtp\sql\sqlplus_exec_template.sql RA_OWB1 PlatformSchema ProcessFlow SAI_PF "," ","
Is there any external (oracle function), so that I can pass any number of Process-flows as parameters for execution. Client will create a form with a list of check boxes and execute button. when the user selects the check boxes according to his rerquirements and click execute. then all the process-flows should run.
Regards,
Kumar.

How to stop OWB Process Flow job

I have a problem.
For scheduling OWB Process Flows I use EM (create Job - SQL Script) in which I schedule jobs with script @/home/oracle/scripts/oem_exec_template.sql.
Sometimes it happens, that the job doesn't finish and I also can't expedite it through Workflow manager because it is not listed there. So next executions for this job doesn't fire, because it is still active (it is shown in EM as Running …..and also I can't stop it there).
I also can't find the session for this job and also in dictionary I can't find the job, I went through these views, but nowhere I can't find any of my scheduled jobs, and of course also not the ones that are still running.
DBA_SCHEDULER_JOBS
DBA_SCHEDULER_RUNNING_JOBS
DBA_SCHEDULER_JOB_RUN_DETAILS
Where in dictionary can I find my jobs?
How can I kill my running jobs?
OS: Red Hat Linux 3
DB: 10.1.0.3.0
OWB: 10.1.0.2.0
I'm quite desperate about this isue,
Thank you,
Gorazd

Gorazd,
the best way to identify problem with processflow execution - using OWB Runtime Audit Browser.
Other variant - using public OWB runtime view, for example for reporting executions of you process run this select under OWB repository owner or any OWB user:
select created_on,elapse_time,return_result from all_rt_audit_executions
where object_name='<your processflow name in uppercase>' order by created_on;
RETURN_RESULT must be equal 'OK' and ELAPSE_TIME (in seconds) greater then 0.
If this query returns rows with null RETURN_RESULT or RETURN_RESULT<>'OK' or with zero elapse_time and this cases match (by date) with EM problems then you need analyze process executions in more detail with Runtime Audit Browser.
Alternatively use select from view ALL_RT_AUDIT_EXEC_MESSAGES / ALL_RT_AUDIT_MAP_RUN_ERRORS / ALL_RT_AUDIT_PROC_RUN_ERRORS.

Syntax to launch an OWB process flow via shell

Hi all,
do you know what's the syntax to launch a process flow o a mapping via shell?
I need it to schedule a process flow via crontab.
Thanks in advance
Steve

Hi Steve,
use SQL*Plus for executing OWB script sqlplus_exec_background_template.sql/sqlplus_exec_template.sql (these scripts are located in OWBHOME/owb/rtp/sql directory) or stored function WB_RT_API_EXEC.RUN_TASK.
You need connect with SQL*Plus to any registered OWB user on target (DWH) database (for example, you can connect as target schema).
For more details look at chapter [Using SQL*Plus to Schedule and Execute Jobs|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31080_01/doc/owb.102/b28225/api_4sqlforjobs.htm#i1064950] from OWB API and Scripting Reference (it is for OWB10gR2, for OWB11g procedure is slightly different).

Oleg

Sheduling OWB process flow.

Hi,
I am new to OWB. I created a process flow. And I am able to execute it using OWB. But now I want to shedule my process flow.
I am using oracle warehouse builder 10g R 1.
I am using work flow server 2.6.3
I am having oracle enterprize manager. But I don't know how to shedule jobs.
Thanks and regards
Gowtham sen.

From OEM you can use the following to schedule your process flow package.
1, Select the RUN SQL*PLUS Script
2, "owner" "Process_Flow_Location" "PROCESS" "PF_NAME" "," ","
3, Then import the OEM_EXEC_TEMPLATE.SQL
4, Check the Overide credential with the Username and Password
This step is working for me. Also if you get an Role error make sure the comment
the following lines in the OEM_EXEC_TEMPLATE.sql
REM alter session set current_schema = &REPOS_OWNER;
REM set role wb_r_&REPOS_OWNER, wb_u_&REPOS_OWNER;
