Issue in invoking the BPEL process from Oracle using a SOAP Request

Hi,
We are facing an issue while invoking a deployed Bpel Process from Oracle Applications 11.5.10..
Using a concurrent program( Unix / Host program ) we are passing the input variables required for the Bpel process in the ProcessRequest tags and forming this as a SOAP message payload.
Then trying to invoke the deployed bpel process using the end point location using HTTP POST..but nothing is happening..
The bpel process is not getting invoked when i look at the Console and also checked for the Manual Recovery queue..it's not stuck there as well..
Have set the Transfer Time Out to 25 minutes using UTL_HTTP.SET_TRANSFER_TIMEOUT(1500);
Could someone please help us as soon as possible with this ..as this is critical and we are stuck at the moment.
The logic is mentioned below :
UTL_HTTP.SET_TRANSFER_TIMEOUT(1500);
UTL_HTTP.SET_DETAILED_EXCP_SUPPORT(ENABLE=>TRUE);

How to call a BPEL process from Oracle Apps Java Concurrent program

Hello,
I need to trigger a BPEL process from Oracle Apps. Can anybody tell me how to do that? I have two triggering option--
1. On button click from a Form 6i screen
2. Using Java Concurrent program.
Thanks in advance.
Debkanta

I am not sure how concurrent program works, but may be one of the way might work out, let me know if Java Concurrent Program works a bit different way
- [if async] Through concurrent program, you can insert message token to db or aq, and BPEL can be instantiated from there
or
- If it supports pure java call, then you can look at multiple documents (e.g. http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/bpel/pdf/orabpel-Tutorial7-InvokingBPELProcesses.pdf) to invoke your process
- You can also use oracle db utility to invoke soap operation and get the result back

How to create pdf files in UNIX directory from oracle reports

I would like to know how to create pdf files in UNIX directory from oracle reports.
Thanks,

Please make your question more clear . Also mention the reports version.
1) If you are runnning reports in Unix, you can give
.... destype=file desformat=pdf desname=<filename>
in command line
Please refer docs below.
2) If by your question you mean
"My reports server is running in Windows but I want to ftp my files to Unix after creating it"
then the answer is that you can use pluggable destination "ftp"
.... destype=ftp desformat=pdf desname=<ftp url>
Pluggable destinations download

How to retrieve information on UNIX Host from oracle Forms

Hi,
Has anybody tried to retrieve manipulated information
on the Unix Server From the oracle forms running on a client ?.
If it is to be done by user exit and calling the pro*c code
then where should the pro*c code exist ?. on server or on client.
1. If on server then can that code return the value to form ?.
2. If on client then can that code access the unix server and
return the value ?..
OR
any other method or tool to do the above.
Thnaks and regards
null

I can only tell you what we've done for our system. We have
client applications which need to send/recv information from the
UNIX server (report submission, etc.)
We have a deamon (written in PRO*C) which runs on the UNIX
server. This deamon constantly monitors a pipe (using the
DBMS_PIPE package available with ORACLE 7.1). The client apps.
send requests through this pipe and wait for the server deamon to
process the request and send responses down a "return pipe".
This approach has served us well.
With ORACLE 8, you can (according to what I've read) link
external object modules (similar to ORA_FFI on the client), which
would make these OS specific functions available to the database
developer via PL/SQL but we're just now looking at ORACLE 8 so I
have no first hand experience with this.

Invoking ActiveBPEL Process from Oracle

Hi,
I've a problem when trying to invoke a process that is deployed in ActiveBPEL Open Source Engine as Web Service.Short description of the (simple) scenario:
I defined a BPEL Process in Oracle that receives a message (containing two strings) and delegates it to the Active BPEL Process which concatenates these string and returns to resutling string to the Oracle Process. Then the result is returned to the client.
Deployment of the process works fine, but my Problem is that when starting the BPEL Process the invocation of the other process failed. I analyzed the reason for that and found out that Oracle changes message parts order for the invoke inputVariable. That is the WSDL definition of the ActiveBPEL process is the following
<wsdl:message name="echoMessage">
<wsdl:part name="echoPart1" type="xsd:string"/>
<wsdl:part name="echoPart2" type="xsd:string"/>
</wsdl:message>
and in the Variable definition defines "echoPart2" as the first message part and sends
<echPart2></echPart2>
<echPart1></echPart1>
to the ActiveBPEL process and the process can't handle this. So the Oracle process never gets an answer from the ActiveBPEL process.
The WSDL is auto-generated from ActiveBPEL.
My question is: Are there any ideas to influence this behaviour of changing the variable definitions order. Why does Oracle change the order defined in the WSDL-File. Is a XSD-Schema file recommeded?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Greetings
Sven

The namespace is defined! Now I add the complete WSDL-Definition:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<wsdl:definitions name="echo1_1" targetNamespace="http://www.diplom.de/ns/echo1_1" xmlns:tns="http://www.diplom.de/ns/echo1_1" xmlns:plnk="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/05/partner-link/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/">
<wsdl:message name="echoCallback">
<wsdl:part name="result" type="xsd:string"/>
</wsdl:message>
<wsdl:message name="echoMessage">
<wsdl:part name="echoPart1" type="xsd:string"/>
<wsdl:part name="echoPart2" type="xsd:string"/>
</wsdl:message>
<wsdl:portType name="echoPortType">
<wsdl:operation name="doIt">
<wsdl:input message="tns:echoMessage"/>
<wsdl:output message="tns:echoCallback"/>
</wsdl:operation>
</wsdl:portType>
<plnk:partnerLinkType xmlns:plnk="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/05/partner-link/" name="echoPLT">
<plnk:role name="echo_Provider">
<plnk:portType name="tns:echoPortType"/>
</plnk:role>
</plnk:partnerLinkType>
</wsdl:definitions>
The error does not occure, when I'm defining the types in a XSD-File. But I still cannot invoke my ActiveBPEL process from the Oracle BPEL Engine. The process will be timed out in the BPEL-Console.
Any experiences with this?

Start BPM process from ABAP report. Need some investigations.

Hi there!
I have to start a BPM process from ABAP report. I found an article http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/10d75b45-7fef-2b10-bc8e-c6012e0a9457?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true and have done everything it describes but the process doesn't start.
What I've done:
1) Created a service proxy in SE80.
2) Created a logical port in SOAMANAGER.
3) Write a code to start a WebService in ABAP Report.
But when I start a program nothing happens, no errors.
What analysis I did:
1) See logs and traces in SOAMANAGER - there is nothing appears after I start the report.
2) Tried to test connection to my WebService in SM59 - the connection works, but it use a POST method instead of GET:
Error: com.sap.engine.services.webservices.espbase.server.additions.wsa.WSAddressingException: com.sap.SOA.wsr.030104 - Expected request method POST. Found GET.
But I think it is OK and from the report it use a right method.
3) Tried to delete a logical port - the error of communication problem appears. So it means that all settings are right.
4) No logs in NWA logs
My thoughts - if there is not any errors and no result, it can be because the user authorization. E.g. it tried to start a process by a user who doesn't have SAP_BPM_SuperAdmin role. But I can't find a way how to check what really happens. So I want to ask for a help, colleagues:).

Dear Kirill Zhuklinets,
Can you share your solution as i am facing the same error while trying to consume BPM webservice from SRM ECC
Error Message from SRM ECC :
Exception occurred in communication framework:Error in HTTP Framework:405Method Not Allowed
Log from BPM Web service
Error: process()
[EXCEPTION]
com.sap.engine.interfaces.webservices.runtime.RuntimeProcessException: com.sap.engine.services.webservices.espbase.server.additions.wsa.WSAddressingException: com.sap.SOA.wsr.030104 - Expected request method POST. Found GET.
Please share your solution..

Start GP Process from VC using Web Service with parameters

Hi,
II´m trying to instantiate a GP process from a Vc iView using a Web Service; I always used Instantiation via URL but using this method I don´t have any "return" data from GP saying "Ok - The process started succesfully".
The questions are:
1) Is possible to start a GP process via Web Services through a VC Flash iview? If so, is posible to send input parameters to the process via the web service?
2) Does the web service returns any message with the status of the process? ( something like: "the process started succesfully")
Best regards,
Marco.

1) Is possible to start a GP process via Web Services through a VC Flash iview? If so, is posible to send input parameters to the process via the web service?
A: Yes. You can send input parameters to the service through WS.
2) Does the web service returns any message with the status of the process? ( something like: "the process started succesfully")
A: Yes. The return message can be added to the WS. It depends on how do designed the WS.

Hi,
It's because .bat (or .cmd) files are scripts and not executables and are interpreted using the command line executable - which is normally cmd.exe (although you can buy others).
So you need to call cmd.exe passing the bat file name as a parameter, something like
cmd.exe /c batchfilename
Without the /c you will never get a response.
However, this brings us to the bizarre conclusion that you are going to:
call cmd.exe (a shell interpreter)
to launch a batch file
that calls cygwin (another shell interpreter)
which then runs ls
When shouldn't that just be:
call cmd.exe to run the dir command
Or better yet, If you are just after a file name listing and you seem to understand Java stored procs, why not just write a JSP to list the contents of a directory? No problems with OS dependant commands, scripts and 3rd party interpreters. Plenty of examples of that out on the internet as well.

Start BPM Process from ABAP with another User as GUEST

Hi all,
i would like to start the BPM Process by a webservice. It works if the user GUEST has the role BPM_SuperAdmin.
My question is: How can i chance this user, who call the webservice starting the process. The user, who starts the process by calling the webservice should be my own user instead of GUEST.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Christoph

the last reply is regarding the configuration at consumer side.
of course you have to configure at the service provider side to enable the logon ticket as acceptable authentication method.
I checked at my side, i found the the service for triggering bpm is already configured to use id/pwd and logon ticket as authentication method.
you can check in this way,
CE nwa-> SOA Management->Application and Scenario Communication-->Single Service Administration
find your service, if you haven't assign any profile to your service, there will be only one configuration generate by system
you can edit this configuration.
go to configuration tab, select the endpoint, select security tab in the bottom tab list.
change the setting there.

How to run a unix script from oracle warehouse Builder

Hi,
can any one share the information about, running the unix script or scripts using oracle warehouse builder.
Regards,
Ak

One way is define a workflow. Inside the workflow you put
1)an external process that "points to" the shell script and then
2)put the mapping
The external process must have the "COMMAND" parameter set to the name of the shell script. If the script has parameters you must put them in the "PARAMETERS LIST" separated by "?" (for example, ?par1?par2).
The path where OWB executes the external process I think is the ORACLE_HOME of the OWB.
f you don't use workflow, you can try with this more complex solution. I tried with 9i and OWB 9.2 and it's working well.
You create an autonomous procedure (within a package or not) :
CREATE PROCEDURE Extract_Email_List
DECLARE
PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION;
And use the sys.shell script that you need your dba/unix admin to install first of all, with a call like that.
sys.shell('sh ' || txt_dir_name || '/send_email_marketing.sh ' || txt_dir_name || ' ' || email_addr );
Then you import your procedure into OWB and use it in your mapping with the "pre-mapping" icon (you can set parameters for your proc with constants if you want).
To implement sys.shell, go to metalink and find "Note:168065.1" - "How to call a UNIX shell script from PL/SQL".
Once it's done once, it's not so bad. But I would still recommend the workflow approach also..
I hope this helps.

Start host process from within guest OS

I am using VMWare Workstation 10.
Some of my vm's are dedicated to compiling code using CruiseControl.NET.
What I am attempting to do is add a step that automates testing a completed setup on several clean virtual machines. From what I can see, the guest OS will be required to 'announce' to the host OS that a build has completed and then launch a process to revert the virtual machines, start the virtual machines and then launch a process that does the following:
Copy the setup.exe from a known location to a directory on the virtual machine
Launch the setup.exe with parameters from a command line
Wait for setup.exe to finish
Launch an automated testing tool to validate basic functionality of the application.
Wait for automated testing to complete
Shut down the virtual machines
Wait for next successful build
I am attempting to work on this problem using vmrun.exe within a powershell script. With this script I can successfully revert virtual machines, start and stop virtual machines.
What I am trying to work out is how to pass data from CruiseControl.net in the guest operating system to the host operating system. So I am turning to this community to see if anyone here has any ideas?
I have not read of any ideas of communication from the guest to the host while there is a 'host' <yeah, pun is intended> of information of sending info from the host to the guest. Note that the guest OS does not have VMWare Workstation installed, nor is it desirable to do this.
My initial thoughts, even as I write this question, is that all of the guest OS build machines map a drive to the host. At the end of of a successful build the setup is copied to a directory and a sentinel file is updated with information. The host OS will have CruiseControl.net installed and will monitor for file changes for the sentinel file. When changed then it will start the automated testing process.
Is there a better way to accomplish this goal?
I appreciate any suggestions.
Sincerely,
Dan Lee | Release Engineer

>I guess I was expecting VPC to work like Remote Desktop, where you would automatically see the host drives listed in Windows Explorer ("C on hostname", "D on hostname", etc).
It really should, but there's a RDP update that messes up this
functionality.
>Edit 2: I've just set up a mapped drive, but it seems very unreliable. It gets slower and slower as I "drill down" through folders on the host, and right-clicking a file to copy it to the guest causes Windows Explorer to hang, and never
shows the context menu. I've tried uninstalling IS from the guest and re-installing/enabling it, but it made no difference. Thoughts?
Turn of all TCP and UDP offloading in the NIC properties on the host. Not
all NIC's are fully compatible on that feature.

Invoke and Execute Unix command from Oracle PL/SQL

Dear All,
I am currently working in the development of multi user application in ORACLE.
My problem is,
I have to remove a temporary file created in unix server when a particular condition is satisfied in a PL/SQL proccedure.
I searched for this and got solution to use DBMS_PIPE package.
Can you help me how to pack the content 'rm file_name' from different users working in different sessions and how to execute. Can you please explain me how the server manages calls from different sessions and replies to individual sessions.
Thanks in advance,
Shenbaga.

Well if doesn't raise an exception it succeeded. Is that sufficient acknowledgement?
