Sub-Process Main Process Web-Service

Hi,
I have a main Process and a sub-process inside this main process.
I have a Wait activity inside this sub-process, which waits for an external call from another system to call my Web-Service at this Wait activity. This Web-Service is built as Process As a Web-Service Call.
But I fail to get any information back from this Wait Activity which keeps waiting for the call from the external system which calls my Web-Service at this Wait Activity.
But the external system is calling my Web-Service and it gets a error notification from BPM..
Why is that so?
Is it because its a sub-process inside a main process or something else?

Did you use PAPI code inside your web service or did u just use PAPI Web Services ( like did u just pressed the button Launch PAPI Web Services ) and it created the WSDL for you and u used it to create the client?
I am using the latest version of OBPM..
Oracle 10.3.10
Can you let me know what do u mean by PAPI interface.. Is it the PAPI code of is the PAPI Web Service which is built by BPM automatically and could be used?

Errors when processing web service call

Hello Experts,
Based on a requirement, I got a URL based on WSDL, using which I created a Consumer Proxy in SAP.
I created a Logical Port in SOA Manager with type selected as 'WSDL'.
When I'm trying to execute the proxy class to call the webservice using the logical port through SE80 it is throwing an error log as stated below.
1) SOAP:14 Unexpected element -el=definitions ns=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/
2)Error when processing Web service call
3)Error when calling SOAP Runtime functions: Unexpected element -el=definitions ns=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/
Kindly help me out.
Thanks,

Delayed response while calling the process web service

I have four managed servers in a cluster and the ip addresses are
managed_server_1 -20.20.40.21
managed_server_2 -20.20.40.22
managed_server_3 -140.20.40.23
managed_server_4 -140.20.40.24
The admin server is on 20.20.40.21
I start the managed server from command prompt using the commant
./startManagedWeblogic {name of the managed server} {admin console url} ie
i start managed_server_1 from 20.20.40.21 unix box by going to {weblogic installation}\bin
and running the following command (we have some issues with the node manager so have been using this
method)
./startManagedWeblogic managed_server_1 http://20.20.40.21:17003
similarly i start the other servers from their respestive unix boxes
managed_server_2 from the 20.20.40.22 unix box using the command ./startManagedWeblogic managed_server_2 http://20.20.40.21:17003
managed_server_3 from the 140.20.40.23 unix box using the command ./startManagedWeblogic managed_server_3 http://20.20.40.21:17003
managed_server_4 from the 140.20.40.24 unix box using the command ./startManagedWeblogic managed_server_4 http://20.20.40.21:17003
all these servers are in the cluster named BPM_cluster and the bpmengine is deployed onto this cluster
when i deploy the application to the bpmengine it gets properly deployed onto the servers
and i could see the process web services getting generated
but when i try to call these webservices for each managed server seperately
the response from managed_server_1 and managed_server_2 takes leass tha 2 secs
but the response from managed_server_3 and managed_server_4 takes about 25 secs
I am not able to figure out why us taking so long from the managed servers 3 and 4
the bpmengine ds and directory ds have the cluster as targets (I also tried to point to all the servers in the cluster even that
didnot work). I feel that there is db connectivity issue from the servers but i am not sure how to check that.
Can anyone help me with this ?
Thanks

Process Web Service - XML Schema

Hi
I'm new to ALBPM and currently trying to learn about exposing a Process as a WebService. Specifically is it possible to use a XML Schema defined in the Catalog as an argument to the process Web Service? I've tried this and found the generated WSDL didn't include the Schema in the operation. This was using the Process Web Service menu item.
The Fast Trak codes sample passes in XML as a String and parses it back into an XMLObject in Pbl. Is this the best practice way to do it?
// Convert XML String to XML Object
load orderXML
using xmlText = orderRequest
Is there a sample project on dev2dev that shows an alternative approach using a Schema?
thanks
Ben

I'm new to web services, but we are currently
implementing a number of Web Services that all take
as arguments a single parameter which is an XMLBean,
which has been generated by a XML Schema.
What I find surprising is that when I submit a SOAP
message to the Web Service (through the http Web
Service Tester inside eclipse), I can send any valid
XML without getting a SOAP fault. Is there a way on
the Web Service that I want the XML submitted to be
validated against the XML Schema for that parameter?
Bit surprised I have to implement my own input
argument validation, and there doesn't appear to be a
standard way to do this. I must be missing soemthing
surely? Why else would the Schema be in the WSDL?
Cheers
JohnHas anyone found an answer to this, we have the same issue?

Process Web Services and BPM Objects

Hi,
I try to expose a web service for a specific process (not PAPI-WS) for process creation. Works well but only if I use only simple types like String, etc. as input arguments. But when I try to use an BPM object, I get an error like 'Undefined variable 'arg1''.
So, is it not possible to use such a process web service using BPM objects as arguments?
Regards
Matthias

Yes it's true but Netbeans uses one of the existing SOAP implementations to do it. I'm almost sure that it uses one of the most popular implementations JAX-WS RI or Axis by default.

Calling Process Web Service from another BPM project

Hi all,
Scenario: I need to launch an instance of a process in another project, running on another engine.
I figured a Process Web Service was the way to go and I am trying to invoke my Process Web Service method that creates a process. I have tried with and without passing the username token (checkbox in the Process Web Service) to no avail.
Does anyone have some sample code to do this ?
cheers
Tony

Hi Matias,
Yeah, thanks. I am testing on Studio and Enterprise (Standalone). I kinda assumed that if username token is required that the wrappers to consume the PWS would take care of that but I guess not ?
I am having problems with "None" now, on enterprise (see below). I think it is one of those when you get so into the problem you dig a big hole and cant see any way out !
Gonna switch to using Papi to launch the instances I think :-(
cheers
Tony

Calling Oracle BPM Process Web Service from Oracle Service Bus

Hi
I am using Oracle Service Bus 10gR3.
I have developed simple BPM process through Oracle BPM studio 10.3.1.0.I then followed steps below
1. Create a Process.
2. Expose the Process as a Web Service.
3. Run the project. This starts the Process Execution Engine.
4. Create an ALSB External Resource of type Management Host.
5. Create a second ALSB External Resource for registration.
6. Register the End Point
Until this point everything is fine. Then I created one project through Oracle Service Bus console. Under that created WSDL, Proxy Service and Business Service Folders. I am using the web service created through BPM studio as teh Business Service in SB . I then created one proxy service to route the request to the Business Service.
Finally when I try to test the Proxy Service by launching test console, I get the
<con:fault xmlns:con="http://www.bea.com/wli/sb/context">

I also tried to debug through "Oracle Workshop for WebLogic Version 10.3 " . But I am not getting enough details as to why this is failing.
Please help me . Thanks In advance.

JSP-BPM Process-Web Service interaction

Hi all
I am new to Oracle bpm studio. I am having one very important question.
I want to understand the JSP-BPM-Webservice interaction in Oracle BPM studio BPM Process, as we have an enterprise application having servlets, ejbs, etc, for these servlets & ejbswe are creating web services to expose their functionality, through a BPM process. We have created jsps for showing the result fetched from the external web services imported in our BPM process.
So in brief, jsp and external webservices are imported in our BPM project, configured as interactive & global activity respectively.
Please guide us for the JSP-BPM-Webservice interaction.
How to make the webservice working in response of the jsp, getResult Button? So that on pressing the button on jsp the webservice can return the result and the result can be diplayed on another jsp?
How to bind the webservice with bpm object, and pass the values through the bpm flow?
Could you please guide me through this small demo application?
Please please please reply my question, eagerly waiting for your reply.......................................
Thanks & Regards

Hi Sujata
Yes we did the same, as given in some tutorials how to create the "Web service catalogue component", we did it, introspected the webservice.
Now we need to pass the inputs to the add method of the web service, so that it can return the result back to the jsp. So in order to achieve this we created one interactive activity component & object for jsp in the main BPM process and for the same jsp, one interactive activity component in the screenflow, and to interact with the webservice, we created the global activity in the main BPM process. We edited this global activity and dragged the add method definition there.
So now we are facing issues with jsp-web service interaction, they are not interacting, so we want somebody to guide us how to enable this with step by step instructions if somebody has done it already. We have already gone thru a lot of tutorials & forum but we want to resolve this asap.
Thanks & Regards

BPEL process web service security issue

Hi guys,
I could use a web service based on BPEL process from local machine, but when I am calling the same service from one of the client machines i get following type of error
WARNING: Unable to connect to URL: http://server1:7777/orabpel/default/SendTransfer/1.0 due to java.security.PrivilegedActionException: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: Message send failed: server1:

any help is appreciated

In your service url http://server1:7777/orabpel/default/SendTransfer/1.0 , the "server1" should be a proper IP address recognized over your network. Otherwise you can add this name with corresponding IP address in hosts file entry.

Processing web service information before displaying

I facing challenges to display my external web services information properly.
For example, this web service
http://www.webservicex.com/globalweather.asmx/GetCitiesByCountry?CountryName=Singapore
It returns a string value in JDeveloper
<NewDataSet>
<Table>
<Country>Singapore</Country>
<City>Singapore / Paya Lebar</City>
</Table>
<Table>
<Country>Singapore</Country>
<City>Singapore / Changi Airport</City>
</Table>
</NewDataSet>
It displays the whole thing on the screen. There is no way I can change the server side. I can only fix the client side(ADF Mobile) to fit to the server output. I tried creating URL Service Data Control but no success because the schema cannot validate and crashed when deployed. I have to write a part of Java code to process the information. What do I need to do inside task flow? How do I create a flow like this? How do I hide the processing part aside putting inside view?
User input(View) -> Call webservice -> Process webservice output(Java) -> Proper output(View)
My JDeveloper version is 11.1.2.3.39.62.76.1

Process web service output

I'm new to ADF Mobile so I want to ask is it possible to process a web service output before being displayed at view? I want to pass the web service through a method call activity before passing forward to a view.

Hi,
you can configure a PageDef file for a method activity and then invoke the WebService. However, the returned data will not persist until you get to the view. So either you need to query the WS result and save it in a Java bean for access on the view you navigate to or have the WS executed when the view loads.

Process web service

Hello
Edited by: user10467930 on Sep 19, 2009 12:59 PM

Jim,
In a nutshell, the Process exposed as WebService has a very static interface there you can expose the create and Wait activity methods. This will comprise the process interface and it will be typed.
PAPI-WS is again another Web Service SOAP option, but this API is more general purpose and with no process in mind. It will give you lot of primitives to programmatically do more stuff like retrieve instances, grab instances, attach notes, files, etc which you cannot do with the Web Service interface generated for a process.
Hope this clarifies the different and give you the option to select the best one for your use case.

Yes, you're probably hitting the 5000 list item threshold (
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/105937/overcoming-5000-file-document-library-limits ). I assume you can do it via the UI because you're probably logged in as an admin in which case, out of memory, the threshold is 20.000 items. You can extend
this limit, but you probably shouldn't.
