Synchronizing OID with Oracle Workflow

Hi,
I am trying to synchronize Workflow directory services with OID.
But when executing the wf_ldap.synch_all (it is a workflow procedure), an exception is raised with the following message:
Error code: -31202
Error Message: ORA-31202:DBMS_LDAP: LDAP client/server error: *********Rubbish*********
Unable to set the OID orclsizelimit parameter
Exception encountered.. exiting
- I am following the steps in the Oracle Workflow Guide.
- the platform is Win2000, and workflow version is 2.6.2
Any Idea?
Regards,
Belal

Java API to work with Oracle Workflow

Hi,
I'm new to Oracle Workflow. Currently, I'm starting to work on a java front-end to work with some features of Oracle Workflow.
The only thing I know, is that I should be using workflow 2.6.3, and someone gave me a jar which is supposed to be the java API to the workflow, and a link to some online info:
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/workflow.102/b15855/toc.htm
The api I received, was a jar file named "wfapi.jar". It was sent to me by email, don't know where they got it from.
And that's it ... it's the only info I received.
Searching the web, I found this interesting article:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/workflow/release262/wfjavawp.pdf
That teaches me how to work with the java API, but the document itself is intended for release 2.6.2 (november 2001). So I started doing the first coding, and found that I have no way of implementing the instruction: "import oracle.apps.fnd.common.*;"
Seems I don't have the "common" part of the package ... that just pops up two reasons:
1. I don't have the complete java API;
2. This code is for version 2.6.2, and in version 2.6.3 of the API the "common" was removed (which I think it would be quite odd).
So I endup with no way of testing, and don't know the product well enough to start working and learning with it.
Anyone can give me some lights?
Where can I find a complete and definite complete java API?
What about some guide with some examples on how to start working with the API?
Where can I search the demo java programs?
If I download the Oracle Workflow 2.6.3 from oracle.com, will I be able to get that API? Will I need to install it to get the API? Do I need the Oracle DB to be installed first?
I would appreciate some help on how I can startup using this, or what should I look for, and most importantly, where?
Thank you very much.
----- code example -----
To test using what I got, I've ran the following code:
          String sUser = "myuser";
          String sPass = "mypass";
          String sJdbc = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@";
          String sStrg = "myserver:1520:mysid";
          String sCharSet = null;
          WFDB myDB;
          WFContext ctx;
          myDB = new WFDB(sUser, sPass, sJdbc, sStrg);
          sCharSet = System.getProperty("CHARSET");
          if(sCharSet==null) { //cannot be null
               sCharSet = "UTF8";
This just gives me the following message:
[22-11-2005 14:58:54:328 GMT] 7b4542dd WebGroup E SRVE0026E: [Servlet Error]-[oracle/apps/fnd/common/VersionInfo]: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: oracle/apps/fnd/common/VersionInfo
     at      at oracle.apps.fnd.wf.WFDB.<clinit>(WFDB.java:27).null(Unknown Source)
So it seems the "common" is needed after all ...

Can Oracle Tutor integrate with Oracle Workflow

Is there a way to integrate Tutor with WorkFlow?

I believe Oracle Tutor works fine with Oracle Applications and Oracle Collaboration Suite. If you are using Oracle Workflow standalone from OCS, then Oracle Tutor would integrate with it.
Hope this helps

Hi, I have tried in two separate environments to create a new workflow farm and am getting the same error. I have already installed the Feb CU for both workflow manager and the service bus. I rebooted all servers after installing.
I noticed a message in the UI saying "Configuration operation failed. Please drop databases and use ‘Create a New Farm’ again." When I look in SQL Management Studio no databases have been created. The new farm wizard fails on the first step.
Any ideas on a fix for this? Changing the format of the account as above didn't work for me. I am using a SQL alias on my server, would this cause any problems? When I test the connection to the DB from the wizard all tests pass.

Message flow in SAP PI 7.31 JAVA only for ABAP Proxy synchronous scenario with Oracle DB

Dear Experts,
I am working on a synchronous scenario Sender ABAP Proxy <===> SAP PI 7.31 JAVA only <===> Oracle Database.I have successfully
configured all the proxy configurations as well both Sender SOAP and JDBC receiver channels are showing no error when pinged from
Cc monitoring in NWA.
1.During testing at Tx SPROXY , I am triggering a message and after 5 minutes I receive an PARSING error message with 2 messages in ECC
local IE i.e. Tx SXMB_MONI.
Note : In NWA , I can see only 1 message that too in cancelled status.
2.Seeing the trace of the messages I assume that the messages have not moved from sender ECC system. I am still confused with flow of message
from the Message Audit log. Audit log of error messages.Could any one share the full Audit log of a successful message generated in SAP PI 7.31 JAVA only.
3.I observed that the QIN Scheduler status in ECC is in INACTIVE status. There is no queue id for 2 messages generated in ECC. Does
it should in ACTIVE status in Tx SMQR..
Regards
Rebecca

Hi Thomas,
Valuable inputs..
1. Since I don't have any audit log for successful message, would you be able to share referring to the
below screenshot whether the message was put into receiver JDBC adapter and JDBC adapter tried to retrieve the Select response from Oracle Database.
2.I have done some setting in Advance mode of the receiver JDBC to increase the time out and other parameters as per SAP note but still the issue is same. If you perhaps have some experience in such scenarios, please share some input so that I can ask the Oracle Database administrator exactly what is required from our side.
3.Regarding the slow response from Oracle , there was some suggestion that the datatype of the request and response should match the column name of the Oracle database. I did that.. Do you have any more suggestion that may be hampering the generation of the response message from the Oracle like SAP note or document.
Regards
Rebecca

SOA Suite 11.1.1.3.0 with Oracle OID

Hi All,
I have installed SOA Suite 11.1.1.3.0. I am able to use Oracle OID and able to login into weblogic console.
http://hostname.domainname.com:admin_port/console
But I am unable to login into worklistapp using OID user.
http://hostname.domainname.com:bpel_port/integration/worklistapp/faces/login.jspx
Do we need to do any provide any specific permission to OID user in the worklist app.
Regards,
David G

Sorry but I could not find anything like this in certification matrix. Although, few lines are mentioned about Oracle Database -
The Oracle databases listed in this column are supported on all configurations (including RAC) and platforms that the database team supports. Check Certify for details.
These Oracle databases (including RAC) can be used for WebLogic Server features and application connectivity.
These Oracle databases (including RAC) support the following JDBC drivers: Oracle Thin Driver 11g; Oracle Thin/XA Driver 11g.
If you are using Oracle Database 11g (11.2.0.1+) and you choose to configure Oracle Internet Directory (OID) with Oracle Database Vault, refer to the "Certified Databases" section of the Oracle Fusion Middleware System Requirements, Prerequisites, and Specifications 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) document ( http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/fusion_requirements.htm ) for additional information.
In certification matrix, I can see that SOA suite 11g on Red Hat EL 5 (UL3+) is certified on Oracle 11.2.0.1+

Using workflow with Oracle InterConnect

Has anybody had any experience using Oracle WorkFlow with Oracle InterConnect? I have created events deployed by iStudio to Oracle Workflow but when I try to send the message, the activity/function that I create (both PL/SQL or External Java) using Oracle Workflow Builder never get executed. Am I missing something? Are there any procedure I need to run with iStudio and Oracle Workflow?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Edward

Hi Edward,
When you say that the function never gets executed, do you mean that nothing in the workflow is running, or just this step?
Is the system status set correctly? Have the event definitions been deployed from iStudio to BES? Have you completed the post installation steps for InterConnect for workflow development?
Is it just the workflow component that you are having problems with? Since the workflow adapter is essentially a customized AQ adapter, this should run fine out of the box.
HTH,
Matt

Oracle workflow server with linux

In "10g Release 1 (10.1.0.4) Patch Set 2 for Linux x86 Patch Set Notes", it is mentioned that modplsql is not currently supported on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. For this reason, HTML DB and Oracle Workflow are not currently supported on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.
Does this mean that workflow monitor cannot be used? Or workflow server itself cannot be used in Linux?
Is there any workaround for this problem? If I want to abort a process flow execution, is there a way to do it without using workflow monitor? In one of the other postings I saw a reference to abort method of workflow engine but this package does not seem to exist in the workflow server recent versions.
Thanks,

Hi,
The modpl/sql requirement will stop you being able to use the Workflow monitor, but the core functionality of the module will remain unaffected.
To abort a process, the WF_ENGINE package should have a procedure called AbortProcess - I haven't got a Linux installation to check on at the moment, but I;d be surprised if they have removed it, since this is used in a number of processes.
HTH,
Matt

How to commit a transaction in Oracle Workflow

Hi All,
Oracle says there should not be any commit in Oracle WF .It is the responsbility of the calling program to Call Commit.
I have the following Requirement:-
I want to insert a record in one of the custom table, when a record is saved in one of the Oracle Apps Form( for e.g. insert a record in the custome table when user creates PO.)
What I have done is :-
1) Added a subscription to one of the seeded events that is raised when user saves a record in the Oracle apps.
2) Designed a Custom Function, that is called when the above subscription is triggered off.
3)The above custom function inserts a record in the custom table.
Q ) where to write a Commit ( as this custom function is called from the WF and WF says, dont put commit in the WF,it should be called by the callling program)
Can also you explain me , when user presses the Save button on the Oracle standard form--> that calls the Oracle API to create a record in the DB and commit , ---> then the event is raised and trigger offs all the subscriptions where does it commit then?
Thanks

Hi,
The commit should be done by the form, or whatever raises the business event.
The API fires the event in the same transaction (unless the subscription is deferred), and then the commit is issued. This commits the transaction, and all actions of the event subscription.
If the subscription is deferred, then the concurrent request which processes the subscription will issue the commit on completion.
HTH,
Matt

Oracle Workflow Manager, Agent Listener, and Java Mailer problem

Hi,
I am not sure this topic to this forum, since this might be installation issue.
But I am hitting a big wall.
I had Windows 2000 SP4.
I have already installed Oracle Database 10gR1, Oracle Developer 10gR2, and Oracle Workflow 2.6.3 Standalone previously.
Including :
- Oracle Workflow Server 2.6.3
- Oracle Workflow Builder 2.6.3.5
- Apache HTTP Server 9.0.4
- Workflow Middle Tier
Anything seems to right, including the Notification Mailer and the Business Event.
And I had also made backup of them surely.
Now,
I'd like to change into Oracle Database 10gR2 because :
1. Some errors I found when I tried to call a Report from Oracle Form.
Unable to connect to Report Server ...
I thought Oracle Database 10gR1 is not suitable for Oracle Developer 10gR2.
2. And in the OWF 2.6.3 Workflow Home Page, there was no Logout button (which I found in OWF 2.6.4)
I removed my previous installation including Oracle Workflow.
After strugglineg in the installation of Oracle Database 10gR2, now I am facing another problem with Oracle Workflow.
I succesfully installed Oracle Workflow 2.6.4 Server and Oracle Workflow Manager (standalone version),
and the Oracle Workflow Middle Tier.
After I launch Oracle Workflow Configuration Assisstant, everthing seems to be normal.
I succed to open the Oracle Workflow Home Page (and found the Logout button there)
Next, I tried to navigate to the Oracle Workflow Manager.
1. I start the OC4J_Workflow_Management_Container --> initialized
2. OC4J_Workflow_Component_Container
The following error line appeared in the OC4J command prompt
06/05/26 10:31:40 LOG_ID_UNKNOWN : oracle.apps.fnd.cp.gsc.Logger.Logger(String,
int) : Logging to System.out until necessary parameters are retrieved for Logger
to be properly started.
06/05/26 10:31:40 LOG_ID_UNKNOWN : oracle.apps.fnd.cp.gsc.SvcComponentContainer.
initializeStateMachine() : BEGIN [default implementation]
06/05/26 10:31:40 LOG_ID_UNKNOWN : oracle.apps.fnd.cp.gsc.SvcComponentContainer.
getNewWorkflowContext() : BEGIN
06/05/26 10:31:45 LOG_ID_UNKNOWN : oracle.apps.fnd.cp.gsc.SvcComponentContainer.
loadGlobalParameters() : BEGIN
06/05/26 10:31:48 oracle.apps.fnd.wf.common.ContextFactoryException: Unable to g
et connection from data source because the following Exception occurred -> java.
sql.SQLException: ORA-28000: the account is locked
06/05/26 10:33:57 Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE 10g (9.0.4.1.0)
initialized
3. finally it initialized
Next I tried to go to Oracle Workflow Manager from related link of Enterprise Manager
It is said that the OWF_MGR is locked
(I surprised since I had UNLOCKED the OWF_MGR after the installation and succeed to login at the Workflow Home Page)
And the following error line appeared in the commaned prompt after that
06/05/26 10:35:03 OrionCMTConnection not closed, check your code!
06/05/26 10:35:03 Logical connection not closed, check your code!
06/05/26 10:35:03 (Use -Djdbc.connection.debug=true to find out where the leaked
connection was created)
4. I re-UNLOCK the OWF_MGR and login to Oracle Workflow Manager
I noticed that the Agent Listener and Notification Service is Unavailable
(In OWF 2.6.3, The Agent Listener was started and Notification Service was waiting to be configured)
I tried to start one of the Agent Listener, but the following error appeared
ERROR: The Service Component Container is not running
Well, I had the same problem when installing the OWF 2.6.3
I tried to uninstall (remove) and re-install it like I had done before in OWF 2.6.3
(based on someone's post in Oracle's forum)
But this time, the re-installation won't fix this problem. (It was succeed in the OWF 2.6.3)
Everytime I start the OC4J, using wfmgrstart.bat and wfsvcstart.bat
the OWF_MGR is re-LOCKED(TIME) automatically.
And the servlet (WFALSNRSVC and WFMLRSVC) are not running.
I am worry, since I cannot use the Notification Mailer if this problem had not fixed yet.
(In OWF 2.6.3, the mailer was not available until those servlet is Started)
Sorry for the long post.
Any help would be grateful.
Many thanks,
Buntoro

Hi,
Finally, I have found the solution.
Step :
1. Start all of the Oracle Service, except for the OC4J
If you have already started OC4J, then stop them
Unlocked the <wf_manager_user>
2. Search in your Oracle Home : data-sources.xml
There should be two files,
one is in the ...\OC4J_Workflow_Component_Container\application-deployments\WFALSNRSVCApp
the other is in ...\OC4J_Workflow_Component_Container\application-deployments\WFMLRSVCApp
3. Make sure, you create back up of them.
4. Replace the following line
password="->pwForOwfMgr"
with
password="<your_wf_manager_password>",
should be look like this
password="a"
5. Now start the OC4J using wfmgrstart.bat and wfsvcstart.bat
6. Next, login to the Oracle Workflow Manager
This worked for me.
Hope this will help someone who has the same problem.

Plan to Migration from Collab 9.0.4 to 10.1.2 and include Oracle Workflow

We are running Linux AS RedHat 3, and collaboration suite 9.0.4:
We have 3 servers - one for storage, one for midtier and one for infrastructure.
The midtier has Oracle Mail and Calendar running. In addition, it has Oracle Files configured but not being used.
We plan to upgrade to 10.1.2. But we plan to implement Oracle Files (Content services) with Oracle Workflow.
What is the upgrade path? Should I install and configure Oracle Workflow in version 9.0.4 first and then upgrade to 10.1.2 ? or can I install and configure Oracle Workflow in 10.1.2 afterwards?

You could do both, as workflow can be installed separately but I would advise to look into BPEL in order to substitue workflow. Have a look at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/cs/developer/contentservicesdev/contenservicesdevkit.html
