Unable to initiate a Human Task after Wait

I am using Oracle BPEL Version 10.1.3.1.0.
Issue:
Human task throws an javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: java:comp/env/ejb/local/TaskServiceBean not found in ActivityManagerBean when it should initiate a Human Task Service.
Steps:
In Oracle BPEL workflow
1. Have a wait state for 30 seconds.
2. Have a Human Task created after that.
Expected result
Create an instance
Human task should be created after 30 seconds.
Actual results.
Exception is thrown
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: java:comp/env/ejb/local/TaskServiceBean not found in ActivityManagerBean
If the wait condition is removed or time is set to 0, the error goes away.
Domain.log shows
<2007-05-04 12:00:13,421> <ERROR> <default.collaxa.cube.services> <::> ORABPEL-30029

<2007-05-04 12:00:13,421> <ERROR> <default.collaxa.cube.services> <::>
Please advise.

Yes, it works.
I can create task and see them in the worklist application.
Even if I put the time in wait to 0, it works.
It should be a very simple bug to reproduce. We have been able to do that on two different machines using these steps.
A wait of 30 seconds.
A human workflow task.
Initiate the process, it gives error. Remove the wait. It works.
Use a pick activity and provide timeout in onAlarm instead of wait approach. The same issue occurs.

Initiate a human task within worklist application

I got some questions regarding human task and worklist app
1. Is it possible to initiate a human task within worklist application? For example: jcooper initiate a request for expense straight from his worklist app
2. I see in jazn configuration. There is a bpm worklist view history role. Where do I access to history of all tasks already ended.
3. If a task is ended is it possible to bring it back alive?
Thank you in advance

Hi,
Check out the Java API that Oracle provides for the Worklist Application. It allows all sorts of customizations / task interactions. A good starting point is the BPEL Developer's Guide.
Enjoy, Sjoerd

Create entity and human task

Hello,
I have a really simple process which includes a create entity activity. It works perfectly fine as data is inserted into the table and i can see everything is completed in the flow trace. Now, when i insert a human task after the create entity activity, things start going wrong. While i don't see any errors in the flow trace and all tasks are completed as planned, the BPEL component's state is showing as running and at the end of the flow i got the message "The transaction was rolled back. The work performed for bpel instance "123456" was rolled back to the previous dehydration point, but the audit trail has been saved...." It seems like it's waiting for something from the human task (even though it was completed successfully). As long as I leave this running, the process would try everyday from 12:00 AM to 4:00 AM every five minutes. That's another issue that i can't figure out. Can someone shed some light on this? Thank you.

Hi,
its best to post this question to the SOA forum. The answer on this forum would be to use a page template, a parametrized bounded task flow and then add the bounded task flow to each page that has the template. However, the task flow in the HT case is generated, which means that you re-build it all the time (meaning you don't work with the same task flow but multiple). If you know how to just use the HT API to access the information to display, you could write a generic bounded task flow for this. Check on the SOA forum if they can come up with a template approach for your use case.

Fault/Error Handling in Human Task

Hi,
We are using Oracle BPM 11.1.1.3.
1. I create "synchronous" BPM process containing Human Task. Is synchronous process containing Human Task correct? When I invoke this process through EM console, it hangs, i.e. I can not interact with EM console any more. I think the reason is, Human Task activity when executed expects human interaction. I am correct?
2. I create "asynchronous" BPM process containing Human Task. I invoke it and it runs properly. I login to workspace and work on task.
My main question is: "Asynchronous" process executes Human Task and waits for Human Interaction. My process is invoked by Java. How will calling Java code know if execution was successful? If any fault/error occurs how can I notify? How will I notify calling Java code if human task encountered any error?
Please let me know if my question is not clear.
Many Thanks.

Hi Anirudh,
Thanks for quick reply.
I have a requirement where based on certain condition i need to update the task and reassign it.
There is a batch that runs and performs the task. While doing so i dont have any info as to whom
the task is assigned.
So i am using bpeladmin to perform the task.
If task is assigned to user and i try to update the task using bpeladmin then am able to do so.
But if the task is assigned to Group i am getting the error. If task is assigned to user, i am able to
acquire the task but not able to update the task.
While updation it shows the task has been acquired by some other user.
Is there any other way by which i can implement the same ?
Regards,
Bhavik

Test waits forever for a callback from a human task

Hi,
I've create a test to test a BPEL process. Now within the BPEL process there is a call to a human task service. I've emulated the task initiation message which is fine. I also tried to emulate the receive message from the human task service but during the test execution, the test waits forever to receive the callback from the human task service, even though i've specified the return message. Would appreciate help with this! I've posted my testbpel.bpel and the test case (CreditCardInvalidTest.xml) below. For both these files I've highlighted in bold the relevant bits of code that's giving me problems. Thanks

Hi hi, on a hunch I previewed the page in the browser, and copy pasted the faces/untitled1 portion of the URL there and pasted on the http://<server_address>:8001/BasicAPPDemo_Root therefore ending with http://<server_address>:8001/BasicAPPDemo_Root/faces/untitled1 and lo and behold I saw the little text box saying "Hello World" ;D
So with that i escalated, switched to the application where the page from BPM was located, deployed it and did the same trick.
But it borked it gave this error:
JBO-29115 Unable to construct the error message due to error java.lang.NullPointerException. Use the exception stack trace and error code to investigate the root cause of this exception. Root cause error code is JBO-.
I figured that the Default generation could be faulty so i created a new page and only recycled the data controls, created everything in read mode, just to test and deployed, when i tested, i was optimistic as the 1st tab didn't had any error (also does not have anything related to the HumanTask, even the data controls) the problem was in the other tabs as I show here.
Many thanks sirs, and sorry for wasting thy time.

BPEL Test waits forever to receive callback from human task service

Hi,
I've created a test (CreditCardInvalidTest.xml) to test a bpel process (testbpel.bpel) which contains a call to a human task service. The problem is when the test executes it waits forever to receive the response message from the human task service but clearly i've emulated it! Would appreciate help.
I've attached both files and highlighted the relevant sections. Thanks.

RaviKiran,
I agree that the explanation oracle provided in the attach link, is a bit confusing. The main goal there is to describe the behavior of processes, when there is a need to combine, or split the transactions within those processes (or in some cases the processes themselves).
The thing is - The default transaction for a synchronous process is requiresNew. That was until version 11.1.1.6. On this last version, you are asking to enter a Transaction parameter when creating a new synchronous bpel process. The default value being prompt is required and that's what causing the problem – You automatically accept the default.
The assumption is, that developing bpel processes, should come with understanding of all those behaviors.
The problem for my understanding is that some of those behaviors were not so cleared until now.

Hi I am having problems downloading and updating apps on my iPad and iPhone. The message cycles between waiting and loading then I get an error message saying unable to download app. Eventually,after many attempts it works.

Hi Guys - for a few days I have been having problems downloading and updating apps on my iPad and iPhone. The message cycles between waiting and downloading then eventually says unable to download app. Sometimes after many attempts it wil eventually work. I tested it on an old iPhone 3G and got the same problem so it is not an iOS 5 issue. My WI-FI connection is working fine. I was wondering if this is an App Store problem? Anyone else in the UK having this problem?

Hi John
iTunes Support wasn't of any use to me.
I have also been having another problem - with BBC iPlayer and other video streaming not working due to insufficient bandwidth, despite my overall download speed being consistently around 50Gb. This is also affecting AppleTV downloads
I am using Virgin Media as my ISP, and was wondering whether you do as well. This might be the common thread.

Warning after creating Human Task Flow in ADF project

I'm using JDev 11g and have created my SOA Composite containing a Human Task. After I generated the Task flow based on Human Task in my non-soa application, I get the following warnings which are preventing my application from building and deploying to the admin server. I have followed the instructions in the Developer's Guide for Implementing an ADF Task Flow for a Human Task.
Warning: <Feb 22, 2010 9:47:59 AM PST> <Error> <J2EE> <BEA-160187> <weblogic.appc failed to compile your application. Recompile with the -verbose option for more details. Please see the error message(s) below.>

Did I miss a step somewhere, I've double checked the class libraries, but am not sure what I should be looking for, I added the recommended libraries to the class path per the Developer's Guide.

Unable to select an outcome in human task

Folks,
I’ve been trying to get a simple human task to work but as of yet I am unable to. I’ve followed the instructions in the BPEL Process Manager Developer’s Guide (10.1.3) and am using the “Auto Generate Simple Task Form” to create the display.
I can deploy the process without incident and am able to claim the task and see parameters passed in. I am not, however, able to see or select the outcome (which I have defined as ‘Approve’ and ‘Reject’).
The .task file is as follows:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>

Is there any update to this thread? I am seeing the same or similar problem. I'm using BPEL 10.1.3.3.
I've created a task with two possible custom outcomes "BE" or "NOT_BE". Anyone in the oc4j-administrators group can claim the task instance. I use the auto task form generator.
As in the thread, I can claim the task instance (as oc4jadmin) and the task form displays (including one parameter that I defined in the payload); however, the only Task Action available in the dropdown list for selection is "Release". My expectation would be to see "BE", "NOT_BE", and "Release" as available actions.
Using bpeladmin yields identical results.
Here is my task definition:

Its due to JDeveloper installation or cache issue...
I uninstalled completely and installed again. I am able to create Human Task now. Maybe it helps someone.

Human Task - How to cause expiration of a task after SUSPEND

Hello,
This is a very simple question, but i don't know how to do this.
I'm using the web services in bpel for manipulate the task.
i invoke the operation suspendTask, it works success, but now i want set the expiration date time for 5 minutes for example.
1) - I tried to call the method updateTask setting the expiration datetime attribute AFTER SUSPEND task, but i get this error:
ORABPEL-10206
Error in retrieving task metadata.
Error in retrieving task metadata because the task is no longer valid.
Only valid tasks can by looked up.
2) If i try to call updateTask operation BEFORE SUSPEND task, i getting this error:
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-20005: Task is modified
ORA-06512: at "CCEEDEV_SOAINFRA.WFTASKPKG_111120", line 2455
ORA-20005:
ORA-06512: at line 1
My question, it is possible expirate tasks that have the status SUSPEND ? If yes, how to do this ?
Thanks
Victor Jabur

Hi Victor,
I am Quite new to Oralce BPM/BPEL 11g, In my project I also need to update the task for expiration datetime but not after suspending the task rather before moving to next human task based on some condition.
It would be great if you could give me the sample code to perform the same if its working with you.

Human task notification after due date/expiration date/...

I would like to set a due date (or expiration date) to Human task, and set some notification before this time. Ok, it seemed very easy:
- i set due date to 5 minutes in human task -> Deadlines
- i set notifications in human task -> notification and in tab Advanced i set remind once 2 minutes before due date
Nothing happens. Exactly same (nothing) happens when i do the same with expiration date.
But what exactly is meaned under word "Reminder"?
It's mail? (then where I have to set email adress? I tried to set a "to" field in human task -> notification -> tab Advanced -> notif. header attributes => nothing happened)
It's worklist inbox message?
Or what ist "reminder" and how it should remind me?

Hi,
I don’t know if you’ve managed to resolve this issue yet and you mention you have emails working from BPEL, but I'm not sure if you've got any notifications working for the Human Task, if not then I have done some work with the human task notifications and although I’ve not tried to do what you’re doing, this is what I have learned.
Firstly to receive any notifications you need to configure the Messaging Driver and Workflow Notification Properties…
In Enterprise Manager expand [farm] -> SOA -> soa-infra
Right click soa-infra and choose SOA Administration -> Workflow Notification Properties
Underneath the page title (Workflow Notification Properties) is a note telling you to configure the Messaging Service Driver. Click the "Go to the Messaging Driver page" link.
In the associated drivers section you will have a single entry for soa_server1 (or what ever it's called for you). In the right hand column there is a button for configuring the driver, click this.
In the driver specific configuration, scroll down to OutgoingMailServer and enter the hostname or IP address of your mail server, then click Apply at the top of the screen.
Now go back to the Workflow Notification Properties screen and choose “Email” from the notification Mode and enter some sensible email addresses in the Notification Service section. It’s useful to have real email addresses in here at the moment because any failures will be returned to this address.
You now need to restart Weblogic for these changes to take affect.
After the restart you can test the notifications by doing the following
Back in Enterprise Manager expand [farm] -> SOA -> soa-infra
Right click soa-infra and choose Service Engines -> Human Workflow
Click on the Notification Management tab.
You can click the "Sent Test Notification" button to make sure everything is working ok. This screen also allows you to monitor notifications for failures.
Now that the notifications have been set up you can configure who gets notified on which events against your human task in JDeveloper.
The email addresses for the users are retrieved from your identify provider for the relevant user, by default this is the internal LDAP directory. I’m not using this, so I’m not sure exactly how this will work. There are options in the worklist application for individual users, but I’m not using this either.
Now that this is set up you can configure the human task within JDeveloper. On the notification tab you can decide who gets notified when. By default when a task is assigned to a user, the assignees are notified, you can play about with these settings to see what works best for you. Have a look at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/integration.1111/e10224/bp_workflow.htm#BABBHDGF for more information.
I’m not sure I’ve solved your problem, but I hope this at least helps.

Initiate Human Task from Mediator

Hello,
In SOA Suite 11g, I'm calling a human task from a mediator. How do I pass the input value for the mediator as a parameter for the human task? In other words, how do I assign the input for the mediator to a parameter defined in the human task?
I've been looking for examples, posts, and documentation on how to do this. I can't seem to find any examples. Am I missing something?
Thanks

I found that initiating a human task from a mediator does not work well. I ended up changing the process to initiate the human workflow from a bpel process. It now works very well.

How to Java methods after submition of human task

I want to implement java callbacks after completion of human task.
My Requirement is : I want to save the process object in my separate table once user has submitted the human task.
Can any 1 give me the example on that.

Hi
See below post for one approach. Anytime a Task is Submitted (means completed by clicking any Action buttons like Submit, Approve, Reject etc etc), the outcome in the method mentioned below is like OUTCOME_UPDATE. First add some print statements here, then later add your custom code.

Unable to update human task

Hello,
I'm unable to update human tasks neither via SOAP nor within
the worklist application.
With the worklist application I'm able to set the outcome though.
I'm able to fill the form on the Task Details Page, I press the
save-button, the browser loads the empty form again. Couldn't find
anything in the server logfiles.
Trying to update the task with the soap-client results
in the following fault-message:
Action UPDATE on task 737132c63xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxc3 is not
valid because of User does not have access/privilege to perform the action.
Trying to update the task outcome with the soap-client results
in the following fault-message (which works in the worklist app with
the same user!):
Action OUTCOME_UPDATE on task 737132c63xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxc3 is not valid because of User does not have access/privilege to perform the action.
Furthermore the user I'm testing with meanwhile has all available
roles, so I don't know if the fault-messages actually have something
to do with the error.
I configured the task parameter as 'Modifiable via worklist'.
What did I miss?
I use the SoaSuite 10.1.3.1.0
Regards, Martin

Hi,
Setting the elementformdefault of the task payload to 'qualified'
solved half of my problems. Updating and setting the outcome
in the worklist application works now. Thanks a lot for your hint
again.
I'm still not able to update the task via Soap Client. I get the
same fault-message:
Action UPDATE on task 737132c63xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxc3 is not
valid because of User does not have access/privilege to perform the action.
Same with setting the outcome.
