When I should abort a instance, when I should not?

Hi there.
I'm designing a process that controls an insurance policy sale and that has a deadline for it's processing. If this deadline is reached, the process must go through a exception flow which will cancel the sale and decline the insurance policy. My question is: whenever this happens, I should end the process instance within ALBPM with an aborted status or by reaching the end activity after processing the exception?
In other words, thinking in a generic way, one could question: is it okay, withing a modeling view, to abort an instance when a business exception occurs?

Dear Right,
I am working on a project where I need to do reporting using Hyperion from ALBPM work list/process instance data. The report needs to be generated on current instance data as well as completed or rejected instance data. Please confirm if my approach is correct or not.
1) Use BAM or Data Mart database for the reporting on current instance.
2)Use Archival Data for the Reporting on historical data for the instance that are completed and rejected.
However, I have following question for that I didn't find any clear idea. I would appreciate if you get me some help here:
+ Our business process might stay longer for some cases, say could be a year or more before it gets approved or rejected. As per Bea documentation of Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) and Business Activity Data Mart (Data Mart), BAM records information about process instance performance and process workload over a recent time period, usually 24 hours where as the Data Mart stores data similar to BAM, but over longer periods of time.
So what do you/Bea suggest/recommend to have out of BAM and Data Mart? Can it Data Mart hold data for such long.
+ For historical reporting:
0) Does this archival happen from engine Db or BAM/Data Mart?
0) As per Bea; process information is copied to the archive database after a process is completed or aborted, based on the archiving schedule configured in the Process Administrator in the Services pane of the Edit Engine section. And also ALBPM business processes do not require data from an instance once this instance has ended, so process instances are discarded upon instance expiration. So does this also flush out the process instance data from BAM/Data Mart as well or BAM/ Data Mart data will flush out as per duration configured in ALBPM. Please confirm.
+ There must have been some reason while designing the three different way to hold process instance data from:
#1. Engine DB,
#2. BAM/Data Mart,
#3. Archival Database.
Can you please throw some light why it has been designed this way?

Blocking multiple SOA Instances when polling from DB Adapter?

Hi,
I am on SOA 11.1.1.3 and have a simple requirement of sequential processing from a database table. I hence created a BPEL process to poll the DB and process the records sequentially by inserting 10 records in a single XML (and doing a while loop on these records). I have also kept a polling interval of 30s with Logical Delete option.
When I have just 10 records in the table, it works fine by creating one instance. However, when there are 20 records in the table, it creates 2 instances of 10 records each and since these two instances are processed in parallel, the sequential processing no more happens and records are processed out of order.
Is it possible to limit the number of instances to just one and prevent the second instance from kicking off. I have read about the singleton process but can I use this on a single node as well?
Any inputs will be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi
From what I know there is nothing out of box that does guarantee ordered execution of instances. That is due to the Queue based work storage and multiple threads pulling data for execution of instances.
I am not sure if that should be supported out of box as well.
Polling process is expected to poll for records every X interval. And create instances that can be processed with in the container.
From what I understand, the requirement needs to stop the polling process if there is a active instance
OR
Create a instance during each polling and check if there is an existing instance, wait till the other instance is complete and then proceed in order if multiple instances have been polled during the waiting window.
One option that I have implemented that works at the source (database) works like this:
1. Change the Db Adapter to logical delete
2. Create a view on the database to only show 1 NEW record, or no records if there is a RESERVED record
3. You might have to write a trigger on the table for updates to complex view created
At least the requirement that I had was to process records in the order they were created.
Status table look up might be tricky as it can not guarantee ordered execution of records as threads might grab the status in random order. But if the requirement is 1 at a time rather than ordered, this would be fine.
But from JVM load perspective, instances might be sitting in the memory doing constantly trying to grab status from table. From performance perspective other options would need to be explored.

Listener status shows 2 instances when only 1 exists

During my troubleshooting the EM problem, I had added the following code to the listener.ora SID_LIST_LISTENER section, and re-started the LISTENER service. I was thinking that my EM problem had to do with the database not registering itself with the listener:
 (SID_DESC =
 (GLOBAL_DBNAME = prod01.sr.net)
 (ORACLE_HOME = C:\Oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1)
 (SID_NAME = prod01)
 )How can I correct this?
I think I should somehow remove the instance with a status of UNKNOWN (see <<<<<<<<<<<<<< ???? above).
Any recommendations please?
Thanks,
Bob

It is nothing to worry about when you see the same instance showing up twice, once with status READY and once with status UNKNOWN.
READY means listener knows this because PMON of that instance told him so (dynamic registration)
UNKNOWN means listener knows this because of SID_LIST entry in the listener.ora (static registration)
Both is useful. Nothing broken here, so no need to fix it :-)
Kind regards

CloudControl 12c: when adding cluster-database single instances are missing

Hello ,
I'e have installed the agent 12c on every single host of our RAC. When adding a database to CloudControl 12c just the RAC-instance gets discovered - but not the single database instances on each host.
Due to this when clicking targets -> databases I just see the cluster-database - but not every single instance of the database.
Compared to another RAC database this is totally different behaviour.
Any help will be appreciated

Hello ,
maybe I should try to explain the issue a little bit clearer...
We have one RAC database called PROD02. When clicking "targets -> databases" I see the following:
PROD02 of type Cluster Database
PROD021 of type Database Instance
PROD022 of type Database Instance
That's the way it shoudl be - that's the way I expected it...
For the newly cofgured RAC database, called PREP02, it looks different when clicking "targets -> databases"
PREP02 of type Cluster Database
The single instances don't show up. Of course I see the single instances when clicking on "PREP02" under the item "Instances".
Now I wonder why these two RAC databases are differently displayed when clicking "targets -> databases". When trying to add the single instances (clicking "Add" under "targets -> databases") and selecting then either "only on the host <hostname>" or "on all hosts in the cluster" no single instances are found or displayed...

How to find port number , when there will be different instance number ?

In case of portal url,
port number is 50000 for default instance number 00.
how to find port number , when there will be different instance number , instead of 00?
Thanks

Hi
You can find the port number by your instance number as follows:
There is a general format for the port number like you have mentioned.
For 00 instance the port number is 50000.
The general format for the port number goes like this:
5<instance_no>00
If your instance number is 01 then the port number would be 50100.
It depends on the installation type which you perform.
You can also change the instance number during the installation but normally you dont do this.
If you have many components or units installed on your system you may have more than one instance in that case it may go like this 00, 01, 02....accordingly port number will be 50000, 50100, 50200...resp.
Hope this solves your doubt.
If you need some more clarification please lemme know.

Hi,
Which operating system are you running on?
Try starting the organizer while holding down the shift key. Hopefully, it should load the Catalog Manager.
Select your current catalog and click on the Repair button. Once it has finished, click on the Open button to see if the catalog opens.
Good luck,

What should I do if the iphoto keeps on saying that "Plz wait for import to complete" when i click the close button but it is not importing photos? How can I close the iPhoto? I try to switch my mac off but it doesn't work. Thanks.

You should be able to select Force Quit from the menu beneath the Apple icon in Finder
and choose to Quit iPhoto from there, without messing up the Mac OS X in the process.
OS X - Support
Not sure if rebuilding the iPhoto library would help this issue. However if you had to
turn off the computer without the correct method (unplug, etc; instead of menu choice)
the system may have accrued damages and should be checked, maybe repaired by
use of the Disk Utility in the system. Or restart the computer in Safe Boot mode, then
run 'repair disk permissions' while it is running in that reduced mode; then restart after.

Should the screen show when the ringer switch is changed?

My ringer is not working on my 4S with 7. Should the screen show when the mute switch is changed from on to off and back? I believe it did before.

But is not now. and my ringer is intermittent.

Should iphone 4 receive messages when turned off and display them when switched back on

should iphone 4 receive messages when turned off and display them when switched back on

It's up to the cellular carrier, but I believe most (if not all) will enqueue the messages when your iPhone is off.
So generally speaking, a few minutes after you turn your iPhone on, your messages should display. Similarly, your voicemails would arrive.
