Where should we install Oracle Workflow Server?

Hi,
We are using Oracle Warehouse Builder 10G R1.
We installed Runtime Repository in oracle databae 10.2
We installed Oracle Workflow server 2.6.3.5 in separate oracle datbase 10.2.
What I mean to say is, we installed Runtime Repository in one database instance and Oracle Workflow manager in separate datbase instance.
Here my concern is whether both Runtime Repository and Wokflow server should be installed based on the same datbase? Or can we install on differnt datbases?
will it be fine?
Any suggestions are welcome?
Thank you,
Regards,
Gowtham Sen.

We run our workflow server and owb repository on a different machine than our DW instance. The main benefit being that we can do maintenance independently. Our OWF implementation is pretty benign as resources are concerned.
Our development server contains two instances for UAT and DEV, OWB repositories, and a single OWF implementation using the DEV instance. It runs perfectly fine, and if budget concerns were an issue I would have ran OWF, OWB and DW DB on the same instance in production.
However we do have an issue with the single OWF implementation on our DEV/UAT server. When we deploy the process flows in UAT it invalidates the process flows in DEV. Easy workaround though: Redeploy flows in DEV ( invalidates UAT). I haven't found a permanent solution around that.

  • Cannot install Oracle workflow server 2.6.3 for window

    Hi all,
    I have Oracle server on my PC, and create a database instance (with the Data warehouse option).
    I download the Oracle workflow server 2.6.3 from Oracle download page (inside the term Workflow Server of Database). I do modify the init.ora file with the corresponding parameters: aq_tm_processes = 2 and job_queue_processes = 10 as in the Installation Notes before running the Oracle Universal Installer.
    However, I always receive the error (after the analyzing dependencies step: "This is not a 10g Oracle_Home"). It is so weird because the directory specified is the ORACLE SERVER.
    Please Help Me To Figure Out this problem as soon as possible.
    Thanks so much,
    Tien

  • Where should one install Oracle Database and the Grid Infrastructure in order to adhere to OFA?

    I've downloaded the two zipped install folders for Oracle Database, and the two zipped install folders for the Grid Infrastructure.  The book I'm following for installation says to use one directory for the database, and one directory for the Grid Infrastructure, but it doesn't explain where they should be located in OFA.  Presumably they should both end up somewhere in the same Oracle Base (since everything Oracle related on a single file system should go in the same base, according to my understanding), but it isn't clear where they should be installed in relation to each other.  For example, is the Grid Infrastructure a separate product that gets its own Oracle Home?  Can anyone shed light on this process?
    Also, does it matter to which location the zipped files are unzipped?  For example, are any of these files used after the installation process, or does OFA only care about post-installation location?

    I think this links may be helpful -- ORACLE-BASE - Oracle Database 11g Release 2 RAC On Oracle Linux 5.8 Using VirtualBox, http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/hunter-rac11gr2-iscsi-088677.html.
    OFA -- Optimal Flexible Architecture standard. The standard is a set of configuration guidelines created to ensure well organized Oracle installations that are easier to maintain (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32002/app_ofa.htm#LADBI440).
    It relates to location of the grid and dbms files location. Actually you should specify base directory and follow installer. System will be installed in correct directories.
    It does not matter where you will unzip your distributives. You may delete them after installation to free space.

  • How to install oracle workflow on my desktop?

    i am having oracle 9i in my machine. i want to install oracle workflow. kindly tell me how to install or provide me with the link where installation has been explained.please let me know where i will find that documen?t
    thanks.

    There are two major components to install in Oracle Workflow.
    1. Workflow Client - Otherwise called Oracle Workflow Builder, this is a windows based tool to design and develop your workflow process. This tool is the developer's tool for transforming the business process into a workflow process. The process definition can be stored to filesystem as a file with .wft extension or directly to a database where workflow server is installed.
    2. Workflow Server - Workflow engine that executes the workflow process designed using the workflow builder above. The workflow process designed above is loaded into the workflow server either from the builder directly by connecting to the workflow server schema or using the workflow definitions loader which is a command line utility that reads the .wft file.
    Installation
    1. You may install the Workflow Builder 2.6.2 downloadable from OTN on your PC. This needs an appropriate Oracle Home using which the builder is built by Oracle. I believe 2.6.2 can be installed into a 9i home. It is better that you install the builder into a new Oracle Home and not use any existing homes.
    2. Workflow Server 2.6.2 is shipped with Oracle Database 9iR2. In the additional or optional components (not sure about the exact words) section of your 9iR2 CD you can find Oracle Workflow 2.6.2 that provides the workflow server. You may install this into the existing Oracle Database 9iR2 Oracle home. After installing oracle workflow server you should run the Workflow Configuration Assistant to create the workflow schema in the database and create the required objects in the schema in order for the Workflow Engine to be become operational.
    In summary, installation of Workflow Server has two phases.
    o Install Oracle Workflow to 9iR2 home.
    o Run Workflow Configuration Assistant to configure the workflow server
    Once the Workflow Configuration Assistant is run successfully, you need to set up the PLSQL DAD (Database Access Descriptor) to access workflow home page using the Apache server that comes bundled with Oracle Database 9iR2.
    Please refer to Oracle Workflow 2.6.2 installation document for more information.

  • Oracle Workflow Server in a SUN machine; and the Oracle

    Hi All
    I have installed Oracle Workflow Server in a SUN machine; and the Oracle
    Workflow Client (Builder) in a WIN2000 machine.
    In the SUN machine, I already had installed Oracle9i and OMS (Oracle
    Management Server) version 9.2.0.1.0.
    In the WINDOWS 2000 machine, I already had installed the Oracle9i
    Client and the OWB (Oracle Warehouse Builder) version 9.0.3.35.0. Workflow
    Builder
    was installed together with Oracle Client components.
    I have a OWB (Oracle Warehouse Builder) project, and I deploy and schedule
    JOBS in OEM.
    Now I need Oracle Workflow in order to better ordering, manage and schedule
    that jobs.
    I'm reading the following documentation:
    Oracle Workflow Guide (Release 2.6.2)
    http://www.csis.gvsu.edu/GeneralInfo/Oracle/workflow.920/a95265.pdf But I think Oracle Workflow is very complex to learn quickly.
    My OWB Project has several mappings that load tables in a Data Warehouse.
    When I deploy these mappings one by one, in OEM, I can execute them in OEM
    and they work well.
    But when I use the Workflow Deployment Wizard, I create a new Workflow
    Project (Item type and Process).
    But I can't Launch this process. I go to Launch Process in Workflow page
    (http://:/pls//) but when I iniciate the project,
    it stops in the OWB Standard Begin Function. It does not go ahead.
    Well, when I use the Workflow Deployment Wizard inside OWB, it generates
    jobs that can
    be viewed inside OEM (Oracle Enterprise Manager) too. But when I submit
    these jobs, I can't get success too.
    Can somebody help me? May you guide me in order to solve my problem, or send
    me some
    documents or links about workflow, and it's integration with OWB and OEM?
    Best regards

    I think this might be more of an OWB question, and how OWB uses workflow, I have sent an email internally to try and get someone to responsd. You should also consider contacting Oracle Support if you are having these kinds of problems.

  • Oracle WorkFlow Server (Middle Tier Components)

    To OWB Gurus,
    I'm trying to install Oracle WorkFlow Server to create Process Flows and Schedule for the ETL mappings that I have. When tryin to install WorkFlow Server, it specifies to install Middle-Tier Components. My question is for creating the WorkFlow Process and Scheduling do I need to have the Middle-Tier Components installed? Can I create the flows without the middle tier components ?
    -AW

    You can deploy and run processflows without OWF middle-tier,
    but this component (Workflow monitor) is very helpful for monitoring and control of processflow

  • How can I install Oracle Workflow?

    Hy!
    I use OracleDatabase 10.2 on WindowsXP. I want install Oracle Workflow 2.6.3, but I can't do this. The installation guide say "In the Oracle Universal Installer, choose to install into the Oracle home for your Oracle Database 10g, and select Oracle Workflow Server as the component to install." If I do this, then the error message is: "This is not a 10g oracle_home. Please abort the installation", but it is a 10g home, but I dont find "select Oracle Workflow Server as the component to install" setting in the Universal Installer.
    What can I do?
    Please help me!

    Oracle DB 10.2 has Oracle Workflow standalone 2.6.4 with it. If you are installing 2.6.4 that comes with the 10.2 DB CD it should go through fine. If you are doing exactly what I said but still have the same problem, please give the installar log file.

    You can go to http://www.oracle.com/corporate/contact/ and look for the appropriate contact, and talk to a Sales Representative. A quick answer is that Oracle Workflow is bundled with the Database and iAS Products - so if you have these products, you should have the license for Oracle Workflow.

  • Install Oracle Application Server

    I have an Oracle 8i database running. Now I want to install Oracle Application Server 9i in a new home, as the installation guide says.
    When doing this another 8i database is installed. Is that necessary or can it be avoided???

    It shouldn't be installing another database. Where in the installation steps do you see this happening? The install guide may provide some help. It contains a section that shows you each screen you should see during the installation process:
