Workflow builder Hanges on saving to Database

hi friends ....
I am using workflow 2.5......while i was done with everything....................i choose File ->save as -> database .....then i have given username and password with connect string.....
I am connecting to Oracle R12 with Apps account.......
After I pressed OK button...it just hangs out.......for 10 minutes....and then I have to go to task manager and kill its process
but when I connect to database for opening a file.....it is connecting without any errors.....
please help me....how to save ,,in database without this ??

Do not use the builder to save directly to the database, specially if your workflow definition becomes large. Instead, save the file locally and ftp it to the server and use WFLOAD to upload it into the database. It is much faster.
Check the WF Administrator guide on how to use it, but here it is anyway:
The Workflow Definitions Loader program is located on your server in the bin subdirectory of the Oracle Home directory structure
Run the program from your operating system prompt as follows (replacing <username/password@database> with the username, password and Oracle Net connect string or alias to your database):
To apply a seed data upgrade to a database from an input file, type:
wfload <username/password@database> <input_file>
To upload process definitions from an input file to a database, type:
wfload –u <username/password@database> <input_file>
For instance
WFLOAD -u owf_mgr/<password> MYWFDEF.wft.

Workflow message modifications not getting saved into database

Hello Friends,
I am working on iProcurement module (11i) and have a requirement to remove the 'View' & 'Edit' links which appear in notification/Emails in Requisition Approval Workflow.
I found a metalink note "How to Remove Related Application Links From Approval Notifications for AME [ID 1100805.1]" for the same.
We have to delete some attributes from the workflow message to remove the links but the same is not getting saved in database.
I am uploading the wft file through Workflow Definition Loader program with the 'force' option. And to check the changes , i am again downloading the file but i could not see the changes.
Can't attributes be deleted from the message?
Any suggestions ?
Thanks...

Error while connecting to workflow builder after installation...first time!

Hi,
I have installed Oracle Workflow Builder 2.6.3 recently on my system and after installation, when I am trying to connect the workflow builder (using database username/password of that particular instance), it is throwing me the following error:
220: Unable to set NLS_LANGUAGE.
210: Oracle Error: ORA-01403: no data found
. SQL text: SELECT NLS_LANGUAGE FROM WF_LANGUAGES WHERE :l IN (NLS_LANGUAGE, CODE)
In the previous threads when I searched for the same issue, I found that if
select value from v$nls_parameters
where parameter='NLS_CHARACTERSET';
returns the value other then WE8ISO8859P1 then that is what I should change my NLS_LANG entry for the builder - i.e. AMERICAN_AMERICA.<character set>.
But I am not getting where should I change NLS_LANG, it is located where...some file? I am new to Workflow.
Please help me. I tried a lot. Any type of help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Information on Globalization of Workflow Builder GUI

I am trying to determine if the Oracle Workflow builder application can display non-English characters in its menus, labels, dialogs, etc. Is there central site that describes the level of internationalization for this and other Oracle products? I have already looked in the "Products > Database > Oracle Workflow" forum and post a request there. Any point of contact would be helpful. Thank You.

Hi Srinivas,
Firstly when you create the container element for the task set is as an import parameter ( Double click on the container element-> Properties (Tab)-> Import(Field) ). Save the task. In SWDD select the activity. Put in the task and Click on Binding button. You will get a pop up showing all the workflow elements and the task elements. Map the workflow element to the task element here. Save and activate the workflow.
In SWO1 open the method for the business object. Click on parameters button and add an import parameter of the same data type as the task container element. In the program add the following code:
Data: newvariable type datatype
swc_get_element container 'NEWVARIABLE' newvariable.
Open the task definition and click on method binding. Map the task container element to the method input parameter.
After these steps you should be able to use the new variable in your code.

Java Export hangs at 'Export Java Database Content' phase

Hi All -
As part of system refresh activities,we are doing Java Export from our Production system(PE1) & we will use that export to import it in our Qulaity system(QE1).So while doing Java Export,the export gets stucks/hangs at 'Export Java Database Content" phase which is the last phase in Java Export steps.We have been doing this task since many years & we did not encounter this kind of issue ever.There are no errors or at least warnings in the logs like sapinst_dev.log,jload.log,jload.java.log,sapinst.log etc.Our environment details are as below
EP -6.0
OS - AIX 5.3,64 BIT
DB - DB2 UDB
SAPINST version - 642
Java version is below
pe1adm> java -fullversion
java full version "J2RE 1.4.2 IBM AIX 5L for PowerPC (64 bit JVM) build caix64142ifx-20100918 (SR13 FP6)"
Please note with the SAPINST we are using currently, the exports of remaining systems in EP & other solutions like ECC,CR,SRM,XI,BI are successfull.We are having this issue only in PE1.Looks like some bug in code.So request the experts in this forum to please take a look at it & provide me with solution if any of you have faced the similar situation.
Thanks & regards,
Nagendra.

Thank you for your reply Subhash.The below is the last entry in jload.log.It is at EP_ATTR_HEADERS.While doing the Java export,we asked our DBA to monitor to find out any errors at DB side.He monitored and said that no deadlocks or no infinite loops are found.Also he said that he cannot create index for that too because it is trying to do select *.In our first 2 or 3 attempts it used to hang at CA_PRODUCTS meta data exported,CA_PROPERTY meta data exported.Now here.Our DBA said that EP_ATTR_HEADERS has 1.4M rows.We tried to bounce the entire system also,but no luck.We have the same issue.Peculiar thing is we dont see any errors or warnings in the logs.
23.06.11 09:54:21 com.sap.inst.jload.Jload dbExport
INFO: EP_ATTR_DEFS exported (6 rows)
23.06.11 09:54:21 com.sap.inst.jload.Jload dbExport
INFO: EP_ATTR_HEADERS meta data exported
Please let me know if you need any further info in resolving this issue.
Thanks & regards,
Nagendra.

Workflow in 'Revised and Saved' status

Hi Friends,
I am trying to activate a workflow in Dev system. After I click on activate button the workflow gets into 'revised and saved' status. Business object is in active stage. This is happening since last couple of days, earlier to that I was able to activate after making the changes.
Can anybody suggest what could be the reason?
Thanks in anticipation.
Srinivas

Hi,
This usually means that an error has occurred, but sometimes the error panel at the bottom of the Workflow Builder screen is obscured.
Please have a closer look.

Workflow builder (client) Oracle10g Installation

Hi,
I just installed an 10g database server (Release 10.1.0.2.0) along with the Oracle 10g Workflow Server (2.6.3). The installation completed succesfully, but i am wondering where i can find the client tool (workflow builder).
I already downloaded the Oracle 10g Content Management SDK
(Release 2.6.3) and there is an 'workflow main' install option, but it indicates that it installs the server components too. This is not handy, since they already installed. Also an alert box pops up telling me that the
oracle_home is not a 10gAS. I do not have a 10g App Server installed, only a 10g DB and Workflow Server 2.6.3!
So, plz can someone point me out how to instll only the client side (builder)?
Best Regards
Bram

Hello,
Oracle Workflow Release 2.6.3 is shipped on a separate CD with the Oracle Database 10g CD pack for Windows. It is also available for
download from OTN. Please navigate to: http://otn.oracle.com/software/index.html
The Workflow builder can be found in the Oracle Database 10g Client CD.
The Oracle Workflow server component shipped with Oracle Database 10g can be installed only into an Oracle Database 10g Oracle home.
The middle tier component of Oracle Workflow requires Oracle HTTP Server installed in a separate middle tier Oracle home. We recommend using the versions of Oracle HTTP Server and mod_plsql that are included in the software CD pack from which you are installing Oracle Workflow.
Note: Please read the installation notes included on the Oracle Workflow CD as well as Oracle MetaLink note 265554.1, Oracle Workflow 2.6.3 Installation Update, before you install the software.
Cheers,
Raja

Oracle Workflow Builder Concurrency

Hi All
We have Workflow installed in an Oracle9.2 database and have a few users using Workflow Builder to build workflows.
Unless I am missing something, it appears that the facilities for preventing workflow designers from clashing with one another and overwriting each others changes are fairly basic. There are no refresh buttons and it appears that provided you have a high enough access level you can easily overwrite someones recent changes.
The usual optimistic locking of checking changes prior to commit does not seem to be there.
Is this an oversight on Oracle's part (ie fairly new product and functionality may be forthcoming in future releases) or are we using the product incorrectly (ie you should not have multiple people designing the workflows)?
Apologies if this is a stupid question, but this is a new product to me that I need to support.
Thanks
KJP

Hi Kevin
If you were developing using wft files (not connected to the database except to upload), and had a source control system, then people would be checking the files in and out, then you shouldnt run into this issue. This would be the best way of building workflows in a multi developer environment. Connecting the database and uploading/downloading workflows is more of a developer convenience feature, not something for large scale development where you all might be modifying the same workflow.
Just as some background, Oracle Workflow is a core technology of the Oracle E-Business Suite, there are hundreds of workflows and many hundreds (at least) of developers using common development environments. So the product is deployed in very active development environments. Also, Oracle Workflow has been around ~8 years.
Cheers
