Workflow hooks to improve routing process to multiple people

Friends,
I am a beginner to Workflow. This is a general question. What are the workflow hooks to improve routing process to multiple people.
Points will be rewarded for helpful answers.
Thanks.

I think this the best book available

Improving ODM Process Performance

Hi Everyone,
I'm running several workflow on sqldeveloper data miner tools to create my model. My Data is around 3 million rows, to monitor the process I look to oracle enterprise manager.
From what I've seen in oracle enterprise manage most of process ODM from my modelling didn't get parallel and sometimes my process not finished more than a day.
Any tips/suggestion how we can improve ODM Process Performance ? By enable parallelism on each process/query maybe ?
Thanks

Ensure that any input table used in modeling or scoring has a PARALLEL attribute set properly. Since minig algorithms are usually CPU bound try to utilize whatevet CPU power you have. Following might be a good starting point:
ALTER TABLE myminingtable PARALLEL <Number of Physical Cores on your Hardware>;

Parallel processing on multiple IdM instances -- real enterprise class

Hi all. We run what we earnestly hoped would be a true enterprise class IdM v6 SP1 installation: 2x v440 Sol9 app servers each with 2 IdM instances (AS virtual servers), each host dual CPU and 4GB RAM available; connected to a 4 node dual CPU Oracle RAC cluster.
But our performance, to use a technical term, sucks bollocks, and has done for >12 months. The main area where this hurts is when we run a DBTable ActiveSync process to update the user base and any associated resources.
We suspect a few things, but ultimately the most frustrating and intractable problem is this: IdM processes all the Update User tasks stemming from the ActiveSync poll one by one, sequentially, in series, and all on the originating IdM instance. So if we have, say, 5000 updates to process, we watch 5000 sequential User Update tasks, one after the other. Even if each task takes only a couple seconds, we often notice inexplicable gaps of many seconds between one sequential task completing (start time + execution time) and the next beginning. The end result is a throughput rate of usually less than 300/hr -- more than 10hrs to process those 5000 updates!
Despite setting the [custom] Update User wf to execMode='async', IdM seems to refuse to run these tasks in parallel. In an installation of this size and resource capacity, this is excruciating. Plus there's the fact that as I write, and as it crawls along, the IdM instance running the tasks is showing up in prstat like this:
PID USERNAME SIZE RSS STATE PRI NICE TIME CPU PROCESS/NLWP
28946 sentinel 2583M 2379M cpu3 28 0 87:27:53 25% appservd/177
That's quite a lot of resource-use for not a lot of outcome...
So, does anyone know: how can we get these tasks to run multiple in parallel rather than sequentially; how can we get the task load to be spread across all 4 available IdM instances rather than just the one that executed the ActiveSync poll?
In long suffering desperation, any help greatly appreciated!
PS - 2 things regarding parallel:
1. on the TaskDefinition for the Update User wf, there is also an attribute named 'syncControlAllowed' -- anyone know what this means/does? Would setting it to 'false' perhaps give us true async/parallel mode?
2. I suspect forcing the task into background could potentially give parallel behaviour, but the problem is that Update User is of course called by any user update task, and when done interactively the administrator may not wish to have the task run in the background.

Hi,
i'm afraid i don't know an easy answer to your question. But there are several things that should be considered:
1) 12s average update time seems a lot. I'm sure that can be optimized. Have you thought about a dedicated sync form (assigned to the proxy admin used for active sync)? If you have that you might also consider setting viewOptions.Process there to use a simplified workflow optimized for your sync process. Take a look at the dynamic tabbed user form example as well - some of the resources you have may not be subject to synchronization and those should be ruled out by setting the sync forms "TargetResources" property to an aproptiet value.
2) i recently found an interessting way of parallelizing tasks. This is potentially dangerous as you have to build something in that prevents this from being a "fork bomb". Still some example code for a simple scenario where you just want to sync global.email, populated by your AS form. If the workflow consisted out of "start", "nonblocking task launch" and "end" the "nonblocking task launch" had an action like
<Action id='0'>
    <expression>
      <block>
        <defvar name='session'>
          <invoke name='getLighthouseContext'>
            <ref>WF_CONTEXT</ref>
          </invoke>
        </defvar>
        <defvar name='tt'>
          <new class='com.waveset.object.TaskTemplate'>
            <invoke name='getObject'>
              <ref>session</ref>
              <s>TaskDefinition</s>
              <s>Nonblocking Workflow</s>
              <map/>
            </invoke>
          </new>
        </defvar>
        <invoke name='setSubject'>
          <ref>tt</ref>
          <invoke name='getSubject'>
            <ref>session</ref>
          </invoke>
        </invoke>
        <invoke name='setVariable'>
          <ref>tt</ref>
          <s>accountId</s>
          <ref>user.waveset.accountId</ref>
        </invoke>
        <invoke name='setVariable'>
          <ref>tt</ref>
          <s>email</s>
          <ref>user.global.email</ref>
        </invoke>
        <invoke name='runTask'>
          <ref>session</ref>
          <ref>tt</ref>
        </invoke>
      </block>
    </expression>
</Action>The workflow "Nonblocking Workflow" then would have accountId and email available in its variables and if it is defined as "async" it will really be launched that way - build in something that prevents your system from exploding...
3) probably safer than trying what i implied in 2) (i only used this for a totally different task that can not explode) you could consider to have several instance of the database table resource adapter. Lets say your primary key in the db is "employeeId". If you define for seperate resources, each handling employeeIds modulo [1,2,3,4] only you could distribute the load among your cluster. I did a similar thing with flatfileactivesync before.
4) back to the average 12s again. If you don't have some slow resources this could mean that the parallel resource limit kicks in. Take a look at waveset.properties about limits like this.
Synchronization is not the ootb strength of IDM - but with some optimization you should be able to get to reasonable results.

Patrick

MDG-F 7.0 Processing of Multiple Objects

Hello all,
Under the "Processing of Multiple Objects", there are a few of function listed below I don't quite understand. What each of the funciton really do?
Create Hierarchy Change Request for Cost Center Group
Process Hierarchy for Cost Center Group
(I believe these are a pair of function i need to do both)
Other pair is called
Create mass chagne request for cost center group hierarchy
Process Cost Center Group Hierarchy
Thanks,
LUO

Hi Luo,
Under Processing of multiple object--> Create hierarchy change request for cost center group include all the 3 entity types, i.e. CCTR, CCTRG,CCTRH. This is a standard change request type "CCGHP1". Here you can specify the object for all the entity types and also perform the collective processing. Here you will only need one change request to do all the activities. Can create the entries and hierarchy structure within this
For the CR type "CCGHP1" assign the workflow steps(submission/activation/revision).
3 different change request: the other way of it was creating first cost center, then in another change request cost center group and hierarchy in another one. Any way you will need 1 more change request of type CCGHP1(Create hierarchy change request for cost center group) if you want to process the entity together to create hierarchy.

Processing the multiple sender xml one by one in a time gap to RFC

Dear Experts,
I have to process the multiple sender xml file one by one from FTP to RFC in time gap.
For Ex:
I will place 10 xml file in a FTP path at a time, PI is picking 10 file at a time and process it to RFC at a time.
Any other way to process the multiple file one by one through PI in a time gap to RFC
(i,e) PI needs to process the 10 files one by one, once the first file processed successfully from FTP to RFC then the next file to process in a time gap to avoid getting the error in RFC.
Kindly suggest your ideas or share some links how to process this multiple files.
Best Regards,
Monikandan.

Hi Monikandan,
You can use CE BPM with PI 7.1 But first check the suggestion of Anupam in the below thread:
reading file sequentially from FTP using SAP PI file adapter

Dump during processing on multiple work process.

Hi ,
I have designed a prohgram "report1" which creates variants for another program "report2" and schedules those variants in back ground on multiple work processess.
When run the "report1", it creates 19 variants for "report2" and those variants will be scheduled for background process on multiple workprocess.
My problem is, when i execute "report1", out of 19 jobs 7 jobs have been cancelled due to dump.
The dump analysis is as follows*
Runtime errors         TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOC_FAILED
Short dump has not been completely stored. It is too big.
h1 No storage space available for extending the internal table.
What happened?*
You attempted to extend an internal table, but the required space was
not available.
Error analysis*
The internal table (with the internal identifier "IT_77") could not be
enlarged any further. To enable error handling, the internal table had
to be deleted before this error log was formatted. Consequently, if you
navigate back from this error log to the ABAP Debugger, the table will
be displayed there with 0 lines.
When the program was terminated, the internal table concerned returned
the following information:
Line width: 1240
Number of lines: 340000
Allocated lines: 340000
New no. of requested lines: 10000 (in 1250 blocks).

If i run the jobs for which i got dump individualyy one after other, then the jobs executed successfully.
Pls help me in this regrad.
Can i use filed-symbols in thsi case to avoid dump?
Thanks in advance .

HI
It seems memory available to a particular process in your case was not enough to continue.
Could you try to implement the same by convertin Report2 as an FM and calling it as:
CALL FUNCTION func STARTING NEW TASK task
So now instead of making different variants you could just loop over the FM with different values.
If this does not seem feasible restrict your data anyhow.
Revet with findings!

How to check which action is completed in a Process having Multiple Actions

Hi,
     In a GP that we designed, a Process contains multiple actions, so what we want to achieve is after 1st Action is completed i.e once 1st Approver approves the request, next action is executed wherein a Notification Workitem in his/her UWL is sent to initiator to notify the approvers action whether it rejected or approved.
     My question is when a Initiator starts a process, then he/she is not able to start the same process again, unless & until the process is finished, but now the requirement is, if 1st Level Approver i.e 1st Action, is completed, we need to allow the Initiator to start a new process of same name in-spite of 2nd Action & previously started process is not completed.
     Please let me know if I can find whether in a Process a particular Action is completed or not.
  Thanks.

Problem initiating process with multiple operations using HTTP/SOAP

Hi,
I have defined a process which has multiple operations. My process starts with a pick activity containing onMessage branches for each possible operation. When I initiate this service using the BPEL console, I choose one of the operations and everything works fine.
However, when I initiate this process using an HTTP/SOAP web service call using JMeter, always the first branch is executed regardless of the message I send.
My operations are document/literal. Due to some restrictions, I cannot define a SOAPAction for the operations. Could this be the problem? Is there a workaround for this? If this is not the problem, what could be the cause?
I'm using version 10.1.2.1.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance..

hi i am using 10.1.3 and still i can not initiate a process with multiple operations. Is there anybody to tell if pick activity works fine and if there are some points to consider?
If there is a problem is there any solution to make a process with multiple operations?

The IP Routing Process for VLAN's?

I have the CCNA Study Guide third edition. Chapter five, page 254 has a description of the ip routing process. It descripes the ip routing process using two nodes on different subnets and a router.
We've recently deployed VLAN's, so I'm asking if I replace the router with a switch in the description, if the principles would still apply? I'm also asking if someone knows of a link that describes the ip routing process when using a VLAN? I'm looking for documentation that's similar to what's in the book, but modernized.
tia

I do not have the book but i will try to help:
Switches dont do inter-vlan routing (Unless you are using a layer 3 switch) so if you are have different Vlans configured on your switch and want them to comunicate each other without a router you cant.
If you have a router the same principles apply to normal routing, remember that VLANS are just a way of dividing your clients, so your VLANS configured on your subinterfaces will appear directly connected on your ip route table. For example:
VLAN 10: 192.168.10.0
VLAN 20: 192.168.20.0
VLAN 30: 192.168.30.0
You have vlan 10 and 20 locally on a lan interface (They will be directly connected on your ip route) but vlan 30 is reachable thru a serial interface (ppp or frame relay) you would use:
ip route 192.168.30.0 255.255.255.0 serialx/x

2 - way routing process in an ESB

Hi !
I want a 2-way routing process in an ESB .
My requirement is there is two table say Emp and Company .
I will select some data from Emp and after some transformation I will insert those to data into Company table .
When I am using poll then it is working fine but when I am trying to use select and insert query then router only accept select wsdl not the insert wsdl .
Help me regarding this

Hi,
I am afraid that there is no way to have two routing nodes in one flow. But you can use service call to get same job done.

Improve cube process time

Hi,
I am processing cube with process full. its taking around 15 mins. I planned to improve this by adding indexes to the database. I used SQL Trace while processing & later used the result to the database tuning advisor to get recommendations. I got the
recommendations & i have included those changes to the Database & then processed the cube but there is no improvement. I even tried to get the expensive queries from the trace & run in SSMS with Query execution plan but I am not able to figure
out. Please help.
Thanks
sush

Hi susheel1347,
According to your description, you want to improve the cube processing. Right?
In Analysis Services, cube processing is performed in Analysis Services by executing Analysis Services-generated SQL statements against the underlying relational database. Here we have some advices on improving the cube processing:
Use integer keys if at all possible
Use query binding to optimize processing
Partition measure groups if you have a lot of data
Use ProcessData and ProcessIndex instead of ProcessFull
For more information, please refer to links below:

6513 ACL List ION Routing Process

Hello everyone I have a question about ION Routing Process that seems to show up on the 6513 cisco switch.
Ok question, when I do a show access-list Test-ACL
It will show me Test-ACL list then right after that with ION Routing Process the next line starts with all of the ACL lists that are on the device.
We have two 6513 and they both do this but when i check out two 6509 they dont do this.
Also check on 3750e too dont do this
Can anyone explain this to me ?

Craig
What you are asking for can be done but it will be a bit tedious. You describe having 20 entries in the topology table and you want to control which one gets placed into the routing table. To do that you can either make the composite metric of the one entry more attractive or you can make the composite metric of the other 19 less attractive.
When you use an offset list you add to the metric of an entry. It will not make any entry be more attractive but it can make other entries less attractive. So you could configure an offset list identifying the route in question and apply some offset (100 should work for example). Then you would need to apply this offset to the 19 neighbors who are advertising the route.

Routing process

Hi,
While I am debuging ICMP traffic originated from a router ( Debug ip packet details) it is showing packets routed via FIB and reply is showing as routed via RIB .is it means ICMP packet originating from the router is CEF switched ? if it does then whether the CEF switched packet will show in the debug output ?.Documents showing that only process switched packet can be debugged .
one more doubt regarding the routing process
documents stating that the routing process is actually consist of three processes 1.routing 2.switching 3.encapsulation
so regardless of every switching methods (Process ,Fast or CEF ) router is doing routing table lookup in the first process (Routing)
thanks
