Hi,
I have created a human task based on the example 'VacationRequest' in the oracle complete guide for 11g.
i have also created a Task display form(workflow) for the human task, the workflow is a seperate project in the same application.
I am able to deploy the BPEL process containing the human task.
but when i try deploying the workflow associated to the BPEL process, i get the following error during deployment..

OIM 11gR2 - Out-of-the-box Approval Workflows

Does anyone know of any good resources that describes the out-of-the-box approval/provisioning workflows of 11g R2? I have searched Google back and forth but found nothing. Some of the workflows are obvious by their name (such as default/BeneficiaryManagerApproval!1.0), but others are not so clear regarding their flows.
On that same note, can one of the out-of-the-box approval workflows be configured to route to an approval group instead of single users?
Thanks for your help!

Instead of searching for docs in google i guess reverse-engineering on your own will be the best way to understand the approval workflows. Navigate to OIM_HOME/server/workflows/composites. It will contain all the approval workflow zip files. Unzip the required one which you want to understand and there will be a .jws file in it. Now open that in jdeveloper and open AprrovalProcess.bpel and composite.xml. It will show how the approval routes and what are the business rules written, everything. It is the best way to understand the approval workflows.
In the same way u can make changes to the out-of-the-box approval workflows also. See this OBE tutorial to understand how you can assign the approval to a group
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/fmw/oim/oim_11g/Request_Workflow_for_Self_Registration/request_workflow_for_self_registration.htm
Also please try the approval workflow given in the developer's guide which covers most of the basics.

Map OIPM fields to Workflow fields - Supporting Content for Complex field

Hi All,
I am trying to create a application in OIPM 11g, there we had a option as Add BPEL Workflow. In my workflow the input as a complex type. How to map the complex type. i got only one option "Supporting Content" and beside it Supporting content Key and XPath values. wht values do i need to give there.
The workflow i am using is sample given HelloBPEL process.
Thanks,
Rakesh.

Deena,
please, read this section in the manual: Understanding Workflow Agents - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1)
If I got it right, content key and xpath are required only for Supporting Content (e.g. if you have an image of an invoice, a supporting content can be a purchase order document associated with the invoice).

WFT to OWB Process Flow migration

We have a workflow process defined with Oracle Workflow Builder 2.6. We keep workflow in a wft file and deploy it to Oracle 9 and 10 databases with wfload utility.
The process basically calls some OWB mappings and stored procedures.
Now we want to migrate to 11G.
Is there any way to upgrade it to Process Flow in Oracle Warehouse Builder ?
Do we need a seprate license to run the Process Flow in Oracle 11G using Worklfow Engine ?
Thanks

Oleg2 wrote:
No, you don't need sepparate license for Oracle Workflow on 11g database.
Workflow already installed with 11g - look at ORACLE_HOME\owb\wf
OK, thanks, I was able to install workflow from the folder above, I was not sure about licensing.
Is there any way to upgrade it to Process Flow in Oracle Warehouse Builder ?It depends on how will you migrate to 11g database, including workflow/OWB migration.
What OWB release did you use for mapping design ?
I already migrated the mappings from OWB 2.6 to newest OWB using metadata export/import.
But the workflow process was maintained in Oracle Workflow Builder 2.6, is there any automated migration from Workflow to Process Flow in new OWB.
and what whas the reason for avoiding deployment processflow via OWB?
I do not know the reason, I was not involved in the project from the beginning. Probably because it was easy to call wfload from bat/sh script in installation script.
Regards,
Thanks

How to edit task form generated from human task (.jspx)???

I created simple SOA application with simple Human task (from this tutorial http://redstack.wordpress.com/2010/01/08/human-workflow-in-11g/ but it doesnt matter) in JDeveloper. Then I generated standard form from human task (Human task -> Auto-Generate Task Form).
The question is, how to make own form? Not the generated default, but with my own logic...That form is jspx, not jsp, and thats the main problem, in this JDeveloper everything is a bit complicated.
I tried delete whole generated content, and just import my created file.jsp into jspx like below, but without result. How to import jsp into jspx? I dont want to completely rewrite my existing jsp into jspx and copy it over default...

HI all,
We are using 10g as database and owb version is 10.2. 0.1 and i need to know that which was work flow version installed in system (database).
For 11g is it necessary to install work flow separately.
Thanks in advance,

Bpm 11g with ADF R2 UI for Human Workflow UI

Hi
Would like to check if it is possible to develop the ui conponent of an bpm 11g flow in Adf R2, and integrate the developed ui using bpm workspace?

Would like to check if it is possible to develop the ui conponent of an bpm 11g flow in Adf R2, and integrate the developed ui using bpm workspace?No. the documentation for ADF 11gr2 specifically says use it only if you aren't using any of the SOA/BPM /Webcenter components.
Having said that, it may not be impossible, but you'd have a number of challenges -
- Your BPM workspace application would need the ADF 11g R1 runtime so if your human task UI is in 11g r2, you might have to use a custom built worklist app in 11gr2 (just like you'd do in a non-ADF technology).
- In your ADF 11gR2 UI, you'd need to use the human workflow API's (unless you develop your human task UI in 11g R1 first and then migrate it - which defeats the whole purpose of using R2..)...

Question on BPM 11g Workflow Services

Hi,
There was no out of the box support feature which would enable the end users ( agents ) to fetch a work item one at a time from some queue . This allocation/fetch would be done on the basis of some algorithm ( SLA, Priority etc ) . We developed this custom feature through the APIs provided in BPM 10g - Process API ( aka PAPI ). Now we have to port this custom feature to Oracle BPM 11g and there is no equivalent support for PAPI available in BPM 11g . There is another API - workflow services , but we are not sure if it will support the same feature as we are struggling to get Oracle BPM 11g installed. Request you to kindly help us in identifying if the same functionality can be achieved in BPM 11g.
Regards,
CC

Hi Chandu,
Were you able to close the same? If yes, please help me also...

Date transfer between 11g BPMN Process and Human Workflow task

I'm creating a small BPMN process in SOA Suite 11g. Pretty simple: Holiday Request where one enters name, start date, end date and leave type (e.g. annual). The odd thing is, any dates I enter into the process end up losing one day when viewed in the BPM Worklist.
So, to be clear:
* The BPMN process receives a message like this (note the +10:00 -- I'm running this in Australia):
<RequestData>
<name>JohnJames</name>
<startDate>2010-06-21+10:00</startDate>
<endDate>2010-06-21+10:00</endDate>
<leaveType>annual</leaveType>
</RequestData>
* It does some minor processing, then passes this onto a Human Workflow task (exactly the same):
<RequestData>
<name>JohnJames</name>
<startDate>2010-06-21+10:00</startDate>
<endDate>2010-06-21+10:00</endDate>
<leaveType>annual</leaveType>
</RequestData>
* When I open the task in the BPM Worklist app I see this:
name : JohnJames
startDate : 20/06/2010
endDate : 20/06/2010
leaveType : annual
So, why? My processing code doesn't alter the dates in any way at all before passing them to Human Workflow. I figure this has something to do with locales used by HW but I can't figure out where or what to change. Any clues? Comments? Ideas?

OK, I have a solution that works for me: YMMV. There's two parts to it:
1) To have the dates interpreted correctly, I changed the fields on the generated forms for the Human Tasks. The Start Date and End Date fields were created as Input Text fields with the "Converter" property set to <default>. I changed the fields to Input Date fields instead, and the dates were interpreted correctly (i.e. May 21 showed up as May 21 rather than May 20) But they still showed up in US date format: 5/21/2010.
2) To have them formatted for my locale, I added a "formatting-locale" entry to the "trinidad-config.xml" file: <formatting-locale>en-AU</formatting-locale>. The dates then showed up as 21/5/2010.
This solution doesn't give you dates automatically formatted for your own locale, or different locales based on browser, but it does give me what I want for now. Thought some folks might be interested.

Workflow Question in WebCenter 11g

Hi all, I'm new in Oracle Product. So I don't have any ADF knowledge. My boss ask me to create a workflow for a folder in a WebCenter 11g Space. He wants the document only visible to the author and approver after uploaded. Once the document be approved, it will be visible to all. Or if the document is rejected, it will only visible to the author. May I know is it hard to create this kind of workflow? Any ADF knowledge need? Many Thanks.

Check workflow functionality in WebCenter Content: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e10978/c05_workflows.htm#sthref203
It requires no ADF knowledge - if you want some additional customizations (most likely not needed in your case), you might need idocScript, WCC's proprietary scripting language - the link above should give you enough details.
He wants the document only visible to the author and approver after uploaded. Once the document be approved, it will be visible to all. Or if the document is rejected, it will only visible to the author.Speaking about WebCenter Content it works like that out of the box. You mentioned, however, that your workflow will be operated from WebCenter Portal: Spaces. In fact, (and that's the question to WebCenter Portal forum) I'm not sure if Portal's task flows that are responsible for integration with Content repository, such as Document Explorer, take this into account. I think I have seen a thread which discussed that all items were displayed. This can be easily verified. On the other hand, it that comes true, you'd have to customize the WebCenter Portal task flows (and there ADF would be necessary).

OIM 11g Approval Workflow Notification Configuration

Dear All,
Is there any documentation guide or tutorial or step by step guide about how to configure approval workflow notification in oim 11g?
In my case, a request must be approve by 3 (three) level of approver, "Requester Manager" --> "Application Business Owner" --> "Application Administrator". On each level, a notification need to be sent to the approver contains all information about the requester and the resource that requested.
How can i configure the notification since approval processes are in SOA composite and the development of the workflow is using JDeveloper?
Many Thanks for your help.

Hi
Please go through the link, You can configure notification any time based on you requirement. You have to get emails to whom you want to sent, just set this mail in a variable. Use this variable as to ,..

Where is the 11g workflow home page???

On 10g it was at http://<host.:7777/pls/wf/wfa_html.home
Where did they hide it in 11g, since workflow is part of Warehouse builder....?
Everything is working, OWB and workflow...but I can't find the Oracle Workflow home page...help please

Hmmm...that doesnt work for me; there is nothing listening on 7778 or 7777 on my 11g RAC Cluster.
Oracle wants me to install the Apache server off the 10g companion cd and create the dads...etc. Just like you had to do in 10g...
I can see it working fine with a single node; but not with RAC. If metalink's way is the only way, that means I'll have two disconnected http servers, both serving up the same DAD's, that doesn't sound like a really good idea.
Ok...anyone really know what the right answer is...I'll probably go with the metalink sr answer and install the 10g http servers (even though I don't like the idea), if no one has a better solution...

OWB 10gR2 on DB 11g and Workflow installation

Hi all,
my customer has a data warehouse running on Oracle DB 10gR2 - 2 nodes RAC - on Linux 32 bit (Red Hat enterprise 5);
ETL is developed with OWB 10gR2 and exploits Oracle Workflow (2.6.4).
They are going to upgrade the database to 11.1 (still 2 nodes RAC) on Linux 64 bit (Red Hat enterprise 5),
and they would prefer to avoid OWB upgrade.
On Oracle Support, it seems that OWB 10gR2 is certified on DB 11.1,
so our idea is to install a OWB 10gR2 repository on DB 11.1 and then export/import MDL
from current repository (OWB 10gR2 on DB 10gR2) to the new repository (OWB 10gR2 on DB 11.1).
My first question is related to Workflow:
is it correct to install Workflow on the new DB 11.1 using the software available in the home of OWB 11g software ?
is it guaranteed thet OWB 10gR2 installed on DB 11.1 will have no problems in using such installation of OWF ?
or should we install OWF 2.6.4 on DB 11.1 using the same software that was installed on db 10gR2 ?
My second question is related to *32 bit vs 64 bit platform*;
intuitively, we should install the 64 bit version of OWB 10gR2 (and OWF) on the new plaftorm hosting DB 11g:
is ita potential issue for the OWB repository migration ?
on our pc of course we will go on using OWB Client 32 bit: are there compatibility problems?
Thanks
Silvio

Hi Silvio,
is it correct to install Workflow on the new DB 11.1 using the software available in the home of OWB 11g software ?It is better to use Oracle Workflow from DB 11g.
is it guaranteed thet OWB 10gR2 installed on DB 11.1 will have no problems in using such installation of OWF ?As I know DB 11gR1 contains also 2.6.4 Workflow release, so you won't have any problem
My second question is related to 32 bit vs 64 bit platform;
intuitively, we should install the 64 bit version of OWB 10gR2 (and OWF) on the new plaftorm hosting DB 11g:
is ita potential issue for the OWB repository migration ?IMHO it is not problem
on our pc of course we will go on using OWB Client 32 bit: are there compatibility problems?There are no any problem with 32bit OWB client and OWB repository on 64bit platform

Oleg
