Workflow in Oracle 9i OWB

Hi,
Does OWB 9i support the following:-
1)Does it support work flow based mechanism for PULL and PUSH processes?
2)Can OWB operate on an automated basis once the process logic and mappings have been described.? It should automatically request and acknowledge user approval for uploads to take place.
Please let me know.

Hi,
1) Warehouse Builder's paradigm is currently centered around a data pull mechanism. I.e. an external trigger invokes a Warehouse Builder mapping (or process flow) which pulls the data. However, with very minimal impact it is possible to implement the external trigger to be a message, since every mapping or process flow can be executed in PL/SQL or as a standalone SQLPlus call. About how to call a Warehouse Builder mapping or process flow in PL/SQL, please check out http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/products/warehouse/files/run_my_owb_stuff.sql.
2) It sounds like what you are looking for is Oracle Workflow's notification mechanism to be integrated with Warehouse Builder. In the current release, that is not the case... and would have to be built manually on top of the current framework (either in PL/SQL, or using Workflow extensions). Either way would be doable. For the next release of Warehouse Builder, scheduled autumn 2004, we will support the notification mechanism.
Thanks,
Mark.

  • Using workflow with Oracle InterConnect

    Has anybody had any experience using Oracle WorkFlow with Oracle InterConnect? I have created events deployed by iStudio to Oracle Workflow but when I try to send the message, the activity/function that I create (both PL/SQL or External Java) using Oracle Workflow Builder never get executed. Am I missing something? Are there any procedure I need to run with iStudio and Oracle Workflow?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Edward

    Hi Edward,
    When you say that the function never gets executed, do you mean that nothing in the workflow is running, or just this step?
    Is the system status set correctly? Have the event definitions been deployed from iStudio to BES? Have you completed the post installation steps for InterConnect for workflow development?
    Is it just the workflow component that you are having problems with? Since the workflow adapter is essentially a customized AQ adapter, this should run fine out of the box.

  • Loading data from SQL server 2000 to Oracle using OWB 10.2

    Hi All,
    I have to move data from SQL server to Oracle using OWB. Any idea how to connect to SQL Server thru the OWB design centre console. There is no detail available in the documentation. OWB cocumentation says that "OWB Integrator for Oracle DB & Apps 3.0" is available to connect to Non-Oracle Database (including Sybase, Informix, ODBC).

    Hi,
    yes, you can use ODBC and configure HSODBC on the database server to create a database link to the sql-server. If your oracle server is microsoft based you are ready, otherwise you have to buy an odbc-driver for linux, unix or whatever you use.

  • Oracle workflow  with oracle stardard edition 10g

    I have read this document id on metalink about the difference between different edition of oracle database 10:

    Can I use Oracle workflow with oracle stardard edition 10g?

    I would suggest to get in touch with your Oracle vendor to find out more details on this one. Looks like an additional license.

  • Workflow in Oracle 9i

    I install oracle9i download from OTN, while how do I find the workflow in oracle 9i, also I have workflow client, do i need to install workflow server at oracle9i server?

    Hi,
    you've to run the oracle installer again and choose for 'Oracle9i Management and Integration 9.0.1.0.0' custom installation.
    You'll see that the workflow parts are selected. Follow the wizard and workflow will be installed.
    For the Oracle Workflow client:
    run the oracle installer again and choose for : Oracle9i Client 9.0.1.0.0, Custom installation. Check if the oracle workflow client software is checked.
    There will be other parts of the client selected, but I think you need these parts ... So,just run it.
    Good luck

  • Oracle Workflow VS Oracle Approvals Management

    Hi,
    I am new to Oracle Apps. I would like to know the difference between Oracle Workflow and Oracle Approvals Management. I a bit confused. Why we need to have Oracle Approvals Management module if the same can be achieved through Oracle Workflow. Am I missing sometiing here.
    Thanks
    IB

    Hi
    I'll try to explain the difference. Workflow is the background process which is followed by the self service transaction. The workflow consists of a series of tasks or functions and exh function will return a 'result'. The routhe through the workflow process will depend on the rersults. For example, if the workflow task is 'validate input' and the result can be 'valid' or 'invalid', after this taks the workflow will follow either the 'valid' path or the 'invalid' path. Eventually, the workflow will reach an 'end' task when the tranaction is complete.
    AME is a process of determining approvers dynamically from the transaction data, or during the transaction. AME is called in different ways from each module in the e-Business Suite. In HR for example, it is usually called during the 'review' process. It will execute a rule based on conditions (which must be true). The conditions are in turn based on the values of attributes you define in AME. Effectively, you can define a business rule such as IF ORGANIZATION = ABC THEN APPROVERS ARE FIRST 2 SUPERVISORS IN SUPERVISOR HIERARCHY.
    AME is usually embedded into a workflow task.
    I hope that explains it in simple (relatively non-technical) terms!

  • Is Oracle Workflow required to execute OWB schedules?

    Hi,
    I want to create and deploy a schedule in OWB 10gR2 to automatically run my OWB process flow every week. I would like to know
    1) Whether I need to install Oracle workflow too in order to execute the process flow as per the schedule created?
    2) If not, how does the OWB scheduler work?
    3) Also, if the scheduled proces flow terminates due to some error, how do I resume executing it from the point of termination after correcting the error?
    Thanks
    Amit

    Hi Amit,
    1. Is the workflow monitor a standard part of Oracle workflow,or does one need a separate license for it?All parts Oracle workflow (workflow server, workflow monitor, workflow builder) licensed with Oracle database licenses,
    so if you buy Oracle database you can use workflow components without any limitations.
    2. In your approach, you had mentioned that there should be no transitions for error, but I would like to send an email notification to the DW administrator incase of an error before suspending the process flow.My recomendation is to use additional PL/SQL procedure which will executed periodically (for example every 30 minutes, scheduled with DBMS_JOBS/DBMS_SCHEDULER),
    in this procedure you can use query on OWB public view (ALL_RT_AUDIT_EXECUTIONS) or workflow repository views/tables
    for identification failed steps/mappings (if you decide to use OWB public view) or "stucked" processflow (if you will use workflow views/tables,
    algorithm of identification stucked processflow you can see in workflow PL/SQL package WF_ENGINE, procedure ProcessStuckProcess).
    Using post-mapping is more expensive because you need modify each mapping which you want to monitor for fails.
    Example of query for identifiaction failed steps (PL/SQL prcoedures and mappings) within period of time datetime1..datetime2 with ALL_RT_AUDIT_EXECUTIONS
    select * from ALL_RT_AUDIT_EXECUTIONS where task_type in ('PLSQL','PLSQLProcedure')
    and NOT (return_result is null or return_result='OK') and :datetime1<=created_on and created_on<:datetime2

  • Workflow Deployment Wizard - in OWB

    I am working with Oracle Warehouse Builder, and I can generate all my project and I can also register my jobs in OEM by OWB.
    Now I'm trying to run the "Workflow Deployment Wizard", in order to schedue my jobs into Workflow.
    I need to do that, and I've already installed the "Oracle Workflow Server" in the same machine where the Oracle9iAS is located (SUN).
    The infrastructure database is located in another SUN machine.
    In order to install Oracle Workflow Server in Oracle9iAS, I followed the instructions to install InterConnect, that has embeded the Workflow.
    In the workflow login, I connect with the user "owf_mgr" and I follow
    clicking next untill the end. In the last window, "Finish", I keep selected the box "Do you want to deploy Workflow Process into Oracle Enterprise Manager?" and click "Finish".
    So, only the first 3 jobs are created into OEM, the "Item Type". Afther that, the following error message appears:
    WKF0012: Oracle Enterprise Manager job registration failed:
    WKF0013: Oracle Enterprise Manager job registration failed.
    Verify that the Oracle Management Server is running and that the

    Does anyone have any idea of what's happening here? I'd very glad if you could help me.

  • Custom Workflow using Oracle Workflow in ContentDB

    Hi,
    Could we use custom workflow which is made using Oracle Workflow instead of BPEL.
    Regards,
    Yulisar

    Having registered custom workflows for Content DB via Enterprise Manager, potentially you can use any tool capable of dequeuing/enqueing messages from the IFS_BPEL_OUT/IFS_BPEL_IN advanced queues as part of a custom workflow process.
    By default, we assume you are using Oracle BPEL PM with its Advanced Queue adapater to process the queue messages. However, there is nothing stopping using Oracle Workflow or any tool for that matter.
    HOWEVER!!! Warning!!! There is a high probability that Content DB will drop the bundled Oracle Worflow installation in the near future. What this means, is that you should consider installing/configure/patching your own separate Oracle Workflow installation and not rely on the bundled Content DB solution which is used internally for Serial and Parallel Approval workflows.
    thanks,
    Matt.

  • How to register custom workflow in oracle apps ?

    Hello
    I am new to workflow. I have customized an oracle standard workflow and now i want to register this custom one. Please help how to register the custom workflow. What steps need to achieve this.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You may or may not need to "register" the workflow - it depends on the changes that you made and which Item Type you modified. Some applications are essentially hard-coded to use a specific item type and process, some hard-coded to use an item type but you can configure the process to use, and some allow you to specify which item type and which process to use.
    Without knowing exactly what you have done, though, there is no specific advice that anyone can give you here on what you need to do, apart from to ensure that you have saved the new definition to the database.
