Workflow monitor ?

Hi Folks,
I have installed workflow server 2.6.4.( I am using OWB 10g R2 which is accessing Oracle 10g Enterprise edition R2). I have installed workflow middle tier too successfully. I was told that installing workflow middle tier will help in better monitoring the process flow.I have downloade and installed workflow client too.
I am unsable to find 'workflow monitor' for which I went through the above exercise. Can anyone point me in right direction so as I can start using workflow monitor to analyse/monitor my process flows.
Thanks

Hi,
look at http://<machine-name:7777>/pls/wf/wfa_html. You must log on as the workflow-owner which you had configured after installing the workflow server.

Detlef

Workflow Monitor Drill Down

Hi,
Not sure if this problem is related to the OWB team, but
would definitely need to know if this has been experienced before.
We have OWB 9.2 running on a Oracle 9i R2 Database (9.2.0.5) with workflow 2.6.2. We have process flows
deployed and running properly. In the Workflow Monitor
we are not able to drill down to the sub process for some
reason. When we double click on the process, it dosen't
do anything. Normally, Workflow allows the drill down
to the sub process.
Is this a restriction of OWB by any chance ?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Rgds,
Sri

Hello, I have the same versions of OWB and Workflow. I observed this very behaviour, and explained it noticing that the subprocesses are really functions which call the processes. A process MYSUBPROCESS is called by a function named something like @MYSUBPROCESS, so I think it's impossible to drill down. In fact in the Monitor if you click on a sub process, the activity type is equal to "function" in the Definition tab -- instead of "process".

Oracle Workflow Monitor

I've seen plenty of references to Oracle Workflow Monitor, but I've never paid much attention. Yesterday I got an error message from Control Center that instructed me to use Oracle Workflow Monitor to solve my problem (a process was running and needed to be shut down before regenerating).
But how to I use Oracle Workflow Monitor? Is it installed by default when OWF was initially installed with OWB? What URL do I use access it? If it does not run after the conventional OWB install, is there a How-To document available for configuring it?
To be clear, OWF seems to be set up and working. I have created and run process flows successfully. I've just experienced a weird problem that Control Center cannot seem to handle -- and I'm looking for answers. Frankly, I'm mystified at the lack of information on Oracle Workflow Monitor given that OWB error messages reference it and plenty of people seem to discuss it in technical forums.
Thanks,
David

Thanks Robert!
We are using OWB 11 on Oracle 11, but I'm going to press on and ask our DBA to install the OWF mid-tier components from the 10g Companioin CD. I don't think workflow has changed and so I'm hopeful.
(If anybody has experience, please chime in for the record.)
Thanks again!

How to access Workflow Monitor

Hello,
We have installed and configured Oracle Workflow Server 2.6.3 with the Workflow Configuration Assistant (in a 10g database schema).
Now we want to access the Workflow Monitor but can't find
a clear description of the configuration steps.
Can someone provide us with the steps needed to setup / configure the Workflow Monitor.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Dimitry Peelen

Hi Rich,
Can you please tell me where can I find the Middle Tier for OWF. We have installed Oracle Workflow as a stand alone product to support the Oracle Warehouse Builder.
I have installed the Oracle Work Flow Server 262 and configured the Browser. But whenever I try to view the process flow diagram a login window pops-up, after passing workflow schema user/password it complains about Monitor notinitiated.
Do I require Oracle9iAS to install the workflow middletier?
thanks

RPE-02062 Workflow Monitor

When I try to re-deploy an updated Process Flow, it fails with the following error:
"RPE-02062: ItemType MERGERAW cannot be dropped as it has running processes. You must first abort all the running processes using the Oracle Workflow Monitor".
I have only installed OWF to use with OWB, and don't even think I have an Oracle Workflow Monitor! I located a session with username OWF_MGR and killed it. I have even rebooted the server, but the OWF_MGR session keeps coming back.
How else do I abort these running processes?

Looking back at my installation notes for Oracle Workflow, I found that I could access the Oracle Workflow web services from the following URL
"http://<server_name>[:<port>]/pls/OWF_DAD/wfa_html.home" where OWF_DAD is the Data Access Descriptor defined during installation. If you connect using the owf_mgr user name / pwd that was created when installing OWF then the browser window displays "Oracle Workflow" and a list of hyperlinks. One of these is "Find Processes". Following this link and clicking the 'Find' button with Item Type=All selected, shows a list of process names and their status. From there I was able to see the process flow that was causing the problem and abort it. Deploying the process flow from OWB then worked smoothly.

Workflow Monitor on Warehouse Builder 11g r2

Hi everyone,
I'm developing an ETL process using Warehouse Builder 11g r2 on Oracle Database 11g r2.
I don't find any information about installation and use of Workflow Monitor with this last release.
Before I used OWB e DB 10g r2 where I can find Workflow Monitor+Application Server+ Midtier in "Companion CD".
In 11g r2 there aren't a CD like that, and i don't now how to proceed.
The solution i thought is to use Workflow Monitor from 10g r2 companion cd but i hope in a better
and "updated" solution.
Can anyone suggest me?
Thank you!

Thank you so much for your answer, but my question is slightly different.
From .../owb/wf I've just installed Workflow 2.6.4.
What I need is Workflow Monitor, a tool where you can
see the execution of a process using a web browser.

Workflow/Monitoring

I have been working on installing the Workflow/Monitoring for a few days but it do not work.
i have installed the IDM and it works properly. Also the Smarty Template Engine and php are working without exepctions. But when i open the workflow/monitoring template there is allways an Error 500 in the internet explorer(by the way it is a windows based system)
Have you got any hints for me?
Thanks for your help.

CCMS Workflow Monitoring - Task

Hello,
I would like to see if we can use CCMS to monitor Workflow specifically the Task. Here is a sample Purchase Order Create scenario.
1 - Purchase Order Create Request comes in (as interface) from PI to ECC.
2 - Purchase Order created successfully (or failed) in ECC.
3 - Upon successful (or fail) creation of Purchase Order in ECC, ABAP codes calls a function to raise an Event named "CREATED" under Business Object named "BUS2012" for "PurchaseOrderERPRequest_In_V1" service interface in ECC.
4 - Workflow Engine in ECC acknowledges the event that was raised in step 3 and executes assigned Task ID "53800009" for that event which executes the Class named "CL_SE_PUR_PO_WF_OUT" which is basically going to send out Purchase Order Create Acknowledgment message (as interface) back to PI so that PI knows PO has been successfully created (or failed) in ECC.
The monitoring gap we have today is when Task ID fails, it does not send out Acknowledgment message back to PI which can cause a problem. We want to be able to monitor the execution of Task ID with CCMS if this is possible via CCMS.
Can this (monitoring Workflow Task via CCMS) be done with CCMS?
Thanks,
Jay

Workflow Monitoring with RZ20

Hello,
We just started working with WF and my question is how can we monitoring WF in the CCMS monitoring and how can we do the monitoring within Solution Manager 3.2?
Regards,
Mike Geluk

Hi Mike,
What kind of monitoring are you looking for?
Are you talking of CCMS alerts in a XI context. Then you should use the AlertInbox and setup the alerts in transaction ALRTCATDEF. If its Business Workflow you are talking about, transaction SWI1, SWI5 and SWI6 are very usefull. Besides that you can look into the WIS (Workflow Information System). Just note that the WIS is discontinued as of NW2004S.
Why would you want to monitor in Solution Manager?
Hope it helps

Process flow failed in Workflow Monitor

I have OBIEE 11g & i have a workflow that pick up data from my live environment on a daily basis.
Since i have added a new table to the workflow, my workflow keeps failing haphazardly.
Any help where i may look for any additional information?

Try this:
DAC 10.1.3.4.1 Release Notes at
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12513_01/doc/bic.101/e12655.pdf
3.21 DAC Task Failing On Non-English Operating System
This issue applies to DAC 10.1.3.4.1 and Informatica PowerCenter 8.6.1, HotFix3
DAC Server uses pmcmd to initiate the workflows on Informatica Server. In the
English-based operating systems, DAC issues the commands in the non-blocking
mode (asynchronously), and polls Informatica for the status of the workflow. The
output of the pmcmd getWorkFlowDetails is spooled to the DAC\log directory, and
then gets parsed to determine whether the workflow is still running, completed
successfully, or failed.
However, for non-English based operating systems DAC issues commands in the
waiting mode (synchronously). This means that when the process completes the exit
code tells DAC whether the workflow succeeded or not.
Workaround
The commands used by DAC to communicate with Informatica are externalized in a
file called infa_commands.xml.
The DAC 10.13.4.1 command template does not have a place holder for specifying the
wait mode. Without this wait mode configuration, on non-English OS based
installation, this results in DAC proceeding with the execution even before the
workflow completes executing. This might result in errors, such as Informatica's bulk
loader failing because of index presence or fact tables getting loaded without foreign
key references.
To fix the problem,...etc

Why Task failing in DAC shows as completed in Informatica Workflow monitor?

Hi BI Guru's,
I have a task( 'SIL_TimeDimension_MCalDay' and its detail Task is 'Create Index INDEX W_MCAL_DAY_D_P1' )in DAC that shows 'Failed' .
The same task( i.e 'SIL_TimeDimension_MCalDay') shows 'Succeded' in Workflow_monitor.
Any thoughts ?
Regards,
JK

To check the data-integrity:
- Find the target table(s) for the task
- Determine which index is failing
- In the DAC go to the "Design" view tab and click the Indicies tab, query for the index that failed (note whether or not that index is unique, it is a checkbox in the edit sub-tab). Click the columns sub-tab and find the columns the index is attempting to create an index on.
- Write a query that will return the records that are breaking the index:
For example: If I have a table named EMPLOYEE and I'm trying to create a unique index on a FIRST_NAME column and a EMP_NUMBER column I would write the following SQL:
SELECT FIRST_NAME, EMP_NUMBER, COUNT(*) FROM EMPLOYEE GROUP BY FIRST_NAME, EMP_NUMBER HAVING COUNT(*) > 1;
Hope this helps!
