Workflow with Object Type LFA1

Dear Workflow Gurus,
My business scenario is as follows:
1. User will create the Vendor Master
2. Workflow will be triggered to the Manager so that he can check it (Display only)
Basically, I created a workflow with the following:
Start Event - BO LFA1 CREATED
Task - BO LFA1 DISPLAY
I have tested my workflow at SWDD and SWUE. It is working fine and I get the notification in my SBWP. I can then double click/execute the item in my SBWP Inbox and it will take me to XK03 (Working Perfectly). However, in a real time scenario, when I create a Vendor Master via either FK01, MK01 or XK01, I dont get any notification in my SBWP. Im puzzled as the test at SWDD and SWUE was a success.
Im wondering whether Im using the correct Object Type and Method for my START EVENT - BO LFA1 CREATED. Please take note that everything is Active, has been binded and I have assigned (Import checkbox) LFA1 in my Workflow Container
Please advise.

Hi,
It looks no event is created from FK01, MK01 or XK01.
Please activate the workflow event trace and check the event.
Regards,
Masa

Mapping refcursors with object types in a procedure

Hi all,
I need some help regarding the mapping of refcursors with object types .
Example: Procedure "A" has object types as input/output parameters which lies in the Web Method Application as a API.
We are creating a procedure "B" which has ref cursors as input/ouput parameters
which will map to the Procedure "A"'s object type parameters.
It will be highly needful for the solution.
Regards
Saugata

Your pseudocode has a lot of steps in it, but you didn't say which step you need help with. Since I already covered going from a nested table type to a refcursor, I'll assume you want an example that goes the other way now, like from a refcursor to a nested table type. Here's one ...

Workflow with item type and item key is in progress. Abort existing workfl

Dear all,
I'm using the below code from the submit button event to launch the workflow. The workflow works fine when I submit for the first time, when i try to submit for the second time from the same session it throws me the error as Workflow with item type and item key is in progress. Abort existing workflow.
Where I am struck,Kindly send me any solution.
I am using below code in oaf
public void workflow(OAPageContext pageContext,
String headerId,
String empName,
String userName
String wfItemType = "XXSample";
String wfProcess = "XXSample";
String wfItemKey = headerId;
OANavigation wfClass = new OANavigation();
// Create Workflow Process
wfClass.createProcess(pageContext, wfItemType, wfProcess, wfItemKey);
System.out.println("Workflow created");
wfClass.setItemAttrText(pageContext,
wfItemType,
wfItemKey,
"XXHDRID",
headerId);
wfClass.setItemAttrText(pageContext,
wfItemType,
wfItemKey,
"XXEMPNAME",
employeeName);
wfClass.setItemOwner(pageContext, wfItemType, wfItemKey,username);
wfClass.startProcess(pageContext, wfItemType, wfProcess, wfItemKey);
System.out.println("Workflow started");
Thanks,
Kumar.

Item type and item key forms unique record for the workflow session, you cannot have 2 instances of the workflow running for the same header id, in your case. Check if the process exists for the header id. If so, display a warning message without launching another workflow session, else start the workflow process.

Ever used the Table API (TAPI) with object type in the DB?

Hi all,
We are trying to generate the table API of a table that has a column defined by an object type. It works without problems if that column always has a value (is instantiated in object term). The problem is when we update a row where the column is null (all attributes of the object are null thus the object is not instantiated).
The "before update row" trigger of the Table API fails with error "ora-30625-method dispath on NULL SELF argument is disallowed".
Any of you guys made it work? If so, how?
Thanks

Restrictions with object types

Hello
Among other restrictions Oracle 8.1.7 does not support (1) change of definitions of types that have dependent data and (2)replication of object columns and object tables.
(1) While it is possible to add columns to existing relational tables and even change the size of columns it is not possible to do so with object types. This may expose a significant limitation for schema migration and maintainance. Is there any other support for those requirements, any workarounds other than crafting table copy scripts from scratch?
(2) This seems to make a couple of good things in Oracle unavailable with objects. No fault tolerance through replication? No standby database? What (development and runtime efficient) options remain with objects in that category?
Do the limitations persist in Oracle 9i?
What about tool support in Oracle 9i? DBA Studio, for example, is rather poor in dealing with objects in 8.1.7 - no browsing and management of object schema and data, you cannot even select an existing object type for a table column.
Are there other restrictions one should be aware of before touching objects?
Any experiences and information greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Thomas

Thomas,
Do you have some specific applications that you have in mind to use Oracle Objects? Do you plan to use type evolution and replication?
Oracle9i Object-Relational Technology has reached a major milestone with several 'completeness' features. As Arvind pointed out, in Oracle9i, type evolution can propogate changes to dependents. Object replication is also supported in Oracle9i.
Although Enterprize Management tools do provide easy-to-use GUIs, there are some limitations in handling Objects, especially when there are nesting involved. Fortunately, SQL*Plus can be used to remedy some of these limitations.

Issue in a custom workflow with Approval Type Notification. Urgent

Hi
I have created a custom workflow which contains an approval notification.
If the user approves/rejects the notification I need to update a table column as Approved or Rejected.
I have created a function activity,say X, which calls a PL/SQL procedure.
The issue is,
when the user approves or rejects the notification, the function X errors out even without entering the PL/SQL procedure.
Following is the error message
An Error occurred in the following Workflow.
Item Type = XXYH_UMX
Item Key = 55
User Key =USERKEY:55
Error Name = -6502
Error Message = ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small

Activity Label = XXYH_UMX_ASSIGN_RESPONSIBILITY:XXYH_UMX_RESP_ASSIGNED
Result Code = #EXCEPTION
Notification ID =
Assigned User =
If I go the function from any other function,say Y, (bypassing approval notification) it works fine.
Can you please help me what could be the issue?
Thanks,
Kamath.

The danger in putting in one activity is that if there is any scope longer-term to expand the process to multiple activities, then it may be better to break it out into a sub-process early in the design phase.
Generally, you get the feeling from the client fairly early on about whether they have a final design and how likely they are to complicate the process later on :)
I wouldn't include it as a post notification function myself - it saves a tiny amount of processing time and database space, but at the cost of making it less clear what is happening. Plus you'd need to check the result in the PNF manually - putting it on a conditional branch ensures that you always know what the value is. If the lookup type changes at any stage, you would need to check a PNF to ensure that the code still remains valid; if it's on a branch then the only thing to change would be to change the label on the branch.

Problem With Cutom Configuration with Object Type

Dear Guru's
I am working WebUI, I am facing a problem with Custom Configuration.
1. The initial requirement to control the visibility for a dropdown event in ERP Quotation.
2. To this i copied the default configuration to custom configuration with custom Object type and Subtype.
       CONFIG KEY: ZPJQTN
       OBJECT TYPE: ZOTYP_CONFIG
       OBJECT SUB TYPE: ZSTYPE_CONFIG1
3. I have created customm fields in enhancement.
4. Now i chosen my new configuration (ZPJQTN,ZOTYP_CONFIG,ZSTYP_CONFIG1), when i click Show available fields, the custom fields are not showing. Instead the created fields are available at other configuration.
5. I am able to control the visibility for the standard available fields.But i am not getting the custom created fields
(Note: I have created the Object type and Object sub type as follows: SPRO->CRM->UI Framework->Define Object Types
Object type: ZOTYP_CONFIG Callback class: ZCL_CONFIG_CALLBACK
Redifned the method: IF_BSP_DLC_OBJ_TYPE_CALLBACK~GET_OBJECT_SUB_TYPES
Coded as below:
data: lv_subtype type bsp_dlc_object_sub_type.
lv_subtype = 'ZSTYP_CONFIG1'.
append lv_subtype to result.
lv_subtype = 'ZSTYP_CONFIG2'.
APPEND lv_subtype to result.
Now Please suggest me how to achieve this.
Also please let me know, whether i am following the correct procedure for controlling the visibility.
Thanks in Advance,
S.Meganadhan.

Hi Harshit,
I added custom fields using AET only.
I am able to see the field got added in the structure. I am able to access GET and SET methods of the field.
But the problem is, it is not getting saved. Am i missed any configuration step?
Please suggest me.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,

DB Adapter - Calling Stored Procedure with Object Type

So, we are using JDeveloper 10.1.3.3
We are trying to create an ESB process that invokes a SP with an object type. However, the owner of the package / SP, is NOT the owner of the object type. When going through the DB Adapter wizard, it gives us the following error:
When attempting to use the DB Adapter in JDeveloper to create a partner link to execute a stored procedure. JDeveloper returns the following error:
Unable to import WSDL.
Error while writing wsdl file
Database type is either not supported or is not implemented.
Check to ensure that the type of the parameter is one of the supported datatypes or that there is a collection or user defined type definition representing this type defined in the database.
However, if I create a wrapper package / SP, it works just fine. I'd really like to not be having to create wrapper code for these SPs to work. Is this resolved in 11g? Is there a patch available for 10.1.3.3?
I think this is a JDeveloper Wizard issue, but thought I'd post this here as well.
Thanks,
BradW

This problem can be resolved by granting execute permission on the object type to the caller. For example, if the stored procedure is in schema1 and the object type is in schema2 then you would connect as schema2 and execute
SQL> grant execute on <object type> to schema1
Referencing object types defined in other schemas is documented. This is the described method for accessing object types in other schemas.

How can we execute a procedure with object type as its parameter, by passing partial elements.

Can somebody help...
I have a procedure which takes parameter as IN OUT extended object type .Below is the example.
PROCEDURE p_save (example IN OUT xyz_obj)
my object type "xyz_obj" have elements with other object types also, and that itself have around 100 elements.
And when calling the above procedure for test purpose, how is it possible to pass partial elements of the object type rather than setting all unused elements to null.

It ISN'T possible. How could it be? Each attribute has to be set to something don't you think?
A common way to handle that is to define a public package variable that is an instance of the object type and has ALL elements set to null. As Odie suggested a custom constructor function can be used for that.
Then you create your procedure instance by starting with an instance of the package variable (where everything is null) and setting values for the attributes you need.

Nested Tables with Object Types

Hi,
Does someone know from which version on object Types can be referenced via database links ?
I could not manage with Oracle 8.1.7 and needed this features as the only way to access
a stored procedure array is via collection and using Object Types.
But Object Types are not possible to access remotlely.
Thanks in advance.

Ever used the Designer Table API (TAPI) with object type in the DB?

Hi all,
We are trying to generate the Oracle Designer table API of a table that has a column defined by an object type. It works without problems if that column always has a value (is instantiated in object term). The problem is when we update a row where the column is null (all attributes of the object are null thus the object is not instantiated).
The "before update row" trigger of the Table API fails with error "ora-30625-method dispath on NULL SELF argument is disallowed".
The code that fails is the following:
cg$ind.TFO_DESCRIPTION :=(:new.TFO_DESCRIPTION IS NULL AND :old.TFO_DESCRIPTION IS NOT NULL )
OR (:new.TFO_DESCRIPTION IS NOT NULL AND :old.TFO_DESCRIPTION IS NULL)
OR NOT(:new.TFO_DESCRIPTION = :old.TFO_DESCRIPTION) ;
In this example, cg$ind.TFO_DESCRIPTION is a boolean and the TFO_DESCRIPTION column is based on an object type.
Thanks for any feedback or suggestions

For a solution to this problem: I set down to write a relatively simple and small piece of code that we can use as post compiler or post generator. After we generated one or more TAPIs, we can run this post compiler to remedy the problem the TAPI has with Merge operations. The post compiler will fix the PL/SQL inside the database. It reads the TAPI objects using dbms_metadata, makes the simple change by manipulating the PL/SQL source and then recreates the objects using execute immediate. Using this post compiler, it takes but a few seconds to fix the merge flaw in all TAPIs in your application.

How to insert with select in table with object types

I am in the proces of redesigning some tables, as i have upgraded from
personal oracle 7 to personal oracle 8i.
I have constructed an object type Address_type, which is one of the columns
in a table named DestTable.
The object type is created as follows:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE pub.address_type
AS OBJECT
Street1 varchar2(50),
Street2 varchar2(50),
ZipCode varchar2(10));
The table is created as follows:
CREATE TABLE pub.DestTable
(id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
LastName varchar2(30),
FirstName varchar2(25),
Address pub.address_type);
Inserting a single row is ok as i use the following syntax:
Insert into DestTable(1, '******* ', 'Lawrence', pub.address_type(
'500 Oracle Parkway', 'Box 59510', '95045'));
When i try to insert values into the table by selecting from another table i
cannot do it and cannot figure out what is wrong
I have used the following syntax:
Insert into DestTable
id, name, pub.address_type(Street1, Street2, ZipCode))
select
id, lastname, firstname, street1, street2, ZipCode
from SourceTable;
I have also tried the following syntax:
Insert into DestTable
id, name, pub.address_type(Address.Street1, Address.Street2,Address.ZipCode))
select
id, lastname, firstname, street1, street2, ZipCode
from SourceTable;
What is wrong here ?

Magnus,
1. Check out the examples on 'insert with subquery' in http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle8i/doc_library/817_doc/server.817/a85397/state21b.htm#2065648
2. Correct your syntax that repeated the column definition after "insert into ..."
Insert into DestTable
id, name, pub.address_type(Street1, Street2, ZipCode))
select
id, lastname, firstname, street1, street2, ZipCode
from SourceTable;

How to call procedure with Object types in java

Hi,
We have procedure declaration as follows
===============
TYPE TEST_TYPE AS OBJECT (NAME VARCHAR2(10));
TYPE TESTTYPE1 AS object (student1 TESTTYPE,student2 TESTTYPE,student3 TESTTYPE);
TYPE rect AS OBJECT
-- The type has 3 attributes.
length NUMBER,
width NUMBER,
area NUMBER,
-- Define a constructor that has only 2 parameters.
CONSTRUCTOR FUNCTION rect(length NUMBER, width NUMBER)
RETURN SELF AS RESULT
PROCEDURE G(obj1 in TESTTYPE1,obj2 out rect) as
n1 testtype;
n2 testtype;
n3 testtype;
n4 testtype;
begin
obj2 := NEW rect(10,20,200);
n1 := obj1.student1;
n2 := obj1.student2;
n3 := obj1.student3;
obj2.length :=20;
end;
=====================================================
I am not able to call the procedure in java code as I cannot figure out which out parameter type will it be registered using registeroutparameter. using cursor or struct type fails.
please let me know how I can pass values from stored procedure with objects to java.

I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish with your procedure, but in general, this is an example of how you could use oracle.sql.STRUCT.
First, prepare your java.sql.CallableStatement using java.sql.CallableStatement cStmt = java.sql.Connection.prepareCall({ call G(?, ?) });
Note that you don't have to use the OracleCallableStatement. The java.sql.CallableStatement will work just fine.
For the IN parameter, you need to create three TEST_TYPE objects. Then you need to create one TESTTYPE1 object.
These will all be instances of oracle.sql.STRUCT.
To create a oracle.sql.STRUCT object you need a descriptor and a set of attributes. For example, to create a TEST_TYPE object you would do the following
1. StructDescriptor sd = StructDescriptor.createDescriptor("TEST_TYPE", java.sql.Connection).
2. Add a VARCHAR2 attribute to an array of attributes (e.g. Object[] attributes = new Object[]{"Student Name"})
3. oracle.sql.STRUCT struct = new oracle.sql.STRUCT(sd, java.sql.Connection, attributes)
Then do something similar to create the TESTTYPE1 object, except that the attribute array will contain three instances of TEST_TYPE struct objects.
To bind the IN parameter you need to use the java.sql.CallableStatement.setObject(1, <Instance of TESTTYPE1 object>).
To register the OUT parameter, you need to call java.sql.CallableStatement.registerOutParameter(2, oracle.jdbc.OracleTypes.STRUCT, "RECT").
Then, execute your procedure using cStmt.execute();
Retrieve your OUT parameter using oracle.sql.STRUCT struct = (oracle.sql.STRUCT)cStmt.getObject(2).
Once you've done that, to get the values of the attributes of all of your STRUCT objects, you need their descriptors and their metadata.
