Hi All,

I am not able to deploy web forms created in composer on BPM 2.2.1.3.0. I can build a process and deploy the process but when I include web form , it breaks with below error on screen. Has any one faced any similar issue?

and in logs I get the below error stack.

<oracle.bpm.metrics.measurement.MeasurementMetadataService> <MeasurementMetadataService> <checkAndHandleBAM12cNonAvailabilty> <BAM 12c seems to be either not configured/enabled or not available. All analytics data publish to BAM 12c ProcessMetrics action from composite Player/Hello!1.0*soa_6b1a2862-743e-484b-9db2-d0da00b65f14 will be disabled>

I think the BAM log error messages might not be indicative of the underlying cause of your deployment issue.

Users are assigned privileges to use Composer using Enterprise Manager. From Enterprise Manager, you can assign your Active Directory groups and users to 8 different Oracle BPM Composer Roles with different capabilities (e.g., BPMComposerAdmin, CreateNewProject, BPMComposerViewProject, BPMComposerDeveloper, BPMComposerDesigner, BPMComposerDeployer, BPMComposerDocumentProject, etc.). Not being assigned the BPMComposerDeployer role might be your issue.

Log in as the domain administrator into Enterprise Manager. In Enterprise Manager, expand Application Deployments -> Expand OracleBPMComposerRolesApp -> right click OracleBPMComposerRolesApp(<soa server name>) that was just expanded -> select Security -> Application Roles -> to list all of the different roles, on right side click the button to the right of the "Role Name" field.

You should now see the out of box Composer Roles listed. For example, if you click the Composer role BPMComposerAdmin, you could then assign it to the Group "Adminstrators". BPMComposerAdmin is an all-encompassing role that would allow administrators full privileges, but if all you wanted was to give someone the ability to deploy, you could assign them to an LDAP group with BPMComposerDeployer privileges.

To assign specific people or LDAP groups, select one of the Composer roles -> click the Edit button -> click Add -> click the Type dropdown and click either User or Group -> click the checkbox in the lower left corner to be able to search by the user's name in LDAP.

Hope this gets you going,

Dan

Thanks @Dan for taking out to explain about permissions. I have rechecked the permission and permissions are there. I can deploy and undeploy projects which doesn't have web forms and they works fine. This clearly points that the problem is associated with web form rather than permissions.

I am pasting complete stack trace.
