Workflow on Oracle database 11g

642003Jun 3 2008 — edited Jun 5 2008
Hi, is Oracle Workflow Server included in 11g?

In this article I read that Oracle has announced product obsolescence for Oracle Workflow and Oracle Workflow Server will not be included in Oracle Database Editions 11g and above.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/workflow/workflow_sod.html

In next article I read that Oracle workflow is part of Oracle Warehouse Builder 11g.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31080_01/doc/install.102/b28224/install_opts05.htm#i1024473

And finally in this article I read that Oracle Warehouse Builder 11g is now shipped as part of the database and is no longer part of Developer Suite. The core ETL features are now provided free with the database Standard Edition, Standard Edition One, and Enterprise Edition.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/htdocs/owb_10gr2_faq.htm#IsWarehouseBuilder10gRelease2nowDB

So if OWF is included in OWB and OWB is shipped as a part of database, there must be Workflow included in 11g, am I right?

Thanks

No.


Oracle has not certified any of its products on VMware. For Oracle RAC, Oracle will only
accept Service Requests as described in this note on Oracle RAC 11.2.0.2 and later
releases.

See Oracle note :

Support Position for Oracle Products Running on VMWare Virtualized Environments [ID 249212.1]

As the previous responder points out, whilst Oracle does not actively certify its products in VMWare environments, it will provide support provided the issue is already known on the guest OS, or it can be reproduced outside a VMWare environment.

I know of many organisations running VMWare with RAC, including my own although we tend NOT to use it in Production environments. Oracle has many resource management capabilities built in to the RDBMS and the Grid Infrastructure which only work well if Oracle has control of all of the resources on a server.

I guess if you're not satisfied with our responses, you should direct your question to Oracle Support rather than this forum. Certification of VMWare is probably as much (or may be mostly) a business decision by Oracle and us Forum members can't generally explain those decisions.
