cube_instance - stores instance metadata, eg. instance
creation date, current
state, title, process identifier
cube_scope - stores the scope data for an instance ... all the variables
declared in the bpel flow are stored here, as well as some internal objects to
help route logic throughout the flow.
work_item - stores activities created by an instance ... all BPEL activities in
a flow will have a work_item created for it. This work item row contains meta
data for the activity ... current state, label, expiration date (used by wait
activities) ... when the engine needs to be restarted and instances recovered,
pending flows are resumed by inspecting their unfinished work items.
document - stores large XML variables. If a variable gets to be larger than a
specific size (configurable via the largeDocumentThreshold property via the
domain configuration page) then the variable is stored in this table to
alleviate loading/saving time from the cube_scope table.
audit_trail - stores the audit trail for instances. The audit trail viewed
from the console is modelled from an XML document. As the instance is worked
on, each activity writes out events to the audit trail as XML which is compress
ed and stored in a raw column. Querying the audit trail via the API/console wil
l join the raw columns together and uncompress the contents into a single XML do
cument.
audit_details - audit details can be logged via the api ... by default
activities such as assign log the variables as audit details (this behavior can
be set via the auditLevel property on the domain configuration page). Details a
re separated from the audit trail because they tend to be very large in size ...
if the user wishes to view a detail they click a link from the audit trail page
and load the detail separately. There is a threshold value for details too ...
if the size of a detail is larger than a specific value (see auditDetailThreshol
d) then it is place in this table, otherwise it is merged into the audit trail r
ow.
dlv_message - callback messages are stored here. All non-invocation messages
are saved here upon receipt. The delivery layer will then attempt to correlate
the message with the receiving instance. This table only stores the metadata
for a message. (eg. current state, process identifier, receive date).
dlv_message_bin - stores the payload of a callback message. The metadata of a
callback message is kept in the dlv_message table, this table only stores the
payload as a blob. This separation allows the metadata to change frequently
without being impacted by the size of the payload (which is stored here and
never modified).
dlv_subscription - stores delivery subscriptions for an instance. Whenever an i
nstance expects a message from a partner (eg. receive, onMessage) a subscription
is written out for that specific receive activity. Once a delivery message is r
eceived the delivery layer attempts to correlate the message with the intended s
ubscription.
invoke_message - stores invocation messages, messages which will result in the
creation of a instance. This table only stores the metadata for an invocation
message (eg. current state, process identifier, receive date).
invoke_message_bin - stores the payload of an invocation message. Serves the
same purpose the dlv_message_bin table does for dlv_message.
task - stores tasks created for an instance. The TaskManager process keeps its
current state in this table. Upon calling invoking the TaskManager process, a
task object is created, with a title, assignee, status, expiration date, etc...
When updates are made to the TaskManager instance via the console the
underlying task object in the db is changed.
schema_md - (just added via patch delivered to Veerle) contains metadata about
columns defined in the orabpel schema. Use case driving this feature was how
to change the size of a custom_key column for a cube_instance row? Changing
the db schema was simple but the engine code assumed a certain length and
truncated values to match that length to avoid a db error being thrown. Now, co
lumn lengths are defined in this table instead of being specified in the code.
To change a column length, change the column definition in the table, then chang
e the value specified in this table, then restart the server.
