In many of my engagements I get asked repeatedly about the states of the composites in 11g and how to decipher them, especially when we are troubleshooting issues around purging. I have compiled a list of all the states from the COMPOSITE_INSTANCE, CUBE_INSTANCE, and DLV_MESSAGE tables. These are the primary tables that are used when using BPEL composites and how they are used with the ECID.

Since now in 11g the Invoke_Messages table is not there so to distinguish between a new message (Invoke) and callback (DLV) and there is DLV_TYPE column that defines the type of message:
DLV_TYPE States

1
Invoke Message

MEDIATOR_INSTANCE
STATE
Description
0
No faults but there still might be running instances
1
At least one case is aborted by user
2
At least one case is faulted (non-recoverable)
3
At least one case is faulted and one case is aborted
4
At least one case is in recovery required state
5
At least one case is in recovery required state and at least one is aborted
6
At least one case is in recovery required state and at least one is faulted
7
At least one case is in recovery required state, one faulted and one aborted
>=8 and < 16
Running
>= 16
Stale
In my next blog posting I will walk through the lifecycle of a BPEL process using the above states for the following use cases:
- New BPEL process - initial Receive activity
- Callback BPEL process - mid-level Receive activity
As always comments and questions welcome!
