BPM 10.3 WebService and SSO

Hi,
I exposed a Process as simple WebService, (e.g.
http://localhost:7001/albpmServices/bpmengine/ws/ProcessTestServiceListener?wsdl=true), and works fine.
My problem is, in our enviroment we use a custom Single Sign On class to log into workspace and
PAPI. As I discovered, the application that expose webservices derivated from process is the engine app, not PAPI or other application.
Is there a way to configure a custom SSO class in engine?
Or use another kind of authentication in exposed webservices process?

Hi Fernando,
Thank you very much for the tip. It worked indeed. Although it worked only in a seperate process that had also a seperate global interactive process creation activity in it and calls my main process. It did not work with my main project.
Although it is actually another question, but just out of curiosity: does a process indeed need a process creation activity to be able to be started using a WebService?
Regards,
Martien

BPM 11g: JAVA API and Webservice API

Who knows BPM 11g: JAVA API and Webservice API?
Customer want to call BPM 11g between Heterogeneous systems, such .net framework. One way is use webservice API, I think, but where can find it? thank you

When you create a BPM application in 11g, you're actually creating a SOA composite application with a BPMN component in the composite. From within the BPMN editor, you can specify the interface (parameters) of each start node in the process. If you select a start node, look at the implementation tab, you'll see a properties group that lets you define the interface one property at a time, or by selecting an interface from the catalog.
By defining these properties you're also defining the shape of the Web Service interface that will automatically be created in the composite. If you switch to the composite view, you'll see your BPMN process with a wire to it from a Web Service that's generated from the interface defined in the BPMN editor. The naming convention is the BPMN process name with ".service" appended. When you deploy the BPMN process, the web service will also be deployed, since it's also part of the composite. From Enterprise Manager (EM) you can test the service and get the WSDL, which could be used by other applications (e.g. .NET) to start and interact with a process instance.
This is one of the advantages of the 11g architecture. The composite exposes services to consumers/clients. The implementation could have been BPEL, BPMN, a Mediator, Java/EJBs, or any combination working together. To the consumer, it's just a web service.
In case your next question was about security ... you won't see properties about security in the BPMN editor. You use Web Service Manager to apply security or other constraints to the web service endpoint.

What's up with Webservices and BPM integration?

According to http://e-docs.bea.com/wli/docs70/design/intarch.htm, table
3-1, webservices are a key component of the Integration architecture,
which:
"Provides sample code to support WebServices integration using
WebServices technologies
such as UDDI, WebServices Description Language (WSDL), and Simple Object
Access
Protocol (SOAP). WebLogic Integration provides the ability to invoke a
WebService
from a BPM workflow, enable a BPM workflow as a WebService, and to
enable the
Application View as a WebService. For an introduction to WebLogic
WebServices,
see the WebServices and XML Tech Track in the BEA dev2dev Online at the
following
URL:
http://dev2dev.bea.com/index.jsp"
The only thing which comes close to this description is the BPM Plugin
for webservices, which is alpha code for WLI 2.1. To deploy this on 7, I
have only seen a message here describing loosely what to do.
So is this how we are expected to use webservices together with
Integration? With alpha code that requires tweaking to work with the
current version? Or am I missing something vital? The quote from the
docs suggest "sample code", however the webservices plugin is not
provided in source, so I don't see how it qualifies as sample code?
Somehow I also don't quite understand how "sample code" can be construed
as a "key component".
So what's up with webservices and Integration?
-Lasse
(only speaking for myself in news!)

Your comment about the lacking of web services in WLI is correct
and a fundamental issue I have signalled to BEA already many
months ago. I even followed the BPM course to make sure I did
not miss an important point. The BPM course did not deal with
webservices because it is not available. But the fundamental remark goes further
because webservices also have a dynamic
interface WSCI to behave within a choreography of webservices
within a business process. BPM is still mainly workflow based
and intracompany. This is not what is expected as business
processes which are collaborative and a new paradigm alternative for applications
conform BPML-WSCI or BPEL4WS-ws transaction.
I still wait from BEA a confirmation that webservices and collaborative business
processes according to (at least) one of
the above standards will be included within the next version of weblogic enterprise
platform due end of March 2002.
Kind regards,

Webservice and BPM; connection AFW failed

I have created the following integration process:
1. Asynchronous receive step of a xml file;
2. Synchronous send step to invoke webservice;
3. Asynchronous send step of the response file.
In this process XI will read a xml file from a directory on the server, convert this file to a SOAP request, call the webservice and convert the SOAP response to a xml file. This file is then sent to the same server directory.
When I look in SXMB_MONI the whole process is set to ok. The response of the webservice is in the payload of the XI response message. (This is the message from my integration process to the inbound message interface.).
But the response file never reached its destination.
When I look at the file adapter monitor it reports: "Up and running - no message processing until now".
And when I look at the message monitoring, there are the following messages:

IDoc to webservice and get the response back into another IDoc.

Hi guys
We have a scenario where we need to send an IDoc to webservice and get the response back into another IDoc.
Questions:
1. Is this scenario possible without a BPM? or do we need to use BPM (Sync-Async bridge).
2. Is there a Async to Sync bridge in BPM?
3. How do I use this bridge in my scenario and customize it?
4. If not possible, provide me the related docs using BPM for the same scenario.
Appreciate your quick response

I just spoke to the Oracle App server admins, the two servers in question are clustered.
So my question changes slightly to:
What is the best way to install and configure a webgate for clustered Oracle App servers with mulitple virtual hosts, that are residing behind a load balancer (Traffic Manager)?

Authentication to XML DB via WebDAV and SSO

Hi,
Is there any way to be authentified by XML DB via WebDAV and SSO ?
If the access to our infrastructure of database servers is controled by SSO, once I'm authentified by OID (SSO), is it possible to pass that authentification to XML DB through standard port 8080 ?
Thank you for your help

This is planned for a future (not 10g) release

BPM for error handling and acknowledgements

Hi,
Can any one tell me how to handle BPM for error handling and acknowledgements in one scenario.
Please send me the link if you have other wise give me the solution on the same.
Thanks,
Nagesh

Hi !
Just check out these links This might help you.
Usually Application Level Acknowledgement is considered during Sync communication. If you are using RFC, you can make use of Sync communication. So you can handle it without bpm, provided your both sender and receiver are sync interfaces.
To know about Ack-
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/f4/8620c6b58c422c960c53f3ed71b432/content.htm
you can not dirrectly access the content of the ACK, however the BPM shows different behaviours based on the ACK status. E.g. if the ACK contains a success message the BPM will continue in its normal process, if the ACK contains a permanent error, it will either stop or go through an exception branch (provided such a branch has been defined). Have a look at the documentation: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/43/65ce41ae343e2be10000000a1553f6/content.htm It doesnt"t state the above mentioned behaviour in detail but says that you need to define an exception branch.
The trickiest part is always to find out, when you will get a transient vs. as permanent error ack. If you are using ACKs with Proxies refer also to this link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/29/345d3b7c32a527e10000000a114084/content.htm and this http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/f4/8620c6b58c422c960c53f3ed71b432/content.htm

Can I supress BPM for Asyn outbound and syn inbound proxy interface

Hi all,
Is there any other alternate to remove the BPM at asyn outbound and syn inbound proxy interface. Reason because I can create another outbound proxy interface at the receiver. But at receiver side we already invested huge code to develop the sync server proxy. So the intension is, with out disturbing the code Can I make the message flow with out BPM?
Because the reason of removing BPM is for a simple interface like this I don't want to use BPM. souce is JDBC and receiver is ECC 6.0. I know with out BPM it can not be achieved but in PI 7.1 EHP 1 by any chance can we do?
I mean during response mapping from server proxy shall we use look up function to achieve?

This bean I have to use at sender channel right?
Yes
I mean is it is limited to JMS adapter?
No
You can find more information in the Wiki which deals with FILE to RFC synchronous...using the above Module

BPM Collect Message dependent AND time dependent

Hi
I have a IDOC to file scenario where I have to collect all the IDOC until I receive a stop IDOC.
Once the End collect IDOC is received I have to do a n:1 transformation and write the file to the FTP.
The problem is, at times the IDOC which is suppose to end the collect loop gets stuck in ECC R3 system.
So Im wondering If I can do something like say, we have two options inside BPM both time dependent and message dependent.
In this case which ever comes first (the Stop/END IDOC or the Time say 3 mins) will end the collect process.
Can anyone pls suggest will it work and if so what are the additional steps I have to introduce in the BPM.
Pls advice.
Right Now these are the steps in the BPM Collect Message dependent.
1. Block (I have used correlation)
2. Fork inside the block
3. Fork branch one has a look with end condition as 1=1; then a receive step and a container operation inside the loop.
4. Fork branch two receives the end collect idoc.
5. Transform step outside the block.
6. Send step.
Thanks
Prasanna

Hi Abhishek/ Raj
Thanks!!
I have done the changes let me confirm after testing it once. In the mean time I have one more question regarding the same BPM, as I have mentioned in the first post, the BPM contains the 6 steps mentioned but the the 6th step is inside another block (Block2).
The steps 1 to 4 are inside Block1.
The step 5 ie the transformation step (n:1) is in between the Blocks ie not inside any block (hope im not confusing).
The second block is for sending the file to the FTP and based on the acknowledgement (transport level) I have to send an email.
So Block2 already contains a deadline branch, it is to wait for the positive acknowledgement for say 3 mins and send the error email if incase we dont get positive ack within the time limit.
My doubt is,
1. Is it the only way (having two block and two wait steps) to achieve this.
(one block for collecting and one block for ack)
2. Is there any way I can have a single Block in the BPM insted of two. If so what are the steps.
Having single block, Will improve anything??
Thanks
Prasanna

Copy BPM to new SC and transport

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to copy existing NW-BPM process to new software component version and have to transport to higher environments.
And also suggest me to create directly on NWDI or create locally and deploy.
Could you please guide me on this requirement.
Regards,
SP.

H Siddant,
Thanks for the Quick reply.
I am proceeding as per your suggestion.
As per your comments,
I have downloaded the total BPM project to local file.
While creating a new DC, it is asking for the existing SC to refer and I can only see my SC where all BPMs present.
Issue here is to avoid version log for BPMs, we want to create a new SC and add my existing bpm project to that.(we have to do some changes to BPM after we add that to new SC).
We thought to add bpm to new SC and do transport seperatley for that SC.
And when I try to create a new product itself to have new SC, and when I select my Development Configuration as my PI server, it is saying the error as:
Selected Development Configuration does not contain an empty and writable product description SC
Could you please put some light on this issue.
And please also share some info on BPM transportation.
and what exactly we transport is it SC ? DC ? or total product ???
Regards,
SP

BPM, Solution Manager, XI and Workflow

Webservice and UI codes in one application

Hi,
We have two applications, one for the UI and one for web services. Both of them have Model project. Hence, we are thinking of merging then into one application which contains three projects: UI, Web services and Model so that both UI and Web services share the same Model project, no redundant codes. Just wondering is that a good design, will there be any issues? So can it be generated two deployment EARs files within one application?
Please advise.
Thanks
-Mina

you can have your approach itself.. but.. both webservice and the UI project will be have a dependency on the model project.. but you cannot reuse the model project any where else..
the suggestion given by shay, helps you to use the model library in both UI and webservice.. and can also extend to any other project which needs to access the model project..
in this case you are refering only the libraries of model project.. so no direct depenedency..
