Deploying a custom reporting provider in Oracle Service Bus

Hi All,
I am new to OSB. From the reporting documentation I understand that we can register a custom reporting provider which will be called by the Report actions in the service bus. I have written a reporting handler which implements "com.bea.wli.reporting.ReportingDataHandler" and a listener class which extends "weblogic.application.ApplicationLifecycleListener" class. In the listener class I register my report handler class with the ReportingDataManager.
I understand that the listener class has to packaged and deployed in the WLS. Can someone help me explaining how this should be done.
I tried deploying it as a jar but my tests do not reveal that the Report action in OSB did call my report handler. I have followed the instructions as given in http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs90/programming/lifecycle.html yet I am not successful. I have also disabled the default JMS reporting provider.
What needs to be done after deploying the listener? How does the OSB make use of the new listener?
Any pointers in right direction will help me a lot.
Thanks,
Abarajithan.

What needs to be done after deploying the listener? How does the OSB make use of the new listener?Did you enable reporting in your application/OSB? operational settings for the proxy contains check box (in sbconsole) Reports which should be enabled
and also we have to put reporting action in our pipeline. Is the reporting provider not receiving events/reports even after this ?
thanks

ClassNotFoundException with Custom OWSM Policy in Oracle Service Bus

Hi All,
I have a situation where I have created a custom web service manager policy. When I attach this policy to an Oracle Service Bus Proxy Service and invoke the service I get a ClassNotFoundError

The jar file is in the user_projects/domains/mydomain/lib directory.
Attaching the policy to BPEL services has no issue and the policy is invoked successfully.
I am unable to determine why the OSB would behave differently in this regard, or what I need to configure differently in order to have it found by the class loaders for the OSB.
Any help or suggestions appreciated.
I am using 11.1.1.4.0
The jar file has the necessary policy_config.xml file and the META-INF/mylabel/mypolicy.xml files in situ. As I said, it is working in the soa_server but not the OSB.

Have you restarted servers after putting jar in $Domain_Home/lib directory? Also try after explicitly adding this jar in classpath by editing server startup script (startManagedWeblogic.cmd or .sh) or in domain env setting script (setDonainEnv.cmd or .sh) and restarting the servers.

OSB Custom Report Provider Sample - in Eclilpse

I am writing a custom report provider in OSB based on the example here: http://ias.us.oracle.com/portal/page?_pageid=33,2462026&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL
I downloaded that and compiled it fine using ant.
Now I am trying to bring the code into Eclipse and modify the custom report provider for my needs.
I can't jar files to add to my project to resolve the following imports:
import org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlOptions;
import org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlObject;
import org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlTokenSource;
import com.bea.wli.reporting.ReportingDataHandler;
import com.bea.wli.reporting.MessagecontextDocument;
I looked at the build.xml and this is what it has in the compile target:
<target name="compile">
<echo message=">>>>>> compile >>>>>>"/>
<echo message="debug = ${debug}, optimize = ${optimize}, deprecation = ${deprecation}"/>
     <javac srcdir="${custom.report.provider.src.dir}"
destdir="${build.custom.report.provider.dir.classes}"
          classpath="${sb.lib.common.dir}/reporting-api.jar
          :${sb.lib.dir}/alertfwk.jar"
deprecation="${deprecation}"
debug="${debug}"
optimize="${optimize}"
source="1.5"/>
<copy file="${custom.report.provider.dir}/custom_provider.properties"
          todir="${build.custom.report.provider.dir.classes}/com/bea/alsb/fileprovider"
overwrite="true"/>
<echo message=">>>>>> Done compile >>>>>>"/>
</target>
I think that means it's using these:
classpath="${sb.lib.common.dir}/reporting-api.jar
          :${sb.lib.dir}/alertfwk.jar"
but I cannot find those in my OSB directories.
I'm sure this is something simple, but I'm a little confused right now as to how the ant build works when I can't find these jars. Glad it does but I was hoping to work on this and compile my version in eclipse.
any advice or insight is appreciated.

Thanks. It resolved the com.bea.wli.reporting.* imports fine once I added the alsb.jar.
I had to add the weblogic jar from my D:\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\server\lib for it to resolve the imports for XmlBeans and the imports in the ApplicationListener.java file.
Now everything compiles fine in Eclipse.

Oracle Service Bus configuration project deployment problem

I cannot deploy the "OSB30 Book Conf" configuration project to the server. "The specified domain path is not a valid Oracle Service Bus domain" error appears. Where is the domain path specified? Where can I get know which paths are valid Oracle Service Bus domains?
I am using OSB 10.3.1, WebLogic server 10.3, Oracle Workshop for WebLogic 10.3 running on RHEL4.
Thank you.

Your first message about "THE SPECIFIED DOMAIN PATH IS NOT A VALID ORACLE SERVICE BUS DOMAIN" is the most annoyingly stupid message and wasted days of my time when I was trying to script the creation of an OSB domain.
The way Workshop decides that a domain is a valid OSB domain or not is by checking the config.xml for the prescense of "lib/kernel.ear" - if that's not EXACTLY like that, that it decides its not a valid domain.
If you look in the config.xml, you must have an entry like
<app-deployment>
<name>XBus Kernel</name>
<target>AdminServer</target>
<module-type>ear</module-type>
<source-path>C:\osb1031\osb_10.3/lib/kernelEar</source-path>
and not something like this
<app-deployment>
<name>XBus Kernel</name>
<target>AdminServer</target>
<module-type>ear</module-type>
<source-path>c:\domains\user_projects\applications\MyESB11g/kernelEar</source-path>
It's all to do with the path you choose for the applications when creating the domain and there's a bug raised for it. Sounds like you're working anyway.

Error using the test console of the Oracle Service Bus 11gR1

Hi I am facing a an issue while using the test console of the Oracle Service Bus 11gR1 .
Every time I try to execute a business service or a proxy service I end up getting the following message.
Error Accessing Test Configuration
*"Test Console" service is not running. Contact administrator to start this service.*
In fact to add to my frustration I am unable to execute any of my proxy services from outside clients like SOAPUI as well.
Is anyone else facing this too ??
Also every time the server starts I can see some diagnostic error messages on my Eclipse console.
*[ERROR] AdapterManager - ServletContainerAdapter manager not initialized correctly.*
Attached the whole log at the end below.
To provide an update on my trouble shooting
1. ) I tried to give the IntegrationAdmin and IntegrationDeployer roles to my admin user. in fact i also tried to give it all the possible privileges.
Result: Still the same error message.
Error Accessing Test Configuration
"Test Console" service is not running. Contact administrator to start this service.

This is really putting me off and its really disappointing to see all these issues in this new release.
How can oracle let a release slip in with such a Major Issue.
Please can any one help or provide a work around atleast.
Regards
Nitin

I guess till version 10gr3.1 you only needed to start one server and it allowed to access both admin and service bus console.Yes, in 11g as well you may access the admin and OSB console by just starting the admin server but in 11g OSB configuration gets deployed on OSB server (managed server) and test service also runs over this server.
Are you saying there is some other server I need to start just for running the test console ????Yes. Managed server osb_server1 needs to be started for deploying, testing and accessing OSB resources.
As If the OSB server was not running how can I check my published services, modify them and do all the bits and pieces after opening the open the service bus console but not just test them???You can modify and save your configuration without staring OSB server but if you will check in change centre then all the changes being done without starting OSB server will remain in partially activated state.
I have been using the service bus for 3 years and I have never faced any such issue.With each new release you may get new features and with a major release like 11g, architecture and functionality may change.
If it all there is some other server I need to start then whats the process to do so ??Open command prompt. Navigate to $Domain_Home/bin and run command
startManagedWeblogic.cmd <nameOfManagedServer>
for eg. -
D:\OFMW11g\mw\user_projects\domains\ofmw_domain\bin>startManagedWebLogic.cmd osb_server1
Once this server is up and running, try using test console.

Enterprise Business Services and Oracle Service Bus

Hi,
We are using AIA and we have developed a number of EBS’. These are composite applications containing a mediator and are deployed to the SOA Server.
Am I right in saying that another option is to use the Oracle Service Bus and replace the composite application ESB’s with ESB’s in the Oracle Service Bus?
Robert

Gerhard,
I was thinking the benefits would be:
-     End point Virtualisation – Single end point for services we can configure.
-     Move the job of wiring the integrations from Development to Admin
-     Single point of monitoring for SLA’s and QOS
-     Improve visibility of ESB’s by providing a single list. (At the moment they are amongst many services in enterprise manager.)
At the moment we have 3 SOA servers connected to 6 systems. (Dev, Test and Prod) I was imagining it might be possible to have a single OSB with Service routing controlled by policies. This way we would not need three OSB setup’s.
I am also charged with planning for the development of further services and we already have a long list of composites in enterprise manager. I am imagining that this will quickly become unmanageable. With OSB we could hide the downstream services and only show the EBS’.
I also imagined that when we introduced a 11.1.1.6 SOA server we could simply adjust the routing rules at the OSB to set up a dev environment. Test out the new services work, then make similar adjustments on a per EBS basis until we have migrated completely to 11.1.1.6.
I agree that there are a lot of trade off’s and I do not really have the experience to weigh up the balance between the two. Yesterday I was asked to come up with methods of monitoring performance of the current integration as well as future integrations and the OSB data sheet talks a little bit about this which is why I am thinking more about it; Although have only got as far as looking at the OSB data sheet and some manuals.
I guess another option would be to go with some EBS’s as mediators and others on OSB but I think using a consistent method for EBS’s would be preferable.
Also there is the question do we have one OSB for all systems or separate OSB’s for Dev, Test and Prod.

Oracle Service Bus Proxy Testing with Attached Policy

Hello,
When I'm testing a Proxy through the test console (lauch by clicking the bug) I'm seeing Override Values in the Security section. I've created four custom policies and attached two of them to the proxy. One that processes the request and the other the processes the response. The other two policies are attached to a composite on an interface to an external service. Those policies process the request/response respectively. When I bring up the test console for the OSB Proxy, I'm seeing the two policies that are attached to the composite in the "Security" section as "Override Values". If I don't delete the policies, they are executed. Which causes an error. So I have to delete them to get a clean run. I'm not sure why they are showing up in the "Override Values". It's definitely annoying that I have to delete them each time before executing the test. Any ideas on what's going on?
Thanks!
Steve

Hi Wai,
I think it is not supported with OSB. The doc says -
46.15 Is single sign-on supported in Oracle Service Bus?
Strictly speaking single sign-on (SSO) is not applicable to Oracle Service Bus messaging scenarios for several reasons. First, Oracle Service Bus is stateless; there is no notion of a session or conversation among multiple parties. Second, Oracle Service Bus clients are typically other enterprise software applications, not users behind a Web browser. Therefore, it is acceptable to require that these clients send credentials such as username and password on every request, provided that the communication is secured by means such as SSL or WS-Security. However, SSO between the Oracle Service Bus Console and the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console is supported. For more information, see "Single Sign-On" in "Security Fundamentals" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Understanding Security for Oracle WebLogic Server.http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/E15866_01/security_faq.htm#i1058723

Oracle Service Bus: Monitoring/Tracking Consumer Services?

Hi,
since we have a Oracle Service Bus and a Oracle Service Registry, is there any standard solution for tracking which consumer services/applications are accessing which provider services? What we need is monitoring the applications (consumer) which are accessing an specific service (provider) registered in the OSB. Is it possible to have this information as monitoring/statistical data in the Oracle Service Bus console? if not, any suggestion to implement such behaviour ?
Thank you in advance,
Antonio.

I would like to have (don't know where) a list with all my consumer services (outside OSB) and so map them with the accessed proxy services (providers on OSB). The aim for this functionality is being able to monitor which consumer services from outside the OSB (then I need a place where these services can be identified and listed) are accessing specific proxy services published as providers on the OSB. Is like "well, I have my proxies published on the OSB, but I need to know WHO (consumers outside the OSB) is accessing to them?". I don't know if such functionality is provided by the Oracle Service Registry or the Service Bus, or it's just a custom implementation without any Oracle product.
Thank you for your help Manoj!
Antonio.

Oracle Service Bus (OSB), Eclipse --- and statement of direction

Can somebody please explain what this means in: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/integration/service-bus/docs/Oracle-Service-Bus-SOD.pdf
+...The web-based console was complemented in the 3.0 release with full IDE support in Eclipse. The Eclipse capabilities will be ported to Oracle JDeveloper to provide a one-stop IDE for all SOA design needs. Until that port is complete, customers will still be able to use the Eclipse environment as IDE (in addition to the web-based console)...+
More specifically: what will happen to the Eclipse OSB plugin/workshop once the JDeveloper port is complete?
A) will it cease to exist and/or be terminated?
B) will it remain as is, without keeping the functionality in synch with new stuff in JDev?
C) will it continue to evolve side-by-side with JDev?
Thx,
-J.

I think it is clear that Oracle will remain commited to Eclipse in terms of deploying java applications to WebLogic, they will provide some plugins for some time to come. You will however see oracle specific products, such as OSB, Portal, etc removed from Eclipse and ported to JDev. The reason for this is that Oracle can release new releases within their timeframe. If Oracle rely on Eclipse to deliver some functionality before they can release new products then they will be doing their customers a disservice.
This statement in the SOD clearly states that JDev is the strategic platform and the Eclipse IP will be ported to JDev in the future:
Design-Time Environment
JDeveloper is the IDE of choice for SOA development at Oracle. AquaLogic Service Bus users have traditionally been using the web-based console to design, manage and monitor ESB flows. The web console is a key differentiator for ALSB (now Oracle Service Bus) and will therefore remain a primary design
environment moving forward.
The web-based console was complemented in the 3.0 release with full IDE support in Eclipse. The Eclipse capabilities will be ported to Oracle JDeveloper to provide a
one-stop IDE for all SOA design needs. Until that port is complete, customers will still be able to use the Eclipse environment as IDE (in addition to the web-based
console).

Oracle OSB 11G. Unable to find Oracle Service Bus Configuration Page.

Hi All,
Sorry for the apparent silly question but I am studying and learning the product.
I have the OSB 11G installed and running with a proxy service working and routing requests. The Oracle ESB documentation http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e15866/ui_ref.htm#i1327746 at chapter 4.4.2 New Oracle Service Bus Configuration Project Wizard
Use this wizard to create an Oracle Service Bus configuration project. For configuration options, see Section 4.4.3, "Oracle Service Bus Configuration Page."
4.4.3 Oracle Service Bus Configuration Page.
I don't see the configuration page in anywhere in the left pane of the console. Am I missing something? The project creation works fine but I just don't see the configuration Wizard.
Thanks.
Regards
Salvatore Ilardo

The link which you are referring is for user interface objects in the Oracle Service Bus plug-ins and OSB plug-ins are used with OEPE (Oracle Enterprise Pack for Ecplise) for OSB development. OEPE is the only supported IDE for OSB development as of now.
Remember, at a time, one and only one Oracle Service Bus Configuration project can be deployed in a OSB domain which may contain desired number of Oracle Service Bus Projects and that's why there is no provision of creating Oracle Service Bus Configuration Project in sbconsole GUI. In IDE, you may create many Oracle Service Bus Configuration Project and that's why it has a Oracle Service Bus Configuration Project Wizard.

Need to Import an application built using Oracle Service Bus on Oracle Public Cloud

I have built an application using Oracle Service Bus (OSB) eclipsed IDE which transfers file from server1 to server2, reads the transferred file, transforms it into a payload and calls a webservice. I have tested this application locally by installing Oracle Service Bus on one on my servers.
I have java as a service account on Oracle Public Cloud. I would like to import the above application onto Oracle Public Cloud. I am not sure if the Weblogic domain on Oracle Public Cloud has enabled OSB or not.
Let me know if someone can help me.

Hello,
Oracle Service Bus is currently not supported in Oracle Java Cloud Service.
Oracle Java Cloud Service supports deployment of JavaEE and ADF applications.

Issue with Oracle service bus installation on Windows 7 64 bit machine

Hi,
I am trying to install Oracle service bus 11.1.1.4 in Windows 7 64 bit machine for which i have downloaded the generic installers of both weblogic server and Oracle service bus. As per the instructions -
1. Install JDK 1.6
2. Install Weblogic server
3.Install Eclipse separately (In my case Galileo 11.1.1.5 64 bit) - Just unzip the contents in the home directory where weblogic server is installed
4. Install OSB
I have installed all the above 1,2,3 in the same folder as per the instructions. But when i try to install OSB which asks for eclipse home location. But when i give the eclipse home location, it gives an error ""Home location is invalid" and i am unable to proceed with the installation.
I have tried this with OSB 11.1.1.5 as well and have the same issue.
Does anyone has any links which provides the steps to install OSB in Windows 7 64 bit machines or if someone can help me to resolve the above issue ?
I really appreciate any information on this as it is urgent.
Thanks

I have installed OEPE 11.1.1.6.1 now in the same middleware home as weblogic server but when i try to install OSB 11.1.1.4 in the same middleware home, it asks for OEPE home location. Even though i provide the OEPE home location , it displays as "invalid oepe home location".
I have been struggling to get this sorted out so that i can carry out IDE development in OSB 11.1.1.4
Below are the paths where sfotware are installed -
JDK - C:\Oracle\Middleware\Java\jdk1.6.0_21
Weblogic server - C:\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3
OEPE - C:\Oracle\Middleware\oepe-galileo-all-in-one-11.1.1.6.0.201007221355-win32-x86_64
Thanks

Oracle Service Bus Installation

Greetings.
We are migrating an Oracle Service Bus infrastructure to a new Hardware Infrastructure in a High Availability environment with two nodes, in the current environment there is one node.
There isn't a hardware load balancer in the new infrastructure, I am thinking in use Oracle WebCache 11g in order to use it as load balancer. But I have some concerns because there isn't any document regarded to use WebCache in front to Oracle Service Bus.
What is the best deployment recomendation to install Oracle Service Bus in a High Availability envirnonment without using a Hardware Load Balancer?
The current Oracle Service Bus projects are writing some messages in some jms queues that uses a FileStore as persitent store. Is there any recommendation to set the JMS Queues in a High Availability environment?
Thanks in advance!

How do I install Oracle Service Bus?

Much thanks to anyone who can help! I have been a developer for 20 years and I have never had so much trouble with run a setup program.
I am trying to install Oracle Service Bus 11g on a Windows 7 machine. I have successfully installed WebLogic 10.3. The Oracle Service Bus installation program wants me to enter the paths for Oracle Middleware Home, Oracle Home Directory, Weblogic Server Location and OEPE Location. No matter what I enter for these I am told they are incorrect. For example:
Specified Weblogic home location is not a valid location.
Let's concentrate on just the Weblogic home location. I have tried every directory and sub-directory where Weblogic has been installed. No matter what path I enter, I get the error message above.
Setup defaults this path location to C:\bea_default\wlserver_10.3 so I tried copying everything to this path. Still I am told the location is not a valid location. How does anyone ever get this to work? What am I doing wrong?

Hi.
I have exactly the same problem than 786801. In the "Specify Installation Location" screen of the Oracle Service Bus installation process, after providing the correct paths, the message "INST-07248: Specified Weblogic home location is not a valid location" appears.
WebLogic Server 10.3.3 is installed in /opt/oracle/middleware
The folder wlserver_10.3 exists under that path, so I'm entering /opt/oracle/middleware/wlserver_10.3 as WebLogic Server Location.
In addition to the WebLogic Server, I have installed SOA Suite 11g without problems. The database schemas for that products have been created with the Repository Creation Utility.
I don't know what to do. Any help would be so much appreciated.
Here are some lines of the installation log, where the problem appears:

What are the differences between Oracle Service Bus 10g and WLI 10g?

Hi,
To me both Oracle Service Bus 10g R3 and Weblogic Integration 10g seem to offer the same functionalities for implementing an enterprise middleware.
I would be grateful if someone could:
1. provide me with the two products' differences.
2. describe what their roadmap is?
3. what are their positioning in the Oracle product catalog? Are they both members of Oracle SOA Suite? Fussion Middleware?
Thanks a lot,
Best regards,
Babis.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply,
Eduardo: the answer to your questions are that all the flows will be short-lived but if we can make long-lived flows then we might consider developing them. We would need to persist the state of the flow somehow.
I understand that some of our requirements would be better accomodated by WLI or bpel but we don't have an option but only to use OSB.
So, do you think we could overcome the stateless nature of OSB by:
1. writing to appropriate tables and reading from there and calling plsql procedures from the flows
2. using JMS queues.
In detalis:
1. Regarding the writing/reading from Databases (in our case it would be oracle 10g R2 - probably RAC), is there something like a Database control in WLI, which we could use in OSB? What i have seen are using xquery execute-sql function or a JCA DB adapter but both of them seem to me not very easy to use. Is there another option?
2. Regarding the JMS, in case that i want:
a service that writes to a JMS queue what are the servicetype and transport that i should use?
a service that reads from a JMS queues what are the service type and transport that we should used?
Any information that you may share with me in the design and implementation of the above would be great.
Thanks a lot.
