Exposing Oracle Business Rule As Composite Service

Hi Gurus,
I have created a simple business rule and exposed it as composite service(without using any BPEL process) and deployed it into server successfully.Now i want to call that Business rule as webservice in my BPEL process, but i am facing some issues like, have to provide values of some fields like NCName,some attributes under bpelInstaces.
When i checked the Business Rule project in EMconsole,faced the same scenario.
Question: is it mandatory to use BPEL process at the time of exposing Business Rule?
Any suggestion is helpful to me..
Thanks in advance

Hi Sai,
Thanks for the rply.
Yes, The "Will be Invoked as A Web Service" property is "Checked" for Business Rule Decision Function and the service name is also available.
when i am trying to get the wsdl of the web service it shows "Error 404-Not Found". (http://<host>:<soa port>/<service name>?wsdl)
*[e.g http://<host>:<soa port>/OracleRules_WSTest_DecisionService_1?wsdl]*
But the ruleset is available in the SOA Composer.
Still facing the same problem, can't invoke the Business Rule in my composite as Web-service.

I am able to test the business service i exposed as webservice without using BPEL .
i sent some dummy values to the processId, processVersion , etc.
Only required value is payload     @ * name NCName once i provided the correct value to it i received the correct response by executing the business rules.

Expose Business Rules as composite service - ORAMED-03303 on call

Hi folks,
I'm on 11g PS2 and Jdeveloper 11.1.1.3.0 with Oracle SOA Composite Editor 11.1.1.3.0.25.57
The problem: I get ORAMED exception when I call the business rule through its automagically created web service endpoint
Among the many things which I've tried and didn't work:
- create my own web service end point for the business process
- turn on WS Addr for the web service end point
The payload and returned fault are as follows:

__Steps to reproduce:__
Create a new project, add simple business rule, tick 'expose as composite service'. A Web service endpoint is automagically created
To another project:
- add a web service reference to the business rule ws endpoint
- add an Assign and Invoke activity within BPEL towards the business rule

Hi there jeem,

I've tried specifying the name attribute (I'm using "OracleRules1_DecisionService_1" for this) against the callFunctionStateless element, but am still getting this error!
Can you yourself, jeer, or anyone else please help with this? I've turned on low level logging for the soa server, but the errors it's throwing really don't enlighten me very much at all!
Any help will be very much appreciated.

Executing a Specific RuleSet within a Dictionary on Oracle Business Rules

Good Day,
How does one explicitly execute a specific ruleset in a Oracle Business Rules dictionary?
While using the Business Rules Component inside our composite application(in JDeveloper), the only options available are:
· Service: Decision Service name
· Dictionary Name: The name of the dictionary that you want to use.
· Name: Business rules component name.
There is no section where we can select to execute only a specific rule set within a dictionary.
Is this fuctionality not supported or is there a way around this, where we could be able to execute a specific ruleset within a dictionary?
kind regards

You get to choose the option of the Rule Dictionary When dragging in BPEL, if you have already built the bpel process with the rules call, you can do the following
--> Open the .rules file in the Jdev
--> Go to the Decision Fucntions Tab
--> Select the decision function in the list( by default there would be only one)
--> click on the edit icon
--> In the bottom you would get to select the Rule Sets you want to be included in this function call(BusinessRulesSets to be included as part of the call)
--> This would cater your requirement.
Regards,
Ajay

Problem in mapping Task payload parameters to Oracle Business Rules facts

Hi all,
We are using complex types from our project XSDs inside the Human Task payload. We intend to use these Human Task payload parameters to build routing rules using the Oracle Business Rules interface. Our observation is that when the complexity of these complex types increase, the business rules editor does not show these as facts that can be used in formulating rules.
Has anybody faced such a problem before. Any help is appreciated.
We are using the following link to add routing rules –
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E25054_01/dev.1111/e10224/bp_decision.htm
Version details :
ADF Business Components     11.1.1.60.13

Oracle IDE     11.1.1.5.37.60.13
SOA Composite Editor     11.1.1.5.0.01.74
Thanks,
Yamini.

Problem solved. There was an element in the xml schema that had nillable = true. Because of this the XML Fact for that element would no longer be available in the BPEL Process. Removing the nillable and generating the XML Facts again solved the missing variable problem.

How to add Exception handling in Oracle Business rules Function

Hello,
We use to have good number of business rules in our application. So we need to have some functions in BR Composite.
Can some one let me know how to handle exception in Oracle business rules exception( Regular try catch will not compile)
is there any way please let me know.
Edited by: Network22 on Mar 25, 2013 10:21 AM

Why aren't you using por_custom_pkg.custom_validate_req_line to add extra validations.
Ensure that profile POR: Enable Requisition Line Customization is set to Yes if you were to use po_custom_pkg for Requisition line validations.
OAF calls por_custom_pkg at various points depending upon the values in Profile Options:-
POR: Enable Req Distribution Customization
POR: Enable Req Header Customization
POR: Enable Requisition Line Customization

Oracle Business Rules Rule Author

Hi,
Iam implementing Oracle Business Rules, while configuring rules with Rule Author, a problem is faced, a variable data which is set in one rule's action is not available to next rule's condition.
i.e a variable set in one rule can not be used in other rule as condition.
Is there any option to make it work,
thanks & regards.

I took the CarRental Java model and exposed two more attributes namely numPreConvictions and ableToDrive. Then I fed it a fact where the driver has 4 convictions and ableToDrive=true. When I ran it in the rule author tester it ran out of memory indicating it may have gone into a loop. I must be missing something here. The test RL function is below the rule set code.
In my other test from outside the rule author it just won't fire the second rule (no out of memory issue). For that one I have a metalink SR 6560804.992 waiting for response. I attached some code to that one too. I got that one to work via Java Beans property change support.
1. ruleset reAssertTest
2.
3. {
4.
5. rule checkConvictions
6. {
7. priority = 0;
8. if
9. (
10. (
11. fact carrental.Driver v0_Driver && (
12. (v0_Driver.numPreConvictions > 2)))
13. )
14.
15. {
16. v0_Driver.ableToDrive = false;
17. DM.println(v0_Driver.name+" has more than 2 convictions. set able to drive=false and re-assert ");
18. assert(v0_Driver);
19. }
20. } //end rule checkConvictions;
21.
22. rule cannotDrive
23. {
24. priority = 0;
25. if
26. (
27. (
28. fact carrental.Driver v0_Driver && (
29. (v0_Driver.ableToDrive == false)))
30. )

32. {
33. DM.println(v0_Driver.name+" cannot drive");
34. }
35. } //end rule cannotDrive;
36. }// end ruleset reAssertTest
-- reAssertTest ---
java.text.SimpleDateFormat sdf = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat( "MM/dd/yyyy" );
assert (new carrental.Driver( "d111", "Dave", 50, "sports", "full",

Oracle Business Rule interoperability

Hello,
I'm evaluating Oracle Business Rule for a project that is using Bea Weblogic products (WLS 9.2, Aqualogic, etc.). I understand that the new Oracle Soa suite is based on either Weblogic 10 or Websphere. I would like to know if it is possible to create and deploy rules using OBR in other J2EE containers (such as Weblogic Server 9.2). In other words, does the OBR runtime have any dependency with the new Soa Suite?
Thanks
Luciano

Business Rules 11g hasn't been certified with Websphere or JBoss yet. Also the latest version of business rules (recommended as it has Composer) 11.1.1.2 is only certified with WLS 10.3.2. The 10g version of business rules is certified with WLS 9.2 but not recommended as 11g provides much more functionality.
This does not mean you cant take advantage of 11g in your environment. Oracle Business Rules can be implemented as standalone. It is licensed under WebLogic Suite, therefore you don't need to purchase SOA Suite.
You will need to install WLS 10.3.2 and install SOA Suite to get the Business Rules, if you are not licensed for SOA Suite it is recommended to switch off the applications your not entitled to. Your Aqualogic can call Business Rules via web services.
cheers
James

OPA & Oracle Business Rules

Can any one provide me the basic difference between OPA & Oracle Business Rules
The difference between "OPA & Oracle Business Rules" link or document will help me a lot.

OBR is a tool that is part of Oracle Fusion Middleware.

Oracle Business Rules decision tables - export

This is a beginner's question.. Suppose that you want to use an Oracle Business Rules (OBR) decision table, for example to check company’s eligibility for financing based on their country and business type (PRIVATE or PUBLIC). You would define a corresponding decision table in JDeveloper with true/false assignments in the Actions. Is it possible to export this decision table somehow? Ideally we would want to have a web service returning the decision table data as XML, which would then be used to generate PDF or a dynamic webpage etc. Then we would have OBR as the only point of data entry.

Oracle Rules Manager vs Oracle Business Rules

Hi
Can someone explain the difference between Oracle Rules Manager and Oracle Business Rules.
Is Oracle Promoting both the products?
What I understand is that Oracle Rules Manager comes a part of the Oracle Database 10g R2 (and 11g) and Oracle Business Rules is a part of the SOA suite.
Is there any difference in the positioning of both these products?
Our client is evaluating various Rules engines in the market and we want to make sure that we choose the correct product.
Thanks, Srini

He solves the same problem with rules and without. My question was what would be better? Why would you chose one over the other. I prefer rules that is easy to state, easy to read, and easy to implement. Clear text rules in Prolog being a firm favourite. :-)
Using a rules engine, with a fairly complex API, in order to define rules? I would want very sound and very robust justification for that.
Taking this EMP table example. If there is a single AddEmp() PL/SQL procedure interface for adding employees, it is simple matter to see what it does, how it does that, and test and debug that. The only knowledge needed is the ability to read and understand the source code. The same cannot be said of rules engines.
As for the issue of updating AddEmp() with new rules. Edition redefinition takes care of versioning database objects. And in a far more controlled fashion than dealing with a rules engine that is dynamically update now! while the database is in use - and you have no real idea or real control over when exactly now! was.
