How does B2B in SOA SUite 11g identify sender/receiver of inbound document?

Hi All,
I am checking basic B2B features - custom document protocol. I have defined docuement definition, trading partner, agreement, channels as per guide. When I copy (manually) a sample xml payload (complaint to definition xsd and identification expression), it gives error as the sender could not be identified (receiver is taken as the host as I am putting the file over host's listening channel).
So question is - how does B2B identify sender, receiver and match the incoming message payload to identify the agreement?
Thanks in advance.
regards, sibendu

Hi Sibendu,
First of all, let me direct you to the right forum, Oracle Integration B2B forum - Integration - B2B
Now coming to your question,
how does B2B identify sender, receiver and match the incoming message payload to identify the agreement?For each and every document, exchange and transport protocol there are certain fields (generally message headers) on the basis of which B2B identifies the sender and receiver. As far as identifying the incoming message payload is concerned, in each and every document definition we define some UNIQUE selection criteria to identify a document. For XML documents, it is the X-Path of some node(and/or it's value) and for non-xml documents, it is the start and end position of some element (and/or it's value) in the document.
You may get faster and better answer in Oracle B2B forum, for the questions related to Oracle B2B (10g/11g).

Does license for SOA Suite 11g include application server

I am looking through the SOA 11g release information and it does not appear to include a license for the WebLogic server. Can anyone confirm that I need to license the appropriate WebLogic 11g base to run SOA Suite 11g on separately. I wish I could find a definitive statement about this on the Oracle web site or in documentation.

Good point. There used to be some (licensing) clarity in the sense that Oracle's middleware applications (i.e. things higher in the middleware food chain) required the underlying Oracle stack and thus the embedded license scenario.
Perhaps (and somewhat ironically) the situation gets more cloudy now that OFM is really and truly "hot pluggable" (i.e. in the sense you can run on other vendor or OSS containers for instance).
Architecturally, I respect Oracle's Hot Pluggable stance and think it's the right thing to do, but practically-speaking I always advise use of Oracle's container etc. because that is naturally where the development and most intense QA and support occurs. This is not to say that Oracle doesn't support other hosting options well, only that the laws of physics (still) apply.

SOA Suite 11g Coding Best Practice Document

Hello,
I am looking for coding best practice dosument for SOA suite 11g. I have seen one document for "soa_best_practices_1013x_drop3" but this was for SOA 10g. I could not find any such document for SOA 11g. Please let me know if some one has document for best practice, coding standard, naming convention for BPEL,OSB,B2B etc.

Now we need to publish our services on the internet. I am looking for the security mechanism that I should apply in order to make the services secure. I may even like to verify that the request invoking service A is only coming from specified context.One approach we followed at a customer :
- SOA was installed within internal firewall zone
- A F5 BigIP Load Balancer was setup in DMZ. This load balancer terminated one way SSL connections coming from service consumers over internet. The load balancer forwaded the request to a pool of apache of web servers within DMZ
- The Apache web servers had a redirection rule which forwarded the request to the soa server ports within the internal firwall zone. The internal firewall was opened to allow connections between apache web servers and soa server ports.
- WS Security Username token/plain text password was used for message level security at the soa services layer.
Some alterations you can do :
1. enforce 2 way ssl and make load balancer to validate the CN of the client certificate. This can make sure only authorized clients are to make calls to the service
2. OR setup some sort of IP filtering at DMZ firewall i.e. allow traffic only from authorized clients IP addresses to the load balancers virtual address for this specific service.

Can someone, please, suggest what I am missing?
Thanks in advance

Hello Michael,
I analyzed this issue and found that it is working as designed. Developers templates are designed for low memory hosts and hence certain applications like b2bui, composer, OracleAppsAdapter etc. does not get deployed by default. If a user wants to use these applications then he may target and deploy them manually from Weblogic Admin console.
As these applications may not be required for all users who installed SOA (because SOA installable contains many components of SOA like BPEL, Mediator, Rules, Workflow, B2B and BPM Suite as well and a developer may not be interested in using all these applications), so these apps does not get deployed by default.
For the benefit of other users of this community, I have blogged about the same here where you may also find steps that how to enable these applications -

How to deal with any UDDI in SOA Suite 11g?

Hi folks,
I have spent quite some time trying to understand how Oracle is dealing with the UDDI aspects in the Soa Suite 11g.
Back to Oracle AS 10g, I remember, even though i had never used it, that the UDDI repository was a out of the box capability with a very nice Web UI to browse the services The Aqualogic Service Bus seems to have features to consume/publish web services in any UDDI, but no real embedded UDDI in its core.
Since 11g, obviously the way to go is to adopt Oracle Service Registry. There is a seamless integration with JDeveloper 11g (i.e create a UDDI connection to publish/consume/search web services).
My company is keen to go on a open source UDDI and I came to the conclusion that any of those (i.e jUDDIv3.02, OpenUDDI) are actually able to work properly with JDeveloper 11.1.1.2. I got XSD exception or other cabalistic errors that definitely show that JDeveloper 11g can only deal with Oracle Service Registry. I heard that the Soa Suite 11g could only deal with UDDI v2 and v3. CentraSite does fit those requirements but does not work too.
Why is that ? How can I set up my SOA initiative without having the choice on the UDDI ? Does this have changed since PS2 ? I have tried to look up on Metalink and I got a hit on jUDDI but it does clearly state that jUDDI works well now with JDeveloper.
Any answer on that would be highly appreciated.
Kind regards,

SOA Suite 11g installation - B2B issue

Hi guys,
I just installed windows SOA Suite 11g on my machine. When I access the B2B and try to create a new version, I get the following error:
MDS-00522: failure to save document /soa/b2b/doc_EDI_X12.xml to the metadata repository
ORA-01573: shutting down instance, no further change allowed
ORA-01573: shutting down instance, no further change allowed
I am pretty sure that I need to change the configuration somewhere so that it does not save the file on some linux directory, but saves on my C drive somewhere. But I could not find the configuration location. I would really appreciate your help in this regard. Thanks

Seems like it is a SOA Suite installation issue. I am closing this post.

Does the AS2 adpater is included by default in the SOA suite 11g or BAM

Hi,
I wanted to know that does the AS2 adpater comes by default with the SOA Suite 11g package or with BAM or we do need to have a seperate licensing for the adapter.
Thanks in Advance,
Jignesh

Hello Jignesh,
Oracle B2B (part of Oracle SOA suite 11g) supports AS2 exchange protocol. I don't think you need a separate license for that but still it would be better to confirm it once with your local Oracle Sales representative.

How much Oracle Apps knowledge is needed to master SOA Suite 11g?

I am an experience server-side java developer with little experience with Oracle Apps. I have worked on BPEL process manager earlier, but the new SOA Suite 11g has much more than just BPEL PM. When I go through the Oracle documentation, most of the examples are based on Oracle Apps that a person with little knowledge on for example, PO processing etc cannot understand very clearly. Is there any other way, I can get some standalone examples that are not based on Oracle Apps ?
Share some examples pls.

How to configure something similar to optSoapShortcut in SOA Suite 11g

Hi,
We are migrating processes in BPEL 10g to composites in SOA Suite 11g (11.1.1.5). In one of these processes we are extracting the ws-addressing elements replyTo and MessageID from the SOAP header from the calling process and saving these values into a database. They are later used to be able to reply back to the calling process. In 10g this was no problem but in 11g calls between processes are automatically optimized, meaning that they are not communicating using SOAP. Hence, it seems like we can't get the soap headers the normal way.
According to the Administration Guide for SOA Suite 11.1.1.5 the optSoapShortcut property has been removed which could be used in 10g to specify if the calls should be optimized or not. Is there any other way to configure this in SOA Suite 11g?
If not, is there any way to instead extract these elements from some BPEL API or similar?
Thanks!
Best wishes
Kerstin

For release 11g, SOAP optimization is automatically configured. Therefore, if you upgrade your projects from 10g to 11g and are using the optimized shortcut approach in existing applications, note that optimized calls are activated only when the hostname value (as referred to in the WSDL URL in the composite.xml file) matches the Server URL value. Either set both values to the hostname (for example, myhost) or to the full domain name (for example, myhost.domain.com). If these values do not match, a regular SOAP call is performed instead of an optimized local call.
You can still control this using oracle.webservices.local.optimization property.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15586_01/web.1111/b32511/configuring.htm#WSSEC3522
Refer to "Controlling When Local Optimization is Used"

Does SOA Suite 11g include OSB?

What's the difference between OSB and ESB.
ESB is a component of SOA Suite and it can connect to different services.
OSB has more functions such as dynamic routing and Message Enrichment. If I just buy SOA suite, can I use OSB? Or I must buy OSB if I want to use it in my application which contains SOA components.

I think with SOA suite 11g license, you may use OSB. No need to purchase it seprately. You may refer -
