Oracle Service Bus IDE plugin and OEPE

Hello,
Due to some trouble I got with Oracle Workshop 10gR3 with JEE5 development, I switch to Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse (OEPE) 11g.
As I have to use oracle Service Bus 10gR3, I would like to benefit from the Oracle Service Bus plugin bundled with Oracle Workshop.
I would to avoid switch between two Eclipse's instances (Europa and Ganymede).
Is it possible to deploy Oracle Service Bus Eclipse's plugin on OEPE 11g?
Thanks

May I did not well expressed my question.
I did not tried to deploy Oracle Service Bud IDE plugins on OEPE 11g.
I can figure out that this will not work properly.
If I understand, the plan for the future is to adopt OEPE 11g even for Oracle Service Bud IDE.
Is there any date for this?
Thanks

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

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,

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 service bus: Work manager and Throttling

Hi
Flow is PS_C--->BS_A (based on PS_A)
I created a http protocol based proxy service PS_A and a business service based on PS_A, i.e. BS_A.
Now this BS_A is deployed on four different managed servers. I have implemented failover so at a time copy of only one of the managed severs will be accessed by multiple external clients through PS_C. To say all will hit Managed server-1 copy of BS_A. If Managed server-1 is down then it will hit Managed server-2 copies of BS_A.
I have created a workmanager named "CustomWorkManager" which has MaxThreadConstraint=1. PS_A has not enabled CustomWorkManager. i.e. PS_A works under default policy.
My goal is to process only one request at one time through BS_A.
In business service, BS_A I can see work manager and throttling options.
My question is this:
Scenario I: I make throttling enabled and set maximum concurrency=1 for BS_A
Scenario II: I apply CustomWorkManager to BS_A
Scenario III: I do both Scenario I and Scenario II
What is the difference between I, II and III?
Fundamentally, what is the difference between throttling with maxConcurrency=1 and MaxThreadConstraint of workmanager=1 for a http business service?

@Abhishek: Thanks for descriptive reply.
@Anuj: Thanks for links, I am having a look..
Use case:
What is the target app/service? Is it DB, HTTP or anything else?
Back end: Amadeus web services
Role of DB:
1. It will store data to attach transaction context to a request. This is to call more than one services in the backend - it is necessary for backend to understand in which context services are being invoked.
For example, if I need to make PNR related changes, I need to invoke service X and fetch transaction context from back-end. The transaction specific identifier (read session) will be received in header part. After retrieve suppose I need retrieve PNR, I will invoke service Y. When I invoke, I need to put the transaction specific header part received in response of service X and then change body as per request format of service Y (read the response header of X will be the same as request and response header of Y) which will actually make changes and commit in the backend. (So back-end will understand that service X and Y are invoked as a part of single transaction, and transaction can be identified through logs)
3. Once my X+Y call is over and transaction is committed, the context for transaction specific part received in header to the transaction is removed from back-end. Then I can use session again for the next transaction.
4. To re-use session I am storing it in DB and retrieving as per need for each call to Amadeus.
Problem is, it is absolute necessary for all transactions which are being processed simultaneously, to have unique session in header.
For example,
I do the following:
Request 1: receives session from service X, uses for service Y. After use, inserts session in DB. Now context for that session is removed from back-end.
Request 2: looks for session DB, puts in header and invokes backend. Context for Request 2 is attached to session retrieved from DB.
Request 3: looks for session DB, puts in header and invokes backend. Context for Request 3 is attached to session retrieved from DB.
As you can see if Request 2 and Request 3, pick up the same session from DB and invoke back-end, back-end services won't be able to understand which request the session belongs to, and will fail both requests. Ideally Request 2 should retrieve it from DB use for itself and Request 3 should make a call to service X at back-end to receive context. With this new context Request 3 should proceed for transaction.
Why are you using a BS to call from one Proxy to another Proxy?:
1. To interact with DB, I use DBAdapter business services with QueryByExample/Update/Insert operation.
2. My PS_A is proxy which orchestrates these operations. (Read: SelectandUpdateDBForSessionRetrieve, UpdateDBWhenTransactionOver functionaries) Since there are two admin and four managed servers, all copies of PS_A will try to access DB simultaneously, and concurrency will fail.
3. Hence I made BS_A on the basis of PS_A. BS_A is deployed on all four managed servers, used Load Balancing Algorithm as "None" and gave hard-coded urls of four managed servers in sequence of MS1, MS2, MS3 and MS4.
4. Idea is if MS1 is ok, all requests will go to BS_A of MS1 only, and if somehow if I make it single threaded *(Read from DB+mark retrieved data as "in use" so other request can not use it)*, concurrency issue will not arise. In case MS1 is down, the requests will automatically forwarded to MS2 and since that is also single threaded, concurrency issue won't arise. In short both fail-over and concurrency can be achieved with BS_A making out of PS_A.
The problem as you have correctly pointed out, is that OSB is stateless and one request has no relation with another. Somehow, I need to make every retrieve/update/insert to database as single threaded, i.e. once one is done then another should not be done at the same time. Else entire point of this pooling will fail.
Please share any thoughts you might have. Even another approach to handle this single threaded need will do.
Thanks and Regards,
Swapnil Kharwadkar

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.

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.

Workshop IDE for Oracle Service Bus

Hi,
I have installed Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 (10.3.3) + Coherence - Package Installer (downloaded from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/wls_main.html). And I downloaded oepe from net for using it as IDE for Oracle service bus. But when i open the eclipse, i do not get any option for creating the oracle service project.
Is there any plugin i need to put in eclipse for this to show up ??
John

You need to download Oracle Service BUs from here : This installer contains only OSB components and is not bundled with WLS and I think includes the eclipse plugins for Service bus projects.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/osb/index.html
There is a pre-requisite to download and install weblogic 10.3.3 + coherence +OEPE separately.

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.

What are all difference between 11g Mediator and 10g Oracle service bus.

hi all ,
Apart from SCA concept , storing location
is thr any other difference between 11g Mediator and 10g Oracle service bus ?
thx in advance..

11g introduces the SCA architecture for building the service infrastructure.
SOA 11g uses:-
1. Uses the weblogic Server and BEA Aqualogic Service Bus (ALSB) for the Oracle Service Bus.
2. BPEL uses scalable DOM with reduced memory usage.
3. New adapters and leverage for Java 2 Connector Architecture (J2CA)
4. BAM finally ported from .Net to J2EE and is part of the service infrastructure
5. Oracle Web Services Management built into SOA 11g service infrastructure
6. New adapters and leverage for Java 2 Connector Architecture (J2CA). Tighter integration with E-Business Suite & large payload support.
7. Business Rules in SOA 10g business rules are managed using the Rules Author & in SOA 11g business rules are managed using JDeveloper and SOA composer

Differences in Oracle Service Bus, BPEL and human workflow

Hi Everyone,
I am newbie, don't know if its the right place to post this thread.
I want to prepare paper on differences in Oracle Service Bus, BPEL and human workflow, can anybody help me.
Till now i came to know all these things are very different, no poit comparing them but still need differences
Thanks in advance:
Vikas

Basic difference:
BPEL : It is used for orchastrating different processes. Its heavyweight and stores instances (stateful)
OSB : It is used for routing data between the applications
Human Workflow : It is used to handle scenarios where manual intervention is necessary.

Oracle Service Bus and Financila Message Designer

Hi,
I am new to OSB and FMD so want some good working examples/samples which can explain how to call the FMD cartridge from OSB.

Oracle Service Bus 10gR3 contains the JCA framework which will eventually allow us to exploit the whole set of JCA adapters currently in use in BPEL Process Manager. Over the next few months several JCA adapters will be certified to be used with Oracle Service Bus - the Database adapter is one of the first of these.
As for SOA Suite and WebLogic bundling, let me explain. SOA Suite contains the following products:
BPEL Process Manager
Business Activity Monitoring
Business Rules
Web Services Manager
Complex Event Processing
B2B
ESB (the old Oracle ESB product)
Service Bus (formerly AquaLogic Service Bus from BEA)
This does not come with an application server as the suite is hot-pluggable (i.e. can be used with a number of application servers). However, the preferred (and cheaper) approach is to purchase SOA Suite and WebLogic Suite (which contains iAS, WebLogic Enterprise Edition, Coherence, JRockit with 100ms deterministic garbage collection and WebLogic Operations Control). This is because some of the elements of the SOA Suite only currently run on iAS (B2B) and some only run on WebLogic Server (Oracle Service Bus) although in the future these will also become hot pluggable.
To find out more, check out the SOA Suite and WebLogic Suite pages below:
[SOA Suite|http://www.oracle.com/technologies/soa/soa-suite.html]
[WebLogic Suite|http://www.oracle.com/appserver/weblogic/weblogic-suite.html]
You will find the DataSheets are particularly useful for giving you an overview of the suite.
Hope that helps.

Oracle service bus and database connectivity

Since currently OSB does not support Adapter Framework, what are currently options for using DB Adapter type functionality in Oracle Service Bus (ALSB).
It seems JMS and other transports are very well supported, but how do we use DB Services?
Please if someone can provide some insight into this.
thanks

Oracle service bus and composing two web services

All,
Do let me know your thoughts on this.
Currently we have two web services
Web Service 1 - Verify Eligibility
Web Service 2 - Approve Proposal
Web Service 1 has one operation and accepts a well defined set of input parameters similarly web service 2 also exposes a single operation and accepts a set of input parameters.
These are deployed and running in our environment.
Now we have a requirement to stitch together these two web services and expose them as one single composite web service on the Oracle Service Bus 11g.
I want to create a proxy service on the OSB as unified web service (having its own WSDL) by composing the operations and input plus output parameters of the aforementioned two web services.
This way we can publish the WSDL to the front-end apps and they will trigger it with the required parameters and the proxy service will orchestrate the call to WS1 and WS2 and send the final output back to the calling client.
I was able to create an outbound call from the Proxy service to the underlying business services but I am not able to expose the Proxy service as web service with a WSDL i.e. create the proxy service by choosing operations of Web service 1 and web service 2
Please let me know your thoughts on this.
Regards,
Sushant

Thanks Atheek
The proxy service I tried to create orchestrate 2 web services.
But where we are struggling is How can i make this proxy service (composite) as a web service along with the WSDL.
The proxy service should be able to accept calls from the client with set of inputs representing both the underlying web services and coordinate calls b/w these two services and return consolidated output back to the calling client.
I am not finding a way to create a proxy service (web service along with the wsdl) which is representative of the underlying web services in a consolidated manner that can accepts inputs on behalf of both the underlying web services, orchestrate calls b/w the 2 web services and return the final output back to the calling client.
example modified to keep it brief
web service1
operation name: Verify Eligibility
Input: Complex type (String name, int Id, String address)
Output: Complex type(String approval status, int Id, String reason)
web service2
operation name: Approve Proposal
input: Complex type(String approval status, int Id, String reason, int Amount, int EmployeeCount)
Output: Complex type (String final status, String recommendation)
Composite Proxy Web Service
name: Composite Eligibility and Approval
Input: Complex type ( String name, int Id, String address, int Amount, int EmployeeCount)
Output: Complex type(String approval status, int Id, String reason,String final status, String recommendation)
The composite proxy should be created in a manner to jam the inputs of both the underlying web services and expose a representative interface on behalf of both the web services. This composite web service interface creation (WSDL) is where we are struggling a bit.
Because the calling clients need a unified WSDL to able to communicate with the composite web service.
Do post your thoughts.
Thanks Again,
Sushant

Tuxedo 11gR2 and Oracle Service Bus

Windows platform (2008 r2)
Hi
I am looking to call a number of web services on an Oracle Service Bus.
Do I need to use SALT? If so, is there a license cost associated wth this?
What other options do I have?
Thanks in advance.
M

Hi MI,
Well the general usage of OSB involves creating service definitions as the services themselves (business services as they are called in OSB) are actually someplace else. OSB acts as an intelligent proxy for those services. So for the client side, i.e., the caller of the service, you define a proxy service that the client can then call using whatever transport was chosen. So if you need to have a web services (SOAP/HTTP) client call a service, you define a web services proxy. Likewise if you need a JMS client to call the service, you create a JMS based proxy service. On the server side, you then create a business service which tells OSB how to call the actual service. A pipeline is then defined that describes how the proxy service is connected to the business service. This "connection" may define payload transformations, synch to asynch mediation, routing, failover, etc. that need to occur. The pipeline also describes the reply path as well, so transformation, message enhancement, etc., can all occur on the service reply message.
There used to be examples that shipped with OSB, and I assume there are still some. The Tuxedo Transport ones may have been moved to OTN. Try searching this forum or the web for OSB Tuxedo Transport samples if you need them.

Todd Little
