11g BPEL processes -- How-To for day-to-day monitoring ?

hi,
below are some of the day-to-day activities we typically perform in 11g. how to perform these in 11g?
1. switching off-on BPEL processes.
2. Instantiating BPEL processes on demand.. (In 10g, i use dashboad to say initiate)
3. In 11g, i am able to see the audit trail of BPEL instances in dashboard (by deselecting show only running instances), but in instances tab -- I see the composite instances, but not just the BPEL instances.
Any inputs will be useful.
thanks,
Rev

thanks for the resppnse.
i have a problem in #2. In EM, I am trying to test some of the basic processes using file adapter.
TEST button is grayed out and it says 'Only the composites using webserivces can be tested from EM console',
(though this has a workaround by placig a file, trying to simulate what used to happen in 10g)
I am yet to try #1 (switching off-on), One further question:
Is this feature stable even after SOA services restart. In 10g i faced problems in this off-on, after restart process might show 'ON', but might not actually be. I had to toggle as off-on as a workaround. trying to make sure these critical stuffs are fine before planning for prod migration.
thnks,
Rev

  • Oracle SOA Suite 11g (BPEL Process) Dependency with Database

    Folks,
    Oracle SOA Suite 11g requires a relational DB like Oracle, SQL Server to maintain the Metadata for the SOA & Related Components.
    Can you plz let me know with your experience - what should happen to a running BPEL Process if the database (SOAINFRA) is down? Being very specific -
    1, Does/Should end-point become inaccessible? Or Does service remains accessible but throws service remote-fault execption?
    2, What happens to a process which is in running state?
    My experience in these scenarios is not encouraging; we have notices the following -- during the time when our SOAINFRA database is down, the in-process (running) instances are left in a running state. These instances do not complete or move forward even when the Database is back. These instances do not provide any information in the Enterprise Manager.
    Also, if DB is down WSDL's are still accesssible, is this right way?
    If this is how SOA does work then I would doubt for its merit……...your thought plz????
    Thanks & Regards
    Shyam Kumar

    I am not posting here because I'm smart but because your questions look interesting.
    during the time when our SOAINFRA database is down, the in-process (running) instances are left in a running stateYou know that BPEL is a state-full product and it needs database support for persisting the process of state so if database goes down it is an expected behavior that processes may stuck in the same state where they were when DB went down. I don't see anything wrong with it.
    These instances do not complete or move forward even when the Database is back.Instances should auto/manually recoverable. If this is not the case then you may raise a SR with support.
    These instances do not provide any information in the Enterprise Manager. What information you could not find? Can you be more clear on this?
    Also, if DB is down WSDL's are still accesssible, is this right way?Yes, again it's expected because design time data also gets stored in DB only and hence if DB goes down, any design time data may not be accessible.
    If this is how SOA does work then I would doubt for its merit……...your thought plz????Why so? Alternative of DB is physical memory and that I don't think is perfect for long running BPEL processes and their heavy design time data. Moreover, it will create problems in terms of auditing, support and maintenance. If your requirement is such that it does not need any long running BPEL processes and even auditing is not required and use case is simple routing and transformation with no DB dependency then you may go for OSB which is a stateless product. BPEL is generally used for long running processes and hence DB is the best option, in my opinion at least.

  • Empty BPEL process getting lost for multiple file reads

    Hi
    I have a empty BPEL process polling for files. It works fine when 1 or 2 files are put into the read folder.
    But when than 2 files are put the process is lost, and nothing happens.
    Is there any proper and tested method of handling this problem.
    Is tuning required is yes then what?
    We use SOA 10.1.3.1
    It would be very helpful if you would please put in your ideas and experience.
    Buddhadev

    Check your log as soon as you find that the parent process has found its way into the console. More information on logging can be found here - http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/integrate.1013/b28982/logging.htm
    Not quite sure why its so, but since 10.1.3, I've observed that the console simply doesn't show errored processes at times. So, checking the log can be a starting point in diagnosing the real issue.

  • Invoking BPEL process: how to decide it's two way or one way operation

    Hi,
    I'm using IDeliveryService to invoke BPEL process. Is there API available that allows me to check whether the operation is two way so I call IDeliveryService.request() or is one way so I call IDeliveryService.post()?
    Thanks,
    Qian

    hi,
    By observing WSDL of the BPEL process you can identify that whether its
    two way operation or one way. If operation has two variables - both input & output
    then its way operation and if the opration has only one variable - input variable then
    its one way operation.
    OR are you asking how to check it at runtime without looking at the WSDL...?

  • Stopping Process Chain schedule for just one day...

    Hi,
    Our source systems and BI are getting a patch upgrade during this weekend and I need to stop all the Process Chains schedule for Friday night/ Saturday morning. Is there a simple way I can stop all the Process Chains from executing just for tomorrow instead of manually removing each PC from schedule and again putting them back on schedule on Saturday?
    Thanks,
    Sri.

    Hi
    You can reschedule them instead of de-schedule and schedule back.
    1)open your process chain in rspc1
    2) goto planning mode
    3) right click on start --> display schedule job
    4) select the job --> in menu bar --> click on first one from left --> change
    here change the dates as per your requirement and save the job.
    If you have any event based chains which are going to start after time based chains gets complete, no need to de-schedule as we are not going get trigger from time based chains.
    I don't think so we have any program to de-schedule all the chains at a time.

  • 11G BPEL Process using DB Adapter Polling Wont Create Instance

    I have a BPEL project that uses DB Adapter to Poll the database for changes. This process was developed in 10.1.3.3 and migrated to 11.1.1.2. I have successfully deployed this to the weblogic server, but it will not run. It is showing that is is up and it is in active mode, but it will not run. Any suggestions on this?

    The problem was on the OS side. The firewall was up after the installation and also it was not recognizing the database name. The OS team made the changes and it begin to run.....What happen to an easy migration....

  • BPEL Process showing as service in SOA 11g version

    Hi All,
    Morning...need some help with this as we are currently stuck with this.
    In the SOA Suite 10g version (10.1.3.3) when we deployed a parent bpel process making a call to another bpel process ( child process ) via the partner link (by mentioning the complete WSDL location/url for the deployed child process in the partner link). When we see the flow/audit trail for such a bpel process in the BPEL Console it shows the separate flow diagrams of the bpel instances for the parent as well child process..
    Now when we have migrated such a bpel process to SOA Suite 11g (J developer : 11.1.1.4) by opening up the project file ( .jpr ) for both the processes in Jdev 11g version and going through the migration steps in the wizard. It finally says migration to version 11.1.1.4 is successful
    Now we deploy the child process successfully to the server --> Then compile/build the parent process --> deploy this parent as well.
    1.Now when we see the composite.xml for the parent process in Design view it shows the child bpel process partner link in the External References section.
    2.In the front end we invoke the parent process , it completes successfully ..we could see the flow diagram for this parent process..
    But for the child bpel process we don't see a new separate instance created in the front end in the EM console
    Could someone please let us know how this could be achieved so that we could see a separate bpel instance for the child bpel process as well..what settings/properties could be changed..
    We need to see separate instances for the parent as well child bpel process within the BPEL Console.
    With regards

    Hi Todd,
    first of all thanks for your response..i am putting below what exactly is happening.
    1. We trigger the parent process..
    Go to SOA Composite for parent process --> Dashboard --> Recent Instances ---
    there it shows the composite instance id lets say 123 for parent process..
    We click the hyperlink for this instance id --> it opens up the Flow Trace screen -- on the right side it mentions the ECID value. this is correct ...
    Now below it shows the Trace section. here in tabular format it shows below columns :
    Usage Instance Type Composite Instance
    Service parent process name (hyperlinked) BPEL Component composite instance # 123
    Reference child process name web service(local invocation) composite instance # 456
    Now if we need to see the flow trace for the parent process we click the hyperlink just mentioned above and it opens up the flow trace page showing the bpel process instance details for parent process.
    On the top right side it shows the BPEL id for this parent process. this is fine...
    Now if we need to see the same flow details for the child bpel process..how do we see this in the frontend.
    In the older version of SOA 10g Bpel Console 10.1.3.3 we used to see these 2 bpel processes separately in the BPEL Console under the BPEL processes tab & there we could see the instances for the child process with complete flow trace/audit details
    This is the problem we are facing now..hope it is clear now.
    Thanks

  • BPEL process - reading nodes

    1. Given the BPEL process, how would we get a handle on the BPEL xml in a production environment
    or
    2. Is there any API that would return the nodes in specific BPEL process
    thanks
    Mamatha

    By BPEL xml I mean the xxx.bpel associated with a particular BPEL process.
    From the UI(JSP or ADF) that launches a BPEL process we need to get handle on the specific xxxx.bpel file for the selected BPEL process. We need this so that we can display the Scope nodes in our UI for the xxx.bpel.
    The qn was how do you get a handle to xxx.bpel file for a specific BPEL process.
    thanks.

  • Terminate a BPEL Process using Java Code

    Hi,
    How can I achieve the forcible termination of a BPEL process via Java code??
    Thanks
    Pramod

    I guess I'll not be able to use event handlers because if I set an OnMessage, the process wont get kicked off till I receive a message, isnt it?
    My requirement is that I want the BPEL to keep executing as normal but as soon as I send a request to Stop, then it should terminate.
    Actually, is it possible to achieve the following? That is, I want to keep running a bpel process but at the same time keep monitoring for an input message(sent from another partnerlink maybe). As soon as I receive my input message, a different scope is executed and in this scope I can then put a terminate.
    Thanks

  • Mostly tables in process or scheduled for a longer period of time

    Hi Folks,
    I am a newbie to SLT. Sorry if I ask some basic stuff.
    I am using HANA and SLT and can see below list of tables are in state or 'In Process' or 'Scheduled' for couple of days.
    For one of my Ztable its says 'scheduled' in HANA and trigger state is DEACTIVATED in SLT.
    Now what I want to do is delete the same from HANA and replicate it again but I am not able to do.
    Below are the list of the tables which are creating issues,
    I am attaching both HANA as well as SLT screenshots.
    Kindly let me know the approach needs to be followed to solve the issues.
    I have one more query , I am trying this on my home HANA system but in projects
    will loading of data or migrating of tables from ECC to HANA will be done by BASIS guys or by HANA developer?
    By profession I am ABAP as well as HANA developer.

    The log entry shows that user : WALMART is missing on your user-properties.xml file.
    Please check that you have this user properly configured with jazn. Which version of BPEL you are using and what are the changes you are trying to do to the deployed project ?
