An invite to join the SOA-BPM EMG

You're invited to join a new branch of the Enterprise Methodology Group (EMG), the SOA-BPM EMG.
What is the SOA-BPM EMG?:
>
This group is a place to discuss best practices and methodologies for SOA and BPM Enterprise (Oracle) development, including effort by "experts" in SOA (that’s anyone that knows what SOA stands for ;-) to discuss high level issues than those discussed on the OTN SOA Forums. This effort is an overall part of getting SOA and BPM experts, advocates and programmers to start collaborating at user group events and OOW to get SOA and BPM out there
>
I encourage anyone interested to join the SOA-BPM EMG today, by visiting: http://groups.google.com/group/soa-emg

Is this group still around ? I couldn't locate the email group.
Thanks

Invitation to join the SwingML project

Hello folks.
I want to extend and invitation to join the project SwingML.
This is an open source effort available under GPL to create a markup language to render Swing based guis in an a web browser through an Renderer applet. Its goal it is to release the power of Swing by providing an alternative to replace COMPLETELY the use of HTML in the development of web based applications.
More information at:

I'd like more detail on this council please.
It would probably be better to use this URL (leaving off the application server specific "28"):

When you says "Customers are Invited" do you mean "one executive per SAP Customer company" or do you mean "any SAP customer" can join? I hope this initiative doesn't go the way of the SAP "Green IT" community which was announced with great fanfare and hardly heard from since.

The last one is for the Sustainability Exec Council on SCN's sister web site "CW - Collaboration Workspace". It's only open by invitation, and seems to have little traffic. It would be nice if someone posted digests of meetings and progress here on the open Sustainability forum.

Trying to run the SOA/BPM managed server withOUT running the Admin server

(This is for demo/development purposes... Using 11.1.1.4 in Windows 7 with 4gb)
Because of memory constrains I am trying to run the BPM/workspaces application without needing the Admin to be running.
When they both run, I can use the credentials I create with the Admin server but the response time is prohibitive and all my memory is used...
It seems to run much faster when only the bpm managed server is running but then I cannot login ...
So my question is simply: Whats the easiest way to set it up so I can use credentials elsewhere without requiring the admin server to be running?
( I could connect to an OID instance I have outside this server or the seeded demo they refer to in other posts ... but do these also require the admin server to be running???)

I don't know if what you want is possible. Only did a suggestion that works fine for me. I'm running SOA Suite and BPM Suite 11.1.1.5 on WLS 10.3.5
Configure a new WLS domain and see if the BPM Dev template is available in your version.
I've tuned my startup script (setSOADomainEnv.cmd) as follows:
set JAVA_OPTIONS=%JAVA_OPTIONS%
set DEFAULT_MEM_ARGS=-Xms512m -Xmx1024m
set PORT_MEM_ARGS=-Xms1536m -Xmx1536m
if "%JAVA_VENDOR%" == "Oracle" goto OracleJVM
set DEFAULT_MEM_ARGS=%DEFAULT_MEM_ARGS% -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
set PORT_MEM_ARGS=%PORT_MEM_ARGS% -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
Use visualvm that's available from your jdk/bin directory to monitor your jvm and optimize it accordingly

Where is the SOA-BPM 11g Amazon image?

According to http://blogs.oracle.com/bpm/entry/bpm_11gr1_now_available_on_ama, an image for SOA Suite 11gR1 Patch-set 2 should be available under the Amazon EC2. But all I could find are a couple of old 10g images.
Is the 11g EC2 image still available? If it is, what is its exact name and under which Region can it be found?
Thank you,
Ugo

It should be there, but it is not. Somebody was having the same complain just a few days ago at http://blogs.oracle.com/bpm/entry/bpm_11gr1_now_available_on_ama.
All that is currently available there are two images for FMW 10g, not 11g.

Invite to join the ADF Enterprise Methdology Group

You can easily tell when a tool has matured to being a productive environment. Software developers move from playing and learning features, to supporting production systems and discussing best practices and development methodologies to ensure the success of their next project.
The ADF Enterprise Methodology Group is such a place for community discussions based around JDeveloper best practices and methodologies for ADF Enterprise development. On a day by day bases ADF "experts" (that's anyone that knows what ADF stands for ;-) chat about high level ADF concepts, beyond the how-do-I-get-it-to-work posts on the OTN JDeveloper Forums.
If you'd like to discuss best practices, steps and processes for a successful ADF project, please join us at:
http://groups.google.com/group/adf-methodology?hl=en
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Cheers,
CM.

Yet another blatant boing, to remind new people on the forum about the ADF Enterprise Methodology Group.

SOA & BPM

Can we have BPM and SOA managed server separately in a single domain ? If so then how ? If not then what is the benefit to having both in a single managed server ?

Hi there 2640028,
the run time environments for both SOA and BPM are actually the same. This is the SOA Infrastructure (or the Fabric) where the composite applications get deployed and executed. Different service engines plug-in (or communicate) with the soa infrastructure. These service engines are:
the process core - capable of executing BPEL in SOA installation. When SOA domain is extended to BPM the process core is able to execute also BPMN processes;
the business rules - executes the business rules
the human workflow - executes human tasks. The BPM process workspaces uses the human workflow service engine API so the end users are capable of interacting with the human task forms
the mediator - executes the mediator component
the spring - executes spring context
Hence, the BPM runtime is integral part of SOA and cannot be separated.
Important part of the BPM is the development of human task forms. One of the options is to have ADF as a development framework. You are able to have a dedicated managed server where the ADF human task forms will be deployed and running, so you will have all your pure composite (SCA) applications running in the SOA/BPM managed server and all BPM human task forms running on a separate managed server.
Hope this helps,
Anatoli

HT204053 my wife and I use one apple id for itunes and the cloud. I was invited to join a photo stream with a friend and I said yes and for some reason the invite and photostream went to her phone only. The similar invite is also in my inbox on the associ

I was invited to join a photo stream from a friend. My wife and I only have one email associated with our phones, the photostream message went to only my wife's phone and not mine although the invite was in my inbox on the associated account I appreciate any help.

Problem solved forwarded the invite to to my phone which is associated rto another account now it is working......

TS3989 I keep getting this error when I click on the link inviting me to join a Photo Stream: "An error occurred while joining the Photo Stream. Please try again later. "

I keep getting this error when I click on the link inviting me to join a Photo Stream: "An error occurred while joining the Photo Stream. Please try again later."
I was the one who set up the Photo Stream and sent the link to myself. I called Apple and they said I did everything right and the server must be temporarily down, but it has been the same for the better part of a day.

None of the fixes above worked for me. Continued getting the "try again" error message.
Tryed a bunch of things, such as going directly to icloud on Safari to open the mail message, no luck.
Tryed the following;
Went to iCloud and logged in via Safari, clicked on my account name in top right corner, selected "Advanced" on drop down menu, and selected "Reset Photo Stream".
Turned off Photo Stream on all devices and iPhoto.
Turned on Shared Photo Stream option on Mac iCloud preferences.
Tried the "Join This Photo Stream" button in my Mac Mail app .me account again.
Still got the error message.
Forwarded the original mail message to a yahoo account, selected "Join this Photo Stream" in the yahoo account mail (still in my Mac Mail app), and lo and behold, iPhoto opened and displayed the photos.
Could be this would have worked right from the start.
Oh yea, still get the "try again" message if I click on the Photo Stream button in my .me account.

Unable to get the composite instance for the invocation. This could be because instance has not yet been created or because the audit level for the SOA infra has been set to Off

I am on Oracle 11.1.1.7 BPM suite on W8 64 bit. I can't launch the flow trace and get the error "Unable to get the composite instance for the invocation. This could be because instance has not yet been created or because the audit level for the SOA infra has been set to Off". I have set the audit level to development at the soa-infra>SOA Administration> Common Properties > Audit level set to development and Capture Composite Instance State is Checked.
Can somebody advice.
Thanks

Can you please confirm me the following steps...
Log in to the EM console, Expand soa-infra (soa_server1) , go to the partition where your composite is been deployed, Click on your composite, On the right, click on the dropdown Settings and choose Composite Audit Level. you can choose to set the Audit Level for this composite. If you choose Inherit, it will take the settings to what the server is being set to. Otherwise, we can override it by choosing Off, Production, or Development.
Make sure your setting for that composite is not Off, keep inherit or production or development.
Thanks,

Find a BUG on the SOA Suite ( Internationalizing Problem)

I am a java developer in Thailand.
I have 4 Java Certifications - SCJP, SCWCD, SCBCD, SCJWSD.
I meet something wrong ("bug") when I play with Oracle SOA Suite.
About my technical software :
-I use the Oracle Database XE (Universal).
(I cannot use the HTML DB to run your script from soademo_101310_preview - it's give me the error messages so I change to run the SQL from command. Although running the SQL script from the command line is O.K., the command window is not support the Thai language. It appear in Alien language that I cannot read.I try to change the command window option but It has only 2 font choices. Thus I cannot still do with Thai language in the command window.)
In control panel, the regional and Language Option, I set the standard and format to Thai (including Language for the non-Unicode program in Advanced Tab).
I am successful both insallation and deploy the SOA book application.
I follow the instruction in Oracle SOA Suite Quick Start Guide, 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0).
At the page 39, I find a BUG.
My created date on the BPM Worklist is wrong !!!
My computer time is 10 กันยายน ( September in Thai language) 2549 (Buddhist Time).
But the date I see in the BPM Worklist is 10 กันยายน ( September in Thai language) 3635 (Buddhist Time).
You can see the image at http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/5487/datehp3.jpg.
I have 3 questions :
1. How can I add the Thai font in SQL command line window (SQL*Plus) in Oracle XE ?
2. Why does the HTML DB not support to run the uncomplete sql script ?
3. Have any suggestion to correct the time problem. ( Internationalizing Problem) ?
Thank you very much.

This is not a bug.
The timezone is based on the user profile.
You are using jcooper, whose timezone setting by default is set to be
<timeZone>America/Los_Angeles</timeZone>
Please double check the
ORACLE_HOME\OraBPEL_1\bpel\system\services\config\users-properties.xml
jcooper should have settings like this by default:
<name>jcooper</name>
<description>Demo User</description>

Invoking bpel process from java in oracle soa/bpm 11g

Hi,
We have some java code to invoke bpel process in oracle BPM 10g following the instructions in http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/integrate.1012/b14448/invoke.htm.
Basically the steps are:
1) get a Locator (com.oracle.bpel.client.Locator)
2) get IDeliveryService (com.oracle.bpel.client.delivery.IDeliveryService) reference from locator
3) call IDeliveryService method request or post with input message and get the response back.
Recently we want to migrated from oracle bpm 10g to oracle soa/bpm 11g. But I can not find the similar API in 11g. It seems now some adapter/binding need to be added in exposed service lane in soa composite view, for example, ADF-BC, direct binding etc, in order to allow java to invoke a bpel process. Here are two very useful links from Edwin about the detail how this is implemented.
http://biemond.blogspot.com/2009/11/invoking-soa-suite-11g-service-from.html
http://biemond.blogspot.com/2009/11/calling-soa-suite-direct-binding.html?showComment=1285198033913#comment-c1055322845511794252
My question is:
1) what are the choices and the official/best way to invoke a bpel process in oracle soa/bpm 11g from java?
2) does user need to add an adapter/binding in exposed service lane in order to let the bpel service be called in java?
3) what is the real difference between a bpm application and soa application in 11g?
I will really appreciate any expert's opinion.
Thanks,
Bin

Thanks for your reply and confirmation, really appreciate it.
Yes, I found the difference of the invoking process API and was able to invoke bpel process using direct and ADF-BC binding by following Edwin's blog. But I have not found any official reference to compare this API difference between 10g and 11g ( I will mark this question as answered if anyone can find an official source from oracle, need to prove it to the team). The API to work with human task workflow seems pretty much the same between 10g and 11g.

Oracle 11g SOA-BPM PS3 Installation Help

I'm not a super techie, so installing the latest release from Oracle was a challenge, but I encountered a number of problems and kept notes of what I did to solve it. Many of these hints came from the Forum, but nothing had all of the relevant info under one thread. So here is what I pieced together. If this is helpful to anybody, I'd love to hear it - either on this thread or at my e-mail address of [email protected]. My thanks to Linus Chow of Oracle for some help and allowing me to think I could do this!
Comments/Suggestions on Oracle 11g SOA-BPMN PS3 Installation_
Suggest downloading all files into a common directory. I stuck this folder at the root (C:) drive. At collectively just over 5 GBs, the downloading will take several hours (for me it was a full day, as did the installation). You will need an OTN account to be able to download the software. A good overview of PS3 is at the following link: http://blogs.oracle.com/bpm/2011/01/bpm_suite_11gr1_ps3_released.html.
General comment/suggestion. Be sure to name the aforementioned folder without any spaces (big problems if this is done because of how unzipped files do/don’t work with a path name with spaces in it). As the installs get started, note that an Oracle directory (under the root) with a default name for the middleware directory, named Middleware, is created as the default.
The link with the installation is actually helpful, but it is incomplete (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bpm/downloads/index.html). Some of the detail needed is in the quick installation guide (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/install.1111/e14318/toc.htm, and I suggest downloading the PDF version), but the order conflicts with the previous information. I resolved this by using the latter for detail, but the former for the sequence. I also had to turn to several blogs/forums (the main one being: http://blogs.oracle.com/SOA/2009/08/installing_oracle_soa_suite_11.html) to get help on troubleshooting problems with the installation (see below for others).
I have a Windows 7 Professional 64-bit version, but I ended up following the path for the 32-bit install path (see the main link cited above), mostly because it was unclear to me what the 64-bit path would be. I also already had the 32-bit version of the JRE installed. The following links cover identifying the differences and what you may have installed as well as alternative versions to download: http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/index_general.xml?user_os=Windows%207; http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_win64bit.xml; and http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp.
Another general comment/suggestion. I found it useful to reboot after each step. It shut down services that I would otherwise have to search for and shut down manually. Some of the installations require services activated by previous steps to be turned off, so you’re better off doing something like this rather than encountering such an error in a subsequent step.
Step 1: Installing the XE database. The file is an .exe file, and will execute upon a double click. However, the instruction regarding RCU is best saved until the 3rd step, doing it just before you install the RCU. More importantly, there are some things to keep in mind about the database install. First, after installation, you should sign on to the DB, using the Go To DB Home Page option under the Express Edition (XE) folder or set of menu options (created as part of the installation), under the SYSTEM user account. During installation, you’ll have to have given a password for this account, so make sure it is one you can remember. After signing on as SYSTEM, give the SYS user account another (or same) password that you can remember. You will use the SYS account in subsequent steps. Second, there is a parameter for the database that must be changed from the default. This is covered in the links below: http://blogs.oracle.com/tridib_samanta/2010/03/rcu-6107db_init_param_prerequisite_failure_for_processes.html and http://cn.forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=1004605. To solve this, select SQL button on the DB home page, then SQL Commands button on the next page, paste/enter into the pane at the top the following command, “ALTER SYSTEM SET processes=300 SCOPE=SPFILE;” (but without the quotes), and then click on the Run button. (The parameter must be greater than or equal to 200, but I found references to setting in equal to 300 or 500.) Then you can log out and close the web page.
At times, the DB might not be started when you are expecting it to be running (e.g., after a reboot), which is covered in this link: Oracle 10g database homepage not working? (You’ll know that it is isn’t running if you try to open the Go To DB Home Page option and it won’t open, displaying an error page instead.) I found that the simplest way to fix this was to go to the Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services, and then look to see if the OracleServiceXE service is started. If not, then restart by right-clicking on that service listing and choosing the appropriate option to execute.
Step 2: Installing WebLogic Server. Either before or during this process, you will need to set up an Oracle Support Account. However, you need a customer ID to be able to create a profile. I was thus not able to complete a profile, so the WLS installation defaulted to the Anonymous registration option. This still needed an e-mail address though, the same one with which you would create the Oracle Support profile, so you should have one at the ready. (It would not accept the e-mail address for my OTN account.) As far as I can tell, the consequence of this path is that I cannot automatically get patches and such. I figure this is a problem to be solved another day. The Oracle Support links are: https://support.oracle.com/CSP/ui/faq_en.html#SignIn and https://support.oracle.com/CSP/ui/flash.html.
If you go with the default, the middleware directory is just Middleware under the Oracle directory. If you select a different name or location, you will need to remember where it is and what the name is. You should also note the folder name for where the JDK was stuck, which for me was JDK160_21 under the Middleware directory.
Step 3: Installing RCU. The trickiest of the steps. Unlike with the previous two steps, this installation first happens after the downloaded file is unzipped. You MUST unzip into a directory for which the full path name (and not just the one you create upon extraction) is without any spaces. (You can use the underscore symbol instead of a space to indicate separation.) Unzip the folder/files, and then open the Command Prompt window. Using the cd command, work your way to the full path name to where you just unzipped these files. Next, continue to work your way down to subfolders created during the extraction process. You want to end up at the rcuHome\BIN\ subfolder. THEN do the RCU-related command cited in Step 1. Type in at the prompt the following command and hit enter: set RCU_JDBC_TRIM_BLOCKS = TRUE. Then, type in rcu.bat at the prompt and hit enter, which will run the installation and configuration sequence. This is realized through a series of windows that open for you to input information and make selections. Use the document at the following link of specific guidance as to what the configuration screens should have entered on them: http://blogs.oracle.com/SOA/2009/08/installing_oracle_soa_suite_11.html. This includes things like the service name (XE) and the host name (localhost) to enter, assuming you are installing this on a laptop or PC for local use only. Some other helpful links for troubleshooting the RCU installation are located at: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/doc.1111/e14259/rcu.htm#CIHGHDBG; http://oraclebi.blogspot.com/2010/08/rcu-and-what-it-means-for-you.html ; Re: RCU 11.1.1.4 install fails on Oracle XE and http://cn.forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2162409&tstart=0&messageID=9336791.
The RCU sets up DB schemas and the like for the BPMN and SOA stuff. The screenshots in the previously mentioned document should be followed exactly. You can also refer to pp. 5-6 of the Quick Installation Guide. You should use the SYS user account (the default, I think), so have the password handy.
I also found it more comforting to shutdown the RCU installation/configuration via the cancel option than to keep going back a screen to fix something. This may not have been necessary, but it made me feel better. Be prepared for interim screens that pop up to show that the installation/configuration is happening, which will also tell you there are errors. One such screen says that XE isn’t supported for RCU, but you can ignore that (as the supporting guidelines indicate).
Step 4: Installing JDev. This is an executable, and you just install with all of the defaults. This process will start the WLS as part of the installation, so you must turn it off before going to the next step. Again, I just rebooted to do this.
Step 5: Installing SOA Extensions for JDev. Instructions on the page at the main link are clear and correct. The 2 screen shots must be reviewed and adhered to completely in checking off options. The first selection defines the areas where updates are to be sought out, while the second selection is from the available option(s) from those areas. In this case, you are only installing the SOA Composite Editor, though there are several other updates/extensions from which to select (but don’t, at least for now).
Step 6: Installing BPM Extensions for JDev. Same comment as for Step 5, except that the option you want to select is not as what is indicate (the BPM Composite Editor) but the BPM Process Studio! I would advise against doing these as part of the same update sequence. In fact, I closed out JDev completely (though I did not reboot) between Step 5 and Step 6.
Step 7 and 8: Installing SOA Suite. I suggest unzipping both of the downloaded zip files. Again, it is critical that the full path name into which files are extracted contains no spaces. Once unzipped, you should navigate to the Disk1 folder under the directory into which the first zip file was extracted, but you should do this with the Command Prompt window and the cd command. From this prompt, you should type in “setup.exe -jreLoc {location of JDK}” (without the quotes) and hit enter. The {location of JDK} is where the JDK was installed as part of the WLS installation. For me this was in folder JDK160_21 under the Middleware folder in the Oracle directory. Refer to pp. 12-15 of the Quick Installation Guide. This took me a couple of tries before I actually got the installation screen to show up correctly. Some of what this looks like is also in the following link: http://blogs.oracle.com/SOA/2009/08/installing_oracle_soa_suite_11.html.
What you may eventually figure out is that 5 installation disks are stretched across two zip files. Once the installation of disks 1 and 2 are done, a popup window will ask you to browse to the folder where each of the next 3 disks are, which is in the folder created by the extraction of files/folders from the second zip file for the SOA Suite. As with previous steps, I rebooted after all of this was done.
Step 9: Installing the Business Process Converter. Unzip the downloaded file, and open the Installation Instructions Word file. It will instruct you to point JDev’s update sequence to another zip file extracted during the unzipping of the downloaded zip file for the converter. JDev will install this without much fuss or muss, but this installation is to the Studio and not to BPA. (For installation to BPA, you need to have installed BPA, and followed the other guidance in the instructions.) To get to JDev’s update sequence, follow the same first step as in Step 5, but check the option to browse for and upload from a local file. This local file will be the previously mentioned other zip file.

Patch 17190939: SU Patch [HQM5]: TRACKING BUG TO ISSUE WLS PATCH FOR BUG 17052278.
Patch 14526899: SU Patch [KMQW]: TRACKING BUG TO ISSUE WLS PATCH FOR BUG 14306399
Are there any critical patches needed on top of this before proceeding with SOA upgrade?
Oracle Database
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production
Oracle Database 10.2.0.4+ and later
No Upgrade needed. Just need to run the upgrade installer to upgrade the schemas.
Oracle JDK/JRockit
jrockit-jdk1.6.0_33-R28.2.4-4.1.0
Oracle JRockit: 6u37 R28.3+,6u37 R28.2.5+
Oracle jrockit-jdk1.6.0_45-R28.2.7-4.1.0-linux-x64 available for download.
Are there upgrade installers available to upgrade from 1.6.0_33-R28.2.4.4.1.0 to 1.6.0_45-R28.2.7-4.1.0 JRockit? Or Do we need to have a fresh installation of 1.6.0_45-R28.2.7-4.1.0 before proceeding to run SOA upgrade installer for 11.1.1.7? Can you clarify?
Based on my experience with case management with Sun JDK earlier, Sun JDK 1.7.0_* was required to run case management from BPM workspace. Is JRockit version 1.6.0_45-R28.2.7-4.1.0 compatible enough to run case management in 11.1.1.7?
Thanks,

As this is not a FMW Certification issue, I have moved your thread to the SOA Suite Communities to assist you further.
