Basic BPEL architecture question

I'm new to Oracle process technology having specialized in SAP for some years.
Can someone point me in the right direction for documentation that addresses starting a BPEL process from Oracle apps and passing corresponding data to the BPEL process at execution time? The inbound architecture is much more obvious to me.
I understand this can be done in two ways:
- A business event occurs
- An XML document is released
I am trying to trace the data flow technology from Oracle outbound to the BPEL process.
I realize this is an elementary question for this group, but I would appreciate a leg up.
Thanks

Have you seen the Adapter for Oracle Applications User's Guide? Business events are discussed here: http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/integrate.1013/b28351/T430238T430579.htm and XML Gateway here: http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/integrate.1013/b28351/T430238T430339.htm

BPEL/ESB - Architecture question

Folks,
I would like to ask a simple architecture question;
We have to invoke a partner web services which are rpc/encoded from SOA suite 10.1.3.3. Here the role of SOA suite is simply to facilitate communication between an internal application and partner services. As a result SOA suite doesn't have any processing logic. The flow is simply:
1) Internal application invokes SOA suite service (wrapper around partner service) and result is processed.
2) SOA suite translates the incoming message and communicates with partner service and returns response to internal application.
Please note that at this point there is no plan to move all processing logic from internal application to SOA suite. Based on the above details I would like get some recommedation on what technology/solution from SOA suite is more efficient to facilate this communication.
Thanks in advance,
Ranjith

You can go through the design pattern called Channel Adapter.
Here is how you should design - Processing logic remains in the application.. however, you have to design and build a channel adapter as a BPEL process. The channel adapter does the transformation of your input into the web services specific format and invoke the endpoint. You need this channel adapter if your internal application doesn't have the capability to make webservice calls.
Hope this helps.

4 Basic Random HANA Questions

First, I would like to apologise if my questions sound too basic, I'm still new and trying to understand HANA.
1) HANA database will be physically located in memory, or I guess we can say CPU. When I think of database I always think server. Can it be called HANA server?
2) Can reporting be done in HANA? Does HANA provide a tool within it's application that can do reporting? Or is another reporting tool needed like BWA, BO, BI, etc? If so, which are compatible with HANA?
3) Architecture Question:
a) When data is submitted in R/3 (ex. sales order), the data is stored on R/3 server, then replicated in near real time via Sybase to HANA database? Is this how it works?
b) Why is Sybase a server, Is the data being replicated stored on Sybase server first before being transferred to HANA database? If so, there are 2 servers (R/3 & Sybase) and 1 Memory (HANA)?
4) Inside In-Memory Computing Studio, Modeling is where the tables are chosen to be replicated. If I chose table XYZ to be replicated in SAP HANA, will the replication automatically create a copy of the table in SAP HANA?
5) Is there a need to learn any ABAP/4 to be involved in HANA? Can I be an expert in HANA without knowing ABAP/4?
Thanks in advance, and again I apologies for my noobish questions.

Here are random answers:
1) Yes, there is HANA server (hardware machine(s)) and HANA database server (software). HANA server has RAM (lots of it), SSDs and traditional HDD storage. HANA db uses all of those, including CPU cache of course.
2) You can report using SBO BI or MS Excel (please see earlier thread on this forum). You can use HANA studio for preview of tables/views content, but it isnot reporting tool per se.
3) Data can be replicated using SAL LT Replicator (ABAP-based), SBO DataServices and in some cases using Sybase Replication Server. Please have a look at recently recorded webinar at http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/khnc
4) That's the idea. Details depend on the replication mechanism chosen.
5) No, but it does not hurt to know ABAP. You would need to learn HANA-specific language called "SQLScript" if you go deep into HANA-based development.

Oracle VM Server for SPARC - network multipathing architecture question

This is a general architecture question about how to best setup network multipathing
I am reading the "Oracle VM Server for SPARC 2.2 Administration Guide" but I can't find what I am looking for.
From reading the document is appears it is possible to:
(a) Configure IPMP in the Service Domain (pg. 155)
- This protects against link level failure but won't protect against the failure of an entire Service LDOM?
(b) Configure IPMP in the Guest Domain (pg. 154)
- This will protect against Service LDOM failure but moves the complexity to the Guest Domain
- This means the there are two (2) VNICs in the guest though?
In AIX, "Shared Ethernet Adapter (SEA) Failover" it presents a single NIC to the guest but can tolerate failure of a single VIOS (~Service LDOM) as well as link level failure in each VIO Server.
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/mydeveloperworks/blogs/aixpert/entry/shared_ethernet_adapter_sea_failover_with_load_balancing198?lang=en
Is there not a way to do something similar in Oracle VM Server for SPARC that provides the following:
(1) Two (2) Service Domains
(2) Network Redundancy within the Service Domain
(3) Service Domain Redundancy
(4) Simplify the Guest Domain (ie single virtual NIC) with no IPMP in the Guest
Virtual Disk Multipathing appears to work as one would expect (at least according the the documentation, pg. 120). I don't need to setup mpxio in the guest. So I'm not sure why I would need to setup IPMP in the guest.
Edited by: 905243 on Aug 23, 2012 1:27 PM

Hi,
there's link-based and probe-based IPMP. We use link-based IPMP (in the primary domain and in the guest LDOMs).
For the guest LDOMs you have to set the phys-state linkprop on the vnets if you want to use link-based IPMP:
ldm set-vnet linkprop=phys-state vnetX ldom-name
If you want to use IPMP with vsw interfaces in the primary domain, you have to set the phys-state linkprop in the vswitch:
ldm set-vswitch linkprop=phys-state net-dev=<phys_iface_e.g._igb0> <vswitch-name>
Bye,
Alexander.

Architecture question, global VDI deployment

I have an architecture question regarding the use of VDI in a global organization.
We have a pilot VDI Core w/remote mysql setup with 2 hypervisor hosts. We want to bring up 2 more Hypervisor hosts (and VDI Secondaries) in another geographic location, where the local employees would need to connect desktops hosted from their physical location. What we don't want is to need to manage multiple VDI Cores. Ideally we would manage the entire VDI implementation from one pane of glass, having multiple Desktop Provider groups to represent the geographical locations.
Is it possible to just setup VDI Additional Secondaries in the remote locations? What are the pros and cons of that?
Thanks

Yes, simply bind individual interfaces for each domain on your web server,
one for each.
Ensure the appropriate web servers are listening on the appropriate
interfaces and it will work fine.

Running MII on a Wintel virtual environment + hybrid architecture questions

Hi, I have two MII Technical Architecture questions (MII 12.0.4).
Question1: Does anyone know of MII limitations around running production MII in a Wintel virtualized environment (under VMware)?
Question 2: We're currently running MII centrally on Wintel but considering to move it to Solaris. Our current plan is to run centrally but in the future we may want to install local instances local instances of MII in some of our plants which require more horsepower. While we have a preference for Solaris UNIX based technologies in our main data center where our central MII instance will run, in our plants the preference seems to be for Wintel technologies. Does anybody know of any caveats, watch outs or else around running MII in a hybrid architecture with a Solarix Unix based head of the hybrid architecture and the legs being run on Wintel?
Thanks for your help

Architectural question

Little architectural question: why is all the stuff that is needed to render a page put into the constructor of a backing bean? Why is there no beforeRender method, analogous to the afterRenderResponse method? That method can then be called if and only if a page has to be rendered. It seems to me that an awful lot of resources are waisted this way.
Reason I bring up this question is that I have to do a query in the constructor in a page backing bean. Every time the backing bean is created the query is executed, including when the page will not be rendered in the browser...

Every time the backing bean is created the query is
executed, including when the page will not be
rendered in the browser...This is definitely a valid concern. In Creator releases prior to Update 6 of the Reef release, however, there were use cases when the beforeRenderResponse method would not actually get called (the most important one being when you navigated to a new page, which is a VERY common use case :-).
If you are using Update 6 or later, as a side effect of other bug fixes that were included, the beforeRenderResponse method is reliably called every time, so you can put your pre-rendering logic in this method instead of in the constructor. However, there is still a wrinkle to be aware of -- if you navigate from one page to another, the beforeRenderResponse of both the "from" and "to" pages will be executed. You will need to add some conditional logic to ensure that you only perform your setup work if this is the page that is actually going to be rendered (hint: call FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().getViewId() to get the context relative path to the page that will actually be displayed).
One might argue, of course, that this is the sort of detail that an application should not need to worry about, and one would be absolutely correct. This usability issue will be dealt with in an upcoming Creator release.

Basic recording/feedback question

I'm recording basic vocals against accompaniment tracks using an APOGEE ONE and Audio-Technica 40 series AT8449 condenser mic. I use only headphones, no external speakers.
If I record with "monitoring" on I constantly battle feedback/distortion, especially on songs with a wide dynamic range. When the feedback protection kicks in the message indicates that I'm getting feedback through my external speakers (which I don't have), I can minimize the problem by turning "monitoring" off but I lose the reference vocal. I know I must be overlooking something very simple. Any help is appreciated.

Basic PDF/SSL Question

Okay, I know this is a basic question, and I'm not sure if this is really where I should be posting it, but maybe someone out there has experience with this.
I have a PDF form sitting on a secure server. I have it set up to email the completed PDF back to our company when the user clicks the SUBMIT buttton. Whether or not the PDF is secure coming back to us would be dependent on the email server the user uses - not that the form sits in a secure area on our server or that the PDF is security settings are set, correct?
Any input appreciated.
Thanks

Basic wifi service question

basic wifi service question
A Windows-using friend of mine subscribes to a service from Verizon that is sort of like a cell phone for a computer - wifi service that you can access from theoretically anywhere, for something like $60 a month -
as far as I can determine, one CAN get this for Mac but ONLY if you have a 15 or 17 inch laptop with PC slots - unless I am missing something. It requires a special kyocera card.
Another company, T-Mobile, offers a similar service, but with no MAC access at all.
So my question is: is there a similar service, wi-fi access theoretically anywhere (or even just anywhere in New York City) ? Hopefully with just the regular mac airport card and not any additional special hardware?
Thanks!
Will

Hello WillFriedwald2
The kind of service your describing is probably a 3G and GPRS service.
Phone companies now offer mobile high speed connections using EDGE technology or GPRS2 and supply a 3G or GPRS PCMCIA card.
However some companies are now offering a package whereby you get high speed 3g and gprs and also wifi.
So to use this service on a laptop that has no PC card slot you need to get a 3G or GPRS2 phone that supports blue tooth then you can connect your laptop to the phone over bluetooth and therefore access high speed internet.
But if you had a desktop mac such as a G5 you would be better just getting a regular cable or dsl connection in your home and invest in a wireless router.

Basic JDBC transactional question

Hello all,
I have (what I believe) is a basic transactional JDBC question.
Here's what I want to do:
begin transaction
select a row from a table where (some condition).
that row may or may not exist.
if the row exists: update the row
else if the row does not exist, insert a new row
end transaction
I want this entire thing to be atomic .. I don't want the select to complete, then have something else come in there before the update/insert takes place.
I'm using MySQL .. I seem to remember hearing about some proprietary MySQL command which would do a SELECT + UPDATE atomically .. which would be fine, but I can't find it.
Wrapping this with a row-level lock would be fine too .. I'm just not sure how to do that in JDBC.
Thanks!
-d

By thte way, and not that it helps the orignal poster, who's using MySQL, but Oracle has a proprietary MERGE statement that does "insert or update" in one go. For example:
MERGE INTO bonuses D
   USING (SELECT employee_id, salary, department_id FROM employees
   WHERE department_id = 80) S
   ON (D.employee_id = S.employee_id)
   WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET D.bonus = D.bonus + S.salary*.01
     DELETE WHERE (S.salary > 8000)
   WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT (D.employee_id, D.bonus)
     VALUES (S.employee_id, S.salary*0.1)
     WHERE (S.salary <= 8000);

Architecture Question...brain teasing !

Hi,
I have a architecture question in grid control. So far Oracle Support hasnt been able to figure out.
I have two management servers M1 and M2.
two VIP's(Virtual IP's) V1 and V2
two Agents A1 and A2
the scenerio
M1 ----> M2
| |
V1 V2
| |
A1 A2
Repository at M1 is configured as Primary and sends archive logs to M2. On the failover, I have it setup to make M2 as primary repository and all works well !
Under normal conditions, A1 talks to M1 thru V1 and A2 talks to M2 thru V2. No problem so far !
If M1 dies, and V1 forwards A1 to M2 or
if M2 dies, V2 forwards A2 to M1
How woudl this work.
I think (havent tried it yet) but what if i configure the oms'es with same username and registration passwords and copy all the wallets from M1 to M2
and A1 to A2 and just change V1 to V2. Would this work ????
please advice!!

SLB is not an option for us here !
Can we just repoint all A1 to M2 using DNS CNAME change ??

Inheritance architecture question

Hello,
I've an architecture question.
We have different types of users in our system, normal users, company "users", and some others.
In theory they all extend the normal user. But I've read alot about performance issues using join based inheritance mapping.
How would you suggest to design this?
Expected are around 15k normal users, a few hundred company users, and even a few hundred of each other user type.
Inheritance mapping? Which type?
No inheritance and append all attributes to one class (and leave these not used by the user-type null)?
Other ways?
thanks
Dirk

sorry dude, but there is only one way you are going to answer your question: research it. And that means try it out. Create a simple prototype setup where you have your inheritance structure and generate 15k of user data in it - then see what the performance is like with some simple test cases. Your prototype could be promoted to be the basis of the end product if the results or satisfying. If you know what you are doing this should only be a couple of hours of work - very much worth your time because it is going to potentially save you many refactoring hours later on.
You may also want to experiment with different persistence providers by the way (Hibernate, Toplink, Eclipselink, etc.) - each have their own way to implement the same spec, it may well be that one is more optimal than the other for your specific problem domain.
Remember: you are looking for a solution where the performance is acceptable - don't waste your time trying to find the solution that has the BEST performance.
