Best practices for Calling Multiple Business Services in OSB

Hi All,
I have a requirement where I need to call multiple business services in OSB. We are presently calling them sequentially in a proxy pipeline. I was wondering if we could accomplish the same task in a better way. Each of the business services are mutually exclusive.
Thanks in Advance,
Rudraksh

Hi Eric,
Thanks for the response. We figured that it is possible to call multiple services with Split Join. However, we ran into the issue you described. We had a blocking call and had to wait until each of the services returned a response.
However, we needed a Async model for our design and felt that this might not be a right fit.
We are now looking at implementing the publish option with QoS configured as this fits our usecase better. Thanks for the help again.

Best Practice for using multiple models

Hi Buddies,
     Can u tell me the best practices for using multiple models in single WD application?
    Means --> I am using 3 RFCs on single application for my function. Each time i am importing that RFC model under
    WD --->Models and i did model binding seperately to Component Controller. Is this is the right way to impliment multiple            models in single application ?

It very much depends on your design, but One RFC per model is definitely a no no.
Refer to this document to understand how should you use the model in most efficient way.

Best practice for running multiple sites on 1 CF install?

Hi-
I'm setting up a new hosting environment (Windows Server 2008 Standard 64 bit VPS configuration, MySQL, IIS 7, CF 9)
Has anyone seen any docs or can anyone suggest best practices for configuring multiple sites in this environment? At this point I'm thinking simple is best, one new site in IIS for each client (domain) and point it to CF.
Given this environment, is anyone aware of any gotchas within the setup of CF 9 on IIS 7?
Thank you in advance,
Rich

There's nothing wrong with that approach. You can run as many IIS sites as you like against a single CF install.
As for installing CF on IIS 7, I recommend that you do the following: install CF 9 without connecting it to IIS, then installing the 9.0.1 upgrade and any hotfixes, then connecting CF to IIS using the web server configuration utility. This will keep you from having to install the IIS 6 compatibility layer that's needed with CF 9 but not with CF 9.0.1.

Best Practices for FSCM Multiple systems scenario

Hi guys,
We have a scenario to implement FSCM credit, collections and dispute management solution for our landscape comprising the following:
a 4.6c system
a 4.7 system
an ECC 5 system
2 ECC6 systems
I have documented my design, but would like to double check and rob minds with colleagues regarding the following areas/questions.
Business partner replication and synchronization: what is the best practice for the initial replication of customers in each of the different systems to business partners in the FSCM system? (a) for the initial creation, and (b) for on-going synchronization of new customers and changes to existing customers?
Credit Management: what is the best practice for update of exposures from SD and FI-AR from each of the different systems? Should this be real-time for each transaction from SD and AR (synchronous) or periodic, say once a day? (assuming we can control this in the BADI)
Is there any particular point to note in dispute management?
Any other general note regarding this scenario?
Thanks in advance. Comments appreciated.

Hi,
I guess when you've the informations that the SAP can read and take some action, has to be asynchronous (from non-SAP to FSCM);
But when the credit analysis is done by non-SAP and like an 'Experian', SAP send the informations with invoices paid and not paid and this non-SAP group give a rate for this customer. All banks and big companies in the world does the same. And for this, you've the synchronous interface. This interface will updated the FSCM-CR (Credit), blocking or not the vendor, decreasing or increasing them limit amount to buy.
So, for these 1.000 sales orders, you'll have to think with PI in how to create an interface for this volume? What parameters SAP does has to check? There's an time interval to receive and send back? Will be a synchronous or asynchronous?
Contact your PI to help think in this information exchange.
Am I clear in your question?

OSB example calling multiple business services using a single proxy service???

Hi,
I have three business services created using http urls i.e.
1. LoginBS
2. GetListBS
3. LogoutBS
My requirement is to get a list of names from GetListBS using a single proxy service and to call GetListBS I have to first call LoginBS then GetListBS i.e. after authentication and then finally logout.
Kindly help with a detailed example for this and I am new to OSB.
Thanks,
Vik

OSB call multiple Business Services and combine the responses into one

Dear All,
I am new to OSB and I have a use case that I need to solve. I have 3 web services and I imported their WSDLs into OSB and created 3 Business Services that goes with each WSDL. The scenario is like this.
Business Service 1: takes an input value as [Region] and returns a list of employee names.
Business Service 2: takes the list of employee names and returns the list of employee names with their job profile
Business Service 3: takes the list of employee names with their job profile and returns their contact information.
I need to return the result of Business Service 3 to the consumer. The consumer basically need to call the Proxy service with [Region] as the input value and the result should be the output of above Business service 3.
As I mentioned, I have WSDL for all the 3 Business Services, but, I do not have the WSDL for the Proxy Service. The Business Service WSDLs are all different and they do not match.
My question is it possible to achieve the above result without having a concrete WSDL for Proxy Service? Also, how can I go about solving this use case. I have gone through some articles that talk about Split-Join, and am really lost.
I really appreciate your kind reply on this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Syama

You have multiple options:
1. Create a WSDL which has input similar to input of WS1 (only Region as input) and an output similar to output of WS3.
Create Proxy Service based on this WSDL. Then call all the thee business services one after the other and doing transformations/assigns as needed after each call. Finally map the result of BS3 to the similar output of your new WSDL on which the Proxy service is based.
2. Create an Any XML type of web service. Create a schema which has two elements, one for input and one for output. Input containing only Region and output containing all the details. All consumers need to send request according to input defined in schema and expect output defined in schema. Its similar to creating the WSDL but can be used in case your consumer do not want to call a Web Service but want to call an XML API over HTTP. Rest will be same as option 1.
Split join is needed to make calls in parallel, it wont be usable in your use case unless you expect a list og regions in the same request for each of which you need to gather same information by calling three services.

Best practice for calling stored procedures as target

The scenario is this:
1) Source is from a file or oracle table
2) Target will always be oracle pl/sql stored procedures which do the insert or update (APIs).
3) Each failure from the stored procedure must log an error so the user can re-submit the corrected file for those error records
There is no option to create an E$ table, since there is no control option for the flow around procedures.
Is there a best practice around moving data into Oracle via procedures? In Oracle EBS, many of the interfaces are pure stored procs and not batch interface tables. I am concerned that I must build dozens of custom error tables around these apis. Then it feels like it would be easier to just write pl/sql batch jobs and schedule with concurrent manager in EBS (skip ODI completely). In that case, one could write to the concurrent manager log and the user could view the errors and correct.
I can get a simple procedure to work in ODI where the source is the SQL, and the target is the pl/sql call to the stored proc in the database. It loops through every row in the sql source and calls the pl/sql code.
But I can not see how to set which rows have failed and which table would log errors to begin with.
Thank you,
Erik

Hi Erik,
Please, take a look in these posts:
http://odiexperts.com/?p=666
http://odiexperts.com/?p=742
They could help you in a way to solve your problem.
I already used it to call Oracle EBS API's and worked pretty well.
I believe that an IKM could be build to automate all the work but I never stopped to try...
Does it help you?

Best practice for calling application module methods and plsql code

In my application I am experiencing problems with connection pooling, I seem to be using a lot of connections in my application when only a few users are using the system. As part of our application we need to call database procedures for business logic.
Our backing beans, call methods on the application module which in turn call a database procedure. For instance in the backing bean we have code like this to call the application module method.
// Calling Module to generate new examination/test.
CIGAppModuleImpl appMod = (CIGAppModuleImpl)Configuration.createRootApplicationModule("ky.gov.exam.model.CIGAppModule", "CIGAppModuleLocal");
String testId = appMod.createTest( userId, examId, centerId).toString();
AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getPageFlowScope().put("tid",testId);
// Close the call
System.out.println("Calling releaseRootApplicationModule remove");
Configuration.releaseRootApplicationModule(appMod, true);
System.out.println("Completed releaseRootApplicationModule remove");
return returnResult;
In the application module method we have the following code.
System.out.println("CIGAppModuleImpl: Call the database and use the value from the iterator");
CallableStatement cs = null;
try{
cs = getDBTransaction().createCallableStatement("begin ? := macilap.user_admin.new_test_init(?,?,?); end;", 0);
cs.registerOutParameter(1, Types.NUMERIC);
cs.setString(2, p_userId);
cs.setString(3, p_examId);
cs.setString(4, p_centerId);
cs.executeUpdate();
returnResult=cs.getInt(1);
System.out.println("CIGAppModuleImpl.createTest: Return Result is " + returnResult);
}catch (SQLException se){
throw new JboException(se);
finally {
if (cs != null) {
try {
cs.close();
catch (SQLException s) {
throw new JboException(s);
I have read in one of Steve Muench presentations (Oracle Fusion Applications Team' Best Practises) that calling the createRootApplicationModule method is a bad idea, and to call the method via the binding interface.
I am assuming calling the createRootApplicationModule uses much more resources and database connections that calling the method through the binding interface such as
BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
OperationBinding ob = bindings.getOperationBinding("customMethod");
Object result = ob.execute()
Is this the case? Also is using getDBTransaction().createCallableStatement the best way of calling database procedures. Would it be better to expose plsql packages as webservices and then call them from the applicationModule. Is this more efficient?
Regards
Orlando

Thanks Shay, this is now working.
I successfully got the binding to the application method in the pagedef.
I used the following code in my backing bean.
package view.backing;
import oracle.binding.BindingContainer;
import oracle.binding.OperationBinding;
public class Testdatabase {
private DCBindingContainer bindingContainer;
public void setBindingContainer (DCBindingContainer bc) {this.bindingContainer = bc;}
public DCBindingContainer getBindingContainer() {return bindingContainer;}
public static String validateUser()
// Calling Module to validate user and return user role details.
System.out.println("Getting Binding Container from Home Backing Bean");
BindingContainer bindings = BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
System.out.println("Obtain binding");
OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("calldatabase");
System.out.println("Set username parameter");
operationBinding.getParamsMap().put("p_userId",userId);
System.out.println("Set password parameter");
operationBinding.getParamsMap().put("p_testId",examId);
Object result = operationBinding.execute();
System.out.println("Obtain result");
String userRole = result.toString();
System.out.println("Result is "+userRole);
}

Best Practice for calling CFC

Hi,
In a web application, if I need to call a CFC method from a different CFC, what would be considered as the best way of doing it?
For example, let's say I have two components: Customer and Product. From a method functionA in Customer, I would like to call functionB in Product. I can do one of the following, but which way is best practice and why?
1. Create a Product object in functionA, and use it to call functionB
<cfcomponent name="Customer">
     <cffunction name="functionA">
          <cfset productObj = createObject('component', 'Product')>
          <cfset productObj.functionB()>
     </cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
2. Pass a Product object when we initialize a Customer object, and use that to call functionB
<cfcomponent name="Customer">
     <cffunction name="init">
          <cfargument name="productObj">
          <cfset variables.productObj = arguments.productObj>
     </cffunction>
     <cffunction name="functionA">
          <cfset variables.productObj.functionB()>
     </cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
3. Assume that Customer object has access to the Product object in the application scope
<cfcomponent name="Customer">
     <cffunction name="functionA">
          <cfset application.productObj.functionB()>
     </cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
Thank you very much.

The first two are fine. If the CFC being called is always gonna be the exact same one, then there's no prob directly referencing it in the calling CFC. If the CFC could vary, then pass it in.
If you're only using the CFC transiently, then you could use <cfinvoke> as well in this case.
Directly accessing an application-scoped CFC within a method is poor practice.

Best practices for deploying common object services

Hi,
Our team has broken out from our main application around 10 services that largely are used to return objects from 10 common tables in the database. We are thinking that these services should be reusable amongst the 5 or so applications that we are going to have in the near future. We're now trying to decide what the best way to make these common services available to the applications is and after considering several ideas, these are the options we've come up with:
1. Putting jars for all of the services in each application and adding entries to the sessions.xml for any Toplink project mappings that are in the jar files. Also are considering having just one many services jar.
2. Exposing the services through web services and only giving the client apps the client side code to invoke the web service. Realize this may mean a performance hit, but would mean less code on the client.
3. Stateless session EJB's.
4. parent-application tag or some other way to make these jar's be available to all applications on the app server through classloading
5. Some sort of messaging service
Would appreciate some input on this, as this seems like it would be a fairly common problem.
Thanks,
Mark

Is this good idea to put RPM recovery catalog & OID schema in OEM Repository DB? I am thinking just to consolidate all these schema's in one db.Unless you are really starved for resources, I would not recommend storing the OID and OEM repositories in the same database. Both of these repositories support different products, and you risk creating unnecessary dependencies when patching or upgrading. As a completely fictitious example, what if your OID installation has a critical issue that requires a repository database upgrade to version 10.2.0.6, and the Grid Control repository database is only certified for version 10.2.0.5?

Best practice for calling an AM method with parameters

Which will be the best way to call an AM method with parameters from a backing bean.
I usually use the BindingContainer to get the operation binding and then call execute function. But when the method have parameters, how to do it?
Thanks

Hi,
same:
operationBinding.getParamMap().put("argument1Name", argument1Value);
operationBinding.getParamMap().put("argument2Name", argument2Value);

Calling Secured Business Service from OSB

Hi,
I am trying to call a Service which is secured.
the Request SOAP message is like :
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"

I have created a business service and attached the service to Proxy service.
I am new to OSB.I am unable to change the header data.In the forums i found couple of responses pointing to create
Policy file or creating service account which were not clear to me.Dear expert , please guide me what exactly need to be done in this case.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Chandra

hi,
Finally i have done it with the help of documentation.
solution is :
In the service configuration --> Policy -->select OWSM policy bindings (your domain should be configured with OWSM extention))
select predefined oracle/wss_username_token_client_policy from in the OWSM configuration window
next login to the em console: http://localhost:7001/em
In the left hand side pane Go to Weblogic Domain -> select <your domain name>
In the central pallete Weblogic Domain drop down goto secutiry --> Credentials.
Here create a map with name : oracle.wsm.security (if not exists)
Create a key by selecting the map as :oracle.wsm.security
Key name : Sample_KEY
Type : password
Username: The username you are expecting in the soap header
Password: The password you are expecting in the soap header
Now go back to your service configuration -> Policy -> select the policy that you have added.
there you can see the properties button enabled.click on it...
there for the default_value = basic_credentials give the over_ride value as Sample_KEY (the key name you have mapped to the map)

What is best practice for calling XI Services with Web Dynpro-Java?

We are trying to expose XI services to Web Dynpro via "Web Services". Our XI developers have successfully generated the WSDL file(s) for their XI services and handed off to the Web Dynpro developers.
The Java developers put the WSDL file to their local PC's and import as "Adaptive Web Services" data models. When the application is constructed and deployed to our development box, the application abends because the J2EE server on that box cannot locate the WSDL file at runtime (it was on the developers box at, say, "C:\temp\" and that directory does not exist on the dev server).
Since XI does not have a way of directly associating the generated WSDL file to the XI service, where is the best place to put the WSDL so it is readable at design time and at run time? Also, how do we reconcile that we'll have 3 WSDL files for each service (one for Dev, one for QA and one for Prod) and how is the model in Web Dynpro configured so it gets the right ome?
Does anyone have any good guide on how to do this? Have found plenty of "how to consume a Web Service in Web Dynpro" docs on SDN, but these XI services are not really traditional Web Services so the instructions break down when it comes time to deploy.

HI Bob,
As sometimes when you create a model using a local wsdl file then instead of refering to URL mentioned in wsdl file it refers to say, "C:\temp" folder from where you picked up that file. you can check target address of logical port. Due to this when you deploy application on server it try to search it in "c:\temp" path instead of it path specified at soap:address location in wsdl file.
Best way is re-import your Adaptive Web Services model using the URL specified in wsdl file as soap:address location.
like http://<IP>:<PORT>/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel<xirequest>
or you can ask you XI developer to give url for webservice and username password of server
