Not Able to Uninstall Oracle BPEL and SOA Suite

Cannot Delete OLITE40.jar file from //product/10.1.3.1/Oracleapps/Mobile/Sdk/BIN

I have seen cases, where it also leave this file unremoved even after running the uninstaller successfully.
Do not worry about it, instead just delete all the other files in the home, remove registry keys, delete the service with command : sc del <service name>(in Windows).
Then restart your machine, then try deleting the file. Now, go ahead and install in a new location. Also, please ensure that you have taken a backup of your oracle inventory location whiich can be restored if corrupted in future. Also, suggest not to use SOA basic install with olite, rather go for SOA Adv install with DB.

SOA Suite 10g and SOA Suite 11g? what are the major changes in these two?

Hi Experts,
I am keen in knowing about Soa Suite 11g. SOA Suite 10g and SOA Suite 11g, BPEL changes? what are the major changes in these two product/tool wise? Is now OSB is part of Soa Suite 11g? it would be helpful for us to know what are the major changes and updates or modifications came in 11g.
Please share this valuable information.
Is there still any version is in progress from Oracle, which is yet to be officially launched from oracle?

what are the major changes in these two product/tool wise? Few major changes to enlist are that SOA suite 10g was using Oracle Application Server (OC4J) however 11g is on Weblogic and 11g is based on SCA. B2B is now part of SOA suite itself and OSB can share a domain with SOA. You may refer below link to know few more -

Is now OSB is part of Soa Suite 11g? OSB has a separate installer but can share a domain with SOA and SOA-direct binding is also supported now. Refer below link to know more about new features in OSB 11g -

How to Deploy 11g Forms and EBS Applications?

Dear All,
Just need to know some technical information regarding EBS.
Previously I have worked with Oracle forms and reports 6i and we used to deploy the application developed in this tool to publish using Application Server 9i/10g. I also have hands on experience on that.
Now after 4 years I am again trying to do some hands-on on later versions.
Just want to know that for Developer Suite 10g, If i developer the application it will be published using Application Server 10g? so that the user can access this application?
How EBS application is host and published?
Will really appreciate your kind help.
Thanks, Imran

Webcenter and ebs R12 integration

Hi,
We are having trouble with integration of WebCenter 11g PS3 with Oracle E-Business suite R12.1 in some of our ebs environments.
The step to set up E-Business suite portlet connection >WebCenter > Settings > Service Configuration > Portlet Producers > WRSP Producer failed with errors like :
Failed imports exist for producer /oracle/adf/portlet/E-Business Suite WSRP Producer_383c5156-9596-4eeb-a005-8b218dc41c33 which is currently not registered in this application.
A request to the producer URL "http://<host>:<port>/OA_HTML/portlets/WSRPServiceDescriptionService" resulted in a status 500 response with fault string "Internal Server Error (Caught exception while handling request: oracle.webdb.wsrp.server.ContainerRuntimeException: An internal error has occurred in method ConsumerRegistration.<init>())". The fault code given was "{http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Server".
The attempt to register the producer with ID '{1}' for connection '/oracle/adf/portlet/E-Business Suite WSRP Producer_10ce66f7-704f-4512-be60-f297896a6eee' failed.
Also, tried with WLS command - same errors
wls:/ecm_domain/serverConfig> registerWSRPProducer('webcenter', 'E-Business Suite WSRP Producer', 'http://<host>:<port>/OA_HTML/portlets/WSRPBaseService?WSDL', timeout=100, server='WC_Spaces')
It basically timeout. If timeout increases, it takes longer to hit the same error.
This error is only occurring with setting connection to ebs running 2 apps nodes and on RAC database on 2 db servers. Anyone has integrated with ebs with RAC db and multiple apps servers successfully ? If so, what version of Webcenter and ebs ? I've logged an SR and has not progressed much in the last week or two.
I am not sure if this is the right forum, pls let me know if there are any other appropriate forum for this.
Thanks in adv,
Mary

BPEL PM, BPM, BPEL in SOA Suite - what's the diff?

Hi
I read many blogs, one blog says all are same, other says each is diff. I've got some idea on what each of these offers. But pls clarify.
I'm really confused of the terminology that oracle uses for BPEL PM, BPM, BPEL in SOA Suite.
I'm aware of BPEL that comes with the SOA Suite installation, we develop, deploy and maintain BPEL flows using JDev.
Now, what's this BPEL Process Manager, that is listed in the products section, seperately from SOA Suite? Does it contain anything diff from the BPEL engine that is embedded in SOA Suite?
And What's Business Process Management(BPM). As far as i know, and could think of, is that BPM is a tool for modelling business applications. It is similar to the BPEL in SOA Suite PLUS Modelling capability of the business process. It even has the same components as in SOA SUite like BPEL, Business Rules, Human Flows, Mediators, Adaptors.
So, can we say, BPM = SOA Suite + Modelling capabilities of business process.
To summarise, would you please summarise the components that each of these provide
BPEL Process Manager -- BPEL, _(and what other componens)_
SOA SUite -- BPEL, Bus. Rules, Human Flows, Mediators, Adapters
BPM -- Modelling notations, BPEL, Bus. Rules, Human Flows, Mediators, Adapters
If BPEL exists in all the three, Is the engine that runs it also the same one in all three..?

Hi
1. Yes, your understanding is absolutely correct: BPM = SOA Suite + Modelling capabilities of business process. I hope you know little bit of history behind this BPM product and about BEA and Oracle company. Below is some non-technical information about these companies and the products they owned.
2. Originally I guess, Oracle had SOA Suite like 10g running on their own Oracle application server. It may have had some basic components like human tasks, mediators some basic business rules etc. During the same time around 2006 to 2008 another company by name BEA has Weblogic Application Server and had another full blown process development applications/software. BEA in turn bought from Plumtree like that. Anyhow they had full stack of products like ALBPM (Aqua Logic Business Process Management), ALUI (Aqua Logic UI Portal), ALDSP (Data Integrator), ALSB (AL Service Bus), ALES (AL Enterprise Security) etc. Then Oracle bought BEA Company and Oracle ended up owning all these products. Oracle spent good amount of money, people and technology and did an awesome job in integrating BEAs ALBPM with their own SOA software and put everything on top of Weblogic Application Server. For a while, soa and bpm existed parallely. Like we can install albpm on top of soa like that. But SOA 11g onwards SOA + BPM are completely integrated and provided as a single product. They are not separate any more. We can call that as SOA Suite or BPM Suite. But as you understand, they had all the stuff to create a full blown process application that includes core BPEL Process, tasks, mediators, adapters, email adapters everything. Customers buy this suite of produt. They can develop simple BPEL Process or complex BPM Applications. The advanced features for BPM you can find online like adding Swimlanes/Roles where we can literally drag and drop the Human Tasks in those roles and that takes care of everything.
Oracle retained and rebranded other products like ALSB (Oracle Service Bus), ALES (something like identity management) etc .
In conclusion, your understanding is correct. Now there is only BPM or SOA (use any word) that includes everything and that runs on Weblogic Application Server.

Deployment of BPEL (and ESB) into Clustered Environment

Hi All,
I was after any view points / pointers into peoples experiences into deployment of BPEL and ESB into a clustered Oracle iAS SOA suite environment, where there are two or more nodes running BPEL, ESB etc with a corresponding OHS Loan Balancers. I have been unable to find any specific information with regards to recommendations into the best ways to deploy into a clustered environment.
My viewpoints are there are two alternative approaches that could be used, both of which use ANT deployment scripts to register / deploy the various services.
(1) Leaving all nodes up in the cluster and using a properties file to specify the relevant details, deploy to one environment allowing the load balancer to distribute the software to the respective nodes in the cluster
(2) Deploy to each of the nodes in turn ensuring all other nodes in the cluster are taken down during each separate deployment
What are other peoples thoughts / experiences / recommendations?
Thanks in Advance
Dave

I don't believe there is any real information on deployments in a cluster in those documents.
There is a note on metalink 457654.1 which says to apply to each node, while doing this shut down the other servers. From experience this worked for some configuration and not others.
Can you say what cluster deployment you used, e.g. 10.1.3.1 or 10.1.3.3 with BPEL and ESB-RT in the same oc4j?
Also what version are you on. If you are on 10.1.3.4 using the 10.1.3.3 deployment configuration you don't need to shutdown the nodes. And you can get away with just deploying to one node but make sure your <ORACLE_HOME>/bpel/system/config/collaxa-config.xml file has been set to cluster = true. Look at metalink note 746251.1.
You can experience the notorious Process Lock Timeout Error when not shutdown cleanly but this is resolved using the best practice guide http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/soa/soa-suite-best-practices/soa_best_practices_1013x_drop1.pdf
ESB can be applied to just one node.
Make sure that all your endpoints are pointing to the load balancer and not the actual node themselves.
Also you connect string is different in your build.properties make sure of the following
cluster = true
oc4jinstancename = default_group
local.oc4jinstancename = oc4j_soa (or the oc4j container with BPEL)
esb
deployer.uri=deployer:cluster:opmn://hostname:opmn port/default_group

DB vault and ebs R12

Hi All,
i am in the process of implementing database vault 11gR1 and ebs r12 12.1.1 in our test environment and like to know if anyone has implemented EBS r12 with the Vault before.

BPEL and BI Publisher

Is it possible to call a BI Publisher report from BPEL process when using last versions of BI and SOA-suite (10.1.3.4).
If yes - I will appreciate for working example.

Java Embedingin BPEL of SOA suite 11g

Hi,
To remove namespace of a soap element we are using java embedding in BPEL of SOA suite 11g.
Added related libraries in jdev project properties and deployed to generate a sar while.
When i am trying to deploy this SAR through em console to SOA server following error is diasplayed.
Deploying on "/Farm_SOA_domain/SOA_domain/soa_server1" ...
Deploying on "/Farm_SOA_domain/SOA_domain/soa_server1" failed!
Error during deployment: Error occurred during deployment of component: CallOIM to service engine: implementation.bpel for composite: SOAComposite1: ORABPEL-01005
Failed to compile bpel generated classes.
failure to compile the generated BPEL classes for BPEL process "CallOIM" of composite "default/SOAComposite1!55*91c4a2eb-240d-4a6f-968c-fa7ff516ef51".
The class path setting is incorrect.
Ensure that the class path is set correctly. If this happens on the server side verify that the custom classes or jars which this BPEL process is depending on are deployed correctly. Also verify that the run time is using the same release/version.
jars are deployed properly on the server. Any pointers on the same will be more helpful.
Thanks,
Sowmya

I haven't done it in 11g but I'm sure it is the same.
you need to import the java classes. to do this add the following to you .bpel source code
<bpelx:exec import="java.util.*"/>
<bpelx:exec import="java.lang.*"/>
<bpelx:exec import="java.math.*"/>
place it between the lines:
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<!--
PARTNERLINKS
e.g.
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<bpelx:exec import="java.util.*"/>
<bpelx:exec import="java.lang.*"/>
<bpelx:exec import="java.math.*"/>
<!--
PARTNERLINKS
Also from memory the System.out.println never worked for me, or it printed in the logs which wasn't helpful. What you can do is assign it to another variable, e.g.
String input = (String)getVariableData("InputSring");
setVariableData("OutputSring",input);
OutputString is my variable defined in BPEL.

Best way to keep PeopleSoft and EBS in sync

Hello,
My company is running EBS 11.5.10. We were just purchased by a larger company that is running PeopleSoft and JD Edwards. Our HR/Payroll is going to be pulled from EBS and moved to their PeopleSoft instance. However, we still have our CRM suite that will continue running in EBS, as well as IDM, workflows etc. that still need to function after our companies merge. Those processes need to have updated HR data in EBS, such as hierarchy, job titles, etc. So we need to keep the data in sync between PeopleSoft, which will be the system of record for HR data, and our EBS suite.
Does anyone have suggestions on the best way to do that?
Thanks,
Johnnie

If HR information in EBS is used only in purchasing then going forward, you need to maintain only a small amount of data in EBS.
You will have to keep people, positions, position assignments in sync.
If you use emp-supervisor hierarchy, then you need to keep the following in sync
employee's supervisors
If you use position based hierarchy, then you need to keep the following in sync
employee positions
I assume that the approval groups and approval group assignment will remain in Oracle.
You may also have to keep employee locations, default expense a/c if you use that for requisitions.
If PSFT is going to maintain the financials , then you have a bigger task onhand.
Hope this helps,
Sandeep Gandhi

Add a OBIEE Dashboard Link in EBS Suite

Hi
How can i add an OBIEE URL link in EBS Suite application so that when a user
clicks on it it takes them to the dasboard page in OBIEE.
Thanks

As you said directly with read permissions the dashboard link doesnt appear because that is rendered through administartor.
You have got it when you added to "Presentation Administrator group" i.e because the server side will handle all the possibilities and the permissions on it.
create your own catalog group again and name it and then after that checkout you have given the right dashboard name and dont leave the dashboard builder empty..Fill it up with Administrator and the user you want to give access then add members to the group and give them the neccessary permissions so that would give them access.
Hope it helps you.
Best Wishes,
Kranthi.

Jdeveloper with BPEL and OA Extension.

Hi,
Can someone point me to the right download and version of JDeveloper for BPEL and OA Extensions together.
Thanks,
--KC.

Yes,
You need to have separate versions. Check the metalink Note 416708.1 - How to find the correct version of JDeveloper to use with eBusiness Suite 11i or Release 12.
For BPEL related dependency, check the help docs of process manager installed on your application server.

Which is faster ESB or BPEL and why?

Hi,
Can anybody please tell me which is faster, either ESB or BPEL? I believe ESB is more faster than BPEL due to the message payload in BPEL not ESB.
It would be great if anybody can put some info on this plz.
Cheers!

You are considering only performance as the criteria for choosing between two products which have different purposes which is not the right way to go about it. Lets consider(just an assumption, might not be true) that BPEL is faster for a flow which requires simple routing/mediation to a back end service, even then you should ideally use OSB for that flow/service rather then doing it on BPEL.
If you have to consider only performance then its my understanding that OSB would be faster then BPEL for simple routing.
Architecture of both OSB and SOA Suite/BPEL is different, OSB is optimized for short running, fast and stateless services while BPEL is optimized for long running and stateful processes.
