BPEL and Oracle 8

Are other people out there using BPEL with Oracle 8?
BPEL seems to only barely support Oracle 8 (Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.2.0) e.g.
with oracle 8, BPEL requires a database procedure to be owned by schema owner before it can be used in BPEL ... I don't think this is the case with BPEL and oracle 9
with orace 8, the retry ability as per bpel.xml can have some retry schedule extra retry due to socket read error .. (works eventually)
with oracle 8, you have to manually alter toplink setting to pick up date and time rather than just date ... this is not the case with BPEL and oracle 9
i.e. you can make BPEL work with Oracle 8 but it takes some doing!!

Can you use WebLogic 8.1 SP4 ? BPEL has been certified with that version. We have been able to reproduce the issue and currently investigating the cause of it.

BPEL and Oracle Portal

Hello.
At the moment i try to find a beginning how to display Values from Oracle BPEL Process Manager to Oracle Portal. I would like to use Portlet Specification JSR-168, if it is possible.
For a better understanding: here is a detailed description of the task i try to do:
I have a BPEL Process which uses values via WebService. These values will be modified in the BPEL Process. After the values are modified, they should be displayed in Oracle Portal.
I have installed an Infrastructure, Middle Tier (Portal&Wireless) and Oracle BPEL PM for Middle Tier on a Virtual Machine. At my local PC I installed BPEL PM for Developers to develop BPEL Processes.
I don't find a beginning to display the Values in Oracle Portal... ;)
Can anyone help me or give me a hint to find a beginning?
P.S.: If you don't have an idea about my problem but you
know a guy who might be know sth about it, please
contact me. Althoug if my question is not clear
enough, please contact me, because it is very
important for me.
Thanks a lot!

Hi all,
Sorry to disturb but I really need help on this, has anybody deployed BPEL portlets 10.1.3 or has anybody developed a portlet with the 10.1.3 workflow services API on Oracle Portal?
All help will be appreciated.. Thanks in advance..

BPEL and Oracle 11.x Applications?

Oracle Applications 11.0.3, 11.5.9, and 11.5.10 - are there any issues with using them with BPEL? What needs to be done to connect these apps to a 10.1.2.0.2 BPELPM, where are the adapters?
Thanks - Ken Cooper

you can do 2 things
a) use BES (events) and publish over to a queue, where BPEL is listening or
b) use the Oracle Applications Adapter to connect over ..

BPEL and Oracle financials Integration

Hi there,
we're at the beginning of scoping an integration project and I'm trying to get a handle on what options we have for integration with Oracle Financials. I've been referred to the BPEL Process Mgr - does anyone know of its abilities to integrate with Financials ? Does it use a JCA ? What other integration options do I have ? All help appreciated...
TIA,
aidan

The Oracle Applications adapter is installed as part of the base install, allthough licensed seperately. Adapters to other packaged applications (SAP, Peoplesoft etc) are seperate installs (and also licensed seperately).
The Oracle apps (Ebusiness Suite) adapter uses the common interface points of the applications to interface with them, and expose them in a friendly format, allowing you to browse the available modules and functions and select which ones you want to use in your BPEL process.

Integration BPEL and Oracle Applications

Hi,
We are using Oracle Applications 11i
Is there any documentation that exploring the Integration Oracle Application using BPEL Technology? or any customer experience using BPEL for their Oracle Application?
Need advice
Thanks
Feri

There's an Oracle Applications adapter which assists in browsing the interfaces to Oracle Apps 11i.x. You can find more info on adapters at the OTN page: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/integration/adapters/index.html, and there you will find a data sheet on the Oracle Apps adapter (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/integration/adapters/pdf/DS_OracleASAdapter_EBS.pdf)

BPEL and Oracle Applications Adapter

I am using the Oracle Applications Adapter of the JDeveloper BPEL Designer 10.1.2.1.0 to insert a customer into the Oracle eBusiness Suite.
To achieve this I select the tab
Financials/Trading Community/Customer Account Contact/Open Interfaces/Trading Community Customer Open Interface/Tables (3)
RA_CUSTOMERS_INTERFACE_ALL
then I click OK.
But when I press next on the step 5 of 5: Operation I get the following error message:
The following error occurred:
HZ
Please consult the Database Adapter documentation for detailed instructions on how to fix this problem
I am following instructions of the Tutorial 1: Invoking Oracle Applications API through the Oracle AS Adapter
Can anybody help-me??

I'm facing the same problem. Any Update on this?

Time Delay when Initiating BPEL from Oracle ESB

Hi there,
I am currently working with a client who have an on-going integration project. They are using the BPEL and Oracle ESB components of the Oracle SOA Suite 10.1.3.3.1. There is an issue that periodically occurs.
The scenario that we are occasionally getting is as follows:
The ESB is used to Poll for business events in a SQL Server database. Business Events are just information that needs to trigger a process occuring. The ESB has a DB Adapter that POLLS for these events. The ESB simply listens for these events, when one occurs it transforms the incoming message and invokes a Synchonous BPEL process that processes the message. Periodically in their environment, when the ESB DB Poller picks up a message, there seems to be a significant time frame between picking up the message and invoking BPEL. This has been anything upto 90 minutes. For Example messgae picked up 1t 12.30pm and the BPEL instance starts at 2.00pm. This issue seems to be uncreatable. Has anyone experienced similar issues or has any advice regarding this?
Any assistance / advise would be appreciated
Dave

Hi Ruplim
Thanks for quick response,
I want to Invoke ESB service from BPEL and get the Response Back in the form of Transformation Data.
I tried searching for Demo example in tutorials but i am not able to find such case, Do you have any documentation or Sample code for this type?
Thanks & regards

BPEL and RESTful WS

Does BPEL and Oracle AS support requesting a RESTful WS in a BPEL Process? If it is supported, which Service component (from jDev's Components Palette) can I use to request a RESTful WS?
Also, what is the "best" practice used in a BPEL Process to compare row of data returned from a WS to row of data in a database table? I was thinking about using an embedded Java that compares data returned from the WS and DBAdapter requests. Is this necessary?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I haven't worked much on RESTful WS, but they are usually like HTTP GET/POST method, and in that case you can leverage http binding (702.Bindings\HTTPBinding). You can marshal the return xml string in XML object.
Other way can be developing generic proxy service for calling RESTFul service is not very bad idea and exposing it is normal soap service.

Diff Between Oracle BPM Studio and Oracle BPEL Process Manager

1)What is the difference between Oracle BPM Studio and Oracle BPEL Process Manager?
2)What is the connection between Oracle BPM Studio and Oracle BPEL Process Manager?

Hi,
As of today you should install SOA Suite 11g
Fr this you will need to install Database (for development you can use XE)
Run RCU utility to crete DB schemas for SOA Suite.
Install Weblogic server
Install SOA Suite as an option to Weblogic
Create SOA Domain.
It is physically possible to do it in 2GB but is far better on 3 - 4GB
You can consider installing DB on different machine.

Differences in Oracle Service Bus, BPEL and human workflow

Hi Everyone,
I am newbie, don't know if its the right place to post this thread.
I want to prepare paper on differences in Oracle Service Bus, BPEL and human workflow, can anybody help me.
Till now i came to know all these things are very different, no poit comparing them but still need differences
Thanks in advance:
Vikas

Basic difference:
BPEL : It is used for orchastrating different processes. Its heavyweight and stores instances (stateful)
OSB : It is used for routing data between the applications
Human Workflow : It is used to handle scenarios where manual intervention is necessary.
Refer for more on Oracle BPEL

Passing value from ADF to BPEL, and to PL/SQL procedure

1. I have created BPEL which take 2 inputs and concatenate them.
2. have created a PL/SQL procedure for invoking this BPEL( working fine).
Now i need to create a simple ADF page which contain 2 text box, 2 for input and 1 for result(concatenate), this will take 2 inputs and send them into BPEL, this will invoke the BPEL process and perform the necessary concatenate function...
in addition to this, i am passing code into PL/SQL procedure ...
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body xmlns:ns1="http://xmlns.oracle.com/OrderImportDemo">
<ns1:InputRequest>
<ns1:FirstName>abcdef</ns1:FirstName>
<ns1:LastName>aaaaaa</ns1:LastName>
</ns1:InputRequest>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>';
this code will take vaule from BPEL and run properly.
can you please help me,

thanks for help, but the problem is diff.
i don't have any schema, what i want i need to create a adf page that will contain 3 tent field, 2 for input and 1 for output. when i will enter 2 input field and click on ok button, this will invoke BPEL, BPEL will take these 2 inputs and do the concat on this and send back to adf with result.

can you please help me,

Three simple steps you need to do :
1) Generate proxy for your bpel process in Jdeveloper.
2)Create simple ADF page with 2 input for taking value and a input for showing the result and one command button.
3) In backing bean on command button action, get value from two inputs, pass the in the proxy service and update the the the third input with the result of service.

BAM and Oracle application server 10.1.3???

Hi,
I would like to understand more about integration between BAM and OAS.
I remember I read a document that stated that BAM was included (or was integrated) as part of OAS 10.1.3, however I installed it and still don;t see how it is integrating with OAS.
Also, in one of the Tutorials it mentions this:
"Note –if you are using Oracle Application Server with opmn process, the following
additional files are required in the above path:
C:\OracleBAM\OC4J\opmn\lib\optic.jar
Copy the entire Application Server “opmn” directory to c:\oraclebam"
So... are there any additional steps for the OAS and BAM integration?
I am still learning BAM but mi goal is install it as part of EBS(order Manegemnet)-BPEL-OTM (oracle Transportation) integration installation I currently have.
If it can be integrated can it be done using iAS 10.1.2.0.2 instead?
Thanks

Its recommended that you should use same versions of OAS and Oracle BAM.
For integration between OAS components and BAM you can check BAM tech notes (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/integration/bam/10.1.3/htdocs/1013_support.html#technotes)
Hoping it will help you.

Trying to add new elemwent to BPEL, and it is now having binding error

I have a BPEL service that calls a PL SQL procedure. I have added a new element to the BPEL called quote_cart_line.
All I had to the BPEL to accomplish this was edit 3 files -
Async_Invoke_Import_Model.xsd (Source)
<element name="orig_sys_line_ref" type="integer" minOccurs="1" nillable="true"/>
       <element name="quote_cart_line" minOccurs="1" nillable="true" type="integer"/>
      </sequence>
.....APPS_NI_MODEL_IMPORT_UTIL_IMPORT_SELECTIONS.xsd (Target)
<element name="ORIG_SYS_LINE_REF" type="decimal" db:type="NUMBER" minOccurs="0" nillable="true"/>
         <element name="QUOTE_CART_LINE" type="decimal" db:type="NUMBER" minOccurs="0" nillable="true"/>
      </sequence>
.....Transform_NIE_Inputs.xsl (Transforming from Source to Target)
<ns1:orig_sys_line_ref>
          <xsl:value-of select="/ns1:Async_Invoke_Import_ModelProcessRequest/ns1:import_line/ns1:orig_sys_line_ref"/>
        </ns1:orig_sys_line_ref>
        <ns1:quote_cart_line>
          <xsl:value-of select="/ns1:Async_Invoke_Import_ModelProcessRequest/ns1:import_line/ns1:quote_cart_line"/>
        </ns1:quote_cart_line>
      </ns1:import_line>
.....I have done this to two other BPELs and they work fine. (1st BPEL calls the second BPEL passing this new element, which then passes it to this BPEL I am having trouble with, which then should be binding it to a PL SQL type)
So this BPEL calls a PL SQL procedure, binding the elements from the BPEL to a PL SQL type (ni_model_import_line). So I edited the PL SQL type to accept this new parameter:
orig_sys_header_ref       NUMBER,
       quote_cart_line           NUMBER,
       CONSTRUCTOR FUNCTION ni_model_import_line(p_part_number                IN VARCHAR2,
MEMBER PROCEDURE add_orig_sys_header_ref(p_org_sys_header_ref          IN NUMBER),
       MEMBER PROCEDURE add_quote_cart_line(p_quote_cart_line                 IN NUMBER)
MEMBER PROCEDURE add_quote_cart_line(p_quote_cart_line                 IN NUMBER) IS
BEGIN
   quote_cart_line := p_quote_cart_line;
END add_quote_cart_line;
END;
.....I invoke all of this, and the new element gets populated in 3 different BPELs, including this one I explained here. But when it comes time to call the PL SQL I am now getting an error:
<fault>
-<bpelFault>
<faultType>0</faultType>
-<bindingFault xmlns="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension">
-<part name="summary">
<summary>
Exception occured when binding was invoked.

</part>
</bindingFault>
</bpelFault>
</fault>This doesnt happen if I remove the references to this new element and try again, so it obviously is a problem with the element, but I have no idea what it is. It works fine when going from BPEL to BPEL, but as soon as the process tries to call the PL SQL procedure this happens. It is even more frustrating because I have done this exactly before adding another element, and it worked fine...
Any ideas or tips please?

Edited by: 849655 on Aug 9, 2011 2:36 PM

So is there any further info I can provide or anything like that? I am still no closer to solving this it appears...
This makes no sense to me. I have edited these BPELs in this manner twice before and never had problems.
I have 3 bpels. I added the new element to each of them.
BPEL1 - calls some PL SQL and also passess the elements to the next BPEL (BPEL2)
BPEL2 - passes the elements to BPEL 3
BPEL3 - Calls PL SQL in exactly the same way as BPEL1
however, where BPEL 1 is functioning fine, BPEL3 is resulting in the error above. So frustrating, because BPEL3 works exactly like BPEL1, there is no reason it shouldn't be working. The elements are the same order as the PL SQL type and procedure it is mapping to, so that isn't the problem

"Oracle BPM Suite 11g" and "Oracle SOA Suite 11g" components

Dear Friends,
I am very confusing about the "Oracle BPM suite 11g" and "Oracle SOA Suite 11g" and would like your help on explanation as the following :
I have learn that In order to use "Oracle BPM Suite 11g" require to have "Oracle SOA Suite 11g" components to install first. Does it means that :
1) When we buy "Oracle BPM Suite 11g" , we automatically get the "Oracle SOA Suite 11g" components as well ?
2) IS it correct that these " these Oracle SOA Suite 11g components" are included :
(a) Oracle BAM
(b) Oracle Business Rules
(c) Oracle BPEL Manager
(d) Oracle Service Bus
(e) Oracle Complex Event Processing
3) Do we have a right to use all of these components listed in (2) ?
4) Then the answers in (3) is "YES", then Is it correct when the customer buy the "Oracle BPM Suite 11g" , they no need to buy "Oracle SOA 11g" any more when they would like to implements that applications based on SOA in the future (without using BPM) ?
5) What IF , the customer would like to start with "Oracle SOA Suite 11g" product and decide to buy only Oracle SOA Suite 11g first ; then later on in the future they would like to implement BPM projects in the future. Can you upgrade "Oracle SOA Suite 11g" to include "Oracle BPM Sutie 11g" and pay only the price different ?
I hope you can help providing the answers to these questions. THank you very much in advance.
Best Regards
Pearapon S.

This is a question best answered by your Oracle reseller or Oracle account manager to give you all the details but I hope this brief answer helps:
- The Unified Business Process Management Suite (BPM Suite 11g) includes: BPM Studio, BPM Composer, BPMN Service Engine and Workflow Extensions, BPM Process Spaces, and BPM Process Analytics.
- BPM Suite 11g requires the licensing of SOA Suite 11g for Oracle Middleware which requires a license for WebLogic Suite.
- You can license SOA Suite 11g now and license BPM Suite 11g later.
Since the products are layered, I don't see this cutting into SOA sales at all. My personal view is that BPM on top of SOA is brilliant since it provides easy integration between human and automated tasks, builds on many of the SOA concepts that are key for a successful BPM implementation (functional, not the Oracle product), and uses the same IDE. The synergies extend past easy use of services; the same business rules and human workflow components are used between both products.
