BPEL Console - Fault Policy

Hi,
Can we use BPEL Console/Admin to edit fault policy file? I didn't find a way though.. I assume it should be possible using Console/Admin ...
Please let me know ..
Ranjith

I believe it is not possible atleast in 10.1.3.3 version, Oracle might support this in later version.
Have you seen the demo of Oracle CAB, I believe they wrote some JSP to view/edit these policies. (Not sure it may be just for ESB).
Regards,
Chintan

BPEL 11g fault policy action java class not sending email

Hi All,
I am trying to attach fault policy to my bpel process. The fault conditions are working fine but the email part from the action class is not able to send email. The code execute properly , i can't see any error message in the log but I cant access the email in my inbox.
I am able to send email from using email bpel activity and also test work flow notification from em console.
I have used both the java options for sending email like javax.mail and oracle.sdp.messaging .

BPEL 10.1.3.5: Fault policy framework: has retryCount a maximum of 50?

Hello,
i configured the fault policy with the folllowing values:
<Action id="ora-retry">
<retry>
<retryCount>60</retryCount>
<retryInterval>1</retryInterval>
</retry>
</Action>
But when i look at the audit-tab in the BPEL-Console, i see only 50 retries, until the action fails.
Has retryCount a maximum of 50 retries?
Best regards and thanks for your help

Hi again.
Has anyone been able to use any kind of Xpath function inside a policy file? If so, could you please share the code fragment including the namespace declarations and the conditions?
Does anyone know if Fault Management Framework at least support the use of Xpath functions?
Thanks.

Test Conditions in BPEL Fault Policy

Per the ORacle 10.1.3.3 SOA Suite techical document, under the Fault Policy Framework section you can use an XPath expression in the <test> section of a fault policy. The example provided is +<test>$fault.code/code="WSDLReadingError"</test>+
Instead of using an equals sign, I am trying to figure out the syntax to use a "contains" or "starts-with" expression. I want to filter out a particular remoteFault using the "summary".
I have tried:
+<Conditions>+
+          <faultName xmlns:bpelx="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension" name="bpelx:remoteFault">+
+               <condition>+
+*<test>contains($fault.summary/summary,"exception on JaxRpc")</test>*+
+<action ref="ora-retry"/>+
+               </condition>+
+          </faultName>+
+     </Conditions>+
+     <Actions>...+
but this does not seem to work.
Anyone know what "tests" are possible, and\or have used a "contains" expression in their Fault Policy?
Thanks in advance,
Eric
Example of the fault that I am trying to "catch".
+<remoteFault xmlns="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension">+
+<part name="code">+
+<code>ESBMessageProcessingFailed</code>+
+</part><part name="summary"><summary>exception on JaxRpc invoke:+
start fault message:
+801 Error validating amount. Must be numerical and greater than 0 [000]+
+:end fault message</summary>+
+</part><part name="detail"><detail>null</detail>+
+</part></remoteFault>+

I did try to add namespace but it still didn't catch the fault.
I contacted Oracle support and they indicated that the syntax is: $fault.part/<xpath expression>
So for my purposes I needed to put: <test>$fault.summary/contains(summary, "xyz")</test>
HOWEVER this did not work. We recontacted Oracle and this time they admitted there is a bug that they will document. Only = or != can be used at this time.
Thanks for all who responded. I'm closing this question.
For reference, here's a list of what I tried:
The following did NOT catch my fault
<test>$fault.summary/contains(summary, "JaxRpc invoke")</test>
<test>$fault.summary/contains(summary, 'start fault message:')</test>
<test>$fault.code/contains(code, "ProcessingFail")</test>
<test>$fault.code/contains(code, "ESBMessageProcessingFailed")</test>
<test>$fault.code/contains(code/code, "ESBMessageProcessingFailed")</test>
<test>$fault.code/contains($fault.code, "ESBMessageProcessingFailed")</test>
<test>$fault.code/contains($fault.code/code, "ESBMessageProcessingFailed")</test>
<test>$fault.code/code/contains(code, "ESBMessageProcessingFailed")</test>
<test>$fault.code/code/contains($fault.code/code/, "ESBMessageProcessingFailed")</test>
<test>$fault.code/code/contains(code/code/, "ESBMessageProcessingFailed")</test>
<test>$fault.code/contains(/remoteFault/part[1]/code/, "ESBMessageProcessingFailed")</test>
<test>contains($fault.code/code,"ESB")</test>
<test>contains($fault.summary/summary,"ESB")</test>
<test>contains($fault.summary, "ESB")</test>
<test>contains($fault.summary/summary, )</test>
<test>xp20:matches($fault.summary/summary,'.*fault message.*')</test>
<test>xp20:matches($fault.summary/summary,'*fault message*')</test>
<test>not(xp20:matches($fault.summary/summary,'.*xyz.*'))</test>

SOA BPEL 11g (11.1.1.3.0) - Using encapsulated retries in fault-policy file

Hi,
We are using oracle SOA suite 11g (11.1.1.3.0)
I'm trying to configure a fault-policy file so that it first retries 20 times every 20 secs, then reties 20 times every 10 minutes, then retries 23 times every hour, then retries 24 times every 6 hours and if the fault persists call a java action to send an email and then go to human-intervention. It seems however that only the first retry is executed. The rest ones are ignored and the action following the first retry failure is the Java Action. The fault-policy is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Is retrying with various intervals only done by using the tag <exponentialBackoff/>?
Thanks for any response.

I had a similar requirement, although not as elaborate as yours. After I failed to figure it out myself I filed a SR. Basically, you cannot restart a retry block after the first execution to avoid an infinite loop.
If you need to send the e-mail after the 23rd hour, why not just retry until the 23rd hour and send an e-mail?

BPEL 10.1.3.5 Fault Management - Using Xpath in Fault Policy conditions

Hi all.
I have a requirement to use the xpath functions "contais" and "upper-case" inside a condition in a fault policy file. I've done some tests and didn't get successful results so far.
My first test using the policy file was the following:
<faultName xmlns:bpelx="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension"
          xmlns:ebsv1="http://www.claro.com.br/EBS/Claro/v1"
          xmlns:ebov1="http://www.claro.com.br/EBO/Claro/v1"
          name="ebsv1:TechnicalFault">
     <condition>
     *<test>$fault.TechnicalFault/ebsv1:TechnicalFault/ebov1:message = 'TE-0001'</test>*
     <action ref="ora-human-intervention" />
     </condition>
In this first test I used a simple expression just to test the overall namespace declarations and xpath navigation. It worked as expected.
Second, I modified the test to use the "contais" function. I need to use this function because my message will eventually contain the value 'TE-0001' mixed with other string:
<faultName xmlns:bpelx="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension"
          xmlns:ebsv1="http://www.claro.com.br/EBS/Claro/v1"
          xmlns:ebov1="http://www.claro.com.br/EBO/Claro/v1"
          name="ebsv1:TechnicalFault">
     <condition>
     *<test>contains($fault.TechnicalFault/ebsv1:TechnicalFault/ebov1:message, 'TE-0001')</test>*
     <action ref="ora-human-intervention" />
     </condition>
In this second test I allways get FALSE results, meaning that this expression may not be correct. I'm certain that this should be evaluated to TRUE as the test scenario is the same as the first test. Is there something missing?? I turned on debug level log in the domain but didn't find any hint about the fault management processing.
Besides the use of the contains function, it would be nice if I'm able use the function upper-case. Something like this:
<faultName xmlns:bpelx="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension"
          xmlns:ebsv1="http://www.claro.com.br/EBS/Claro/v1"
          xmlns:ebov1="http://www.claro.com.br/EBO/Claro/v1"
          xmlns:xp20="http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/oracle.tip.pc.services.functions.Xpath20"
          name="ebsv1:TechnicalFault">
     <condition>
     *<test>contains(xp20:upper-case($fault.TechnicalFault/ebsv1:TechnicalFault/ebov1:message), 'TE-0001')</test>*
     <action ref="ora-human-intervention" />
     </condition>
Any ideas???
Thanks

Why is Fault Policy working only when the BPEL's transaction is requiresNew

Hi All
I've defined Fault policy & fault bindings files for faults in my BPEL process. I'm using Oracle SOA Suite 11g.
But the fault management framework is properly working only when the transaction property(bpel.config.transaction) of the BPEL is set to "requiresNew" in composite.xml
When i modify it ot required, its not working, i.e. it is waiting for some period and erroring out. I could not manage these errors from the EM as we do for those in Fault Management Framework.
Why is this behavior?
I went thru this article, but could not understand it
Transaction and Fault Propagation Semantics in BPEL Processes(http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/integration.1111/e10224/soa_transactions.htm)
Can someone pls explain this.

RaviKiran.

BPEL fault policy takes more time, when rethrowing

Hi All,
I have a scenario where BPEL fault policy is taking more time to re-throw the fault back to BPEL
Scenario:
1) Partner link service throws as business exception
2) This exception is first caught by BPEL fault policy, this in-turn will invoke "oracle.apps.aia.core.eh.BPELJavaAction" & then it is re-throw's back to BPEL process. Then time while rethrow'n back to BPEL process it taking too much time.
Environment:
SOA suite : Version 10.1.3.4.0 with AIA
Hi all , any updates on this
Edited by: user535670 on Aug 19, 2009 7:43 PM

Abap team debugged and found out that there was an issue with RFC in ECC system.
RFC connection was not working. it was causing the flow to wait for 1 mins. Basis fixed the issue to make RFC working. now interface works without connection time out.

BPEL process on error retrying self after every 5 minutes (no fault policy)

Hi All
We are facing very strange issue in one of our BPEL processes (we are using Oracle SOA Suite 11.1.1.3 on linux with 2 soa servers in cluster). The composite consists of a web service binding followed by a mediator which routes to three different BPEL processes (operational routing). This is all one way.
Inside the BPEL we are throwing a bpel rollback fault in the catch all to roll back any pending database changes. As soon as the error comes, In the composite diagram i can see multiple BPEL instances under the mediator and they keep on coming after every 5 minutes (basically i see two BPEL instances with a gap of one second and this pair keeps on repeating every 5 minutes)
Also we have a send email in the catch all and the email we get has a different composite id in every mail. However in the em i can see only one composite id (the first one when the error came) with multiple BPEL diagrams in it.
We are not sure what is causing the error?
1) Is it the one way mediator routing to 3 BPEL processes as per the operation invoked?
2) Is there something wrong with clustering?
3) Is there a problem with version 11.1.1.3?
Please help as we are struck and not able to move to INT.
Thanks and Regards

Hi Anuj
Thanks for the reply again. Using the below property seems to work, but it is making the call sync (i get an empty fault in SOAP-UI) and my java client also waits for the response.
<component name="abcd">
<implementation.bpel src="abcd.bpel"/>
<property name="bpel.config.oneWayDeliveryPolicy" many="false" type="xs:string">sync</property>
<property name="bpel.config.transaction" many="false" type="xs:string">required</property>
</component>
As i told that this is a long running process (could easily take 3-4 hours), i cant afford to wait for this (should be fire and forget).
1) Is there a way, i can make it fire and forget and also stop the recovery using the properties you just told?
2) If there is no way out, i can remove the throw rollback fault in catch all, but i want the composite instance to be shown as red (i will take care of the rollbacks in db in code). I tried using the terminate activity but that doesn't make it red (like it used to be in 10g). Is there a way to mark the instance as red without throwing an uncaught fault?
Please let me know. Thanks
Also regarding the patch, if we apply it, will it still recover the BPEL instance? I mean the BPEL is throwing a rollback fault and is being exactly retried 50 times with a gap of 5 minutes (default settings in em console, not touched at all). Every time it runs it would throw the same fault again (as it reads and deletes a control file, so in successive runs that control file will not be there) leading to rollback error being thrown from catch all during automatic retry.

Fault policy doesn't fire when asynchronous calls to BPEL in soa11g

Hi,
I have created mainporcess and subprocess both are asynchronous process . exceptions thrown by subprocess are caught in mainprocess using call back operation and fault policy defined in fault-polacy/binding doesn't fire .
if the subprocess is synchronous exceptions thrown by subprocess are caught in mainprocess and creating human-intervention job for Retry action as defined in fault-polacy/binding.
Generally how we can handle custom Faults in A asynchronous calls to composites/BPEL processes?
Thanks

Hi ,Milan
Thanks for your response . in subprocess callback port having two operations processResponse,callbackexception

Fault policy does not work when throwing remoteFault in bpel

Hi
I have a BPEL-proces in which I throw a remoteFault.
In the fault-policy there is a condition for this fault
<faultName xmlns:bpelx="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension"
name="bpelx:remoteFault">
<condition>
<action ref="ora-java"/>
</condition>
</faultName>
But the fault-policy does not work if I throw this remoteFault in de bpel. But when I invoke another service (which is shutdown), then I get a remoteFault and for this remoteFault the fault-policy works well.
Any idea why the fault-policy does not work when I throw the remoteFault?
Regards

BPEL fault works only on invocation failures.
Fault management will work based on the remote fault from the remote service, you cannot throw remote fault from bpel and capture that in fault management and process.
The following are the actions that we can take on faults.
1. Human Intervention
2. Rethrow [rethrowFault]
3. Termination [abort]
4. Replay Fault [replayScope]
5. Custom Java Action [javaAction]
6. Retry [retry]
Hope this helps !!!
Thanks,
Vijay

BPEL - Fault Policy Management

Hi All
I trying to implement the fault policy management in oracle soa suite 10.1.3.5 and
I am facing a problem in it.
I have defined the process level policies in the fault-bindings.xml file as shown below and its not working.
<faultPolicyBindings>
<process faultPolicy="NICBPELFaultPolicy">
<name>mainCalcProcess2</name>
</process>
<process faultPolicy="RetryPolicy">
<name>addMainProcess</name>
</process>
</faultPolicyBindings>
is it a correct way of fault handling?
Regards

Hi,
Could you provide me the details of testing this Fault policy.
You can handle the fault policy at process level and domain level, it looks like you are trying to have fault policy at <font face="tahoma,verdana,sans-serif" size="1" color="#000">Domain</font> level.
You have defined the Fauilt at domain level by defining in fault-bindings.xml file.
Have you restarted the server after defining this fault? If yes how are you testing this fault?
Thanks
SathishI got more deep understanding about this part, Thanks for your explanation! Nice writing.

EDN not available throws runtimeFault - Fault Policy Framework unable to catch it

Hi Team,
I have been working on some error handling scenarios for EDN .
From my observation if BPEL is used to publish the event, BPEL Fault policy cannot catch EDN errors (e.g., EDN unavailable) but BPEL catch activity can catch it.
Steps performed :
1. Create a BPEL to publish the event to EDN.
2.Create fault policy to catch BPEL runtime fault .
3.Go to weblogic console to change EDNdatasource target to get "EDN datasource not available error".
4.Test your BPEL.
My requirement is to retry such faults and invoke human intervention after retry failure using BPEL.
Please let me know how to achieve this

Follow the oracle documentation
- http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28271_01/dev.1111/e10224/bp_faults.htm#BABIGGIB
*The fault management framework catches all faults (business and runtime) for an invoke activity.*
Hope that helps.
P.S. The fault management framework main purpose is to define a enterprise wide standard policies to handle the faults that will be applied to various/all composite. Hence your specific fault that is specific to a composite should not creep into to fault management framework as this is not the enterprise standard i.e., every composite may have to handle the invalid variable, based on where it occurred and for what variable it occurred.

Fault Policy for any fault

Hi,
Is there any way I can write a fault policy in such a way that for any kind of fault, go to human intervention ?
I am excepting something like * in place of fault names.
-Sridhar

Hi,
If you are on soa suite 10.1.3.3 or higher you can use the new fault framework. In the directory [oracle_home]/bpel/domains/[name]/config you have a fault-bindings.xml file. Change it contents to:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<faultPolicyBindings    version="2.0.1" xmlns="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/faultpolicy" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
        <process faultPolicy="MyPolicy"/>
        <partnerLink faultPolicy="MyPolicy"/>
</faultPolicyBindings>Then create a file named [oracle_home]/bpel/domains/[name]/config/fault-policies/MyPolicy.xml and with contents:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<faultPolicy    version="2.0.1"
                id="MyPolicy"
                xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
                xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
                xmlns="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/faultpolicy"
                xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Conditions>
    <faultName xmlns:bpelx="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension" name="bpelx:remoteFault">
      <condition>
        <action ref="ora-human-intervention"/>
      </condition>
    </faultName>
    <faultName xmlns:bpelx="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension" name="bpelx:bindingFault">
      <condition>
        <action ref="ora-human-intervention"/>
      </condition>
    </faultName>
</Conditions>
<Actions>
    <Action id="ora-retry">
       <retry>
          <retryCount>5</retryCount>
          <retryInterval>4</retryInterval>
          <exponentialBackoff />
          <retryFailureAction ref="ora-human-intervention"/>
       </retry>
    </Action>
    
    <Action id="ora-replay-scope">
      <replayScope/>
    </Action>
    
    <Action id="ora-rethrow-fault">
      <rethrowFault/>
    </Action>
    
    <Action id="ora-human-intervention">
      <humanIntervention/>
    </Action>
    
    <Action id="ora-terminate">
      <abort/>
    </Action>
</Actions>
</faultPolicy>Then restart your bpel oc4j container and all remote and binding faults will result in human intervention.

Andre

Registering External Fault Policy(s) with a Composite in SOA 11g

Hi
I was wondering whether it is possible to register more than one external fault policy with a composite. I have loaded some fault policies into my database backed MDS store. I have added a fault-bindings.xml file locally to teh composite to indicate which components I want to use which policy. this file resembles:
<composite faultPolicy="bpelSynchronousProcessingFaults"/>
<component faultPolicy="mediatorSynchronousProcessingFaults">
<name>MediatorRouting</name>
</component>
I have also added to the composite.xml file the respective imports / properties to identify the location of the fault policy files and the fault bindings. These resemble:
</service>
<property name="oracle.composite.faultPolicyFile">oramds:/apps/fault-policies/fault-policies-med-sync.xml</property>
<property name="oracle.composite.faultPolicyFile">oramds:/apps/fault-policies/fault-policies-bpel-sync.xml</property>
<property name="oracle.composite.faultBindingFile">fault-bindings.xml</property>
<component name="MediatorRouting">
For a test I have the BPEL component using one and the mediator component using another, both within the same composite. Depending on the order of the 2 properties shown above, only one is registered. This being the second one.
Is it possible to register more than one policy in this way? I have been unable to get both working at the same time. Each works independently if I only register one of them. I want keep the fault policies external to the composites to allow them to be re-used appropriately across composites within an SOA project
My thinking is, in order to be able to have differing policies effecting different components within a composite i'd have thought it would have been possible to define more than one external policy for a composite. However it appears this is not the case as it only registers or atleast works with the last policy in an import. Also placing the files locally within the composite with differing names has no impact.
Therefore i'm assuming (unless I have configured these incoorectly) there is no option to have multiple fault policies for a composite. Therefore there is no ability to define a different policy per component within a composite
Kind Regards
Dave

Using the fault binding attach your fault policy to particular component. See example below.Use the tag <component faultPolicy="ServiceFaults">
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<faultPolicyBindings version="2.0.1"
xmlns="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/faultpolicy"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<component faultPolicy="ServiceFaults">
<name>Component1</name>
<name>Component2</name>
</component>

<component faultPolicy="CRM_ServiceFaults">
<name>HelloWorld</name>
<name>ShippingComponent</name>
<name>AnotherComponent"</name>
</component>

<reference faultPolicy="CRM_ServiceFaults">
<name>creditRatingService</name>
<name>anotherReference</name>
<portType
xmlns:credit="http://services.otn.com">credit:CreditRatingService</portType>
<portType
xmlns:db="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/db/insert/">db:insert_
plt</portType>

<reference faultPolicy="test1">
