BPEL Process with complex Business logic

Hi,
So far my knowledge,complex business logic can be implemented by different way in bpel process.
1. Business rule
2. ejb with java callout
3.ADF BC as servcie
Can anybody please suggest which approach do I need to follow,what are the pros and cons of each one,and best practices to use when and where?
Thanx in advance.-Aswini

Hi
In addition to what Naresh already mentioned, you can consider these points also.
1. If your process is complex, see if some part of the process can be common across and it can run by itself. Then you can use SubProcess concepts also. Say for example, if process involves credit card processing, it can be in a sub-process and you can call it in the main process. Like that any common approval flows can be put in a separate sub-process.
2. I would discourage using Java invocations if possible as they have some limitations and you can use reasonable amout of code in invoking java code within the bpel process. If you have lots of validations to do on a bpel process, you can consider using CallBackHandlers and do the validation on a task assignment, submission or any task action in general.
3. Business Rules can be used to control the actual flow of the process itself. Based on busiiness rule, you can decide if a set of tasks needs to be included or not in the approval flow. This is in addtion to the actual data that controls the business rules, that can be changed dynamically without the code change to core bpel process.
Which version of SOA are you using or plan to use. I would recommend the latest version SOA 11.5 + Feature Pack applied.

Problem in invoking a BPEL process with complex input

Hi,
I have an asynchronous BPEL process which has a complex request schema. When I try to invoke the process through BPEL Console, it works properly. But when invoking it through Java API, it seems that the input soap message is not well received by the process. Here are relevant files:

Please tell me if you know how to solve it. Thanks

It sounds very much like a namespace issue.
As it works from the BPELConsole, fill in the values in the BPELConsole initiate page and switch from the HTML to the XML view. Copy the XML to Notepad or another suitable editor; then insert it as fixed values into the Java/JSP code and try to call the server with the hardcoded payload instead of the one you are generating.
You can also save the payload in the JSP (write it to a file or standard output) before the call; then open it in jDeveloper or Eclipse and validate it against the schema. That way you will find if the XML is invalid.
Also, check the flow in the BPELConsole. As it fails on an XPath expression you must have a process. If you click on the receive activity you can see the received payload. Again, copy that to jDeveloper or Eclipse and validate it. Also compare it to the XML you get if you initiate the process manuallly. There must be some difference.
If you still can't get it to work, post the XML from the initiate operation and from the JSP operation (as they are seen in the receive activity) and we can help you check them out!

Problem with complex business logic...

hi all,
i have two tables 1.running_table
2.history_table
in my tables, for recent 30 day's data will be stored in "running_table". if 30 days completed from the entered date, all the data will be moved to "history_table".this will be done by some triggers.
now, in my stored procedure, i will get start_date,end_date as a inputs.i have to retrieve data from two tables(running_table,history_table) depending on dates.
conditions:
1. if entered time pheriod is before 30 days....use running_table
2. if entered time pheriod is after 30 days....use history_table.
if start_date is in latest 30 days & end_date in old to 30 days ? what to do?
how can i write condition depending on time pheriod?
thanks in advance.....
Edited by: user9041629 on Aug 12, 2010 3:43 AM

I would suggest you to write 3 conditions in your pl/sql block
1. for <= 30 days
2. for > 30 days
3. for range with lies in both.
in 1 condition u may write a query with running table
in 2 condition u may write a query with history table
and
in 3 condition u have to write a query with history union running table
hope it is clear to you :)

Invoke BPEL process with the webservice interface

I'm using Oracle BPEL PM 10.1.2.x.
Follow the example comes with the BPEL PM, i can invoke the BPEL process in a J2EE project (with the webservice interface). The example named "UseStockReviewSheet".
Then i tried to invoke the BPEL process i designed with Eclipse BPEL Designer. The version of BPEL designer for Eclipse is 0.9.13.
I failed and got following errors:

I can invoke my BPEL process in BPEL console, not in J2EE project. bpws:getVariableData('input','payload','/tns:CreditFlowRequest/tns:input')" is null.
The error message contains some Chineses word. I'm new to BPEL, hope someone can give me a hint on how to solve this problem.
Thanks a billion!

Target BPEL process manager runs under SOA 10.1.3.3. When the SSO to BPELConsole is disabled, the deployment works just fine. Is there any way to make it work with SSO?

Please check:

We had some issues with SSO and SSL but everything is running now.

How to start BPEL process with publishing initiation form designed in ADF

Hii All,
Can Anyone please tell me how to Start my BPEL process with publishing initiation forms designed in ADF fusion.
I am using JDevloper 11g and Oracle SOASuite 11g toolset in windows platform.
Thankx in Advance,
Deekay.

Hi,
I assume you mean the JMS example under the $OH BPEL examples area. Unfortunately, this only shows how to get a BPEL process kicked off by awaiting a JMS message - but there is no test code there! There are specific examples which show off the testing framework facilities but it appears that all the examples which use async type of interactions are in the middle of a process which is kicked off by a normal synchronous client interaction.
Any further help much appreciated.

Did somebody face with this problem and can help me out?
I am using Oracle SOA Suite 10.1.3.3.0
Thanks,
Denis

Thanks for your advise. I have visited your blog and tryed to undeploy my BPEL Process via <undeployBPELProcess> task. But I get: "failed to create task or type of type: undeployBPELProcess. Cause: The Name is undefined" error. So I guess I don't have a proper jar file.
I am very short on experience with Oracle SOA Suite, so I got stuck with this issue.

Business Event not triggering the SOA BPEL Process with OA Adapter

Hello Gurus,
I am working on Business event "oracle.apps.per.api.employee.create_employee" and the event is getting triggered when creating an employee from EBS.
The message has come till WF_BPEL_QTAB(I could seeit) and in "READY" status.We have a SOA BPEL Process that is subscribed to the event "oracle.apps.per.api.employee.create_employee" using OA Adapter.
The issue is that the SOA BPEL process is not getting triggered and it is not dequeing the message from WF_BPEL_Q.
Please let me know if I have missed any steps on SOA BPEL side.
Note: Agent Listener is up and running.
Thanks,
Sunil

Ofcourse, I subscribed to the business event using BPEL. Ideally the instances should be created and I should be able to receive the standard payload.
Yes the JNDIs are correct. We have other business events working in the same fashion and we are using same JNDI.

How to integrate BPEL process with OSB?

HI,
I want to expose a web service from OSB and then after doing the initial validation of request,want the request xml to be forwarded to one of my BPEL process from where i would go for business processing with the request xml data.
Could any one help me here, what are the steps to be followed to integrate BPEL and OSB such that i'll be able to get rquest xml from OSB and reply back the final response to OSB .OSB will respond back to external world.
I have already exposed my webservice from OSB,but don't know how to forward this req xml to my BPEl process and finally fetch res from BPEL.

Hi Arik,
Thanks for Helping me out here. But my problem is when i m communicationg with the BPEl via default wsdl generated by my BPEl process, Through SAO-Direct from OSB.It's looking for binding tag in that WSDl which is not present when i created the BPEl process.
for eg.
In BPEl I have genarated a web service whose input and response is based on existing WSDL .This is the same WSDL which has been referred in OSB to intract with external world ( for upstream component who would be calling my web service).
The default WSDL geneareted by this BPEl does have portType,message,partenerLincType. But it doesnot have binding tag.
Now ,When i m trying to connect to this BPEl from OSB by creating new business service, while refering to this BPEl wsdl,It's looking for binding tag which is actually not present in default WSDL genarated by BPEL.
So considering my explained scenario,will you plz help me, where m i going wrong and in this case what are the correct steps i should follow to fullfill me requirement.

Unable to deploy a BPEL process with rules

Hi All
I created a very simple BPEL process and defined a business Rule in composite, that I call from within my BPEL process.
I am however not able to deploy the project completely successfully.
I am using JDEV 11g to build/deploy my projects on a SOA_Suite_11g. Note that I can deploy a project successfully if it does not have a business rule.
This is what I see in the 'Deployment Log' tab:

Any ideas..
Thanks

"Too many open files" issue is most likely because of a (few) Sun JDK6 bug(s). These bugs may not even get fixed in JDK6. It could hit at runtime or compile time depending on the number of jar files getting used and/or a few other variations around the use of file descriptors at a time by the JDK/JRE. One can use "lsof -p <pid>" command on Linux and see how the File Descriptors are growing when this issue is seen. E.g. use the pid of junit java process and not the main Ant java process if you want to debug at runtime. For compile time, grep on the compiler process.
Increasing the limit of file descriptors is used as a workaround.
How to increase per-process per-user file descriptor limit on your Linux hosted box:
Using "limit" (csh) or "ulimit" (bash) command find out what is the value of "descriptors". As a root user (use sudo) edit /etc/security/limits.conf file.
Close your x term and re-open (or re-connect your NX client) for this change to take effect. System re-start should not be required. If you are not able to increase the limit for some reason using these steps, try a few other things like re-starting your VNC server (or something similar), re-start your Linux box.

BPEL Process with multiple file types using one FTP adapter is not working

i created a bpel process which will fetch the files from remote location using FTP adapter.
Now the process works for only one format or file type like *.xls.
How can i use more than one file format in one FTP adapter.
OR
is there any other way to do it.
file type assignation is 5th step in FTP adapter configuration.
i have tried *.xls,*.csv and *.xls;*.csv and *.xls:*.csv by seperating with comman, colon, space... still not working.
i read the documentation *.* will not work.. for one file format it's working fine.
looking forward for reply as soon as possible.

Are you positive that it is not working? I'm not sure how you can use one FTP adapter for multiple file types unless the underlying data is exactly the same format or you are processing it as opaque data. Sometimes when a FTP adapter chokes on a file with a bad structure it doesn't create a BPEL instance, it simply moves the bad file to a separate folder.
So I assume you are using opaque as the data type instead of using an XSD element?
That said, I don't think you can put two separate file types in the filter. Is it possible for you to do something like: CommonFileName*.* or do you have similar files with other extensions?
I know the above probably isn't of much help, but I had so many problems with the FTP adapter and its lack of features that I am writing my own. Unfortunately that is a large undertaking and there isn't any good documentation of JCA resource adapter / BPEL PM integration.
