Code change management in JDeveloper & BPEL Process Manager

Hi,
I am finding that when we make any changes such as adding more parameters to a database adapter query, internally generated variable / message type names change, and you have to re-do most of the work downstream of the database adapter.
It seems the message types etc are generated using the parameter names
e.g. a generated message type name ..
ns2:extractGLDataSelect_last_extract_end_date_user_agency_code_current_end_date_inparameters
This was a message type name generated for a query which takes
las_extract_end_date, user_agency_code, and current_end_date as input parameters.
Due to this, if I need to change by adding one more parameter or removing one for that matter, JDev keep all existing definitions and I have to go and make all the relevant downstream changes ...
Am I missing something? Or that's the way the schema, WSDL and other name generation works... and we can't do much about it ..
Would like to know if there's a better way to manage, and if others have seen similar issue with maintenance of the source code...
Thank you,
M

I did get it to work after making the changes, just didnt like the way I had to make them. Had several steps, transformation etc. which were using the output from this adapter and had to make appropriae changes there.
Was looking to see if there is a more efficient way of handling this....
Thank you,
M

  • JDeveloper 11g with BPEL process Manager 10.1.3.1.0

    Hi,
    Here is my requirement.
    To develop a simple web application which talks to a Business work flow developed using BPEL.
    The Setup I wanted to work on
    JDeveloper 11g.
    BPEL process Manager 10.1.3.1.0.
    Now the problems seems to be is that JDeveloper 11g doesnt seem to be having BPEL Designer ,is there is plugin for me to get BPEL Designer in my JDeveloper 11g.
    Could some body tell me if i can use JDeveloper 10.1.3.1.0 with BPEL process Manager 10.1.3.1.0 if yes then
    how do we configure the JDeveloper 10.1.3.1.0 to point to BPEL process Manager 10.1.3.1.0.
    Regards
    Harish

    Huh? In the subject you're talking about BPEL 10.1.3.x and now you're asking for 10.1.2?
    Anyway, you need the corresponding JDeveloper version to develop the BPEL workflow, ie JDev 10.1.3.4 for BPEL 10.1.3.4 or JDev 10.1.2. for BPEL 10.1.2.
    You can install as much as possible JDeveloper versions on your machine. As long as they are installed in a different home. I usually have three to six installations.
    Develop your workflow in the JDev matching the BPEL version and develop your UI in JDev 11g calling the BPEL as a WebService.

  • Does Oracle BPEL process manager ships jdeveloper bpel designer

    I had downloaded Oracle bpel process manager and installed on my desktop but I am unable to find jdeveloper bpel designer shiped with process manager.
    Could any one update me regarding the same

    Hi,
    Follow the steps which I have mentioned.If you want to start with BPEL you can do either of the two things.
    1) If you are interested in only BPEL then download and install BPEL server from oracle site. For coding you need to have Jdeveloper.
    or
    2) If you want to use all the components of SOA then download version 10.1.3.1 and install SOA suite. Apply Patch to upgrade version to 10.1.3.3.
    After installation of server, download Jdeveloper 10g and Unzip the file to use it.
    Hope I clarified your doubt.
    Cheers,
    Abhi...

  • Errors after upgrading Bpel process manager

    Hi all,
    As said in the subject I recently upgraded to the latest version of the Bpel process manager. And it looks like some changes have been made ;-) My project does not compile/deploy anymore. See below the obant errors I got. Apparently, I should now add the ns prefixes in the bpel source ... could you confirm? What impact will that make on the queries?

    Hi all,
    I modified the bpel so that it could compile by letting the designer add prefixes where it needed some. Then I deployed the process and tested it. Unfortunately ;-( See below the error log. It looks like the newly added prefixes are source of troubles ...
    Any ideas?

  • BPEL Process Manager caches requests

    Hi,
    i recently downloaded Oracle BPEL Process Manager 10.1.2 bundled with JDeveloper.
    I created a BPEL process which invokes an external web service. The result of the web service invocation is transformed with an stylesheet using the transform activity and resend to another web service. After i deployed the process, everything works fine.
    But now i face a cache problem: everytime i change the stylesheet in the transform activity and redeploy the whole bpel process to the running BPEL PM Server, the change in the stylesheet is not reflected in the 2nd version of the BPEL process. The requests send after the transform activity are the same as in the 1st deployment of the process. Restarting the BPEL PM Server helps recognizing the change in the stylesheet and a appropriate request is send now.
    I can see the new stylesheet after redeployment in the .jar file located in the deploy folder. I also see it in the temp directory of my domain.
    It seems that the BPEL PM Server is caching somehow the stylesheet used in the 1st deployment and does not recognize changes in the stylesheet afterwards. Can i disable this caching? Or do i have to restart the server each time i change the stylesheet for the transform activity?
    Thanks in advance
    Pete

    Maybe there is some caching property which can be disabled?
    I didn´t find any hints on the forum and currently i always create a new stylesheet (with a new name), copy the whole content from the old stylesheet and assign the new stylesheet to the transform activity before redeployment, which is a very poor solution but still faster than relaunching the server...

  • What BPEL process manager ?

    We are using Oracle database 11g and were planing to use Oracle workflow, but later found that workflow will not be supported anymore, So the question is , can BPEL process manager be used in place of Oracle Workflow ?
    Thanks,
    Sanjay

    Hi,
    You my dear friend are in a much better position now 'coz you can make a choice!
    Well, these past two months I'd been working on a project involving migration of an enterprise application's core framework from Oracle WorkFlow to BPEL and believe me it has been a major pain in the neck. But, you may or may not face these problems depending upon whether most of your business processes are synchronous or asynchronous in nature. Plus, migrations are never supposed to be easy! Isn't it? ;)
    Anyways, when our App was using OWF all our interactions were basically synchronous Java calls to PL/SQL procedures. So, anytime an exception occured all we had to do was invoke a rollback and our App was back in a consistent state. But, while migrating to BPEL, we started facing troubles in mapping our synchronous business processes to asynchronous BPEL processes mostly in handling exceptional cases where we wished we could push an exception back to the Java client.
    But, I think we mostly faced problems due to the migration limitations listed below that we had and which you probably would not be having as you would be designing your processes to use BPEL from the scratch:
    1. We couldn't have used synchrous BPEL processes as they all had to create HumanTasks which is a long running activity that may take days to complete.
    2. As we were migrating the core framework and not the App itself we were not supposed to change our App code that in most of the cases was assuming that the underlying workflow engine calls are synchronous in nature.
    Things are pretty stable now but we still find ourselves finding workarounds to put the App in sync with what has happened within BPEL. So, it's certainly doable but it's not as easy as it sounds esp. the migrations! ;)
    I hope my experience helps you out in taking a better call.
    Cheers,
    Ravi

  • Problem to start BPEL Console of Oracle BPEL Process Manager 10.1.3.1.0

    Hi everyone!
    I'm writing to yours because I installed Oracle BPEL Process Manager 10.1.3.1.0 but I can't start BPEL Console. I tried to start it by the option menu of Windows XP and by Developer Prompt, but I get a HTTP 404 Not Found page. When I was installing the universall installer told me that it wasn't possible to set ORACLE_HOME variable because it had a value older than 1023 characteres. So, I continue the installation but I can't start the BPEL Console. The Dos Console teld me sometimes when I put http://localhost:9700/BPELConsole..timed out. So, tell me how to resolve that problem.
    I'll be waiting your responses.

    Hi,
    you said:
    it wasn't possible to set ORACLE_HOME variable because it had a value older than 1023 characteres
    What do you mean with older than 1023 chars?
    I think the easiest way is to uninstall the BPEL Console and run the installer again with correcting the ORACLE_HOME problem...

  • How to install Oracle BPEL Process Manager for OracleAS Middle Tier

    hi,
    i need to install BPEL process manager, so i download the following file from otn
    1.soa_windows_x86_101310_disk1
    2.soa_windows_x86_bpel_101310
    here i read the document named b28980.pdf from bpel\doc\pc.1012 to install BPEL PM
    so i start to complete the pre-installation task
    1.installed Oracle database 10g
    2.Run the Integration Repository Creation Assistant on the Database
    3.Install Oracle Application Server 10g Release3 (10.1.3.1.0) and select either the J2EE Server installation type or the J2EE and Web Server installation type. selected J2EE and Web Server installation type
    and installed according to the Oracle application server installation guide.
    installed OracleAS in the path : D:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1
    4.Install the current release of Oracle BPEL Process Manager for OracleAS Middle Tier
    here they mention to select the J2EE and Web Server installation type because that type is selected in Oracle AS installed in Oracle Application Server
    so i start to install the BPEL PM by selecting the setup.exe-->and shows the location source and destination
    default destination is : D:\product\10.1.3.1\OraBPEL_1 selected next on the screen
    the next screen is select installation type here there are two types named
    1.BPEL process Manager for Developer (371MB)
    2.BPEL process manager for Oracle AS Middle tier (107MB)
    i selected 2.BPEL process manager for Oracle AS Middle tier (107MB) and click next
    pop up window opens with title dependencies
    error:
    BPEL Process manager for oracle AS Middle tier will run on top of a supported Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.1.0 J2EE server and Web Server Or J2EE server instance. this location does not contain this instance. Please select new Oracle home that contains a supported instance.
    so i changed the destination path to : D:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1\BIN then also i got the same error.
    please any one mention the path for J2EE and Web Server instance for installing the BPEL PM for Oracle AS Middle Tier.
    Thanks in Advance
    Aswath Thaniga

    If you choose the developer version you will be fine.
    If you have installed J2EE and Web Server installation into D:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1 then this is the location you install your BPEL PM into, not D:\product\10.1.3.1\OraBPEL_1 or D:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1\BIN.
    D:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1 is what we call the ORACLE_HOME, generally we create a new home for each install, but in this case there is a dependency on 10.1.3.1 OC4J container. So it needs to be installed into 10.1.3.1 oracle home.
    The bin directory is just the executables for that home, its not the actual. home.
    cheers

  • Eclipse BPEL Designer with Oracle BPEL Process Manager

    Gurus,
    I am tryting to develop a BPEL 2 process using Eclipse Helios BPEL Designer (v0.5).
    Request your help with a problem that I am facing, which is as follows:
    I am trying to create a Partner Link (PL) in my BPEL process, using the Partner Link Type (PLT) provided by TaskService (for user interactions) in BPEL Process Manager 11g integration services.
    However, the PLT is not recognized by Eclipse BPEL Designer. The Port Types in the WSDL show up but not the PLTs.
    I noticed that the PLT namespace being used in the TaskService WSDL is BPEL v1 namespace (namely, http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/05/partner-link/). I am able to work with PLTs from WSDLs with BPEL v2 namespce (namely, http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/plnktype)
    Is there anyway I can work with v1 PLTs using Eclipse BPEL 2 Process?
    Many Thanks,
    Pulkit Sharma

    Hi,
    I believe the Eclipse BPEL Designer is not a supported tool to create SOA composites. I suggest using Oracle JDeveloper 11g as it is a supported tool for development and is Oracle's go-forward IDE strategy.
    Hope this helps!

  • How to connect to BPEL Process Manager from Jdeveloper11g

    Hi,
    I am trying to connect to the local BPEL process manager server through Jdeveloper. However, I cannot seem to find the right option to do that in the Connections navigator i.e. there is no option under which I can define the connection for my local BPEL server.
    These are the only options I get to create a new connection for, under Applications Server Navigator are -
    1.) Applications Server Connection
    2.) BAM Connection
    3.) BI Presentation Services Connection
    4.) Content repository Connection
    5.) Database Connection
    ... and some others, but there is no BPEL process manager connection option just like we had it in the Jdeveloper BPEL designer edition.
    Any pointers/guidelines would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Shishir

    How is it possible through Jdeveloper BPEL Designer 10g to connect to a BPEL oj4J server. I tried to use Jdeveloper 10.1.3.2 to connect to my BPEL process manager but the same problem is there as well ( i.e. no BPEL connection option).
    Is it possible to use BAM connection to connect to BPEL server?
    Anirudh Pucha wrote:
    Also, The connections tab supports only Oracle (BEA) Weblogic 10g R3. Deployments to OC4J is not supported but will be incorporated later. So, I dont think you can use BPEL 10.1.3.1.0 for this.

  • Error installing: BPEL Process Manager 10.0.3.1.0  (Windows XP)

    Guys,
    I am in the process of trying out the Oracle's BPEL workflow solution. Please pardon me if I am asking obvious questions.
    I am trying to install the BPEL Process Manager 10.0.3.1.0 from the following link: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/bpel/index.html.
    1) Created the Oracle DB for the purpose.
    2) I installed the Oracle BPEL Process Manager 10.1.3.1.0 for OC4J. The documentation I am following says the following:
    You need to download the SOA Suite patchset 10.1.3.3 from MetaLink and then apply
    the patchset on BPELPM Standalone 10.1.3.1.
    As I donnot have access to the MetaLink, I was not able to apply the above patch. Is there a workaround it? Or I am doing something wrong here? Please suggest.
    3) Created the BPEL schema in Oracle DB.
    4) Downloaded the Oracle BPEL Process Manager 10.1.3.3 for BEA WebLogic. Ran the set.bat script that created the BPELDomain, Admin Server and BPEL Server.
    I am able to start the Admin Sever (logged in) , but when I try to start the Managed BPELServer, its throwing an error saying boot,ini is not initialized properly. I corrected the username password in boot,ini file, restarted the domain, but no good.
    Does not applying the patch hosing me? or is there some step that I am missing or I am missing something on the weblogic side (9.2 MP2).
    Please let me know. Thanks.

    Guys,
    I was able to install the patch. Thanks Chintan.
    But, seems like I am back to square one. Still having the following error, when I try to start the managed BPELServer from the AdminServer under the new BPELDomain created using weblogic scripts. Changing the username/password in boot.properties(to weblogic/weblogic, same as domain) didn't seem to help.
    Error:
    weblogic.security.SecurityInitializationException: Authentication denied: Boot identity not valid; The user name and/or password from the boot identity file (boot.properties) is not valid. The boot identity may have been changed since the boot identity file was created. Please edit and update the boot identity file with the proper values of username and password.

  • JHeadstart, Oracle Business Rules and BPEL Process Manager

    Dear JHeadstart Team,
    I have some questions regarding integration of JHeadstart and Oracle Business Rules and Oracle BPEL Process Manager. As a matter of fact I don't have any work expriences with these tools so my questions may not be good and precise.
    1- Using a business rule engine can dramatically increase speed of development and ease of maintenance.I had a very good exprience in using JHeadstart and Headstart in the past but I wanted to know if it is possible to use Oracle Business Rules in conjunction with the JHeadstart ? If so, What steps should be taken? Is there any known issue about this integration? Does Oracle Business Rules have any interference with JHeadstart or it is only used in model layer during insert,update,delete?
    2- Is it possible to develope a system based on oracle work flow engine (Oracle BPEL Process Manager) using JHeadstart ? If so, What steps should be taken and how the changes in the flow of work would by applyed in a system developed by JHeadstart. Is there any known issue about this integration?
    Any help,link to documents or general guidelines would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Navid

    Couple of things I would like to add, are the following.
    In the context of an ADF application usage of Oracle Business Rules most likely is in the business logic layer, but mind that it does not need to be restricted to that.
    Oracle Business Rules takes so called 'facts' as input, evaluates some rules based on that and change those facts or return some result. That might be checking a business rule as defined in the JHeadstart Developers Guide. But it might also return some value that is used in a navigation rule.
    Think about a page flow where after page A normally page C is presentend, but in case of some situation (like a customer ordered something and you want to present some special offering based on that) you want page B presented in between (i.e. A -> B -> C). Oracle Rules could be used to determine this page flow. This would be an example of using it in the controller layer (probably in combination with using facts that come from the model layer).
    Another remark that I would like to make, is that in my opinion it does not make much sense to use Oracle Rules for business rules that logically more or less are part of your data model (like end date must be on or after begin date). You typically use Oracle Rules to implement business rules that are of a volatile nature, meaning that day-to-day business may require a change of the rules. One example is the navigation case that I mentioned before. Another (typical) example would be a rule that defines when a customer is a Gold customer.
