Coomon Serivces for a typical BPEL implementation

Hi all,
Currently we are into the design phase of porject and we are implementing Oracle EBS & Oracle Retail(Retek).HEre the Integration part is goin to be handled by Oracle BPEL PM or Oracle BPEL PM + ESB.
Before we move on to interfaces development..we are thinkng of building common service trhat would be helpful in this environment.
typically we are thingking to have following serivces.
1.Logging : to log all entering & leaving a BPEL process messages in file/database .We could also turn this option off..so as to no logging is done.
2.Auditing:This component will typically store the contents of the message in the current format in database.This will helop us to check what entered in and what did BPEL process sent out.
3.Error Handling service:This serivce will handle all kinds of error n shud be able to log onto the database and/or send a notification email to the concerned person as well.
4,Notification service..this service willbe used to send notification messages to concerned person.
i have tried my level best to keep this simple..
the question i have is apart from this services..in tyoical BPEL+ ESB environment do we require any more services which can be common & referred to as & when needed in the BPEL process.?
If someone has some changes to this serivce..as well..i m open for it as well.
Secondly..here we have Oracle Retail(Retek)n as well..i had read somewhere that oracle has some pre built BPEL processes which integrates Oracle EBS & Oracle Retail modules.
If someone knows as to how can we access the same please let us know..it will be really helpful..for us..
Thanks for ur time..

cheswe,
you might want to look at BPEL admin guide to get detail information on many of services already available and expandable. Also APIs are available for custom use.
1. Logging, check Admin guide for logging options at domain level.
2. Auditing. Also, options available in admin guide.
3. Error handling. Sure, you can extend error handling to provide common service and notifications.

Implement callback for an asynchronous BPEL process through Java

Hi ,
I am trying to implement a callback functionality for an asynchronous BPEL process through java.
I found the code in the samples folder of SOA suite installation folder .
<SOA_HOME>\bpel\samples\tutorials\102.InvokingProcesses\rmi\com\otn\samples\async.
There is an AsyncInstanceWatchdog object which registers a callback object(in this case an object of AsyncCallbackImpl class) for a specific CONVERSATION_ID.
String convId = GUIDGenerator.generateGUID();
nm.setProperty(NormalizedMessage.CONVERSATION_ID, convId);
deliveryService.post(proc_name, "initiate", nm);
// register the callback
watchdog.registerAsyncCallback(convId, testAsyncHandler,
locator.getDomainAuth());
// start it
watchdog.start();
There is no problem till the last line. But once the BPEL process returns the control( does a callback), it throws the following error.
May 25, 2010 3:36:06 PM oracle.j2ee.rmi.RMIMessages EXCEPTION_ORIGINATES_FROM_THE_REMOTE_SERVER
WARNING: Exception returned by remote server: {0}
ORABPEL-02118
Variant not found.
The variant "output" has not been declared in the current scope. All variants must be declared in the scope before being accessed.
Please check that the variant "output" is properly declared; otherwise there may be a misspelling in the name of the variant.
at com.collaxa.cube.engine.core.Scope.getVariantRV(Scope.java:535)
at com.collaxa.cube.engine.CubeEngine.getFieldValue(CubeEngine.java:2668)
For your reference the variable output is declared in the definition of AsyncCallbackImpl (which implements the IAsyncInstanceCallback interface).
There are 2 methods defined in the AsyncCallbackImpl class.
public void onResult(Map pResultMessage) {
System.out.println("called back! ");
Iterator iTest = pResultMessage.keySet().iterator();
while (iTest.hasNext()) {
String key = (String)iTest.next();
System.out.println(XMLHelper.elementToString((Element)pResultMessage.get(key)));
public String getVariableName() {
return "output";
The variable name is same given in the sample code. And the BPEL process returns variable named output. So the name should not be a problem.
Is it because of the scope of the variable.. If so, how do I change it.
Any help would be appreciated.

Solved it by some googling .... :)
Here is the link:-
[http://abhishek-soablog.blogspot.com/2008/09/orabpel-02118.html]
or
[http://beautifulwaste.blogspot.com/2008/04/calling-asynchronous-bpel-process.html]
Both gives the same solution..
In pre 10.1.3.3 release the default behaviour were to keep global variable information along with the instance information for completed BPEL processes.
In 10.1.3.3 or later, this behaviour changed for performance reasons so that the default behaviour is now, not to keep any global variables for a BPEL process once the BPEL process has completed.
You can configure this behaviour on a process level basis by using the parameter keepGlobalVariables in the bpel.xml file for the specific process:
<BPELSuitcase>
<BPELProcess src=".........." id="...........">
<configurations>
<property name="keepGlobalVariables">true</property>
</configurations>
</BPELProcess>
</BPELSuitcase>

Best practice for using different BPEL domains

Hi BPEL community,
I'm interested in your experience of creating different BPEL domains for grouping your BPEL processes in an enterprise SOA way.
Background is that we have different projects with many BPEL processes and want to find an ideal grouping for them.
Some thoughts are:
- group by project
- group by business domain
- group by characteristics and requirements (long-running, short-running, ...)
Please post your recommendations and experiences!
Best regards,
Harald

publish/subscribe, right?
lots of subscribers, big messages == lots of network traffic.
it's a wide open question, no?

Is Asset Tracking module mandatory for Oracle Install Base implementation?

In the Oracle Install Base implementation guide, it is mentioned that Asset Tracking (previously Enterprise Install Base) Module is mandatory. Our situation does not warrant to implement asset tracking. Do we need to get separate license for Asset tracking if we need to implement Install base? Any insight on this would be highly helpful. Thanks

Technical requirements for E-recruitment tool implementations

Hello,
We are using 4.7 version.
We bought ECC 6.0 just a test server without portal facility for practice. Now we require the portal access. Can anybody says that how we can get that from SAP, Our main purpose is to use E-recrutiment in Portal since we already have ECC 6.0. Now we would like to buy EP tool also, however we need to give complete technical requirements for E-recruitment tool implementations for approval.
your information is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Nydia.

Hi,
For SAP Netweaver Products which includes Enterprise Portal, Business Intelligence and Process Integration you have to buy seperate license.
If you plan to use only E-Recruit then in ECC 6.0 you can install Enterprise Portal as Add-on Component, Generally Portal takes more system resources. If you plan to use only E-Recruit then performance will be fine.
Hope it helps

Any java API to get the metadata for a deployed bpel process in soa/bpm11g?

Hi,
Just wonder if this is possible, that there is some existing java api to retrieve the metadata (containing activities, isSynchrous, version information etc) for a deployed bpel process? If not, is there any other way to achieve this goal ( or example query database table directly)?
I can only find this link for soa11g java api. I am able to invoke the bpel process using this API(direct binding) from java client.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/apirefs.1111/e10659/index.html?overview-tree.html
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bin

What I find so far:
1. can get some process property values from ComponentInstance class, see its api.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/apirefs.1111/e10659/oracle/soa/management/facade/ComponentInstance.html
Please refer http://blogs.oracle.com/soabpm/2009/07/soa_suite_11g_api_tricks_part.html of how to get the component instance (contain the bpel process) from a composite object
2. in dev_soainfra database schema, the CUBE_INSTANCE table contains most of soa bpel components information. The BPM_CUBE_PROCESS table seems to contain only the process defined in a bpm application. This sounds a little confused, if we want to develop a bpel application, should it be put in soa or bpm application and what is the difference?
Please feel free to correct any mistakes here.

How to determine network bandwidth for EP 6.0 implementation

Hi
can you please guide me how to determine the network bandwith requirment for SAP EP6.0 implementation for smoother operation
Thanks & Regards
Ashutosh

Hi Ashutosh,
luckily network bandwidth is mostly not a problem as long as it is not very small, e.g. a modem dial-up 56kbps connection on client side. To make sure that the server side outgoing line is strong enough, you'd need to do some math and calculate from the expected request volume how much bandwidth you'd need. Some guidance might be taken out of the how to paper under this link:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/a1-8-4/how to perform sap enterprise portal load testing.zip.
Check chapter 2.4 in the pdf file.
For "smooth operation" you'd need network wise not only worry about bandwidth but also about network latency times and sometimes network quality in regard to % package losses or similar. If your end users are more then 1000 miles away you usualy start seeing response time increases from latency times...
The impacts of networking on performance are many, but so are the tuning possibilities. If you have a lot of end-users accessing EP over a WAN, perhaps even over the Internet, and if they do so over long distance you might want to make EP landscape WAN tuning a dedicated task in your project.
In addition the network requirements of Portal are discussed in this paper : http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000757275&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000112&_OBJECT=011000358700003943521999E , chapter 3.5.2 Enterprise Portal.

Best Practice: A J2EE Blue-Print for a Typical Web App

Consider a typical synchronous Struts-based Web application which does a simple DB search and post. What are some of the main patterns and components that should be used if following the �industry best practices�
Does the following flow seem accurate?
Strust Action creates a TransferObject , and passes it to a Business Delegate. Delegate finds the appropriate BusinessObject, the Business Object uses the Data Access Object�.the CRUD operation happens and the result is sent back to the Action in the same TransferObject.
Which one of these components need an interface?
What's the best way for this components to interact with each other (factory, etc.)?

There are 3 tiers in a Java EE application. (Presentation, Business, Integration).
The BusinessDelegate in this scenario would be a Presentation-tier business delegate. This guy would interact with a Session Facade who lives on the Business-tier. The SessionFacade is the abstraction on the Business-tier and the Business Delegate is the abstraction on the Presentation-tier. It is these guys that have direct communication. This design enables low coupling between the actual implementations of each area. If done properly, you could go from EJB to Web Service to POJO business models without ever having to change anything in the Presentation-tier.
These object-oriented design patterns are primarily for Enterprise applications with extensive Quality-of-Service requirements.
In your scenario, the Presentation-tier would contain a MVC-based web application, i.e. Struts. The business model and business/domain requirements would be implemented in the Business-tier.
Presentation Tier - Struts Web Application
Business Tier - (EJB | POJO | WEB SERVICES) Application
Integration Tier - (Relational Database | File System | XML Database | EIS)

BPEL implementation design suggestions

Hi all,
Being new to SOA, I'm not really sure whats best practice regarding BPEL and certain problems. I just think that the way I have implemented a BPEL solution is "ugly" and was hoping there was a better solution. So I hope some of you may have some design experience you would share. :-)
We have a legacy system that gives us some unique document ids that we need to use when creating new documents. The problem is that the new system has to be up 24/7 and the legacy system is down for maintenance every night for about 6 hours.
As we are using SOA for the document creation, I have created a BPEL process that retrieves 20000 ids from the legacy system. When we need an id we ask the BPEL process for an id. When there is under 100 id's left, I retrieve 20000 more from the legacy system.
I have implemented this as following:
1. Load 20000 id's via a webservice.
2. Save the 20000 id's in a local database via a database adapter (allows me to get id's from a local database when legacy system is down).
3. Load 1000 id's via a database adapter (into memory).
4. Assign the 1000 id's into a Global variable of the same message type as the Collection used by the database adapter.
5. Each time the BPEL process is called, return the first id and mark it as used (couldn't find out how to delete an entry).
Step 1 and 2 are only called if there are less that 100 id's left in the local db.
The problem is that since the BPEL process returns each time (synchronized webservice process). Its not really a in memory queue system as it will load 1000 id's from the database each time instead of using the memory. I might as well just load one id from the db each time.
If this was Java, I would just load 1000 id's into an arraylist and add more to the arraylist from the db when needed. This would avoid to many db calls.
So how would you implement this i BPEL?
many thanks,
William

Ok guys, Here is one quick example of what i would ideally like to achieve.
[http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk128/ziggy_76/onelayerprocess.jpg|http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk128/ziggy_76/onelayerprocess.jpg]
Everything above the shaded line already exists so i will be developing new components below the shaded line. (i.e. there is already a process that reads from the database and writes to the relevant queue.
The diagram shows that each ftp server will have two processes associated with it. An INftp and OUTftp process. The IN process will be polling the relevant ftp server and writes whatever it reads back into the queue. The OUT process will be checking the queue to see if there are any new items that need to be transffered to a server. Each item in the queue has an IN or OUT flag.
I am wondering whether it is more efficient to use the above approach, or include a new process that reads from both queues and sends the requeust to either the IN or OUT processes which a normal objects.
How would a plugin be used in this situation? If there is a generic class for putting files into an FTP server, does this mean all the PUT processes will need to extend this class? How would i deal with situations where the "putting" requires different logic for each server?
I am thinking that maybe only the logic for "putting" and "getting" should be generic but the preparation should be independent?
And also, what is more efficient to use in terms of performance a java thread or an instantiated object?
Thanks
