Custom Xpath testing : avoid server restart (domain reload) ?

Hi,
We are planning to have a centralized BPEL server for several developers. But apparently, when a developer is working on a custom XPath / XQuery functions, we must retart the server in order to test them ... so the other developers cannot work anymore !
Is there any way to avoid the server restart, and only reload a single domain ?
Thank you.

Absolutely, this is what we will do.
However, we still have an organization problem due to Xquery/Xpath functions, because of the following limitations:
- Xpath functions are per domain as Xquery functions are per server. Can't Xquery functions be per domain ?
- There is no versioning of Xpath/Xquery functions. This is quite annoying especially since Oracle BPEL PM can handle versioning of BPEL Processes.
- Same kind of problem with Jdeveloper : when starting Jdev it would be nice to be able to choose what repository of Xquery functions to use.
- Xpath/Xquery functions need to be deployed manually (XML cut/paste + copy of *.class/*.JAR), there is no standard way to identify a Xpath/Xquery function in a Jdeveloper project so that we can deploy them easily.
We have imagined work-arounds, but they are not fully satisfying:
- Handle Xpath/Xquery versioning in the Java code, by having one parameter as the version number => still a problem for code maintenance, and problem because we need more or less to hard code the version number in our BPEL processes.
- Run multiple instances of BPEL PM on the same application server, so that we can isolate Xquery/Xpath function per version => high server load, expensive.
- Write a Jdeveloper launcher to choose the Xquery functions to use.
- Write a custom deployment tool for Xquery/Xpath => could be quite painful.

Configuration variable for menu changes avoiding server restart

Hi,
After editing/hiding a menu item (in coremenuitems()), is there a configuration variable that helps to immediately reflect the same thereby avoiding server restart.
Thanks in advance

Bpel Server Does Not Catch Exceptions Thrown By Custom Xpath Functions

Hi.
I am using some custom xpath functions in a bpel process and whenever they fail I get an XPathExecutionError with summary:
XPath expression failed to execute.
Error while processing xpath expression, the expression is "<my function>", the reason is FOTY0001: type error.
Please verify the xpath query.
I am forcing my function to fail by giving a wrong input, which should result in an XPathFunctionException("Input does not respect format").
There is a note on Metalink with ID 458434.1 on this subject which says that patch 5926809 should fix my problem.
Patch 5926809 fixes Bug 5926809 - ORA:PARSEESCAPEDXML XPATH EXPRESSION FAILED TO EXECUTE FOTY0001: TYPE ERROR.
I am using it, but it does not work :(
I am using version 10.1.3.3.0 of App Server with various patch sets, including fix for bug 5926809.
Has anyone suggestions on how to overcome this problem?
Thanks

Hello,
I am trying to add a custom xpath function to the BPEL server, and I see that you made it work. I am using Oracle SOA Suite 10.1.3.3 and jDeveloper 10.1.3.4. I am using this function inside an xsl mapping file, although I am able to compile and deploy the Bpel Process to the server, it stops mapping where I placed the function and I have not seen any meaningful message from the domain/log/ files.
Can you tell me how you did it?
I think you will tell me faster than Oracle support, I already placed an SR but they just give me superficial advice.
I appretiate your time and advice,
Guillermo

Reload of composite on server restart

Hi,
We have a processes which is invoking some 5 to 6 other bpel processes.On server restart this dependent process is getting loaded first ,i.e prior to the load of other bpel processes.So the reload is failing with :
The composite OrderRespOAppProcessSrvc (1.0) is not available. This could happen because either the composite has been undeployed or soa-infra has not yet loaded this composite.
Error occurred during deployment of component: OrderRespOAppProcessSrvc to service engine: implementation.bpel, for composite: OrderRespOAppProcessSrvc: ORABPEL-05250 Error deploying BPEL suitcase. error while attempting to deploy the BPEL component file "D:\SOA_Middleware\user_projects\domains\dev_domain\servers\soa_server1\dc\soa_4b0a73b3-5a1e-4ab2-b7b7-41bb8f392586"; the exception reported is: java.lang.IllegalStateException: this is only a psuedo object This error contained an exception thrown by the underlying deployment module.

Is there any way to control the reload of processes when server is restarted.

Hi sab2,
There seems to be no reason for error if you have used correct Abstract WSDLs from the MDS in your composite.xml. The best way to check this is to do a Search for hostname in the entire project and ensure that the host-specific URLs exist only in the composite.xml that too in tags starting with *<binding.ws*. Any other WSDL references e.g. in composite namespaces, in Transformation files Source/target namespaces etc. can be replaced with the abstract WSDLs references.
The task is not done yet. You need to further create the configuration plans corresponding to each server environment where your composite would be deployed e.g. DEV_config_plan.xml, PROD_config_plan.xml. These config plans would replace the concrete locations in your composite.xml at the deployment time.
Also have another issue when we move the jars from dev to prod i see the endpoint on MDS is modified
PROD endpoints but after the process is deployed it still has the Endpoint pointing to Dev URL.
I dont see it any where on the MDS and the Composite WSDL.Are you using proper config plans? If not please use one.
The Process we use to migrate the code from DEV to PROD is by exporting jars from the
DEV instance and deploying them on PRD instance, does this have any effect on the endpoint pointing to the DEV URLI'm not sure about this approach as per the recommended approaches. You can however, use the same deployable JARs and deploy from the FMW console by selecting the appropriate configuration plan.

How to avoid BPEL process deployment after server restart

Hi,
Message flow in my application is as below
BPEL1 --> ESB --> BPEL2
After every server restart the ESB is failing to invoke a perticular operation of BPEL2 service. All other operations of BPEL2 are working fine.
We are redeploying the BPEL2 proccess everytime the server restart happens to fix this issue. As a temporary fix, we are trying to bypass the ESB and directly invoke BPEL2 from BPEL1, but not sure if this solution works.
Can someone please suggest me as to how to avoid redeployment of the BPEL2 process?
Please let me know incase any additional information is required.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Manoj

Hi,
try the SOA forum. This here is for JDeveloper and ADF related questions

Support of extended Xpath in SOA server

I have followed various blog posts to build a user defined function and have successfully integrated it into jDeveloper.
I can now use my "user defined function" and my test composite builds without error or warning, suggesting to me that all
is good so far.
Obviously; if I don't add the function to my SOA server it's not going to do me any good. I find that I cannot follow the instructions
reproduced below because there is no oracle.soa.ext_11.1.1 folder in that location on my server. Can I just make the directory and
add the oracle.soa.ext.jar file (and where can I get one?) and then perform these steps or does the absence of that folder in my
installation indicate that there are problems with the server installation that need further attention?
The jar file containing the functions must be deployed to the WLS Servers hosting the SOA runtime.
Copy the .jar file containing the functions to the Oracle_SOA1/soa/modules/oracle.soa.ext_11.1.1/
folder under the Fusion Middleware Home.
(instructions copied from blog at: https://blogs.oracle.com/bwb/resource/custom_xpath_functions/Creating_Custom_XPath_functions_with_JDeveloper_FullPost.ht…)
For example:
 cp functions.jar /home/oracle/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_SOA1/soa/modules/oracle.soa.ext_11.1.1/
After copying, the final step is to rebuild the registry classpath entries so the SOA runtime is aware of the new functions.
Open a command prompt and change the current directory to the oracle.soa.ext_11.1.1 directory ,
then execute the build.xml file in the oracle.soa.ext_11.1.1 folder using Ant.
This task must be repeated only if the jar is renamed in the future.
Restart the WLS Server that is hosting the SOA Suite Partition so that the new classes are loaded.
Note:
 If Ant is unavailable, the configuration can be done manually as follows:
 Extract the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file from the oracle.soa.ext.jar file.
 Update the classpath entry in the MANIFEST.MF file to include the name of the new function jar
 For example Class-Path: myFunctions.jar classes/
 Update the jar file with the modified META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file.

Hi Keith,
I have done this a few times, the steps I follow are
1. create my custom xpath project. (just a java project in JDeveloper)
2. create my java class implementing IXPathFunction etc
package au.com.rhiggins.soa.xpath;
import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
import java.util.List;
import oracle.fabric.common.xml.xpath.IXPathContext;
import oracle.fabric.common.xml.xpath.IXPathFunction;
import oracle.soa.common.util.Base64Decoder;
import oracle.soa.common.util.Base64Encoder;
public class Base64EncryptDecryptXpath implements IXPathFunction{
 public Object call(IXPathContext context,List args) {
 String str=(String)args.get(0);
 String type=(String)args.get(1);
 if(type.equals("decrypt")){
 return decryptString(str);
 }else{
 return encryptString(str);
3. Create META-INF directory and create ext-soa-xpath-functions-config.xml file (makes the xpath functions available to mediators, bpel, xslt etc (all)).
4. The contents of this file is in this case
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
<soa-xpath-functions xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/soa/config/xpath"
 version="11.1.1"

 xmlns:base64="http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/au.com.rhiggins.soa.xpath.Base64EncryptDecryptXpath">
 
 <function name="base64:base64EncDec">
 <className>au.com.rhiggins.soa.xpath.Base64EncryptDecryptXpath</className>
 <return type="string"/>
 <params>
 <param name="text" type="string"/>
 <param name="type" type="string"/>
 </params>
 <desc resourceKey="BASE64ENCDEC"/>
 <detail>
 <![CDATA[This function takes in two parameters (string, "encrypt"/"decrypt").
 Example usage base64:base64EncDec("hello","encrypt")]]>
 </detail>
 </function>

</soa-xpath-functions>
5. I deploy to a jar file (I always use XPathExtensions.jar)
6. I copy to the <Middleware Home>/user_projects/domains/<Domain Name>/lib as you stated earlier.
7. Restart the server
This works for me each time, I do not change the ora.soa.ext directory etc as this seems to be enough.
Good luck

Custom Xpath registration failed

Imju

Imju,
You mentioned that your class file is located in $ORABPEL_HOME\integration\orabpel\system\classes, but considering your package name this should be $ORABPEL_HOME\integration\orabpel\system\classes\my\test. The alternative, as I just saw you already found out, is putting it in a jar file and place that in the applib directory (although this does not seem to work any more in 10.1.3). The fact that you don't get the error any more during startup probably means that your function is registered successfully now.
My guess is that the problem you are facing now is in the .bpel file itself, where you use your custom function. To use your custom function in a process, you'll have to first define the "test" prefix in the .bpel file by adding
xmlns:test="http://xmlns.oracle.com/test"
to the <process> tag at the beginning of the file. Then, everywhere where you use your function, you'll have to type: test:GetParamValueByName(...)
Hope this helps.

Osb-custom xpath function in 11g

is it possible to place osb-custom.xml in some other locations other than C:\<middlewarehome>\oracle_osb1\config\xpathfunctions and refer it during server startup as we have only read access to oracleOSB1 in production environments???

I understand your reply and we are already doing that.
the osb installation is common across the domains .but i need these custom xpath function reflected only for my domain.
so my query is "whether we can set/overwrite any -D property at server startup or any server/domain level settings rather than updating the installation path?"
I am just trying to understand whether we can avoid conflicts with multiple domains sharing the same installation.

Unable to logged in to SOA server - No domains accessible to the user

Dear Experts,
I am getting the following error when tying to login in to SOA Server.
Error: No domains accessible to the user logged in.
Also I am not able to create new domain and not able to find default domain.
Please suggest me that how can I login to SOA.
Thanks,
Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,
Check 1:
First checkpoint where we can identify the detail of error description is checking the following log files;
Domain Log: $SOA_Home\bpel\domains\default\logs\domain.log ('default' is the default domain name)
- This log file will be created everytime the SOA service is started and will log any domain level startup issues
OPMN Log: $SOA_Home\opmn\logs\OC4J~oc4j_soa~default_group~1.log
- This log file will log all the BPEL process specific logs (creation/termination)
System Log: $SOA_Home\bpel\system\logs\orabpel.log
- System level logging is provided for infrastructure, AXIS, and WSIF issues
All these log files should give a clear picture about the error which might be causing this issue, based on which you can take necessary actions.
Check 2:
Check whether the database on top of which Oracle SOA suite was installed is up & running. If not, ensure the RDBMS listener is running & restart SOA service.
Check 3:
The Oracle SOA suite will be installed on top of a database (Oracle Lite/external Oracle DB), where three schemas would have been created during installation namely Orabpel, Oraesb, Orawsm. These schemas might have got corrupted (or) their passwords might have got changed which throws "No domains accessible to the user logged in." error in Oracle BPEL console. Ensure all 3 schemas are present in the database and their passwords are intact as specified in the datasources.xml/during installation and restart SOA service after corrections.
Check 4:
If any class files have been added in the SOA suite, ensure they are properly compiled and deployed @ $SOA_Home\bpel\system\classes.
Check 5:
If you have added any custom xpath functions for use in the BPEL process, you might have added entries in the $SOA_Home/bpel/system/config/xpath-functions.xml. Ensure that this file is well formed.
Check 6:
If you have deployed any BPEL process recently after which the Oracle BPEL console throws this error, there might be high chance for issues in the deployed BPEL process.
All deployed BPEL processes will be picked up from the following location. Take backup of the existing processes, delete all entries and then restart SOA service.
$SOA_Home\bpel\domains\default\tmp ('default' is the default domain name)
Refer : http://sathyam-soa.blogspot.com/2009/01/oracle-bpel-console-throws-no-domains.html
Hope this helps!

BPEL Server Restarts intermittently

Hi All,
I have got a strange problem with my BPEL Server. Every once in a while the BPEL Server restarts on its own. I do not know if it has to do something with memory leaks or performance or some other reason.
I have made my logs to roll at every 2 GB. I also noticed that the BPEL Domains are reloaded everytime the logs are rolled. If during this restart there is some process on the go then i get erroneous results.
I am not able to reproduce the issue but it does happen intermittently. Has anyone else faced this issue?

Also check logs in $OAS_HOME/opmn/logs/ for "Restart" messages, then check the timeouts for the BPEL instance in $OAS_HOME/opmn/config/opmn.xml. These are maybe too low.

Custom XPath Function not working - ORABPEL-09503 error

I wrote a simple date conversion custom xpath function.
1. Implemented IXPathFunction as mentioned in Clemens and Antony Reynolds blog.
2. Also changed the xpath-functions.xml kept at C:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1\bpel\system\config\xpath-functions.xml and also at C:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1\bpel\domains\default\config\xpath-functions.xml (Not sure why this xml is in two places)
3. Placed my class file at C:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1\bpel\system\classes and also made a jar and placed in C:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1\j2ee\home\applib.
But when I run the process which uses this custom function, it is throwing the following error
<Faulthttp://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/>

My bad. I had a semi-colon after the expression. Now I am getting a different error

Yes, I did that. I'm not all that happy about this as a solution either, but it's better than making multiple copies.
We have since found out that his is a known bug and that it is fixed in some, but not all, deployments.

This document is being delivered to you via Oracle Support's Rapid Visibility (RaV) process and therefore has not been subject to an independent technical review.
Applies to:
Oracle SOA Platform - Version 11.1.1.3.0 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.
Symptoms
A SOA Project has an external reference to a Web Service or a reference to another Composite.
When the SOA Server is started, the Composite is trying to access the WSDL of it's referenced Web Service in order to load data structures. If SOA can not find the WSDL then the Composite fails to load/deploy.
Once this happens the Composite can not be started, or shutdown, from Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control Application.

In the first scenario there are two Composites on the same server: CompositeA and CompositeB.
In SOA Suite 11g there is no possibility to specify the load order for the composites. If CompositeA references CompositeB and if CompositeA is firstly loaded then it can not access the WSDL from CompositeB and the issue occurs.
In the second situation there is one Composite on the server (CompositeA) which references an external WebService (ExternalWS). If the ExternalWS is not available when the SOA Server is starting then this issue occurs.
Solution
Solution 1
Redeploy the affected Composite into the SOA Server.
You can do that but it is not advisable in a production environment and in a development environment it will take a lot of time to redeploy the composite manually
Solution 2
Copy the abstract WSDL locally into the project.
This is documented in these articles in our Knowledge base:
• Document:1155033.1 Node Restart Cause Composites To Become Unavailable. Response: '503: Service Unavailable'
• Document:1151973.1 Boot Order Of The Composites Upon Soa Suite Restart
Steps:
o a. Copy and use the WSDL file in the Project
o b. Edit the WebService Adapter
o c. Change the "WSDL URL" to point to the WSDL copied into the project
o d. Redeploy the Project
o e. Make this configuration with all the Projects that have a references with other Web Services
Solution 3
Use shared artifacts in Metadata Service (MDS). A WSDL used by more than one composite is a shared artifact per definition. If the WSDL structure is changed (that is not happening frequently in a production environment), you will normally deploy a composite with a new version because overwriting it will break your production environment. Moreover, in a development environment you will need a proper process in place where different developers access the same artifacts within MDS. In addition, when you use external WSDLs (owned by third parties), you will have a proper process/agreement in place to be notified about modifications affecting your applications.
1. In order to use shared artifacts a MDS connection must be configured in jDeveloper:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/integration.1111/e10224/sca_lifecycle.htm#SOASE85488
2. Deploy the shared artifacts:
o a. Create a JAR profile and include the artifacts to share
o b. Create a SOA bundle that includes the JAR profile
o c. Deploy the SOA bundle to the application server
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/integration.1111/e10224/sca_lifecycle.htm#SOASE85472
If the shared artifacts (WSDLs) needed are from other composites this step can be skipped
3. Create a new WebService
o a. When completing the "WSDL URL" click on "Find existing WSDL's"
o b. Select "Resource Palette"
o c. Go to the SOA-MDS
o d. Select a WSDL from a Composite or the one deployed at step 2.
Known Restriction 1
The port and the location for the WSDL reference is not completed automatically by jDeveloper in the composite.xml file. This information must be inserted manually. In Bug:10287325 is raised this issue and it is available for SOA 11gPS2+.
Known Restriction 2
Another issue regarding MDS caching is raised in Bug:10218147 - the MDS cache is not refreshed when an artifact is deployed or deleted.
In order to refresh this cache the server must be restarted. This Bug resolves the issue but in a production environment the server restart will be the preferred option. The reason for that is because in a production environment you never deploy single composites under the same version after artifacts (WSDLs) have been modified.
The fix for the Bug:10218147 can be an acceptable solution in development environment where redeployment would be quicker than restarting the server.
Bug:10218147 is available for SOA 11gPS2+.

Solution 4
The last solution is to use an UDDI (Universal Description Discovery and Integration).
Oracle recommends Oracle Service Registry 11g (OSR). The advantage is that you can use OSR and SOA Suite in a Shared WebLogic Domain.

Abstract: WHEN SOA SERVER IS RESTARTED, SOME SOA COMPOSITES COULD NOT LOAD/BE DEPLOYED
Detailed Problem Description
====================
When a SOA composite get dependencies with other SOA composites located on the same server, if the dependency is still not loaded, the SOA composite will not be loaded, and there is no possibilities for Entreprise Manager console to restart it (EM crash). The only way to make it working is to redeployed the SOA composite from jDeveloper that is not acceptable in a production environment.
The composite that has the issue cannot be start-up or shut-down, although the Enterprise Manager do not show any errors with it.

OSB: class not found in custom xpath function

Hi,
This week I was struggling with custom xpath functions in OSB. First I created a jar file that contained the class and the complete functionality including logging. It contains a class that does a DVM Lookup from the database. As a standalone function, called from JUnit test cases it functions perfectly. I use Apache commons logging with the libraries from the Weblogic installation.
But when I put this OSB Util Services jar in the osb-home/config/xpath-function, it turns out that somehow the Weblogic Console gets a conflict with the commons-logging libraries. So I deployed it just as an application library in weblogic console, to solve this breakage.
Then I created a simple separate class that only calls the method in the deployed library. I packaged that as a custom-osb-functions.jar for the osb-home/config/xpath-function. I managed to get if visible in OEPE. But when I test the xquery transformation resource on the server, I get:
Error executing the XQuery transformation: {http://www.bea.com/wli/common/xquery}XQueryException: Error invoking custom xquery java function: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

Can any one explain to me how I can get the OSB Util Services jar library in the same classpath as the custom-xpath-functions jar, without having it put along the custom-xpath-functions jar in the osb-home/config/xpath-functions folder (since that somehow breaks the weblogic console)?
How does the OSB classpath/classloading mechanisms work in this?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Martien

Business Objects 4.0 Server Restart Order

Hi All,
SAP has recommended to us to do a monthly server restart for our servers to clean out temporary and orphaned jobs and such.
We currently have a clustered CMS environment with another clustered processing tier for the adaptive job servers.
My question is the order in which this restart should happen.
Should we just stop and restart the SIA? Will that accomplish the goal?
Or should we stop the job servers, then the CMS and then restart the CMS and next the job servers?
If anyone has any advice, please let me know.
Thanks!

I agree with SAP to restart the servers at least weekly once or monthly once to resolve the stuck processes, orphans or zombies in the system.
I have seen when the CMS db connections overload with SQL server happened it didn't resolve the issue with simple SIA restart then it forced us to restart the servers.
Either the servers are VM or Physical it is best to restart the servers weekly once in the following order.
If you are in clustered mode assuming 2 CMS nodes with multiple processing nodes.
I would recommend to setup some batch job to execute all the stops/restarts from one server instead of from each server.
1) Write the batch script and place it on last processing node ( Assume 2 CMS nodes and 4 Processing nodes then script will run from 4th processing node)
          Stop the SIA/Tomcat on Processing node 4
          wait for 3 minutes
          Stop the SIA/Tomcat on Processing Node 3
          Wait for 3 minutes
          Stop the SIA/Tomcat on processing Node 2
          Wait for 3 minutes
          Stop the SIA/Tomcat on Processing Node 1
          Wait for 3 minutes
          Stop the SIA/Tomcat on CMS node 2
          Wait for 5 minutes
          Stop the SIA/Tomcat on CMS Node 1
          Wait for 5 minutes
          Restart CMS Node 1
          Wait for 7 to 10 minutes
          Restart CMS Node 2
          Wait for 7 to 10 minutes
          Restart Processing Node 1
          Wait for 7 to 10 minutes
          Restart Processing Node 2
          Wait for 7 to 10 minutes
          Restart Processing Node 3
          Wait for 7 to 10 minutes
          Restart Processing Node 4
You have to make sure that your CMS nodes are starting prior to processing nodes to avoid any issues.
Make sure no network communication issues between servers other wise some times it leads to some services on processing nodes lead to either Running/Disabled or Initializing/Disabled which requires force termination and start of the service.
You have to do the validation testing after every week restart.

Server 2008 Domain Controller won't sync with domain for time

Hi,
I have a Windows Server 2008 Domain Controller, a physical machine. When I run w32tm /query /status it shows the source as: Local CMOS clock. What ever I seem to try I cannot get it to look at the PDC to sync for time. Using RsOP I can see the correct policy
is in place, pointing to the correct server. I have checked the registry key and the correct server is in there under \HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Paramaters.
I have tried various w32tm commands such as seeting the /manualpeerlist to the correct server, /syncfromflags:DOMHIER. I have also used w32tm /config /update, making sure to restart the w32time service.
But whatever I do I cannot get it to sync from the network, it always shows Local CMOS clock. The time on the server is starting to drift now. When I use w32tm /resync /rediscover I get an error message: "The computer did not resync because no time
data was available". There is no firewall between the 2 servers blocking port 123.
Any ideas why this is happening?
Thanks
