Garbage values getting inserted using Database Adapter

Hi,
I am facing a particular problem for an interface in the prod env. The problem is like this...
The interface pulls record set from database and some records in the set is in "French". But in the output variable of the invoke activity , the payload shows some junk values for those values (e.g Name) in French.
If anybody has ever encountered such problem, please let me know the solution.
Waiting for a reply asap...
Thanks a lot
P.S

HI
Please provide me below details.
1) had u found junk characters in log file or destination application?
2) Is integration is between Two database applications? if yes, please check whether NLS_LANG parameters are set properly for the language.
3) As this was found in production,I guess this issue was not encoutntered while testing.So,please compare the settings/setup done in testing instance and Production instance.
4) if still cannot fix,please update this thread with type of integration (DB to DB or Db to File or any otheer) and adapter properties.
Thanks

How to use Database Adapter in BPEL

I want to use Database Adapter in BPEL to transfer data from one table to other table and the data is still hold in the read table?
I can find a example from http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/integrate.1013/b28994/adptr_db.htm#BDCIGDCB.
And the general design of my BPEL is as following:
1. Add a "status" column to the read table. And alter the value of status column of all data in read table to "unreaded".
2. Then create a empty BPEL (BPELAdapter) Project.
3. Add a Database Adapter:
(1) In step 1 of Adapter Configuration Wizard, configure the Service Name to datain.
(2) In step 2, configure the database connection.
(3) In step 3, choose "Poll for New or Changed Records in a Table".
(4) Then click Import Tables button, and choose the read table.
(5) In step 5, choose a column.
(6) Don’t do anything in step 6 and 7.
(7) In step 8, choose "Update a Field in the [Datain] Table (Logical Delete)".
(8) In step 9, configure Logical Delete Field to STATUS, configure Read Value to readed and configure Unread Value to unreaded.
(9) Don’t do anything in step 10 and 11.
4. Add a receive activity to connect to above database adapter.
5. Add another Database Adapter. Then configure this database adapter service WSDL:
(1) In step 1 of Adapter Configuration Wizard, configure the Service Name to dataout.
(2) In step 2, configure the database connection.
(3) In step 3, choose Perform an Operation on a Table (and all items under it).
(4) Then click Import Tables button, and choose the write table.
(5) In step 5, choose a column.
(6) Don’t do anything in step 6, 7 and 8.
6. Add a invoke activity to connect to above database adapter.
7. Add a assign activity between the receive activity and invoke activity. And configure the assign copy operation.
But after I deploy this BPEL project to the BPEL server and invoke this project, I get following error. Meanwhile, this BPEL don't take effect.
The following exception occured while processing this request:
Can't find partnerLinkType 2.
in
"file:/D:/soft/SOASuite/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_1/bpel/domains/default/tmp/.bpel_BPELAdapter_1.0_e82210b05e4d3e997eed581d0d220293.tmp/_BPELAdapter.wsdl" WSDL to find PartnerLinkType "{http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/db/datain/datain_plt"。
How to resolve?
Thanks,
Melody

Now, I can insert data into the table through Database Adapter.
But still can't select data from the table through Database Adapter.
Above error still happen when invoke the read database table with Database Adapter project:
Can't find partnerLinkType 2.
in
"file:/D:/soft/SOASuite/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_1/bpel/domains/default/tmp/.bpel_BPELAdapter_1.0_e82210b05e4d3e997eed581d0d220293.tmp/_BPELAdapter.wsdl" WSDL to find PartnerLinkType "{http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/db/datain/datain_plt"。

Error while invoking custom API using Database Adapter

Hi,
I've a requirement where in I need to fetch the data returned by a recordtype of a custom API. I've implemented this by invoking the custom API using Database Adapter. I'm facing a problem while performing this.
The custom API holds the signature as:
PROCEDURE EMP_DET
Argument Name Type      In/Out Default?
P_DEPTNO NUMBER IN
L_LINE_TBL TABLE OF RECORD OUT
I've a schema with which it needs to be validated. It looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:po="http://www.mycompany.com/ns/sales" targetNamespace="http://www.mycompany.com/ns/sales" elementFormDefault="qualified">

</complexType>
</element>
</schema>
I did a transformation to the above stated Emp.xsd with the xsd created for my custom API by the BPEL process. I could create the process and deploy successfully, but while invoking I get the following error. (I'm using BPM 10.1.3.1 with JDev 10.1.3.1)

Issue with DB Adapter - ORABPEL-11811

How to use Database adapter as inbound adapter without having polling strategies?

Hi All,
I have a requirement wherein I have to use Database adapter to retrieve the data for every half an hour from one(X app) database and update that data into another application(Y app) .That database adapter will be along with BPEL process.My Flow would be like this:
Database Adapter( In 'exposed services' section) ----->   BPEL (in 'Components') -----> Y app service( in 'External References' section)
My questions for each step are below
     1) I have to retrieve the data from database(x app database) for every half an hour.So I have to schedule my whole process such that it should execute for every half an hour.
Means I have to get whatever the data is updated in the last half an hour in that database.
      The database adapter should be inbound in SOA composite editor(in 'Exposed services' section).
But in order to have inbound adapter,we have select the 'Poll for New or Changed Records in a Table' option in turn we have to select one of polling operations below:
         Delete the Row(s) that were Read
Update a Field in the [Table_Name] Table (Logical Delete)
Update a Sequencing Table
Update an External Sequencing Table on a Different Database
Control Table Strategy
But the problem is I don't have any control on the database(X app database) ,So (I can't update any data on that table,because that table may not have a field or table to update the processed rows)I can't choose any of the above operations.
How can I achieve what I want that is to retrieve the data and schedule the process?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Heckler,
Thank you very much for your answer that I can proceed further somehow.
I still need to have some clarifications.
In order to have a process which retrieves the data (Inbound operation) and updates the data into other application, the data(from X app) should be the request(through DB adapter) of the BPEL process.
X app does not do anything to send.We have(the BPEL process) to receive the data (or) no event is triggered.
The flow :
Database Adapter( In 'exposed services' section to retrieve data) ----->   BPEL (in 'Components') -----> Y app service( in 'External References' section)
How can we ensure the data will be request to BPEL process(means it will be in 'exposed services' section in SOA composite editor) for every half an hour if we use pick activity and database adapter as first activity?
When we use ''Poll for New or Changed Records in a Table' ,then only adapter becomes inbound and comes into the 'exposed services' section.I can't use it as I don't have any control on the source table.
I have this confusion before starting the process.Please help me to clear out the doubts.
And this whole process should be executed automaticallly for every half an hour(means it creates instance for every half an hour) Once we build the BPEL process.
How to schedule it?
And where do I need to create control table ?You mean I have to use some different database where in I have to create the table?

Insert Multiple records using Database adapter with Stored procedure func

Hi All,
I want to insert multiple records on a database using a stored procedure. I wanted to insert those records using a Database Adapter and the Database adapter should be invoked by a Mediator.
Can somebody suggest me with ideas whether it can be acheived with OOB capabtilities in SOA suite or not?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Thanks,
Shiv

The use case you want to achieve is feature supported by the DBAdapter and it is possible to invoke the same from mediator.
Please have a look at the oracle documentation and you should be able to get the necessary information.
The below links should help you as well:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/integration.1111/e10231/adptr_db.htm

How to insert a NULL value in SQL using JDBC Adapter

Hi All,
I have a File -> JDBC scenario.
In the File and in the SQL table I have a column called "MR_DATE" that needs to be mapped
I have to do the following:
If MR_DATE is NOT equal to "00000000"
then pass MR_DATE to SQL table
else
set the MR_DATE column in the table as NULL.
Please suggest
regards,
Piyush

Hi Piyush,
In the receiver JDBC adapter select the option Interpretation of Empty String Values as NULL.
Pass date as empty, it will be interpreted as NULL by adapter and inserted in database.

Problems while compiling a project that uses Database Adapter

Hi,
I am working on a small WebService that uses the Database Adapter to connect with the Oracle-Lite database. The process is a synchronous process which has client and DatabaseService as the partner link. The goal of this project is to get two inputs from the user and send it over to the DatabaseService for it to select the rows from the table based on the inputs sent. The process activity has an invoke function which had two varibles Invoke_1_inputVarible and Invoke_1_outputVarible. I have included the *.xds that contains the database schema. When I compile the project i get the following error
Error(38): [Error ORABPEL-10035]: wrong messageType [Description]: in line 38 of "D:\OraBPELPM_2\integration\jdev\jdev\mywork\Workspace1\Login\Login.bpel", messageType "{http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/db/ds/}EmployeeRole_msg" of variable "Invoke_1_dsSelect_InputVariable" does not match the expected messageType "{http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/db/ds/}dsSelect_inparameters" in <invoke>. [Potential fix]: make sure the correct variable is used in invoke.
My question is how do I assign correct messageType for the variables.

Partial Records insertion using DB Adapter - SOA 11g

Hi,
We have a BPEL process in which we are inserting records in a table using DB Adapter. Currently if the input data has any problem of data type miss-match then all the records are rejected. None of the records are inserted in the table. Whole batch is rejected.
We have a new requirement that when there is problem is any record, then only that problematic record is rejected and rest of the records are inserted in the table. Is it possible to do so?
Thanks,
Sanjay

In that case, its better to move the insert statement into procedure and do the insert and return value, if the insert statement is more then this will increase the performance time.
How many rows you will insert at very worst case ? like 100 lines ?
Thanks,
Vijay

Using Database Adapter

Hi all,
Is it possible to read data from multiple tables using the database adapter.
say for example i have 2 tables
first table gives details abt person personal details like name ,age,etc.
second table gives details abt person offical detaisl lik company,experience.
how to i read the details from 2 tables using a single database adapter.is it possible to read that way?
any suggestions!!
Thanks ,
Karthik

After the imports you have select the relationships between the tables and the proceed to customize your query.
Take some time and do some simple select sample exercises and you must be clear.

FORALL inserts using database link

Hi,
is there any way work around by which we can implement bulk inserts using FORALL across database link ?
regards
nic

How about using a view as a layer to hide the db-link?
Don't know if that will work.
Also possible:
Instead of "INSERT INTO targetTable@dbLink as SELECT * FROM sourceTable"
do "INSERT INTO myTable AS SELECT * FROM sourcetable@dbLink" on the other database.

How to set null value for a date column using database adapter

Hello,
I have a table wih 3 columns
(id NUMBER,
modified_on DATE
contentText VARCHAR2)
I have a row wih theses values (1, 20/03/2010 16:30, 'coucou')
I want use a DB adapter in a BPEL process to change the value of column modified_on to (null). I'm using the out-of-he box "update" method (no custom sql, nieher "insert or update (merge)" method)
- If I only set values of "Id" and "contentText" -> insert is done but I missed the modification of "modified_on" to (null)
- If I set all values and use expression '' (2 single quote without any space) for modified_on I got an error on update
BWriteInteractionSpec Execute Failed Exception.

its my personal need..then it is a very bad personal need. DATE is not an appropriate type to be using for a primary key, as it cannot be guaranteed to be unique, especially when inserting multiple rows at once.
You would be better working to business needs and implementing correct technical solutions to those needs, than to just do things based on your personal needs.

Multiple messages enqueuing into one table using Database Adapter

Hi All,
I am trying to fetch records from one table and insert into another table in the same database using two DB adapters each for one function.When trying for one record,it is working fine.But for more than one records using for-each loop I am unable to insert the records into the table.Can anyone suggest any solution.
For DB Adapter 1 and 2 I am selecting "Perform an operation on a Table".
Options being selected in case of both adapters:-
DB Adapter1-'select' and DB Adapter2- 'Insert'
Regards,
Niva Das

Do not know the exact implementation how you have done but this is what you can do to narrow down the issue.
you can check out the instance to know whether you are able to fetch multiple records from the first table.
If that works fine then you can check the transformation whether the data is getting transformed in to correct format.
If that too works fine check out whether the invocation to second db adapter is fine or not.

How to set fetchsize of sql Query when using Database Adapter.

Hi All,
I am using DatabaseAdapter to connect to database and retriving huge amount of data.For improvement in the performance I want to set the "fetchsize" of sql query. I know fetchsize can be preset in Java using Jdbc 2.0 API.Please let me know how to set this value in BPEL when using DBAdapter?
Thanks
Chandra

I talked to the developer of the db adapter - and he told me this feature will be available in BPEL PM 10.1.3 (which is supposed to be production later this year, and a public beta soon). If this is an emergency I would recommend going throug Oracle support and have them file an enhancement for 10.1.2.0.2

SQL>
The abc_hesids table exists in database A and this insert is running in database B. A database link exists such that abc_hesids is a synonym for the table of the same name in database A.
I want Oracle to insert into the table in database A but use the package HES_Common in database B. I think this is possible but have not done this sort of thing for a while. Note : the package HES_Common exists in both databases A and B
Any ideas on how to get Oracle to use the local version of the package - do I have to get the DBA to change global_names to TRUE ??

ORA-02069 global_names parameter must be set to TRUE for this operation
Cause: A remote mapping of the statement is required but cannot be achieved because GLOBAL_NAMES should be set to TRUE for it to be achieved.
Action: Issue ALTER SESSION SET GLOBAL_NAMES = TRUE if possible.

Commit each record while insert using DB adapter

Hi,
I am working on an ESB process, wherein i use the DB adapter to insert multiple records into a table.
The ave count of records could easily be more that 50.
Appears, the default behaviour of the adapter is to commit only once after all records have been inserted. However, need is to commit each row as i insert it. Will help even if i can commit in batches of say, 10.
Please advice how this may be done.
Regards,
Sambhav.

The DBAdapter does this in single commit, so that a rollback can take place in case of failure.
You will need to use compensate activity if at all you want to commit mid way.
Is there any particular reason that you are looking to commit them in shorter batches?
