How does BPEL Fault Management Framework gel with ESB Error Handling ?

I see that BPEL 10.1.3.3 has pretty neat Fault Management Framework (although I have to admit it is not very well advertised).
The next logical question is: what about ESB ? Would that help in ESB error handling ? I understand that ESB has its own Error Hospital etc.; however, we have to constantly grapple with two distinct paths for any piece of integration functionality (1. ESB 2. BPEL). I guess, all of this will be moot in the 11g timeframe. Still wondering if anyone out there has somehow unified error handling for these two distinct offerings ?

It's not available in ESB, you have to implement/extend that by your self. Off course in the next release everthing will be better :-)
But, if you are able to use Oracle AIA (http://edelivery.oracle.com) You could use Oracle AIA Foundation, that has a fault 'hospital' implemented both for BPEL and ESB.

Oracle Fault Management Framework - how to intercept first invocation

I know the Oracle Fault Management Framework is only activated on faults that occur on invokes.
Which is fine for all internal calls.
However, is there any way to get the framework to be activated on the very first invoke?
I want to be able to get the framework to log all fault details and then rethrow. I'ms using Oracle version 10.1.3.4.
However, if an external third party calls my process (say Process A) and an error occurs in process A that is NOT from an invoke, eg xpath error.
The framework does NOT get activated.
Any ideas how to get around this other than going into every BPEL and adding in a catchAll , log, throw fault?
Thanks.

There should be no difference between managing internal and external calls using the fault handler.
If we can just talk about process A as a BPEL process which utilizes the fault management.
It should not matter where the services process A calls reside. The fault management system will only get calls as part of an error occurring on an invoke.
I don't agree with your comment that the framework will get called if a fault occurs any where within the domain. e.g. If process A has an assign activity and fails because it can't convert a string into date. The fault management system will not be called. Therefore it is independent if the services process A calls are internal or external.
What is your reasoning behind having a process that continues in the event of a fault when the first fault could cause subsequent faults.
If no fault is manged either by the framework or a catch then the raw error will be returned back to the consumer. So you will be able to debug that initial fault. Does this not fulfill your uses case?

10.1.3.3 fault management framework and catchall problem

Hi all,
I have a BPEL process with a catchall exception block for the entire process (in the .bpel file). The errorhandling determines if action needs to be taken on a given exception and notify's tech support with an e-mail if action needs to be taken. This works fine.
However, it would be nice if you could retry faulted instances if for instance a web service was temporarily down. Here the fault management framework comes to the rescue. I have created default policy and fault-binding files. I have set it up so that any error goes to human interaction. Apparently this worked. An instance pending manual recovery was created, and it could be retry'ed from the BPEL console.
So here is my problem: The fault management framework apparently overwrites the catchall exception in the BPEL process, so that while a task for human interaction is created the error block is not excuted first - meaning that no e-mail notification is sent and no differentiating between exception occurs.
If I remove the default policy and fault-binding files then the catchall is used again.
This may be expected behaviour, but I assume that it is possible to use both a catch all block in the bpel code AND the generic fault management framework.
Does anybody have any ideas?
Your assistance will be much appreciated.
Regards,
Aagaard

Hi Aagaard,
The BPEL Error Hospital that Oracle introduced with SOA Suite 10.1.3.3 will prevent you from having to model the handling of Binding Faults or Runtime Faults in BPEL processes.
Hope in the future we will also be able to specify policies for handling custom faults that may occur anywhere in the BPEL process, i.e. not only on invoke activities.
This framework will gives us the opportunity to handle all the business and runtime faults for an “invoke” activity. With the framework we can define one policy for every bpel domain.
In the bpel/domains/default/config/fault-policy-binding.xml , we can setup the policies we would use and which processes,partnerlinks,port types will be part of it.
If there is already some fault-handling (catch) defined in the the bpel process, the framework will overrule this, and use a policy if possible.
Hope that answers your question!
Cheers

Fault Management Framework

Hi folks,
I am studying the Fault Management Framework that comes with BPEL.
It is a really nice feature: in a single place I can define a strategy for handling errors that occurs in the invoke activity of any BPEL process.
I have a question about this: is there a similar tool or framework to handle in a single place errors that can occur in ANY activity of the BPEL process not only in the invoke activity.
In other words, instead of using catchall in all of BPEL processes (and writing the same code in all BPEL processes) can I use the Fault Management Framework (or write some BPEL code) to catch errors like : selectionFailure, joinFailure or others and associate specific action with them?
If anybody has an idea feels free to explain it!

No.

BPEL Fault Management and Notification

Hi peers - has anyone successfully implemented Email Notification as part of a Fault Management Framework approach to their BPEL projects - i.e implemented the necessary entries in a fault-policies.xml file to allow an email notification to be sent as part of standard procedure? I acknowledge the custom Java approach, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel if someone has done it already.
Any help much appreciated.

How does new Label Management feature works in Aruba Central?

Q: How does new Label Management feature works in Aruba Central?
A: Central provides a standard web-based interface that allows you to configure and monitor multiple Aruba Wi-Fi networks.
With as many as devices that central could manage, searching a specific device or set of devices becomes difficult. This is where "Label management" feature of Aruba Central helps out.
With "Label Management", administrator can create various labels in advance and use them to assign it to different IAPs or Switches as required. Once the labels are assigned, user can use the label string to search a device or group of devices in central.
Follow these steps create various set of labels in "Label Management":
Login to Aruba Central and click on "All Groups"
In the left-menu, under "Maintenance" select "Label Management"
Click on "Create Label" button and create as many labels you require as per the environment and ease of use.

for rating . you need to enable rating from List options and choose if it's going to be 5 star or like
to add like button to each page in a publishing site you can use the below script
function LikePage() {
var aContextObject = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
EnsureScriptFunc('reputation.js', 'Microsoft.Office.Server.ReputationModel.Reputation', function () {
Microsoft.Office.Server.ReputationModel.
Reputation.setLike(aContextObject, _spPageContextInfo.pageListId, _spPageContextInfo.pageItemId;, true);
aContextObject.executeQueryAsync(
function () {
alert('you liked the page'); //here you can update the likes count of the page
}, function (sender, args) {

Unless you enabled Find My iPad on it before it was stolen then there isn't any way to locate it. If you did enable it then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPad disabled on it.
If it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.
If it was never registered to your account then it won't appear on your support profile : https://supportprofile.apple.com/
The only other ways to find it that I know of (apart from on the actual device) are via the packaging, the backup on a computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4061

10.1.3.3 fault management to simplify our complex error hospital pattern

We have designed an error hospital pattern on 10.1.3.1, this consists of :
1. A loop around key components of each process which may fail and need retry (e.g. invokes, database operations)
2. Within each error loop a fault handler, this catches faults as they are thrown and passes them onto another BPEL error handling process (with a nested fault handler in case this invoke fails which spits error out to a file), the error handler can reply with retry (loop around again) or cancel (exit loop), if no response is received an automated retry occurs
3. An error service process which creates a human task for an error to be dealt with
4. A web app which allows users to process the tasks created by the error service, user can inspect data, see fault detail and mainly just select to cancel or retry the failed operation (including multi select if for example hundreds of processes had hit the same error)
This has been refined and is now operating nicely in production, but the development (items 1 and 2 above) and testing effort involved is high - frequently more than the actual business logic. In a 3GL this error handling would be simplified by having a nice reusable piece of code (proceudre or method call) that could go in the error handling loop, rather than putting a whole set of logic (invoke, pick, handling of faults in the error handling code, etc).
I'm aware of the fault management framework in 10.1.3.3 which does a subset of our functionality, we are now looking back at the error hospital we have created and wondering if we could simplify. The main stumbing block I see with the fault management framework is that we need to decide whether to do an automated retry after some interval or whether to await human action, we want to do both, await human activity but if they don't action it retry the operation. I'm thinking that we could achieve everything that we have got by a slight manipulation of the error management framework, as follows :
A. Define faults such that all faults cause human intervention.
B. Create a daemon process which scans for activities requiring human intervention and automatrically triggers a rety after a configurable period (so that things like database errors will get auto retried)
C. Adapt our web app to look for and operate on activities outstanding rather than workflow tasks.
Questions:
i) To support B/C above is there a java api this daemon can use or is it a question of updating the rdbms
ii) Am I underestimating what can be done with the java action fault policy ?
iii) To make our existing approach easier, is there a way of doing an invoke and pick operation actually within an embedded java routine to minimise the amount of code we have in each error handling block
Hope this makes sense, thanks in advance - there seem to be a lot of knowledgeable people out there in this forum.

Some futures in bpel which are not possible with ESB and vice versa

Can anyone please tell me some futures in bpel which are not possible with ESB and For some features available in ESB that are absence in BPEL?

I think you've mistaken the meaning of both technologies. ESB actually works as a part of BPEL, for instance you can create partner link from any esb service.
ESB service can only expose data or retrieve and process (transform) them from another service. BPEL is using services like ESB as a source and adds decision making functionality which is not present in ESB.

How does BPEL connect to JMS??

Hi All,
I have a BPEL process which basically logs a message into a JMS Q..This process runs forever and when ever a new message is to be logged we return the same instance instead of a new instace..
Now a couple of questions I have on this is -
How does the connection to JMS work,is it like there is 1 conncetion for the entire BPEL process which is used every time I wanna add a new message,or is it like a new connection is created and destroyed with every invioke to the JMS..
I need to make sure a instance of this process already exist so that I can return the same,is there any way my parent process can chek if there is an instance of the child process and if yes it will call that instance ,if No then it will create a new instance..
Is there any way I can initiate a BPEL process through ant?
It would be grt if any 1 can throw some light on these.. thnx..
Regards,
Akshatha

Each JMS queue/topic has a single persistent image. Any reference to that queue through the relevant connection factory returns the reference to the same instance.
There may be many different queues, but each is uniquely identified by its jndi name.
Name each of your JMS queues differently for each separate endpoint you wish to consume messages from.
You could use ant to initiate a process by invoking the web-service sending a soap message to the url for the processes web-service. I use soap-ui or the BPEL Console to manually do the initiation, and to determine what makes up the soap packet that is forwarded to the web service. I am not aware of any task that does this for you so you would have to construct a http type target yourself.
