How is licensed the Oracle Service Bus? wasnt it part of the SOA Suite?

Why
it is not clear for us how the oracle service bus is licensed, in terms that we thought it was included on the Oracle SOA Suite , we are referring to newer releases
is it licensed a part from the soa suite?
Thanks!

thanks!
so just to put it clear, In case in which we are licencing both weblogic an soa suite the enterprise edition the OSB is included on the licence fee right?
3.2 Oracle Service Bus
Oracle Service Bus is a lightweight SOA integration platform, or "enterprise service bus". Oracle Service Bus includes Oracle SOA Suite Adapters (see Chapter 5, "Oracle Fusion Middleware Adapters").
Oracle Service Bus is licensed as an option to Oracle WebLogic Suite and is also included in Oracle SOA Suite for Oracle Middleware and Oracle Mobile Suite. Users running Oracle SOA Suite for Oracle Middleware on WebLogic Server Basic may not run Oracle Service Bus (see Section 3.5, "Oracle SOA Suite for Oracle Middleware and Oracle BPEL Process Manager Option Licensing with Oracle Internet Application Server").
Prerequisite: A license to Oracle WebLogic Suite is a prerequisite to license and use Oracle Service Bus.

How do I install Oracle Service Bus?

Much thanks to anyone who can help! I have been a developer for 20 years and I have never had so much trouble with run a setup program.
I am trying to install Oracle Service Bus 11g on a Windows 7 machine. I have successfully installed WebLogic 10.3. The Oracle Service Bus installation program wants me to enter the paths for Oracle Middleware Home, Oracle Home Directory, Weblogic Server Location and OEPE Location. No matter what I enter for these I am told they are incorrect. For example:
Specified Weblogic home location is not a valid location.
Let's concentrate on just the Weblogic home location. I have tried every directory and sub-directory where Weblogic has been installed. No matter what path I enter, I get the error message above.
Setup defaults this path location to C:\bea_default\wlserver_10.3 so I tried copying everything to this path. Still I am told the location is not a valid location. How does anyone ever get this to work? What am I doing wrong?

Hi.
I have exactly the same problem than 786801. In the "Specify Installation Location" screen of the Oracle Service Bus installation process, after providing the correct paths, the message "INST-07248: Specified Weblogic home location is not a valid location" appears.
WebLogic Server 10.3.3 is installed in /opt/oracle/middleware
The folder wlserver_10.3 exists under that path, so I'm entering /opt/oracle/middleware/wlserver_10.3 as WebLogic Server Location.
In addition to the WebLogic Server, I have installed SOA Suite 11g without problems. The database schemas for that products have been created with the Repository Creation Utility.
I don't know what to do. Any help would be so much appreciated.
Here are some lines of the installation log, where the problem appears:

It doesn't give much info, just that the path is invalid and the error type.

Error using the test console of the Oracle Service Bus 11gR1

Hi I am facing a an issue while using the test console of the Oracle Service Bus 11gR1 .
Every time I try to execute a business service or a proxy service I end up getting the following message.
Error Accessing Test Configuration
*"Test Console" service is not running. Contact administrator to start this service.*
In fact to add to my frustration I am unable to execute any of my proxy services from outside clients like SOAPUI as well.
Is anyone else facing this too ??
Also every time the server starts I can see some diagnostic error messages on my Eclipse console.
*[ERROR] AdapterManager - ServletContainerAdapter manager not initialized correctly.*
Attached the whole log at the end below.
To provide an update on my trouble shooting
1. ) I tried to give the IntegrationAdmin and IntegrationDeployer roles to my admin user. in fact i also tried to give it all the possible privileges.
Result: Still the same error message.
Error Accessing Test Configuration
"Test Console" service is not running. Contact administrator to start this service.

This is really putting me off and its really disappointing to see all these issues in this new release.
How can oracle let a release slip in with such a Major Issue.
Please can any one help or provide a work around atleast.
Regards
Nitin

I guess till version 10gr3.1 you only needed to start one server and it allowed to access both admin and service bus console.Yes, in 11g as well you may access the admin and OSB console by just starting the admin server but in 11g OSB configuration gets deployed on OSB server (managed server) and test service also runs over this server.
Are you saying there is some other server I need to start just for running the test console ????Yes. Managed server osb_server1 needs to be started for deploying, testing and accessing OSB resources.
As If the OSB server was not running how can I check my published services, modify them and do all the bits and pieces after opening the open the service bus console but not just test them???You can modify and save your configuration without staring OSB server but if you will check in change centre then all the changes being done without starting OSB server will remain in partially activated state.
I have been using the service bus for 3 years and I have never faced any such issue.With each new release you may get new features and with a major release like 11g, architecture and functionality may change.
If it all there is some other server I need to start then whats the process to do so ??Open command prompt. Navigate to $Domain_Home/bin and run command
startManagedWeblogic.cmd <nameOfManagedServer>
for eg. -
D:\OFMW11g\mw\user_projects\domains\ofmw_domain\bin>startManagedWebLogic.cmd osb_server1
Once this server is up and running, try using test console.

Oracle Service Bus 11g ... caching the database lookup

Hi All,
I have a requirement where I create a OSB service.
The OSB Service, on every request, performs look up from the database to get saved properties from the table.
These properties in the database table get changed from time to time through an User Interface.
Now I want to minimize database lookup from the OSB and hence trying to arrive to a solution, where the properties are looked up and cached in memory initially. And OSB serves each request by looking up cached information. And on an event when the user changes the properties through the user interface, the properties are looked up and re-cached in memory.
Any help on this is much appreciated.
Regards,
Srini

Hi Srini,
You may leverage the service result caching feature of OSB 11g. For more detail, please refer -
section "34.7.5 Improving Performance by Caching Business Service Results" at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e15867/configuringandusingservices.htm#CHDDCGEE and section 18.2.23 Message Handling Configuration Page at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e15867/business_services.htm#i1141909

Oracle Service Bus 11gR1

We are able to install and bring up Oracle Service Bus 11gR1.
When the architecture of installed Oracle Service Bus 11g R1 has only the Admin server, we are able to login to the sbconsole and console,
But our as per our current architecture requirement we need to have Admin server and 2 Managed servers with Cluster between them.
In this situation we are unable to get the sbconsole to login. Could we please get some inputs on how to bring up the sbconsole?
Thanks in advance !!

Login to weblogic admin console, go to deployments section and make sure that web-application "ServiceBus_Console" is in active state.

Oracle service bus and composing two web services

All,
Do let me know your thoughts on this.
Currently we have two web services
Web Service 1 - Verify Eligibility
Web Service 2 - Approve Proposal
Web Service 1 has one operation and accepts a well defined set of input parameters similarly web service 2 also exposes a single operation and accepts a set of input parameters.
These are deployed and running in our environment.
Now we have a requirement to stitch together these two web services and expose them as one single composite web service on the Oracle Service Bus 11g.
I want to create a proxy service on the OSB as unified web service (having its own WSDL) by composing the operations and input plus output parameters of the aforementioned two web services.
This way we can publish the WSDL to the front-end apps and they will trigger it with the required parameters and the proxy service will orchestrate the call to WS1 and WS2 and send the final output back to the calling client.
I was able to create an outbound call from the Proxy service to the underlying business services but I am not able to expose the Proxy service as web service with a WSDL i.e. create the proxy service by choosing operations of Web service 1 and web service 2
Please let me know your thoughts on this.

Thanks Atheek
The proxy service I tried to create orchestrate 2 web services.
But where we are struggling is How can i make this proxy service (composite) as a web service along with the WSDL.
The proxy service should be able to accept calls from the client with set of inputs representing both the underlying web services and coordinate calls b/w these two services and return consolidated output back to the calling client.
I am not finding a way to create a proxy service (web service along with the wsdl) which is representative of the underlying web services in a consolidated manner that can accepts inputs on behalf of both the underlying web services, orchestrate calls b/w the 2 web services and return the final output back to the calling client.
example modified to keep it brief
web service1
operation name: Verify Eligibility
Input: Complex type (String name, int Id, String address)
Output: Complex type(String approval status, int Id, String reason)
web service2
operation name: Approve Proposal
input: Complex type(String approval status, int Id, String reason, int Amount, int EmployeeCount)
Output: Complex type (String final status, String recommendation)
Composite Proxy Web Service
name: Composite Eligibility and Approval
Input: Complex type ( String name, int Id, String address, int Amount, int EmployeeCount)
Output: Complex type(String approval status, int Id, String reason,String final status, String recommendation)
The composite proxy should be created in a manner to jam the inputs of both the underlying web services and expose a representative interface on behalf of both the web services. This composite web service interface creation (WSDL) is where we are struggling a bit.
Because the calling clients need a unified WSDL to able to communicate with the composite web service.
Do post your thoughts.
Thanks Again,
Sushant

Handling Sequence of Services in Oracle Service Bus 11g

Hi there,
I am very new to Oracle Service Bus, I want to achieve the following sequence of operations in OSB, please help me or guide me how to achieve it in sequence manner.
1) Transfer .txt file from STFP server to local shared folder.
2) Calling EJB service to process (Read the file) and insert/update in DB.
3) Once the EJB service operation is over, transfer the file from local folder "Inbox" to local folder "archive" folder.
4) Sent the success or failure batch job email message to administrator.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Raj

Hi,
I've created the 2 Proxy services and related business services, one service is used to move the file from one location to another and another service is used to call the EJB (using JEJB transport). I am using the sequential service call to call one after another (1st Move file then Call JEJB). The following error I am getting, pls help me to resolve this issue.

[OSB] Oracle Service Bus: select database DBadapter runtime

Suppose you have 2 databases DB1 and DB2 and both have the SCOTT scheme with the EMP table. The default way to gain access to the databases in the Oracle Service Bus (OSB) is by defining 2 database adapters and defining a business service on each adapter:
- BS1 DBadapter1 DB1.SCOTT.EMP
- BS2 DBadapter2 DB2.SCOTT.EMP
With this setup you can define a proxy service and let the message flow decide which adapter to call.
Now change this configuration a little and suppose you have 25 databases, you can define 25 database adapters and 25 business services, but that involves a lot of repeating work of defining adapters and business services. A more elegant configuration is one business service with one database adapter, and the database connection is set runtime in stead of design time.
PS BS DBadapter DB1.SCOTT.EMP ... DB25.SCOTT.EMP
The challenge is: how do you configure the database adapter runtime (called by an OSB business service).
With kind regards,
Jornica

Oracle Service Bus 10gR3 contains the JCA framework which will eventually allow us to exploit the whole set of JCA adapters currently in use in BPEL Process Manager. Over the next few months several JCA adapters will be certified to be used with Oracle Service Bus - the Database adapter is one of the first of these.
As for SOA Suite and WebLogic bundling, let me explain. SOA Suite contains the following products:
BPEL Process Manager
Business Activity Monitoring
Business Rules
Web Services Manager
Complex Event Processing
B2B
ESB (the old Oracle ESB product)
Service Bus (formerly AquaLogic Service Bus from BEA)
This does not come with an application server as the suite is hot-pluggable (i.e. can be used with a number of application servers). However, the preferred (and cheaper) approach is to purchase SOA Suite and WebLogic Suite (which contains iAS, WebLogic Enterprise Edition, Coherence, JRockit with 100ms deterministic garbage collection and WebLogic Operations Control). This is because some of the elements of the SOA Suite only currently run on iAS (B2B) and some only run on WebLogic Server (Oracle Service Bus) although in the future these will also become hot pluggable.
To find out more, check out the SOA Suite and WebLogic Suite pages below:
[SOA Suite|http://www.oracle.com/technologies/soa/soa-suite.html]
[WebLogic Suite|http://www.oracle.com/appserver/weblogic/weblogic-suite.html]
You will find the DataSheets are particularly useful for giving you an overview of the suite.
Hope that helps.

Hi
I have wls 10.3.1 installed on my local machine. I installed it as part of configuring FMW 11g. I am trying to add
OSB component to it by running : osb1031_wls103_win32.exe.
But I am receiving the following error message:
The product maintenance level of the current installer ( wls 10.3.0.0) is not compatible with the maintenace
level of the product installed on your system (wls 10.3.1.0). Please obtain a compatibile installer or perform
maintenance on your current system to achieve the desired level.
So my guess from the above message is that "osb1031_wls103_win32.exe" is for wls 10.3 and not for wls 10.3.1.
Where can I get the OSB installer for wls 10.3.1? or how can I fix the above error?

Oracle OSB 11G. Unable to find Oracle Service Bus Configuration Page.

Hi All,
Sorry for the apparent silly question but I am studying and learning the product.
I have the OSB 11G installed and running with a proxy service working and routing requests. The Oracle ESB documentation http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e15866/ui_ref.htm#i1327746 at chapter 4.4.2 New Oracle Service Bus Configuration Project Wizard
Use this wizard to create an Oracle Service Bus configuration project. For configuration options, see Section 4.4.3, "Oracle Service Bus Configuration Page."
4.4.3 Oracle Service Bus Configuration Page.
I don't see the configuration page in anywhere in the left pane of the console. Am I missing something? The project creation works fine but I just don't see the configuration Wizard.
Thanks.
Regards
Salvatore Ilardo

The link which you are referring is for user interface objects in the Oracle Service Bus plug-ins and OSB plug-ins are used with OEPE (Oracle Enterprise Pack for Ecplise) for OSB development. OEPE is the only supported IDE for OSB development as of now.
Remember, at a time, one and only one Oracle Service Bus Configuration project can be deployed in a OSB domain which may contain desired number of Oracle Service Bus Projects and that's why there is no provision of creating Oracle Service Bus Configuration Project in sbconsole GUI. In IDE, you may create many Oracle Service Bus Configuration Project and that's why it has a Oracle Service Bus Configuration Project Wizard.

Installation of Oracle Service Bus 11g

Hi guys,
I have installed weblogic 11g (10.3.6) and Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse 11.1.1.8 using the file oepe-wls-indigo-installer-11.1.1.8.0.201110211138-10.3.6-win32.
Now I was trying to install the Oracle Service Bus 11g 11.1.1.7 and it says:
INST-11502: OEPE version isn't the correct OEPE for this version of OSB. Expected 1.8, found 2.1.1
Enter a valid OEPE home location
I wasn't expecting this compatibility error. I search My Support on I I Doc ID 1944102.1 and it points to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/eclipse/downloads/oepe-11118-521475.html which seems to be the oepe 11.1.1.8 (the one I have).
Can you help on this compatibility issue please?
thanks in advance.

Now I cannot run eclipse...
My suggest is because the JVM is 32-bit and this eclipse is for 64bit. If I try to run the other eclipse (the one that came with the 32bit installation), I can open it, but cannot create any osb configuration project.
Error opening eclipse:
Error creating an osb configuration project:
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Enterprise Business Services and Oracle Service Bus

Hi,
We are using AIA and we have developed a number of EBS’. These are composite applications containing a mediator and are deployed to the SOA Server.
Am I right in saying that another option is to use the Oracle Service Bus and replace the composite application ESB’s with ESB’s in the Oracle Service Bus?
Robert

Gerhard,
I was thinking the benefits would be:
-     End point Virtualisation – Single end point for services we can configure.
-     Move the job of wiring the integrations from Development to Admin
-     Single point of monitoring for SLA’s and QOS
-     Improve visibility of ESB’s by providing a single list. (At the moment they are amongst many services in enterprise manager.)
At the moment we have 3 SOA servers connected to 6 systems. (Dev, Test and Prod) I was imagining it might be possible to have a single OSB with Service routing controlled by policies. This way we would not need three OSB setup’s.
I am also charged with planning for the development of further services and we already have a long list of composites in enterprise manager. I am imagining that this will quickly become unmanageable. With OSB we could hide the downstream services and only show the EBS’.
I also imagined that when we introduced a 11.1.1.6 SOA server we could simply adjust the routing rules at the OSB to set up a dev environment. Test out the new services work, then make similar adjustments on a per EBS basis until we have migrated completely to 11.1.1.6.
I agree that there are a lot of trade off’s and I do not really have the experience to weigh up the balance between the two. Yesterday I was asked to come up with methods of monitoring performance of the current integration as well as future integrations and the OSB data sheet talks a little bit about this which is why I am thinking more about it; Although have only got as far as looking at the OSB data sheet and some manuals.
I guess another option would be to go with some EBS’s as mediators and others on OSB but I think using a consistent method for EBS’s would be preferable.
Also there is the question do we have one OSB for all systems or separate OSB’s for Dev, Test and Prod.

What are all difference between 11g Mediator and 10g Oracle service bus.

hi all ,
Apart from SCA concept , storing location
is thr any other difference between 11g Mediator and 10g Oracle service bus ?
thx in advance..

11g introduces the SCA architecture for building the service infrastructure.
SOA 11g uses:-
1. Uses the weblogic Server and BEA Aqualogic Service Bus (ALSB) for the Oracle Service Bus.
2. BPEL uses scalable DOM with reduced memory usage.
3. New adapters and leverage for Java 2 Connector Architecture (J2CA)
4. BAM finally ported from .Net to J2EE and is part of the service infrastructure
5. Oracle Web Services Management built into SOA 11g service infrastructure
6. New adapters and leverage for Java 2 Connector Architecture (J2CA). Tighter integration with E-Business Suite & large payload support.
7. Business Rules in SOA 10g business rules are managed using the Rules Author & in SOA 11g business rules are managed using JDeveloper and SOA composer

Oracle Service Bus Proxy Testing with Attached Policy

Hello,
When I'm testing a Proxy through the test console (lauch by clicking the bug) I'm seeing Override Values in the Security section. I've created four custom policies and attached two of them to the proxy. One that processes the request and the other the processes the response. The other two policies are attached to a composite on an interface to an external service. Those policies process the request/response respectively. When I bring up the test console for the OSB Proxy, I'm seeing the two policies that are attached to the composite in the "Security" section as "Override Values". If I don't delete the policies, they are executed. Which causes an error. So I have to delete them to get a clean run. I'm not sure why they are showing up in the "Override Values". It's definitely annoying that I have to delete them each time before executing the test. Any ideas on what's going on?
Thanks!
Steve

Hi Wai,
I think it is not supported with OSB. The doc says -
46.15 Is single sign-on supported in Oracle Service Bus?
Strictly speaking single sign-on (SSO) is not applicable to Oracle Service Bus messaging scenarios for several reasons. First, Oracle Service Bus is stateless; there is no notion of a session or conversation among multiple parties. Second, Oracle Service Bus clients are typically other enterprise software applications, not users behind a Web browser. Therefore, it is acceptable to require that these clients send credentials such as username and password on every request, provided that the communication is secured by means such as SSL or WS-Security. However, SSO between the Oracle Service Bus Console and the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console is supported. For more information, see "Single Sign-On" in "Security Fundamentals" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Understanding Security for Oracle WebLogic Server.http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/E15866_01/security_faq.htm#i1058723

How is licensed the Oracle Service Bus? wasnt it part of the SOA Suite?
