How to rollback AQ dequeue operations in BPEL

Hi,
For a service i initially started using an Oracle AQ Adapter for dequeueing messages from an Oracle AQ. This works fine, only when processing of the message fails, i have to rollback the dequeue operation. Although that Oracle AQ Adapters do support XA, it do not see a way (documented in oracle docs, google etc) to force the rollback of that dequeue operation. Is it possible to rollback a dequeue operation using the oracle AQ Adapter?
Secondly i tried it using an JMS Adapter. Herefore i created within a existing JMS Module a foreign server (WNSForeignServer) with
- JNDI Initial Context Factor; oracle.jms.AQjmsInitialContextFactory
- JNDI Properties: datasource=jdbc/CDB
I created a new connection factory in WNSForeignServer: WNS_BERICHT_CF with
- Local JNDI Name: aqjms/XAQueueConnectionFactory
- Remote JNDI Name: XAQueueConnectionFactory
I created a new destination in WNSForeignServer: wns_bericht_q with
- Local JNDI Name: jms/aq/wns_bericht_q
- Remote JNDI Name: Queues/WNS_BERICHT_Q
Restarted the managed server
WNS_BERICHT_Q is an existing queue which is also used by the configured (and working) AQ Adapter.
In my composite i added a JMS Adapter using Oracle Advanced Queueing as JMS Provider and Consume Message as operation Type.
The Destination Name is jms/aq/wns_bericht_q (visible when using the browse option)
When putting messages on the queue the message is retrieved when using the Oracle AQ Adapter, but ik keep failing retrieving the messages using th JMS adapter.
Any help/ideas is appreciated ! (in other words; HELP! ;-) )
Cheers,
Peter

Hi Peter,
There are long discussions on this topic on the following threads...
Re: Message not deleting from Topic after successfully dequeue
Re: SOA Composite dequeue not removing message from the queue.
Hope this helps...

  • How to use multiple WSDL operations in One BPEL process Recieve Activity ?

    Is there anyway to attach multiple WSDL operations with a Single BPEL process ? How ?

    Thanks Melvin for your quick respond.
    When I create a BPEL process, It asks me to give the XSD as an Input. When I import the XSD it asks me to select an operation not more than one. Let suppose I select addRequest and finish the wizard.
    Now what I can see, It create Recieve activity with an Input msg of Add operation. Well what I understand from your statement is that, I remove the recieve activity and put the Pick activity.
    Now my question is How to mention the other operations like update and delete ? And how to test them ?? The link provided by you is just tell me what Pick activity can do for me, But its not telling me how to use it ?? and how the give the operation to it. Where should I need to change in the BPEL ???

  • How to "Rollback" to a previous OS

    My core audio does not support OS 10.3.9, it will only support up to 10.3.5 . I need to know how to rollback to this previous version of OSX. Also, if I do roll it back, will this cause any problems for me?
    PowerMac G5   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Hello Again! No, it's not fun. I keep 2 bootable clone backups at all times so if I do any software upgrade or install anything new I can go back to what I know was a good system. One thing I NEVER do is let software update run automatically. I've read too many horror stories from problems associated with updates. I'm also not a fan of going from 10.3.6 to 10.3.9 for instance if 10.3.6 is working fine. If I'm not having a problem that the update is supposed to address I stay put. I've got 10.3.9 as a fresh install on one drive with nothing else but I use 10.3.6 as it's been operating flawlessly for about 2 years. I've added to many hacks and add on programs to risk an update. My system is tweaked just the way I like it. I use CarbonCopyCloner (CCC) to clone with and always boot from the clone to make sure it's ok.I back up any important documents daily to cd/dvd or another HD and I clone about once a month alternating between drives.I also repair permissions at least every week or so and run DiskWarrior about once a month. I also run 24/7/365.Tom

    Purchased a used macbook pro with Mountain Lion. My old Mac runs Snow Leopard is backed up to Time machine. How do I register the operating system to me and how do I use Time Machine to move my files to the new used computer?

    If you look at the User Tips tab, you will find a write up on just this subject:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4053
    The subject of buying/selling a Mac is quite complicated.  Here is a guide to the steps involved. It is from the Seller's point of view, but easily read the other way too:
    SELLING A MAC A
    Internet Recovery, and Transferability of OS & iLife Apps
    Selling an Old Mac:
    • When selling an old Mac, the only OS that is legally transferable is the one that came preinstalled when the Mac was new. Selling a Mac with an upgraded OS isn't doing the new owner any favors. Attempting to do so will only result in headaches since the upgraded OS can't be registered by the new owner. If a clean install becomes necessary, they won't be able to do so and will be forced to install the original OS via Internet Recovery. Best to simply erase the drive and revert back to the original OS prior to selling any Mac.
    • Additionally, upgrading the OS on a Mac you intend to sell means that you are leaving personally identifiable information on the Mac since the only way to upgrade the OS involves using your own AppleID to download the upgrade from the App Store. So there will be traces of your info and user account left behind. Again, best to erase the drive and revert to the original OS via Internet Recovery.
    Internet Recovery:
    • In the event that the OS has been upgraded to a newer version (i.e. Lion to Mountain Lion), Internet Recovery will offer the version of the OS that originally came with the Mac. So while booting to the Recovery Disk will show Mountain Lion as available for reinstall since that is the current version running, Internet Recovery, on the other hand, will only show Lion available since that was the OS shipped with that particular Mac.
    • Though the Mac came with a particular version of Mac OS X, it appears that, when Internet Recovery is invoked, the most recent update of that version may be applied. (i.e. if the Mac originally came with 10.7.3, Internet Recovery may install a more recent update like 10.7.5)
    iLife Apps:
    • When the App Store is launched for the first time it will report that the iLife apps are available for the user to Accept under the Purchases section. The user will be required to enter their AppleID during the Acceptance process. From that point on the iLife apps will be tied to the AppleID used to Accept them. The user will be allowed to download the apps to other Macs they own if they wish using the same AppleID used to Accept them.
    • Once Accepted on the new Mac, the iLife apps can not be transferred to any future owner when the Mac is sold. Attempting to use an AppleID after the apps have already been accepted using a different AppleID will result in the App Store reporting "These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID".
    • It appears, however, that the iLife Apps do not automatically go to the first owner of the Mac. It's quite possible that the original owner, either by choice or neglect, never Accepted the iLife apps in the App Store. As a result, a future owner of the Mac may be able to successfully Accept the apps and retain them for themselves using their own AppleID. Bottom Line: Whoever Accepts the iLife apps first gets to keep them.
    SELLING A MAC B
    Follow these instructions step by step to prepare a Mac for sale:
    Step One - Back up your data:
    A. If you have any Virtual PCs shut them down. They cannot be in their "fast saved" state. They must be shut down from inside Windows.
    B. Clone to an external drive using using Carbon Copy Cloner.
    1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
    2. Select the Source volume from the Select a source drop down menu on the left side.
    3. Select the Destination volume from the Select a destination drop down menu on the right
    side.
    4. Click on the Clone button. If you are prompted about creating a clone of the Recovery HD be
    sure to opt for that.
    Destination means a freshly erased external backup drive. Source means the internal
    startup drive. 
    Step Two - Prepare the machine for the new buyer:
    1. De-authorize the computer in iTunes! De-authorize both iTunes and Audible accounts.
    2, Remove any Open Firmware passwords or Firmware passwords.
    3. Turn the brightness full up and volume nearly so.
    4. Turn off File Vault, if enabled.
    5. Disable iCloud, if enabled: See.What to do with iCloud before selling your computer
    Step Three - Install a fresh OS:
    A. Snow Leopard and earlier versions of OS X
    1. Insert the original OS X install CD/DVD that came with your computer.
    2. Restart the computer while holding down the C key to boot from the CD/DVD.
    3. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu; repartition and reformat the internal hard drive.
    Optionally, click on the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
    4. Install OS X.
    5. Upon completion DO NOT restart the computer.
    6. Shutdown the computer.
    B. Lion and Mountain Lion (if pre-installed on the computer at purchase*)
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because
    it is three times faster than wireless.
    1. Restart the computer while holding down the COMMAND and R keys until the Mac OS X
    Utilities window appears.
    2. Select Disk Utility from the Mac OS X Utilities window and click on the Continue button. 
    3. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click
    on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    4. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button
    and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
    5. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    6. Quit DU and return to the Mac OS X Utilities window.
    7. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
    8. Upon completion shutdown the computer.
    *If your computer came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed then you are entitled to transfer your license once. If you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store then you cannot transfer your license to another party. In the case of the latter you should install the original version of OS X that came with your computer. You need to repartition the hard drive as well as reformat it; this will assure that the Recovery HD partition is removed. See Step Three above. You may verify these requirements by reviewing your OS X Software License.

    How do I copy my operating system to a solid state drive and make it the disc I boot from?

    Where is your operating system now? Basically, you clone it from wherever it is now to the SSD:
    Clone Lion/Mountain Lion using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue button.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the SSD. Source means the drive now holding OS X.

    You can't. Nothing that runs under v10.1.1 can run 10.5.8.
    No MacBook Pro can run under v10.1.1.
    So something in your post is wrong.

  • How do I reinstall my operating system after hard drive upgrade on MacBook pro?  I have Snow Leopard install disc

    How do I reinstall my operating system (Snow Leopard) after a hard drive upgrade. I did a Time Machine backup before the new hard drive was installed. I put in the Snow Leopard install disc and don't get the icon I'm supposed to double click to install Snow Leopard and then the backup.
    HELP PLEASE!!

    Is the new HHD in the MBP?
    Is the new HDD formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)?
    Where is the old HDD? In an enclosure?  What is on the old HDD, your user data?  Is the Snow Leopard System on it?
    Do you have a separate Time Machine Disk with your user data?
    Answers to these questions should give an exact status of your situation so that one can proceed in the right direction.

  • How to define multiple jca operations in one db adapter wsdl

    When I create a partnerlink in the designer, click on the adapter service, choosing db adapter, it will automatically generate a wsdl with the specifying service name and operation name(query name).
    But the generated wsdl has only one operation(query). How do I add multiple operations(queries) to the wsdl using the designer? The mapping generated from the query is pretty complex, I don't think I can do it manually.
    Thanks, Jenny

    For an outbound operation, you can select multiple operations (insert or update, delete, select), but using the wizard you can only create one read query operation.
    (You will also get a 'queryByExample' operation in every outbound wsdl too).
    Using the command line WSDLGenerator, you can point it at a TopLink project and it will generate one operation for every named query in the project, plus a number of other operations.
    To access the command line tool, see orabpel/samples/tutorials/122.DBAdapter/misc/WSDLGenerator.
