Implementing Oracle Service Bus - Architectural Question

Hi Experts,
If you were implementing Oracle SOA Suite and were intending on using it to support your legacy file based peer to peer integration solution (Enterprise scale) by utilising file adapters to extract, mediators to transform/route and custom built services to push that data into a transactional system would you look at using an Enterprise Service Bus to implement any of this functionality.
The principle here is to move away from peer to peer into a pseudo SOA solution where semi generic services are developed to accept the data currently sent in the files and sending that into an open interface table in the target system. The seperation of the file handling from the interface service is key to moving towards a service orientated solution.
It has been suggested to me that you could use the ESB to collect the files, extract the data and push it into the services in the SOA middleware. This is as opposed to building the file polling applications as composite applications in Oracle SOA suite.
Any thoughts would be appreciated on either of these approaches.
Thanks

there is no "one size fits all" SOA, you must evaluate the complexity of your interfaces and see whether it's worth having a 2 layers approach (OSB + SOA Suite) or condensating all in SOA Suite (or, why not, ditching the heaviness of SOA Suite and use only OSB)
Anyway on the "OSB vs SOA Suite" topic people have already written caterpillions of posts

Implementation Of AIA on Oracle Service Bus

Hi all,
Anybody implemented AIA on Oracle Service Bus ?
How much time will it take to implement this compare to AIA on SOA ??
Can we refer this to client ??
How was the performance ??
Please refer to the URL below

Anybody implemented AIA on Oracle Service Bus ?
We implemented AIA2.3 on OSB 10gR3 for one of the top 3 PC makers.
How much time will it take to implement this compare to AIA on SOA ??
Initial setup (customizing EOL and removing conflicts etc) will take some time and effort. Once that is done building new flows is comparatively faster than to do so on SOA Suite. Though it will also depend on the complexity of the flows, more complex flows will be easier to develop on SOA suite.
Can we refer this to client ??
It completely depends on the requirements of the client. If they have a lot of stateless and simple/medium complex services to be built, its a good idea to use OSB. If a lot of stateful and complex flows need to built it would be better to use SOA suite. Also, the features and use cases of SOA Suite and OSB are different, so you would need to do a comparative analysis and see which products features suit your needs better.
How was the performance ??
Unfortunately because of some bad decisions during design there were certain problems faced during performance testing. Since AIA schema definitions are capable of carrying a lot of business data of an entity (a product or customer or asset for e.g.) the message sizes may become huge which causes a lot of problems. If you keep message sizes in control and any XQuery or XSLT transformations to be simple and properly tuned you should not face much problems. If you have a lot of transformations it would make sense to spend on an XML appliance as well. The same would be true for SOA suite as well, even SOA suite wont perform well if there are complex transformations on huge messages.

Application Integration Architecture Foundation Pack on Oracle Service Bus

The paper on the Oracle web site from December 2008 titled "Application Integration Architecture Foundation Pack on Oracle Service Bus" is an interesting read. The technology roadmap makes it clear the OSB is the future and current "old" ESB supported by AIA is going on the scrap heap. Now I know the OSB is not a supported platform for even the latest foundation pack so I wonder about why this paper was published. Is Oracle indicating foundation pack v 2.2.x support on OSB? Is it published as a "this is something to look forward to" type document? I honestly wonder since there are some pretty specific instructions on how to get it working and the authors are senior thought leaders for the AIA product.
RICH
2/04/08 Update - I see that with the AIA 2.3 release that Oracle Service Bus did not make the list of supported technology.

Question on installing Oracle Service Bus

Hello
I am new to this so if there is another forum I should write to please let me know.
I am doing a simple development install on my lap top running windows 7 of the last version of OSB but at the end the server does not start. I am using the default derby DB, I do not know its user name or password. I did not install the RCU but some are suggesting that I should. At the end the server does not start and as you can see the error is pointing to an SQL database related problem.
1) Should I install the RCU so it will install the schema that I need ?
2) I dowloaded the RCU but it is 580M !! ? is this correct ? why do I need 580M to isntall a schema ? or am I in the wrong place and I dowloaded the wrong file ?
3) what is the derby user name and password ? how can I access this DB ?
web logic Admin console is running fine
I start the OSB configuration window and I am creating a new domain
I check the following
Oracle Service Bus Extension - Single Server Domain Topology - 11.1.1.3
the following options are also selected, by default:
■ Oracle JRF - 11.1.1.0 [oracle_common]
■ WebLogic Advanced Web Services for JAX-RPC Extension - 10.3.3.0 [wlserver_10.3]
I am continuing the configuration accepting all the default values.
The Database connection testing fails but according to the manual it should fail
at the end I check the start the admin server but there is a problem and the server does not start
Any idea ?
Thank you
Eyal

Hi,
Did you create the multiple domains.i observed this when we create multiple domains. Typically seems to be we have to create single MDS schema using RCU for each domain. I have seen this in one of the Manoj posts in this forum thought did not get the link.
you can modify the doamin name in the table WL_LLR_ADMINSERVER by logging into db using mds user. update with expected value as shown in the error.

What are the differences between Oracle Service Bus 10g and WLI 10g?

Hi,
To me both Oracle Service Bus 10g R3 and Weblogic Integration 10g seem to offer the same functionalities for implementing an enterprise middleware.
I would be grateful if someone could:
1. provide me with the two products' differences.
2. describe what their roadmap is?
3. what are their positioning in the Oracle product catalog? Are they both members of Oracle SOA Suite? Fussion Middleware?
Thanks a lot,
Best regards,
Babis.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply,
Eduardo: the answer to your questions are that all the flows will be short-lived but if we can make long-lived flows then we might consider developing them. We would need to persist the state of the flow somehow.
I understand that some of our requirements would be better accomodated by WLI or bpel but we don't have an option but only to use OSB.
So, do you think we could overcome the stateless nature of OSB by:
1. writing to appropriate tables and reading from there and calling plsql procedures from the flows
2. using JMS queues.
In detalis:
1. Regarding the writing/reading from Databases (in our case it would be oracle 10g R2 - probably RAC), is there something like a Database control in WLI, which we could use in OSB? What i have seen are using xquery execute-sql function or a JCA DB adapter but both of them seem to me not very easy to use. Is there another option?
2. Regarding the JMS, in case that i want:
a service that writes to a JMS queue what are the servicetype and transport that i should use?
a service that reads from a JMS queues what are the service type and transport that we should used?
Any information that you may share with me in the design and implementation of the above would be great.
Thanks a lot.

Oracle Service Bus

Hi
We are trying to use Oracle Service Bus for a large-volume (> 1GB) file-based interfaces with external partners. Have anyone implemented such integration scenario? Any constraints / limitations of OSB/ Weblogic / File Adapters? What sort of FTP mechanism can we use with it?
regards,
sdas

Hi,
Here are some pointer for you...
SFTP transport supports processing of large messages. When you configure a proxy service, you can enable content streaming and specify whether large messages must be buffered in memory or in a disk file.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/dev.1111/e15866/http_poller.htm#i1085854
Attachment option allow the proxy service store MIME attachment content to a disk file and then process the data in a streaming fashion without buffering the attachment contents in memory. This enables the proxy service to process large attachments robustly and efficiently.

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.

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.

How can oracle let a release slip in with such a Major Issue.
Please can any one help or provide a work around atleast.

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.

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.

Domain Value Mapping in Oracle Service Bus

Hi all,
I am looking for a similar functionality with Oracle Service Bus that exist in the Enterprise Service Bus.
The XPath function is lookup-dvm() that looks up the value based on a domain value mapping.
The case is to use this in a XQuery mapping.
Any input or experience on this?
Thanks,
Knut

Currently out-of-box implement of similar functionality in OSB is not possible. This DVM feature will supplied out of box in future releases of OSB. Talk to your sales representative to get exact date lines for this feature.
Thanks

SOAP Header Security in Oracle Service Bus

Currently we are in the process of implementing the SOAP Header Security through Oracle Service Bus. We have a requirement that BPEL need to call a external web service. That web service will be registered in OSB. While making the call, the OSB need to add the SOAP security header(user name & Pwd) in proxy service before forwarding the request to business service. Can you please help me find some information about that.

Hi Manoj,
The request payload which is going to the target is
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Header xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
</soap:Header>
<soapenv:Body>
<man:GetDefaultRechargeValuesRequest xmlns:man="http://www.NII.com/ManagePrepaidRecharge/workflow/ManagePrepaidRecharge">string</man:GetDefaultRechargeValuesRequest>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
whereas the target expects the soap header populated. the payload expected by the target is
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Header xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<gsa:Authentication xmlns:gsa="http://www.nextel.com.br/Wbs/Gsa">
<gsa:Account>test</gsa:Account>
<gsa:Password>test</gsa:Password>
<gsa:Guid>f65748e63b01</gsa:Guid>
</gsa:Authentication>
</soap:Header>
<soapenv:Body>
<man:GetDefaultRechargeValuesRequest xmlns:man="http://www.NII.com/ManagePrepaidRecharge/workflow/ManagePrepaidRecharge">string</man:GetDefaultRechargeValuesRequest>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
The Problem now is, when i call a business service(WSDL of the target) from a proxy service and when i set the above expression to the $header using replace action in the proxy service itself, the above expression,instead of going as a request to the business service, it is populated in the response.
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Header xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<gsa:Authentication xmlns:gsa="http://www.nextel.com.br/Wbs/Gsa">
<gsa:Account>test</gsa:Account>
<gsa:Password>test</gsa:Password>
<gsa:Guid>f65748e63b01</gsa:Guid>
</gsa:Authentication>
</soap:Header>
<soapenv:Body>
<ns0:GetDefaultRechargeValuesResponse xmlns:ns0="http://www.NII.com/ManagePrepaidRecharge/workflow/ManagePrepaidRecharge">
<ns0:StandardHeaderBlock>
<ns2:ServiceState xmlns:ns2="http://xmlns.oracle.com/apps/StandardHeaderBlock">
<ns2:errorCode>SOA_ERR_TARGET_SYSTEM_FAILURE</ns2:errorCode>
<ns2:errorDesc>
OSB Service Callout action received an error response
</ns2:errorDesc>
</ns2:ServiceState>
</ns0:StandardHeaderBlock>
</ns0:GetDefaultRechargeValuesResponse>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
Since the authentication details are not reaching the target, it is giving a target system failure. Can you suggest a remedy to this please.

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

Need a help on implemening SAML with Oracle Service Bus

We are implementing Webservice security using SAML with Oracle Service Bus for our project. We are in dire need of help in implementing the same. We have found some documents (osb console help, osb security) from the oracle web site but those documents have high-level details only. If we get the step-by-step flow and examples of implementing the Webservices security using SAML with Oracle Service Bus, it would be appreciated.
Requirement details:
1. Client application has to generate the SAML assertion (token) and pass that token to the OSB proxy service in a SOAP header along with the request.
2. OSB proxy service gets the authentication token from the inbound request
3. The token is passed to an SAML Identity Assertion provider and validate the token
4. If the token is validated successfully then pass the valid token to appropriate business services.
5. Business services communicates the appropriate external web services after validating the token and gets the response.
Environment details:
1. Oracle Weblogic Application Server 10g3
2. Oracle Service Bus 10g3
Thanks,
Suresh Mani

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 !!
Sachin

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