Inbound security for BPEL processes

Hello,
I am trying to enable Inbound security for BPEL processes. i made changes to message-handlers.xml as specified in the document.
However when i sent a test message using AXIS API, i am getting the below error.
Error while invoking inbound message handler.
An error has occurred while attempting to invoke the inbound message handler class "class com.collaxa.cube.security.Authenticator" for the message "". The exception reported was: Could not apply security [No username provided, security expects user]
I am using one of User Ids specified in system-jazn-data.xml and I can see that input soap message has a usernametoken . Any Inputs please?
Thanks

If you want to use the BPEL tool you can simulate some load using the initiate option. There is a checkbox where you can specify the load you want to perform.
Otherwise you need to use products such as Mercury (now HP) Load Runner. This is an expensive option but gives you very good output. The other option is to develop your own scripts to test the performance.
cheers

Implementing Security for BPEL Process

Hi,
We have a requirement to add security layer to BPEL processes (BPEL 10.1.3.4) deployed on WL 9.2. Client has asked us to implement PKI for WL domain.
Please guide me regarding the same.
Regards,
Prabodh Mitra
P.S. we are not using OWSM due to some business reasons

Hi,
Can you please provide any docs related to implementing pki/ssl in a BPEL-WLS env ? I have tried, but in vain.
These are the questions I have,
1. BPEL is installed on a separate domain in WLS. How will we enable SSL here? Is it ok if we enable at admin server level ?
2. Do we need to do some configuration on BPEL side as we do in OAS setup?
Thanks in advance.

How to maintain List Of Values (LOV's) for BPEL Processes

We are integrating two systems.Source and destination systems store data in different formats. For example State is stored as a string in source and its stored as an number in destination system. In BPEL we are trying to transform this information and send it to destination system so that it understands the incoming data.
A sample of transformation we need to do is as shown below.
State in Source     Sate in Destination
Texas               1
Nebraska          2
But we have so many fields that we need to transform as we are doing for State.
What is the best way of handling these domain mappings in BPEL. I want to know is there any efficient way we can handle this in BPEL as we do in J2EE applications(Maintaining them in Domain tables and making them available for all functionalities).
We are looking to hold all these domain mappings at one place and use in all the processes we design.Can anyone suggest a better way to handle this for BPEL processes.

Hi,
I am using the lookup-xml for maintaining list of values.But dont know whats the problem unable to get the output.
Example: this is just a sample one which i am testing.
My xml file is placed in c folder with the name "StateList.xml" which contains the following info.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Countries>
<Country><Abbreviation>CO</Abbreviation><FullName>CO</FullName></Country>
<Country><Abbreviation>CT</Abbreviation><FullName>Connecticut</FullName></Country>
<Country><Abbreviation>ID</Abbreviation><FullName>Idaho</FullName></Country>
<Country><Abbreviation>NJ</Abbreviation><FullName>New Jersey</FullName></Country>
<Country><Abbreviation>AP</Abbreviation><FullName>Andhra Pradesh</FullName></Country>
</Countries>
And in BPEL, in the transformation i am taking the input and assigning this lookup value to the output variable as follows :
<ns1:result>
<xsl:value-of select="orcl:lookup-xml('file:/c:/StateList.xml','/Countries/Country','Abbreviation','FullName',/ns1:HelloWorldPavanaProcessRequest/ns1:input)"/>
</ns1:result>
But unable to get the result.Kindly help me out in this.

Securing a BPEL Process with username/password in 10g

Secure a BPEL process in 11g with username/pass

Hi All,
How to secure a BPEL process with username and password.

As mentioned in my previous post and link I provide this is done in the Enterprise Manager.
In 11g we have composites so more often than not you want the composite to be secure then you pass the credentials to the other components, e.g. BPEL.
1. Go to Enterprise Manager
2. Click on the composite that has the BPEL process
3. Click the policy Tab
4. Select the BPEL process in the Attach To/Detach From" drop down. If BPEL is not the component that invokes the composite then select that component.
5. Select wss_username_token_service_policy, click attach
6. If in step 4 you have a mediation step in front of your BPEL process then select your BPEL process in the drop down and attach the policy wss11_saml_token_with_message_protection_client_policy.
The user name password is taken from the WLS authentication, so this will be something like weblogic/welcome1
hope this helps.

OWSM server agent for BPEL process in Weblogic

Hello,
We are trying to protect a BPEL process (in Weblogic) with a OWSM server agent, but we couldn't find clear guidelines on that.
OWSM 10.1.3.x is in one machine, and Oracle BPEL 10.1.3.x is in another, with Weblogic 9.2.
Can anyone give us instructions or tips on how to do this, considering this scenario?
Thanks a lot.
Daniel Viero.

Dave, Andre,
It's unfortunate that you were given incorrect information.
Let's take this issue offline by contacting me directly.
OWSM agent support for .NET was taken out as .NET was going through multiple revisions while 10.1.3.1 was being developed, and the old agent wasn't compatible with the new .NET versions; and there were resource restrictions on our part to keep up with the new version support.
While on this topic, I would like to hear from you and others what their thoughts are around this kind of support in a future release.
1. We could add back .NET agent (similar to 4.0.3)
2. We could manage the policies for .NET through Oracle Enterprise Manager while letting the .NET framework enforce them. This will allow for centralized management of policies, while leveraging the security stack of .NET for enforcement.
Which approach would you prefer?
Thanks,
Vikas Jain

Business Activity Monitoring for BPEL Processes

Hello,
IEP is capable of monitoring real time events, Real time business event collection and processing.
In that case, can we use IEP to monitor BPEL process activities with activity data.
One very big part, the ability to provide functionality for third parties (clients like Me) to register some sort of observer to capture live BPEL process activity, is missing.
I'm trying to cover that big hole in my project. That's the reason I'm posting about BPEL process management capabilities and events.
But I got no concrete answers for that. Not every business use can be provided by any generic system.
I looked at CAM (which comes with Alaska build). But I couldn't get much info about entire picture.
Other BPEL engines, the one I have used, has the functionality to do activity monitoring and process management. (IBM Process server, Apache ODE)
Could any IEP, BPEL component developers answer any sort of solution to my use case?
Thank you
Raja

I agree that this would be very useful. If anyone can provide additional insight it would be much appreciated.

Oracle SFTP adapter Configuration for BPEL process (11.1.1.3 )

Hi All,
Can someone tell me how to configure the FTP adapter for window's server.
We already have a bpel process with FTP adapter but it is set up for unix server , we want to change the location to window's server.
Can any one provide me with what changes need to be made at the ftp adapter level in jdeveloper and also on the weblogic console for the existing bpel process .
Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot!
Will follow the steps as mentioned in the link: SOA / BPM on Oracle Fusion Middleware: SOA Suite 11g - FTP Adapter
I am confused about the path mentioned while configuring the adapter in jdev Physical path for windows should be the ftp server path provided by client and it should begin with \winserver\local and not like \\winserver\local ???
+
The configuration needs to be done on the weblogic console also as mentioned in the above link so for this FTP server - login details - host ,username /password , serverType is required.

Modifying Memory Optimization parameter for BPEL process in SOA 11g

Hello
I have turned on memory optimization parameter for my BPEL process in the composite.xml (11g)
this is what I have in composite.xml:
<property name="bpel.config.inMemoryOptimization">false</property>
How do we modify this parameter in the EM console at runtime? I changed this property to "true" using the System MBean browser, but it wasn't taking effect. I thought the SOA server must be restarted (similar to what we used to do in 10g). But when I restart the SOA server, the parameter goes back to whatever the value was in the composite.xml ignoring the change I made in the System MBean browser
Please share your thoughts.
Thanks in advance.
Raja

Deploying a newer version is not an option, as the endpoints could change (not sure if it would in 11g, but in 10g it does) and also, our service consumers will be pointing to the older version.As mentioned above, if clients are using URL without version then call will be forwarded to default version of composite internally. No manual tweaking required for this. Just make sure that while deploying the new version you are marking it as default.
Besides, we report on service metrics and having multiple versions just complicates things.Not at all. If you are not using versioning feature, you are really under utilizing the Oracle SOA 11g. Remember that metrics can be collected for a single composite with same effort, irrespective of the number of composite versions deployed. Only few product tables refer the version while storing composite name and rest all use only the composite name without version. I do not know how you are collecting service metrics but we use DB jobs for same it works perfectly with any number of composites having multiple versions deployed.
The idea is to do some debugging and collect audit trail in case there is a production issue by disabling inMemoryOptimization parameter. This is a live production environment and deploying whenever we want is not even an option for us, unfortunately. Why not debug by increasing log level. Diagnostic logs are the best option to debug an issue even in production. For getting audit trail you may re-produce the issue in lower environments. I think no organization will allow re-deployments just for debugging some issue in production until and unless it is too critical issue to handle.
Does this not supported in 11g? if it isn't, it does seem like a bug to me. You may always go ahead and raise a case with support.

Anuj

Invalid xml document for BPEL Process.

Hi everyone,
I am getting below error after i set validateXML=strict
Invalid xml document.
According to the xml schemas, the xml document is invalid. The reason is: Error::cvc-datatype-valid.1.2.1: '' is not a valid value for 'decimal'.
Error::cvc-type.3.1.3: The value '' of element 'ns1:p_person_id' is not valid.
Please make sure that the xml document is valid against your schemas.
Kindly help me with the steps. I am just a SOA admin, not developer.
Regards
Lammeki.

Ummmm Vikas,
Lemme bring out a better picture, so u get more clear on this one.
The developer has upgraded an already deployed BPEL process.
Since then, she has been facing problem. When she invoke those process they simply end up as faulted with a yellow color ! mark.
Now i as an admin, i tried everything to help her cos she escalated the issue to me, thinking maybe there is sumthing i could do to assists her.
Now i am not sure, how to help her, but yes i started with the logs. Both the oc4j container log for SOA and the domain log show the similar error.
But till then, i didn't know black and white of it. so i tried doing all testing possible from my end.
When i check on the faulted instances i see there is a Assign activity after Transform followed by Invoked being highlighted in red color. and when i clicked on it i get to see the error

The main problem was we were observing many SOA inactive threads in one particular database, and they keep building up minutes by minutes.
I suspect, that in the code connections were open but were not closed, there4 there were inactive threads in the database.
I had to stop the SOA application, to stop threads from building up. I guess they got build up when they were invoked. There is definitely some fault with the code. or tell me am wrong. tell me its sumthing else.
However other domains processes were working fine.
and oh, yes the developer also made changes in the database. when i asked her to revert back and see if it works, she say thats a huge amount of work.
Finally she end up saying that maybe it could be a problem with the new version.
Now as a learner, I want to know what is going on, and how do we go about solving it.
Am not much of a SOA techie. that u can make out. but yes ready to learn things. so there4 i beg you to explain to me like am a standard 3 or 4 kid. any more information needed plz feel free to write back.

Performance measure for BPEL process using Oracle BPEL Process Analytics

Hi All,
For measuring perfomance of a bpel process, can we use Process Analytics? Is this to be purchased separately? Is any other tool available which can be used measuring performance of a bpel process. & produces graphical reports etc? (product / open source)
Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards

yeah you are 100% correct ..
I have attached some stuff for CDH integration, where we used plsql to send out info on a created record to a queue.
CREATE OR REPLACE
TYPE XXBPEL_MESSAGE_TYPE AS OBJECT (
MSG_ID VARCHAR2(128),
INREPLYTO_MSG_ID VARCHAR2(128),
FROM_PARTY VARCHAR2(512),
TO_PARTY VARCHAR2(512),
ACTION_NAME VARCHAR2(512),
MSG_TYPE INT,
PAYLOAD CLOB,
ATTACHMENT BLOB
EXECUTE DBMS_AQADM.create_queue_table (queue_table => 'XXBPEL_QTAB',queue_payload_type => 'XXBPEL_MESSAGE_TYPE',multiple_consumers => TRUE);
EXECUTE DBMS_AQADM.create_queue (queue_name => 'XXBPEL_OUT_QUEUE',queue_table => 'XXBPEL_QTAB');
EXECUTE DBMS_AQADM.start_queue(queue_name => 'XXBPEL_OUT_QUEUE',dequeue => TRUE,enqueue => TRUE);
On BPEL side creata a process that listens to this queue (with and AQ partnerlink) as shown in $BPEL_HOME/integration\orabpel\samples\tutorials\124.AQAdapter\MulticonsumerInbound

Help in forming SOAP message for Bpel process

Hi,
I have a following schema file - UnpackMessage.xsd
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema/UnpackMessage"

<element name="activityName" type="string"/>
<element name="result" type="string"/>

</complexType>
<element name="PackHandlerProcessRequest" type="tns:PackHandlerProcessRequestType"/>
</schema>
and the following wsdl file for a bpel process
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
<definitions name="PackManagerWSDL"
targetNamespace="http://xmlns.oracle.com/PackManager"

The receive activity in bpel process expects input message "PackManagerRequestMessage" of type "PackHandlerProcessRequestType"
Now on invoking the Bpel process directly by using the console ... the default input to the process looks like this -
<payload xmlns="" xmlns:def="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema/UnpackMessage"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:type="def:PackHandlerProcessRequestType">
<instanceId xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema/UnpackMessage">600</instanceId>
<activityName xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema/UnpackMessage">receive</activityName>
<result xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema/UnpackMessage">ok</result>
</payload>
and the receive activity gets the following as input (as taken from Flow in bpel console)
<ReceiveInput_initiate_InputVariable>
     <part name="payload" >
          <payload xsi:type="def:PackHandlerProcessRequestType" >
               <instanceId>800</instanceId>
               <activityName>receive</activityName>
               <result/>
          </payload>
     </part>
</ReceiveInput_initiate_InputVariable>
But when i invoke the same process using a SOAP message which looks like
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>
<SOAP:Envelope xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:ns2="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema/UnpackMessage" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema">
<SOAP:Body>
<payload xmlns="" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="def:PackHandlerProcessRequestType">
<ns2:instanceId>600</ns2:instanceId>
<ns2:activityName>receive</ns2:activityName>
<ns2:result>OK</ns2:result>
</payload>
</SOAP:Body>
</SOAP:Envelope>
the receive activity now gets the following as input (taken from Flow in bpel console)
<ReceiveInput_initiate_InputVariable>
<part name="payload">
<ns1:instanceId>600</ns1:instanceId>
</part>
</ReceiveInput_initiate_InputVariable>
So i am losing input data. Can someone help me form appropriate SOAP message for this ?
Thanks,
Srini

Thanks Marc,
The SoapUI is really useful. The SOAP request as generated by the SoapUI for above case is
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:add="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/addressing" xmlns:pack="http://xmlns.oracle.com/PackManager" xmlns:unp="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema/UnpackMessage">
<soapenv:Body>
<pack:initiate>
<payload>
<unp:instanceId>800</unp:instanceId>
<unp:activityName>receive</unp:activityName>
<unp:result/>
</payload>
</pack:initiate>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
and the input received at BPEL was as expected.
Thanks a lot.
Srini.
