JBI and Local Service Bus

Can anyone share some thoughts on how IBM's use of Local Service Bus compare with what JBI is providing..

The concept of Local Service Bus from IBM, at first glance, appears to be somewhat similar to
JBI. However, the lack of details on Local Service Bus and the proprietary nature of its architecture
makes it hard to do a comparison.
Java Business Integration 1.0 is close to finalization and has been a community effort with the likes
of Apache, Iona, Jboss, Oracle, SAP, SeeBeyond, Sonic, Sun, Tibco and others (http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=208). It would be good to have IBM participate in the standardization effort too.
To see how JBI works, go to http://java.sun.com/integration and download the early access version.
There is a technical article at
http://java.sun.com/integration/reference/techart/jbi/ that describes how to develop a service engine component for JBI. More to follow.

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.

Tuxedo 11gR2 and Oracle Service Bus

Windows platform (2008 r2)
Hi
I am looking to call a number of web services on an Oracle Service Bus.
Do I need to use SALT? If so, is there a license cost associated wth this?
What other options do I have?
Thanks in advance.
M

Hi MI,
Well the general usage of OSB involves creating service definitions as the services themselves (business services as they are called in OSB) are actually someplace else. OSB acts as an intelligent proxy for those services. So for the client side, i.e., the caller of the service, you define a proxy service that the client can then call using whatever transport was chosen. So if you need to have a web services (SOAP/HTTP) client call a service, you define a web services proxy. Likewise if you need a JMS client to call the service, you create a JMS based proxy service. On the server side, you then create a business service which tells OSB how to call the actual service. A pipeline is then defined that describes how the proxy service is connected to the business service. This "connection" may define payload transformations, synch to asynch mediation, routing, failover, etc. that need to occur. The pipeline also describes the reply path as well, so transformation, message enhancement, etc., can all occur on the service reply message.
There used to be examples that shipped with OSB, and I assume there are still some. The Tuxedo Transport ones may have been moved to OTN. Try searching this forum or the web for OSB Tuxedo Transport samples if you need them.

Comparison between ODI and Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)

Hi,
As per my knowledge Oracle has provided two infrastructures, namely ODI and ESB for migrating data across applications.
My query is where I should use ESB and where ODI. Is there any comparison document available? I heard that for bulk data movement ODI is suggested by Oracle. Is there any benchmark exists for comparing these two tools?
I also want to map these tools with Oracle E-Business suite's conversion process. Is it possible to map each stage of a traditional Conversion Process (Data Loading, Validating, Importing to Oracle EBusiness Suite) using these tools?
Any kind of help/idea will be very much appreciated.
Regards.
Tapas

I also think that same way. I do not know what is so apecial about BEA Aqualogic ESB and other market matured ESB products such as TIBCO & SONIC. The samples which BEA has given in their evaluation guide are very simplistic. BEA should do more to provide extensive knowledge/features about their Aqualogic line of products.

Issue with Oracle service bus installation on Windows 7 64 bit machine

Hi,
I am trying to install Oracle service bus 11.1.1.4 in Windows 7 64 bit machine for which i have downloaded the generic installers of both weblogic server and Oracle service bus. As per the instructions -
1. Install JDK 1.6
2. Install Weblogic server
3.Install Eclipse separately (In my case Galileo 11.1.1.5 64 bit) - Just unzip the contents in the home directory where weblogic server is installed
4. Install OSB
I have installed all the above 1,2,3 in the same folder as per the instructions. But when i try to install OSB which asks for eclipse home location. But when i give the eclipse home location, it gives an error ""Home location is invalid" and i am unable to proceed with the installation.
I have tried this with OSB 11.1.1.5 as well and have the same issue.
Does anyone has any links which provides the steps to install OSB in Windows 7 64 bit machines or if someone can help me to resolve the above issue ?
I really appreciate any information on this as it is urgent.
Thanks

I have installed OEPE 11.1.1.6.1 now in the same middleware home as weblogic server but when i try to install OSB 11.1.1.4 in the same middleware home, it asks for OEPE home location. Even though i provide the OEPE home location , it displays as "invalid oepe home location".
I have been struggling to get this sorted out so that i can carry out IDE development in OSB 11.1.1.4
Below are the paths where sfotware are installed -
JDK - C:\Oracle\Middleware\Java\jdk1.6.0_21
Weblogic server - C:\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3
OEPE - C:\Oracle\Middleware\oepe-galileo-all-in-one-11.1.1.6.0.201007221355-win32-x86_64
Thanks

Oracle Service Bus SSO with Proxy Service

Hi all,
I protect Proxy Service. It means only authenticated user can able to access it.
But when i want to access from my application server (weblogic), i don't want to authenticate again with OSB.
Is there any way to use SSO between application server and Oracle Service Bus ?
With Regards,
Wai Phyo

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

Unable to send message in Service bus queue through Webrole which are connected to Azure VPN

I have created two Azure VPN and two cloud services(deployed webrole) and one service bus queue
First Azure VPN and cloud service(deployed webrole) is created in same affinity group.
Second Azure VPN and cloud service is created in West US
Service bus queue is also created in West US.
When I send message in service bus queue from first cloud service (same affinity group) then message sends successfuly
but when I send message in same service bus queue from second service(West US- Webrole) then unable to send message and not throwing any exception.
I don't know, whats happening?
Its very urgent..... client is waiting.
Please help me... Thanks.
hema

Thanks for reply. Got the cause but still looking for solution.
Actually we have created Azure VPN using Express route and
all are configured for Private Peering.
Try to access service bus queue from Web role which is attached to Express route network.
I am unable to access service bus queue and send message...because cloud services deployed in virtual networks are supported over the private peering path.
There are 3 types: public, private and default route (forced tunneling).
How can be configured for all 3 which will force all traffic through the tunnel except for Azure public service?
Do you have any idea on this scenario?
Thanks.

Below check assumes there's no clock skew between you and the Service Bus server. If there's a time difference more than 10 seconds then you may end up with renew attempts after message expires.
if (DateTime.UtcNow
> message.LockedUntilUtc.AddSeconds(-10))
And I suggest you to add a sleep in the renew loop. It's an overkill to make this check a million times every second. Doing this once a second should be fine.

What is SAP ESB (Enterprise Service Bus)?

Hi fellow sdners gurus I have been reading threads about SAP SOA and ESB.
I do not want to start a debate on wether XI is an ESB, but more of a statement to what is SAP ESB (if XI it is, then be it).
1) What is SAP ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) today (I could not find a clear answer to is)?
2) Who uses this SAP ESB in production currently and what kind of environment (i.e. strictly SAP backend systems, or combination of various vendors backend systems)?
Can someone share some light on this topic?
As a reminder, an ESB is expected to exhibit the following characteristics (source Wikipedia):
     It is usually operating-system and programming-language agnostic; for example, it should enable interoperability between Java and .NET applications.
     It uses XML (eXtensible Markup Language) as the standard communication language.
     It supports web-services standards.
     It supports various MEPs (Message Exchange Patterns) (e.g., synchronous request/response, asynchronous request/response, send-and-forget, publish/subscribe).
     It includes adapters for supporting integration with legacy systems, possibly based on standards such as JCA
     It includes a standardized security model to authorize, authenticate and audit use of the ESB.
     To facilitate the transformation of data formats and values, it includes transformation services (often via XSLT or XQuery) between the format of the sending application and the receiving application.
     It includes validation against schemas for sending and receiving messages.
     It can uniformly apply business rules, enriching messages from other sources, the splitting and combining of multiple messages and the handling of exceptions.
     It can provide a unified abstraction across multiple layers
     It can route or transform messages conditionally, based on a non-centralized policy (i.e. no central rules-engine needs to be present).
     It is monitored for various SLA (Service Level Agreement) threshold message latencies and other SLA characteristics.
     It (often) facilitates "service classes," responding appropriately to higher and lower priority users.
     It supports queuing, holding messages if applications are temporarily unavailable.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Jean-Michel

Service Bus 1.1 for Windows Server and AMQP connetion problems

I am having an issue making AMQP connection to Service Bus on my local Network. Service Bus 1.1 has been implemented on a development box Windows Server 2012 using SQL Express. The Windows Firewall is wide open for testing. The SB certificates
have been copied down to the client machine.
The connection to the topic using other than the AMQP protocol works just fine but as soon as the transport is changed to AMQP, the following is received
Error 10054 "An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host."
I have tried to change the connection string ports to reflect the AMQP settings to no avail.
The same code works in Azure using AMQP, but the STSEndpoint is not present for that code.
The STSEndpoint comes from the connection sting generated by the WS SB Management Portal.
I am sure that I missed a step or that if a certificate is added somewhere this should work.
The AMQP is an important item as if it is not made to work, a different messaging platform will have to be implemented at quite a large cost ie Red H4T. Using Azure outright is not an option either.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

I think I found the problem, and it is in the connection string. you have probably just added the ;TransportMode=Amqp to the connection string in order to change the connection type to AMQP. However, you also need to change the runtime port to 5671.
<add key="Microsoft.ServiceBus.ConnectionString" value="Endpoint=sb://servicebus...net/TestNamespace;StsEndpoint=https://servicebus...net:9355/TestNamespace;RuntimePort=5671;ManagementPort=9355;SharedAccessKeyName=RootManageSharedAccessKey;SharedAccessKey=XXXXX/E=;TransportType=Amqp" />

Creating A Service Bus SAS Token and Consuming Relay in WinRT

I have a Service Bus Relay (WCF SOAP) I want to consume in my Windows Store App. I have written the code to create a token as well as the client which is below.
The problem is that I get an AuthorizationFailedFault returned with a faultstring "InvalidSignature: The token has an invalid signature." And I can't figure it out.
My Create Token method:
private static string CreateSasToken()
TimeSpan sinceEpoch = DateTime.UtcNow - new DateTime(1970,1, 1);
var expiry = Convert.ToString((int)sinceEpoch.TotalSeconds + 3600);
string stringToSign = webUtility.UrlEncode(ServiceUri.AbsoluteUri) + "\n" + expiry;
string hashKey = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(Secret).ToString();
MacAlgorithmProvider macAlgorithmProvider = MacAlgorithmProvider.OpenAlgorithm(MacAlgorithmNames.HmacSha256);
BinaryStringEncoding encoding = BinaryStringEncoding.Utf8;
var messageBuffer = CryptographicBuffer.ConvertStringToBinary(stringToSign,encoding);
IBuffer keyBuffer = CryptographicBuffer.ConvertStringToBinary(hashKey,encoding);
CryptographicKey hmacKey = macAlgorithmProvider.CreateKey(keyBuffer);
IBuffer signedMessage = CryptographicEngine.Sign(hmacKey, messageBuffer);
string signature = CryptographicBuffer.EncodeToBase64String(signedMessage);
var sasToken = String.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture,
"SharedAccessSignature sr={0}&sig={1}&se={2}&skn={3}",
WebUtility.UrlEncode(ServiceUri.AbsoluteUri),
WebUtility.UrlEncode(signature), expiry, Issuer);
return sasToken;
My Client class:
public partial class ServiceClient
public async Task<string> GetDataUsingDataContract(string item, string sasToken)
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("ServiceBusAuthorization",sasToken);
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("SOAPAction",".../GetDataUsingDataContract");
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Host", "xxxxxxxxxxx.servicebus.windows.net");
HttpRequestMessage request = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post,ServiceUri);
var content =new StringContent(@"<s:Envelope
xmlns:s=""http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"">
<s:Header></s:Header><s:Body>"+ item +@"</s:Body>
</s:Envelope>",System.Text.Encoding.UTF8,"application/xml");
request.Content = content;
HttpResponseMessage wcfResponse = client.SendAsync(request).Result;
HttpContent stream = wcfResponse.Content;
var response = stream.ReadAsStringAsync();
var returnPacket = response.Result;
return returnPacket;
I have been successful consuming the Relay using Http (via Fiddler) by copying an unexpired token created by Micorosft.ServiceBus in a console app.

Thanks Girish. I eagerly await some help on this. I have figured a lot out but I am stuck on creating a good SAS Token.

SB-Messaging and service bus DLL within BTS seems not compatible with Cloud

I am trying to retreive a message from a Queue in azure service bus. The receive location gets disabled after 5 seconds of enabling it. The error message is :
The receive location "rlFromFireQueue" with URL "sb://muazure.servicebus.windows.net/firealertqueue" is shutting down. Details:"System.InvalidOperationException: This client is not supported for a partitioned entity. The client version
should be greater or equal than version '2013-10'..8653aa96-4c37-4ee1-8be8-52f2e9702ee0_G2_G2 ---> System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[System.ServiceModel.ExceptionDetail]: This client is not supported for a partitioned entity. The client version should
be greater or equal than version '2013-10'..8653aa96-4c37-4ee1-8be8-52f2e9702ee0_G2_G2
I had the same exact issue when I was using an old .Net console application which was using microsft.servicebus.dll version 2.1. I downloaded the 2.4 azure sdk and ran setup. After replacing the reference in my console project to the new version I was able
to send messages to my queue.
My BTS box is 2013 R2 (upgraded from 2013), I checked the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2013, I noticed that the Microsoft.ServiceBus.dll in this directory is version 2.1 which according to a thread in blog is not compatible
to a new property introduced since last summer ( clients will be updated to support partitioned entities) when creating a new queue using Quick Create.
So my question is : How can I update the SB-MESSAGING adapter to use a new version to be compatible with this improvments in Azure or more clearly is there any config or procedures to be done to make the bTS 2013R2 adapter compatible with Azure service bus
partioning feature
For your reference, here is the url for the blog where I found the information
http://mindovermessaging.com/2014/06/21/service-bus-queuetopic-partitioning-not-supported-in-biztalk-services/
Thanks in advance

I'm afraid you wont be able to update the SB-Messaging adapter because the partitioning option is not supported.
However you have an alternative:
You can try using a WCF-Custom port with netMessagingTransport binding. This should be tested, because I'm not 100% sure it supports the partitioning feature. However all necessary features are working because we are using this setup at a current integration
project.
Also be sure to check Paolo's blog for all the necessary information regarding configuration and setup: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsazure/How-to-integrate-BizTalk-f0195690

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.

AquaLogic Service Bus and XQuery Mapper

Hi all,
I'm new about using AquaLogic Service Bus and XQuery Mapper. I'm using alsb250_wls920.
To understand better the details I've developed two very simple EJBs stateless related to a generic CarRental scenario.
The idea is the following:
- EJB1 exposes a method for retrieving available cars from company A
- EJB2 exposes a method for retrieving available cars from company B
The method signature is the same:
public CarVO[] getAvailableCars(Category category, Double price)
the only difference is about the CarVO definition where one exposes more attributes than the second one (and also the package is different).
The goal is designing a new proxy service called getAvailableCars that calls the two above services and returns a set including all available cars from both companies.
The returned CarVO is the sum of all attributes from two above CarVOs plus a string company attribute.
So in AquaLogic I've defined:
- a JAR resource for importing my CarRental.jar
- two BusinessService resources related to the two above getAvailableCars services (from company A & B), called getAVISAvailableCars & getHertzAvailableCars;
- I've exported the two WSDLs from the two above BusinessService resources directly from AquaLogic console;
- I've written manually the WSDL 'getAvailableCars' that I use in the next proxy service definition
- a getAvailableCars_1 proxy service resource
Before completing the proxy service definition, I've decided to use XQuery Mapper for defining my trasformations.
But I got some errors when I try to import the WSDLs.
For importing simply I've created a wsdl folder inside my project and copied into it the 3 WSDLs definitions.
Because there are errors in 2 of these WSDLs (getHertzAvailableCars.wsdl, getAvisAvailableCars.wsdl) when I create a XQuery Transformation, I'm not able to select any source schema.
But getHertzAvailableCars.wsdl, getAvisAvailableCars.wsdl have been generated directly from AquaLogic console and I don't understand why XQuery Mapper complains about them.
If needed I can post also the CarRental.zip eclipse prj (that contains the above two EJBs) and CarRentalAqualogicPrj.jar AquaLogic prj (passphrase is aqualogic).
I thank you in advance for any suggestion.

Patrizio

Could you send me the WSDLS?

How and where to checkin service bus module.

Hello Geeks,
I am a newbie to Oracle Service Bus and trying to learn it.
Today i have developed my first service bus application and I am also able to deploy it.
As a deployment artifact , I am having sbconfig.jar.
My module contains 1 proxy , 1 business service and few xsd.
My question is
1.) what is the standard practice for checking service bus applications .?
2.) Where we checkin these files and how. ?
3.) do i have to checkin the sbconfig.jar itself in the repository. ?
Please help.
Cheers
SJ

No, this is a derived artifact, and shouldn't be checked into any VCS(*)
You check in the source files -- *.proxy, *.biz, *.xsd and so on, and also the content of the DevConfiguration folder.
P.S. Granted, those files are XML and branching and merging is a MAJOR PAIN in OSB, but this is the best you can do.
(*) Unless it is the Release Management VCS where they often require to drop the deployable artifact into there, because they are not very interested in sources when promote the code to PROD.
