Migrating jcaps to soa suite

Can anybody give some useful resources( tutorials etc..) that can be used to migrate JCAPS to SOA Suite. We have some composite applications( having bpel modules) in netbeans and need to migrate to SOA suite using jdeveloper. A little search showed me that there is some migration tool available but I can't seem to get it online anywhere on Oracle website. Help greatly appreciated.

Migration to SOA Suite

Hi guys, I'm new here. i tried to find the answer here, but without success.
We have to migrate eGate to SOA Suite for Healthcare Integration and I have following problem: on the eGate many collaborations are written on Monk, so far i know, SOA do not support it.
So do anyone know how to convert Monk in Java, because else we have to rewrite all classes :(
Thanks and Regards
Ferdinand

I am not really sure if there is still a good tool available for Monk to Java conversion. You may like to contact your local Oracle Sales Representatives to see if they can offer you any help/pointers in this area as they deal with a lot of migration scenarios.

Schematron validation error in BPEL, Oracle Soa Suite 11g

Hi Friends,
As per the requirement, I have to validate all the mandatory element values from an XML payload and need to send the consolidated report to the source application with all the validation failure elements.
I am trying to implement Schematron validation in BPEL, but its giving me the following error:
+<remoteFault>+
+<part name="summary">+
+<summary>oracle.fabric.common.FabricException: Cannot get Object part 'result'. No parts are set on the message</summary>+
+</part>+
+<part name="detail">+
+<detail>Cannot get Object part 'result'. No parts are set on the message</detail>+
+</part>+
+</remoteFault>+
I have followed the below process and created very basic sample composite.
1) Extracted the validate.wsdl from bpm-services.jar.
2) Imported the validate.wsdl into my Jdev Project.
3) Created partenr link based on the validation.wsdl and used Invoke activty to invoke the partner link.
4) Created .sch file and passed to input variable of the invoke activity.
If any one knows about this issue, plz help me. Or if any one has developed an example on how to use schematron in BPEL plz share it with me.
Thanks
Ramesh

1) How often did u see SOA suite being used in Non-Oracle Apps projects i.e projects that do not use Oracle Applications as the source data provider.Frankly speaking, not very often but still there are many customers who are using/willing to migrate on Oracle SOA Suite because of the many advantages provided by 11g stack.
2) How much Oracle Apps knowledge is required for choosing the career of Oracle SOA Suite Integration Architect? I would say that both the technologies have very less in common so it never depends on your level of Apps knowledge to architect a SOA solution. You have to learn SOA from scratch but if you have prior experience in Oracle Apps then it may not be very difficult for you to go ahead with SOA.

Migrate SOA Suite 10.3.3.1 to 11g

Hello
Does anyone know if there's documentation available about migrating my current SOA environment to the new 11g environment?
regards
Michel

There was a [good presentation|http://www28.cplan.com/cbo_export/208/PS_S298898_298898_208-1_v1.pdf] at [Open World|http://www.oracle.com/openworld/2008/index.html] (you need an account to access this) that outlines where 11g is going.
As Marc says, 11g SOA is not here yet. The purpose of TP4 is to let developers play with the new technology before it enters production. It should not be used to develop production SOA applications at this point in time.
If you need to deliver SOA applications today then use SOA Suite 10.1.3.4.
Marc raises a good point about migration of in-flight processes, I don't know what the answer is to that. Maybe one of the PMs can enlighten us.

JCAPS 6.0 SOA Suite download

Hi All,
How can i download JCAPS 6.0 SOA Suite? Help me.

You can't, unless you are a paying customer.
Look at https://open-esb.dev.java.net/ instead, if you need the open-source tools.

How to configure something similar to optSoapShortcut in SOA Suite 11g

Hi,
We are migrating processes in BPEL 10g to composites in SOA Suite 11g (11.1.1.5). In one of these processes we are extracting the ws-addressing elements replyTo and MessageID from the SOAP header from the calling process and saving these values into a database. They are later used to be able to reply back to the calling process. In 10g this was no problem but in 11g calls between processes are automatically optimized, meaning that they are not communicating using SOAP. Hence, it seems like we can't get the soap headers the normal way.
According to the Administration Guide for SOA Suite 11.1.1.5 the optSoapShortcut property has been removed which could be used in 10g to specify if the calls should be optimized or not. Is there any other way to configure this in SOA Suite 11g?
If not, is there any way to instead extract these elements from some BPEL API or similar?
Thanks!
Best wishes
Kerstin

For release 11g, SOAP optimization is automatically configured. Therefore, if you upgrade your projects from 10g to 11g and are using the optimized shortcut approach in existing applications, note that optimized calls are activated only when the hostname value (as referred to in the WSDL URL in the composite.xml file) matches the Server URL value. Either set both values to the hostname (for example, myhost) or to the full domain name (for example, myhost.domain.com). If these values do not match, a regular SOAP call is performed instead of an optimized local call.
You can still control this using oracle.webservices.local.optimization property.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15586_01/web.1111/b32511/configuring.htm#WSSEC3522
Refer to "Controlling When Local Optimization is Used"

Using Oracle 8i DB in SOA suite 11g

Hi All,
Good Morning.. Hope all are doing good.
I need a permanent solution or some work around for my below issue:
We were on SOA suite 10.1.3.4 and now we are migrating to SOA suite 11.1.1.5
We have legacy system which has Oracle 8i DB.
For some of our interfaces we are using this 8i DB for intergration.
But 11g SOA suite doenst support Oracle 8i DB.
But is there any option or any sort of work around so that we can use this?
Any option, suggestion, work around are most welcome.
Hope I will have some options to try with, and resolve this issue.
Thanks all for your valuable time spent on my issue.
Cheers,
Chandru

Hi Chandru
1. Yes, what you want is very much possible. I would like to clarify few things hopefully if you are not already aware of this.
2. Earlier SOA 10g is on top of Oracle's OAS/OC4J. Now SOA 11.5 is on top of the Weblogic Server app server which is from BEA. When you create SOA 11.5 (or any soa 11.x domain), to store all meta-data you need atleast 2 minimum schemas in some Oracle Database like SOA_INFRA, MDS. These schemas are created using a giant utilty sql script(s) called RCU (Repository Creation Utility). Now this RCU can work only with Oracle 10g and 11g databases and NOT oracle 8i DB. But remember this is only to store all the Process/Task information in Meta-Data tables which you hardly change or modify.
3. So go ahead and upgrade to SOA 11.5 and use latest Oracle 11g or 10g database for RCU. Now comes your old legacy usecase, which needs some data from Oracle 8i db. This means it is a custom application or custom usecase that connects to Oracle 8i. From Weblogic Admin Console, you can create something called Data Source (having a connection pool) and give DB Host, port, sid, username/password of your 8i db. And choose Oracle 10 g thin drivers. If I am not wrong, Oracle 10g drivers should support oracle 8i db also. Using this DataSource JNDI name, you can do pretty much everything either from Java Code, EBJ code or from the Workflow application.
4. As other users mentiones, you can always use DB Adapter to connect to this 8i DB. Worst case, I am not a DB Expert. But in Oracle 11g or 10 g database, I wonder if you can create like a DB Link to connect to your old 8i Database. DB experts can help here.
5. Finally if none of the above solutions work, you can always write a simple JAVA/EJB code to connect to your database in very primitive way directly giving db host, port, sid, username, plain text password and if required add 8i DB oc4j jar in classpath. Then use java embedded or ejb adapter to pull this data into your bpel process. Hopefully you may not end up here.
In conclusion, yes it should be possible to access your data from 8i database but SOA Domain should point to ORacle 10g/11g DB only though for its meta-data etc.
Here is a post for similar case but for OBIEE 11g that wants to create Reports from 8i DB:

Oracle Oracle SOA Suite 10g (10.1.3.1.0) with Oracle Forms

I need run an Oracle Forms 6i application on then web, after migration process that convert modules to Oracle Forms 10g modules, can i run my application on the Oracle Application Server latest version (Oracle Oracle SOA Suite 10g (10.1.3.1.0))?

Forms and reports is not included in the 10.1.3 release - so you need to deploy Forms and reports on 10.1.2 and 10.1.3 on a different installation home. Next release of Forms will be 11

Control user access in SOA Suite 11.1.1.2 Console

Hi All,
We recently migrated our application from SOA Suite 11.1.1.1 to 11.1.1.2 . In 1.1 we had an end user account assigned to the Monitor group which could access the middleware console and view composite flows but could not deploy/undeploy or retire/activate processes. However the same user in 1.2 can log in to the console but cannot view a composite flow.
In the dashboard we get the following error:
Unable to retrieve composite details.
Error retrieving Composite CompositeName (1.0) details from soa-infra runtime. This could happen due to the errors in soa-infra initialization. Please view the log files for details.
EJB Exception: ; nested exception is:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Caller doesn't have enough permission to call this method.
My question is... how do we create a user in weblogic which will allow a user to view process flows but wont not deploy/undeploy or retire/activate privileges?
Thanks in advance,
Shaf

So the reason is, you need to add users/groups to the SOAMonitor Application Role for them to be able to view instance data. Below are the instructions.
Here are the instructions on how to create Monitoring Roles:
Instruction to add SOA application role SOA Monitor to user "monitoruser":
1. log in em as weblogic user
2. right click on SOA/soa-infra(soa_server1) on the left panel and select Security => Application Roles.
3. click on the "play button" to select "Role Name". A list will appear and you select SOAMonitor. The page "Application Roles > Edit Application Role" appears.
4. Click Users/Add Users, a "Add User" popup appears. Click on the "play button", select user "monitoruser" from left column and move it to the right column. And click on "ok"
If you have your WebLogic environment set up per EDG Guidelines (where your admin servers and managed servers are on different hosts or same host, different directories) you may not be able to see the list of Application Roles in the above instructions. First you would need to copy your JAZN Policies to the Admin Server or move to LDAP. The SOA Application Roles and policies will likely be stored in your mserver configuration (if you deployed SOA there). A restart is not required afterwards.
As per the docs EDG deployment requires OID for policy store because there are two copies of policy store file, system-jazn-data.xml:
$ORACLE_BASE/admin/soaedg_domain/mserver/soaedg_domain/config/fmwconfig/system-jazn-data.xml
and
$ORACLE_BASE/admin/soaedg_domain/aserver/soaedg_domain/config/fmwconfig/system-jazn-data.xml
EDG states in section 11.1.1
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/core.1111/e12036/oam.htm#CACJADGI
"...The Oracle Fusion Middleware SOA Suite EDG topology uses different domain homes for the Administration Server and the Managed Server, thus Oracle requires the use of an LDAP store as policy and credential store for integrity and consistency..."

Can I install SOA Suite 11 without DBA user?

I will use the RCU tool for create the required SOA's schemas on an Oracle database for my installation. But my company's policies prohibit me to use a user with DBA privileges. So my question is, It's possible to install the SOA Suite using a user who is not a DBA?
Furthermore, as a migration test I 'm planning to create the SOA's schemas in a database "A" with its DBA user, then perform a schema export of the newly created to finally perform a import of that in another database "B" using its DBA user. Does this will work? My concerns have to do with privileges not granted in the new database.
Thanks in advance!

You don't need to have the DBA role to create users, but you need the specific rights granted to create the users, roles, tables, etc. Unfortunately, I don't have a complete list of GRANTS you need to be able to create the complete schemas.
To export/import a schema, you could either export the complete user or just the tables. The later requires that you create the user with exactly the same rights and tablespaces.
All this is much easier, if you have the DBA role granted...
Unfortunately, the installations guides in the product documentation (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/index.htm) don't provide any clues.

Problem after restart of a database used by a database adapter in SOA suite

We are migration from Oracle interconnect to SOA suite. I am a bit worried that I am taking a backwards step in robust drift. I restarted a Oracle database that is used as an end point in both interconnect and SOA. In both cases the database adapter in interconnect and the partner link in SOA start throwing java error messages. This is not the problem, what worries me is that with Interconnect restarting the database adapter allows queued messages to be written to the database, nothing goes missing. But with SOA suite the messages that could not be delivered before restarting SOA suite end as "canceled" that is to say they do NOT get completed. What happened to guaranteed transaction delivery? or am i missing something.

Hi,
The JNDI Name to use for the service connection is "eis/DB/soademoDatabase".
This Database is a requirement of the course... (Chapter 4 of Getting Started with Oracle SOA Suite 11g R1 - A Hands-On Tutorial).

Proxy settings for SOA Suite 10.1.3.1.0

Hi,
after migrating my processes into the new SOA Suite 10.1.3.1.0, one of my processes won't run anymore. This is due to missing proxy configuration.
I followed this explanation[1] which worked for the process manager 10.1.2xx but not for the SOA Suite.
I really appreciate your help and any suggestions.
thanks,
Gregor
[1] how to config the proxy of Bpel process manager(with password)

You need to go to the AS Control pages (Enterprise Manager). Click on the container that runs SOA suite (typically "home" for simple install, or "OC4J_SOA" for advanced install).
On the OC4J page, click on the "Administration" tabsheet. Click on "Server Properties".
You should find the commandline options for OC4J.
You will need to set the following options:
-Dhttp.useProxy=true
-Dhttp.proxyHost=<your proxyserver>
-Dhttp.proxyPort=<your proxyport>
-Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=<any servers like localhost you don't want to run via the proxy>

SOA Suite Components on JBoss - not possible?

Hi,
I am currently evaluating the Oracle SOA products for a new project.
We would like to use JBoss instead of OC4J and use Oracle BPEL Process Manager, Oracle ESB and Oracle Web Service Manager.
Running on OC4J is not possible, especially since Oracle will replace it with Weblogic in the next release.
What I have found are instructions for installing BPEL PM and the whole SOA Suite on JBoss.
These are VERY COMPLEX and CUMBERSOME (two patches have to be installed semi-manually) installations and I have not been able to make them work in my first attempt.
For ESB and WSM I have not seen any information at all.
We have not bought the products yet and I have to say that this is a very bad start in the evaluation of product quality and support quality.
Please clarify if Oracle's support for alternative application servers only exists in the data sheets or also in reality.
If we purchase the components, will we have access to other installables that run directly on JBoss?
If anyone has good experience with Oracle SOA on JBoss I'd be glad to know.
Kind Regards
Fabian

Fabian,
Oracle's support for other applications servers such as JBoss, Websphere, WebLogic, etc is more a sales story than something that people do in practice. Oracle doesn't want to lose a sale because a customer has a strategic alliance with a particular application server. So they support SOA Suite on the main competitors. Licensing is a dark art and I couldn't give you a 100% guarantee on how SOA Suite is sold but to get SOA Suite you need to license enterprise Application Server. SOA Suite is on top of this. If you turn it around if you buy SOA suite you get Oracle Application Server enterprise edition (includes OC4J) for free.
So if you are looking at using JBoss for a cost cutting exercise I don't believe the licensing at Oracle will help you.
The install for SOA Suite is the install for ESM + WSM, there is no separate install for these products for thrid party application servers. So you topology is not as flexible as it could be is you used Oracle Application Server.
Your proposed option of SOA Suite (ESB, WSM) is an option using the document provided in previous post.
When I say Oracle Application Server I mean Oracles existing Application Server, Not Web Logic. There is currently a progression of porting the OC4J apps to Weg Logic, this should be completed when 11g arrives. There are a few version release before this happens, each one providing more functionality.
If I was you I would understand the price of SOA Suite on JBoss as apposed to Oracle Application Server. If the price comes close then I would go with using the Oracle Application Server. If you want to use the ESB, I would go with Aqua Logic installed on WLS. Currently SOA Suite is not certified on the 10.3 release hence keep it on the Oracle Application Server. There will be a migration path to 11g next year.
cheers
James
