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.

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

  • Empty BPEL Process in SOA 11g.

    HI,
    We created all bpel processes using Empty BPEL Process template Available in the jdeveloper. Then we add AQ adapter to read the data and calling some third party webservices.
    Is empty Bpel Processes option act as synchronous or asynchronous?
    as for my understanding its always act as a asynchronous.
    Please clear my doubt.

    Hi Pablo,
    Thanks For the reply.
    we are using DB adapter which will poll on table,that means this is the service which creates the bpel instance.
    the only prob we are facing is sometimes BPEL instances are never comeout from the RUNNING state and error its showing error as"The transaction was rolled back. The work performed for bpel instance "290086" was rolled back to the previous dehydration point, but the audit trail has been saved.You can recover the instance from the recovery console by resubmitting the callback message or activity for execution"
    Oracle suggested this problem occurs when you are using Synchronous processes. increase the timeout settings.
    DB adapter Polling is always Asynchronous?
    can you just share your thoughts on this..

  • 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.

  • How many memory is used for the process of one connection?

    Hi,
    how many memory is used for the process of one connection in unix
    when the user connects to the database?
    Thanks,

    Write some queries using v$sesstat, v$statname, v$session to find the statistics for different stats. Query name from v$statname and find whatever you wants. I don't think there is a common rule that tells how much memory will be used for each connection, it depends on different factors like , resources available, type of databases, database memory settings etc.
    Example query.
    select s.osuser osuser,s.serial# serial,se.sid,n.name,
    max(se.value) maxmem
    from v$sesstat se,
    v$statname n
    ,v$session s
    where n.statistic# = se.statistic#
    and n.name in ('session pga memory','session pga memory max',
    'session uga memory','session uga memory max')
    and s.sid=se.sid
    group by n.name,se.sid,s.osuser,s.serial#

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Modify unbounded task flow for login process

    I wonder if I can use the unbounded task flow for login process. I have a login page, a home page and a change password page. As per the requirements, I need to show the login page first, if user password is expired, I need to show change password page, after user save the new password, I show the home page. If user password is not expired, then we go to home page directly.
    I have modified the unbound task flow adfc-config.xml. I have created a method call, which references a method in my managed bean to check the redirect page. I have created a router, which would go to change password page or the home page based on different outcomes. But the problem is, every time when I run the application, it always goes to the home page directly, even when the user password is already expired. I have set up break point at the checking redirect page method in my managed bean, looks like it never got called.
    Did I miss any steps here? Please advise. Thanks.

    A method is not a runnable object in your pageflow - so you can't start from it.
    You need to start from a page when your run your project.
    One option - convert your flow to be a bounded flow with the method as a default URL and then run it.

  • Any java API to get the metadata for a deployed bpel process in soa/bpm11g?

    Hi,
    Just wonder if this is possible, that there is some existing java api to retrieve the metadata (containing activities, isSynchrous, version information etc) for a deployed bpel process? If not, is there any other way to achieve this goal ( or example query database table directly)?
    I can only find this link for soa11g java api. I am able to invoke the bpel process using this API(direct binding) from java client.
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/apirefs.1111/e10659/index.html?overview-tree.html
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    What I find so far:
    1. can get some process property values from ComponentInstance class, see its api.
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/apirefs.1111/e10659/oracle/soa/management/facade/ComponentInstance.html
    Please refer http://blogs.oracle.com/soabpm/2009/07/soa_suite_11g_api_tricks_part.html of how to get the component instance (contain the bpel process) from a composite object
    2. in dev_soainfra database schema, the CUBE_INSTANCE table contains most of soa bpel components information. The BPM_CUBE_PROCESS table seems to contain only the process defined in a bpm application. This sounds a little confused, if we want to develop a bpel application, should it be put in soa or bpm application and what is the difference?
    Please feel free to correct any mistakes here.

    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.
    Regards,
    AP

  • 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
    Assign_41

    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.
    regards
    Lammeki.
