Oracle Service Bus: Monitoring/Tracking Consumer Services?

Hi,
since we have a Oracle Service Bus and a Oracle Service Registry, is there any standard solution for tracking which consumer services/applications are accessing which provider services? What we need is monitoring the applications (consumer) which are accessing an specific service (provider) registered in the OSB. Is it possible to have this information as monitoring/statistical data in the Oracle Service Bus console? if not, any suggestion to implement such behaviour ?
Thank you in advance,
Antonio.

I would like to have (don't know where) a list with all my consumer services (outside OSB) and so map them with the accessed proxy services (providers on OSB). The aim for this functionality is being able to monitor which consumer services from outside the OSB (then I need a place where these services can be identified and listed) are accessing specific proxy services published as providers on the OSB. Is like "well, I have my proxies published on the OSB, but I need to know WHO (consumers outside the OSB) is accessing to them?". I don't know if such functionality is provided by the Oracle Service Registry or the Service Bus, or it's just a custom implementation without any Oracle product.
Thank you for your help Manoj!
Antonio.

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

Oracle Service Bus 11g { for financial services }

Latest version available of ORACLE SERVICE BUS FOR FINANCIAL SERVICES is 10gR3 (10.3.1.0) and that of ORACLE SERVICE BUS is 11.1.1.3.0
Are features provided in OSB FOR FINANCIAL SERVICES { like support for specific message formats and protocols such as SWIFT and FIX }
available in OSB 11g and if not, how to get these features with OSB 11g?
Thanks, Yogesh
Edited by: Yogesh Ketkar on Jun 24, 2010 11:36 AM

It is normal practice to release OSB FOR FINANCIAL SERVICES shortly after release of OSB.
So OSB 11gR1 for Financial services should be released any time soon, as OSB 11g R1 is already released.
Please talk to Oracle Sales representative for exact dates.
Thanks

Oracle Service Bus- Monitoring

Hi,
Is there a way to extract monitoring statistics like: Pipeline matrix, action matrix using jmx monitoring API?
Thanks.

this same question has been asked recently in another thread (can't find it now)
essentially you have this API exposed as a JMX transport, but without a corresponding MBean:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e15867/app_jmx_monitoring.htm
I think it would not be very difficult to expose it through a MBean and register the MBean into the WebLogic MBeanServer.
As soon as I find 1 hour I will do it and (hopefully) let you know (I always say so and never do it :o( )

Oracle Service Bus 11gR1 - missing Web Services Security Configuration?

I am trying to configure a web service which uses username token policy.
The below option is missing in Proxy Service --> Security
Web Services Security Configuration
Process WS-Security Header Yes NoIs there anything that needs to be enabled for the above to show up in Proxy Service-->Security.

This option was enabled by removing the username token policy from the wsdl file.
Thanks for looking.

Where are the forums for BEA Products? (Service Bus, Data Services, etc.)

There is a somewhat vague message on the old BEA forums saying they have been moved here - along with a link to a non-existent 'Welcome FAQ'.

(In an complete reversal of his previous comment, Hans states:)
I'm not sure whether the Aqualogic Forums have been migrated, or (if they have) what they have been mapped to. Can't find 'em either.
Oracle's recent webinar was pretty clear about JRockit and Weblogic server being the direction.
However, for Aqualogic - based on that same webinar, my misinterpretation is that Aqualogic is one of the 'merged' families, where the best of breed is being chosen for each subset or solution area. That may be causing a delay in the forums being transferred and/merged.
Hoping Oracle comes up with a document that clearly maps both the products and the forums. The list of products is
BEA AquaLogic User Interaction
BEA AquaLogic BPM
BEA AquaLogic Integrator
BEA AquaLogic Service Bus
BEA AquaLogic Data Services Platform
BEA AquaLogic Registry Repository

Restricting azure service bus access to certain IP range

I am using service bus from two cloud services WebRoleC1 and WorkerRoleC2.
on pushes some data and other received data by subscribing to topics.
Every application maintains the service bus connection details in its web/cloud config. Everything works fine.
I have multiple instance running of the same application for different customers , people make confusion while deploying and Put wrong connection details in say WorkerRoleC2 so it connects to Service bus of another customer.
I want to put restriction on service bus SB1 that only WebRoleC1 and WorkerRoleC2 can connect to it. If WorkerRoleC3 has the proper key then also connection should fail.
This also prevents people from attacking service bus if now public ip.
I don't want service bus to publicly exposed.
Thanks,
Subodh

Service Bus does allow you to restrict receive access to specific subscriptions. You can set credentials such that a client 1 can receive messages from a specific subscription whereas a client 2 cannot.

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.

Oracle Service Bus 10.3.1 proxy consuming jms (AQJMS)

Hi,
I need to use AQJMS with Oracle Service Bus proxy.
We have an installation with WLS 10.3 and OSB 10.3.1 and another with WLS 10.3.1 where I defined a JMS Foreign Server like appears in the documentation http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/web.1111/e13738/aq_jms.htm#JMSAD565.
I need support to how to define the URI at the OSB configuration.. jms://server:port/XAQueueConnectionFactory/QueueName... because I tried a lot of ways and can't make it work.
Thank You in Advance...
Juan Pablo

Hi,
Because I want to use the jms protocol... because if I change AQJMS with another JMS Provider the only thing that I must change in OSB is jms://server:port/CF/Q
In SOA Suite 10.1.3.x I use JMS Adapter for this...
Thank You.

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.

This is really putting me off and its really disappointing to see all these issues in this new release.
How can oracle let a release slip in with such a Major Issue.
Please can any one help or provide a work around atleast.
Regards
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.

Can somebody please explain what this means in: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/integration/service-bus/docs/Oracle-Service-Bus-SOD.pdf
+...The web-based console was complemented in the 3.0 release with full IDE support in Eclipse. The Eclipse capabilities will be ported to Oracle JDeveloper to provide a one-stop IDE for all SOA design needs. Until that port is complete, customers will still be able to use the Eclipse environment as IDE (in addition to the web-based console)...+
More specifically: what will happen to the Eclipse OSB plugin/workshop once the JDeveloper port is complete?
A) will it cease to exist and/or be terminated?
B) will it remain as is, without keeping the functionality in synch with new stuff in JDev?
C) will it continue to evolve side-by-side with JDev?
Thx,
-J.

I think it is clear that Oracle will remain commited to Eclipse in terms of deploying java applications to WebLogic, they will provide some plugins for some time to come. You will however see oracle specific products, such as OSB, Portal, etc removed from Eclipse and ported to JDev. The reason for this is that Oracle can release new releases within their timeframe. If Oracle rely on Eclipse to deliver some functionality before they can release new products then they will be doing their customers a disservice.
This statement in the SOD clearly states that JDev is the strategic platform and the Eclipse IP will be ported to JDev in the future:
Design-Time Environment
JDeveloper is the IDE of choice for SOA development at Oracle. AquaLogic Service Bus users have traditionally been using the web-based console to design, manage and monitor ESB flows. The web console is a key differentiator for ALSB (now Oracle Service Bus) and will therefore remain a primary design
environment moving forward.
The web-based console was complemented in the 3.0 release with full IDE support in Eclipse. The Eclipse capabilities will be ported to Oracle JDeveloper to provide a
one-stop IDE for all SOA design needs. Until that port is complete, customers will still be able to use the Eclipse environment as IDE (in addition to the web-based
console).

Hi,
I am new to OSB and FMD so want some good working examples/samples which can explain how to call the FMD cartridge from OSB.

Oracle Service Bus 10gR3 contains the JCA framework which will eventually allow us to exploit the whole set of JCA adapters currently in use in BPEL Process Manager. Over the next few months several JCA adapters will be certified to be used with Oracle Service Bus - the Database adapter is one of the first of these.
As for SOA Suite and WebLogic bundling, let me explain. SOA Suite contains the following products:
BPEL Process Manager
Business Activity Monitoring
Business Rules
Web Services Manager
Complex Event Processing
B2B
ESB (the old Oracle ESB product)
Service Bus (formerly AquaLogic Service Bus from BEA)
This does not come with an application server as the suite is hot-pluggable (i.e. can be used with a number of application servers). However, the preferred (and cheaper) approach is to purchase SOA Suite and WebLogic Suite (which contains iAS, WebLogic Enterprise Edition, Coherence, JRockit with 100ms deterministic garbage collection and WebLogic Operations Control). This is because some of the elements of the SOA Suite only currently run on iAS (B2B) and some only run on WebLogic Server (Oracle Service Bus) although in the future these will also become hot pluggable.
To find out more, check out the SOA Suite and WebLogic Suite pages below:
[SOA Suite|http://www.oracle.com/technologies/soa/soa-suite.html]
[WebLogic Suite|http://www.oracle.com/appserver/weblogic/weblogic-suite.html]
You will find the DataSheets are particularly useful for giving you an overview of the suite.
Hope that helps.
