OSB and ESB

What's the difference between OSB and ESB.
ESB is a component of SOA Suite and it can connect to different services.
OSB has more functions such as dynamic routing and Message Enrichment. If I just buy SOA suite, can I use OSB? Or I must buy OSB if I want to use it in my application which contains SOA components.

Hi-
Hope this helps!
Oracle Service Bus (OSB) is the new name for AquaLogic Service Bus (ALSB). Oracle Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is the 'old' Oracle product.
ESB is currently better integrated with BPEL due to fast path connections between the two (don't use web services if they don't need to) and also uses the same adapter framework.
OSB is more functional than ESB, providing better monitoring and dashboard capabilities. It also allows richer message routing, throttling and message enrichment.
Currently release of SOA suite doesn't contain OSB integrated to it(we can expect it n future releases from Oracle) ,you need to install OSB 11g/any required version seperatey for OSB development.

  • What is ESB and OSB? why OSB when ESB avail? when to use which of these?

    Hi,
    What is ESB and OSB? why OSB when ESB avail? when to use which of these? Which is recommendabale?

    ESB (Enterprise Serice Bus) is backbone of SOA. OSB (Oracle Service Bus) is an ESB product. Before the acquisition of BEA, Oracle was using OESB (Oracle Enterprise Service Bus) as a service bus but after that Oracle renamed ALSB (Aqualogic Service Bus) to OSB. Below SOD should help you out in understanding -

  • OSB and SOA Server (Mediator) Design question

    As OSB is the strategic ESB and is used for external services does it make sense that all communication must go out via the OSB.
    For example if I have a request that comes in gets routed through the OSB and then calls a backend composite which contains a BPEL that sits on the Oracle SOA server that calls multiple external services (CRM, SAP etc..) Would all the calls out from the BPEL then go back to the OSB and out to the external services (via proxy/business services.) This seems to add a lot of network hops to the whole architecture.
    I can't really seem to find a diagram to explain this but an external service consumer could call the Oracle SOA stack that will come in via the OSB (for security gateway as OWSM 11g doesn't support gateway yet.) Then get transformed into the CDM and then passed on to the Oracle SOA server that has a composite service with BPEL that orchestrates multiple calls to internal and external services. The external ones requiring a transformation back into the service providers format.
    How does this flow work?

    If you are talking to external B2B systems you should use the Oracle B2B Server, have a look at this link,
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/integration.1111/e10229/b2b_intro.htm#CEGGAGJA
    Section 1.6 in there gives a good example of doing just that. The OSB mediator is responsible for talking between CDM's in this case so it does some internal work, within one CDM set of services and then when ready the mediator translates from CDM to the format needed for the B2B. The B2B Server then does all the clever stuff needed to talk to the B2B partner.
    In the internal case where the call is within the Enterprise the Oracle documentation states that there may be cases when doing this translation from CDM to legacy format may take place within the SOA server but recommends that it is normally done using the mediator in the same way as with partner calls. The 11g developer documentation states "The stated direction by Oracle is for the Oracle Service Bus to be the preferred ESB for interactions outside the SOA Suite. Interactions within the SOA Suite may sometimes be better dealt with by the Oracle Mediator component in the SOA Suite, but we believe that for most cases, the Oracle Service Bus will provide a better solution and so that is what we have focused on within this book."
    Just what those exceptions are is an interesting question. If you have a CDM and all of your legacy world has translators you will spend all of your time hoping up to the mediator and back down maybe that is the exception. If everything is using the mediator then the SOA orchestration power is lost. If on the other hand most of your system lives within a canonical schema and there is one exception perhaps you make it pay the price for non-conformance.

  • OSB and SOA Suite in the Java Cloud

    Hi All -- the question is rather to a technical support personnel of the Oracle Cloud,
    Is it possible to deploy and run the OSB and SOA Suite applications on the Oracle Java Cloud? To be more precise:
    1. Is the WL server in the cloud configured to contain the Oracle Soa Suite?
    2. Is the WL server in the cloud configured to contain the Oracle Service Bus?
    If not: would it be possible to configure the Cloud WL domains the way that these are supported?
    What we need are two servers (or two clusters): a SOA Suite application runs on one, while the OSB application runs on the other.
    Thanks for help.

    Hi Chris,
    Oracle's statement of direction that you can find at
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/integration/service-bus/docs/Oracle-Service-Bus-SOD.pdf
    there will be convergence of the 2 products that basically address 2 different use cases (see Statement of Direction).
    In my opinion new tools will be added to Jdeveloper to develop and deploy on Oracle Service Bus (OSB). In present OSB version, OSB tools are not part of Jdeveloper and transformations use XQuery instead of XSLT (as for Oracle ESB).
    Hope this help you a little bit.

  • OSB and OESB

    Hi All,
    I have learnt that , there is no more "Oracle Enterprise Server Bus (OESB)" offered from the Oracle. But Oracle has instead offer Oracle Service BUS (OSB). I am confuse about these two products different and how Oracle offer to the customers as the following :
    1) Someone told me that Oracle still offer "OESB" as the product that bundle inside "Oracle AS EE" which is included with "WebLogic Suite" , IS it correct ? Is there any document from Oralce that indicate this fact ?
    2) If there is no more "Oracle ESB (OESB)' why Oracle still have the datasheet from their Web site : http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/integration/esb/pdf/ds_esb_v10_1_3.pdf
    3) Some presentation from Oracle indicated that "OESB" will be changed to "Mediator in SOA 11g", Is it correct ? Then how differents in term of features between "OESB" and "Mediator (in SOA 11g)"
    4) How different between "OSB" and "OESB" ?
    Could you please help clarify these questions ? Thank you very much in advance.
    Best Regards
    Pearapon S.

    1) Correct the pricelist should indicate this.
    2) It is still supported and can be purchased.
    3) Correct, this has been done. The features remain the same although Mediator handles state.
    4) Very different. In 11g the architecture changes with the introduction of SCA. OSB is not part of this architecture as it is designed to mediate composites, whereas mediator is used for mediation within the composite. OSB has many more functions. Too many to list.
    That blog is a good place to start. Bottom line is that both are strategic for Oracle and currently have no plans to drop any of them.
    cheers

  • What is difference between ESB Service and ESB Service Group

    Guys please tell me What is difference between ESB System and ESB Service Group and when we use them, i mean in what condition.

    The use of these is explained in the ESB developers guide along with some examples in what case to use them. See: http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/integrate.1013/b28211/esb_jdev.htm#sthref167

  • Performance tuning in BPEL and ESB

    Hi,
    Any one can tell me how to do Performance tuning in BPEL and ESB.
    How to create WEB SERVICES in BPEL

    Hi',
    Performance tuning in BPEL and ESB.
    ***This is very big topic I can give you 2 points here
    In BPEL we should avoid the use of duplicate variable, the best way to do this is, when ever we are creating a new variable
    we need to ask can we reuse variable from inside the process, example when creating the input/output variable in Invoke activity
    we need to check if we can use some existing variable instead of creating new.
    All the DB related operation should be performed in 1 single composite.
    How to create WEB SERVICES in BPEL
    Not sure what you want to ask here, as BPEL is itself a webservice.

  • 1 Admin console to manage OSB and SOA installed on different servers

    Dear All,
    We are planning to have OSB installed on Host 1 and SOA server installed on Host 2. But there will be one Admin console to manage these 2 for the ease of maintenance. When i was trying to install this configuration I had few issues. Hope SOA experts can help me with the configuration.
    1)
    As SOA and OSB are installed on 2 different host both the servers must have weblogic installed as pre requisite. So I will have
    on host 1:
    http://host1:7001/console
    http://host1:7001/sbconsole
    On host 2:
    http://host2:7001/console (this is redundant)
    http://host2:8001/soa-infra
    2) Is it possible to inactivate http://host2:7001/console ? and add SOA server running on host2 to http://host1:7001/console. In the sense, I would like to control the SOA server from host 1.
    Issue No :2
    When I create a domain on Host 1 I just get the options for OSB and not SOA. It is obvious as SOA is not installed on Host1. but if that is the case, Is it possible to add SOA server running on host2 to host1. Is it going to be a cluster?
    Is this configuration seems realistic? Has anyone implemented. Any pointers please.

  • BPM and ESB

    Please tell the difference between BPM and ESB.

    Basically, and very briefly
    ESB is used to proxy disparate services running on the backed in a unifed way.
    BPM is used to orchestrate business processes using services exposed by an ESB. A process can be exposed as a service too.
    Normally BPM sits on top of an ESB to provide the process layer into the global architecture.
    Hope it helps clarifying.

  • Failure messages to be displayed in BAM and ESB Portal

    Hi,
    As per requirement, I need to display all resumable/Non-resumable messages in both BAM and ESB Portals.for resumable messages,admin will resubmit the messages from ESB Portal.Please let me know how to achieve this requirement.

    I have a project requirement, where I have to show all failure messages(resumable\non-resumable) in BAM and ESB portal.
    Order Creation Process:
    1. Developed Main Orchestration and exposed as a webservice for front end client. There are sub -process orchestration involved
    2.Front end client will consume Main Orchestration Service and submit the data
    3.There are multiple sub -process orchestration are involved after receving the data from Main Orchestration
    4.while executing Order Process, if any error occurs in any of the orchestration then those failure's to be displayed in BAM and ESB Management Portal
    5. Based on the Order ID  End User will need to search failure message details  from BAM
    6. The failure message will be resubmit from ESB Management Portal for further process.
    Please let me know your thoughts on how to provide the solution for above approach

  • What is the main difference between BPEL and ESB

    Hi all,
    I am making use ESB in my application .Where the my client application calls ESB and inturn the ESB calls the BPEL process .
    I want to know the differences between BPEL and ESB,I came to know that ESB can do messaging and routing ,where my BPEL process can also do the same thing .
    I came to know form a vendor that ESB is used for connecting to multiple end points ,where as my BPEL process can also do this.
    SO what is main purpose of using ESB ?

  • Forcing HTTP comm between BPEL and ESB

    Hi all,
    for demo purposes, I'd like to disable the internal and non-HTTP communication between BPEL and ESB when both are deployed on same OC4J container.
    I do not want to modify any WSDL but, if possible, disable somehow such internal communication. AFAIK, there was a property named "optSoapShortcut" in 10.1.2 but it no longer exists in 10.1.3.
    Any clues?
    TIA

    Hi.
    Sometime ago I tried to work with a BPEL property named preferredBindings, but it didn't work at all.
    WSM Gateway is bypassed when WSDL has SOAP and JCA binding. How to choose??
    I don't know if I came across a bug, but in theory I believe this is something like this:
    To indicate you want ESB binding:
    <property name="preferredBindings">http://www.oracle.com/esb/</property>
    To indicate you want SOAP binding (I'm not sure):
    <property name="preferredBindings">http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/</property>
    Please let me know about your results.
    Regards.

  • Way to protect my bpel and esb jar (SOA 10g)  from reverse engineering?

    Hi All
    We would be sharing our BPEL and ESB jars with some other company for deployment? Is there a way to protect them so that they are not able to peak into the contents of the jar?
    If I extract the jar file, i can see all my XSD, WSDL, XSL, BPEL and ESB files as it is (the same as in JDEV)?
    is there a way to protect them? Please help its urgent!

    The use of a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a viable and extremely cost-effective alternative to the HSM, if the encryption and key-management application is designed properly. This is the approach we took when storing encrypted data and encrypted-keys within a database for our key-,management system. However, when using cryptographic hardware modules in your solution (that also meet regulatory requirements for split-knowledge and multiple key-custodians), your design for the solution must be carefully thought out to ensure that the implementation is reasonably secure and that it meets regulatory requirements. Storing an unencrypted key (or password that decrypts a PBE-based key) anywhere on a disk is an invitation for disaster.

  • Set polling time with BPEL and ESB File Adapters

    We have create file adapters in BPEL and ESB. We see where you can set the frequency for polling but do not see a place to set the polling time. We would like it to check a directory every 24 hours at midnight. We can set the 24 hours but not the midnight. How does ESB and BPEL determine the time to run based upon the interval?

    Oracle SOA is started, from the time the adapter is loaded, the interval counting starts. It is not on a particular time.
    If you want to start a BPEL process on a certain time, you could use the quartz timer fucntionality of BPEL to start an instance on a particular time (like unix cron tab).

  • Deployment of BPEL (and ESB) into Clustered Environment

    Hi All,
    I was after any view points / pointers into peoples experiences into deployment of BPEL and ESB into a clustered Oracle iAS SOA suite environment, where there are two or more nodes running BPEL, ESB etc with a corresponding OHS Loan Balancers. I have been unable to find any specific information with regards to recommendations into the best ways to deploy into a clustered environment.
    My viewpoints are there are two alternative approaches that could be used, both of which use ANT deployment scripts to register / deploy the various services.
    (1) Leaving all nodes up in the cluster and using a properties file to specify the relevant details, deploy to one environment allowing the load balancer to distribute the software to the respective nodes in the cluster
    (2) Deploy to each of the nodes in turn ensuring all other nodes in the cluster are taken down during each separate deployment
    What are other peoples thoughts / experiences / recommendations?
    Thanks in Advance
    Dave

    I don't believe there is any real information on deployments in a cluster in those documents.
    There is a note on metalink 457654.1 which says to apply to each node, while doing this shut down the other servers. From experience this worked for some configuration and not others.
    Can you say what cluster deployment you used, e.g. 10.1.3.1 or 10.1.3.3 with BPEL and ESB-RT in the same oc4j?
    Also what version are you on. If you are on 10.1.3.4 using the 10.1.3.3 deployment configuration you don't need to shutdown the nodes. And you can get away with just deploying to one node but make sure your <ORACLE_HOME>/bpel/system/config/collaxa-config.xml file has been set to cluster = true. Look at metalink note 746251.1.
    You can experience the notorious Process Lock Timeout Error when not shutdown cleanly but this is resolved using the best practice guide http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/soa/soa-suite-best-practices/soa_best_practices_1013x_drop1.pdf
    ESB can be applied to just one node.
    Make sure that all your endpoints are pointing to the load balancer and not the actual node themselves.
    Also you connect string is different in your build.properties make sure of the following
    cluster = true
    oc4jinstancename = default_group
    local.oc4jinstancename = oc4j_soa (or the oc4j container with BPEL)
    esb
    deployer.uri=deployer:cluster:opmn://hostname:opmn port/default_group
