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.

  • 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.

  • Difference between Oracle BPEL PM and SOA server suite

    Dear Experts,
    Right now I am having JDeveloper 10.1.3.4 & Oracle BPEL PM Server 10.1.3.1 with me. Is that two enough to build Business Rules Engine with BPEL process & Human Task Also I having very big question that
    Oracle BPEL PM Server and SOA server suite are same or different.
    Bcoz, right now I'm have installed only Oracle BPEL PM server.. I didn't see or have SOA server suite.
    http://localhost:9700/BPEL/console --------> BPEL console
    http://localhost:9700/em ---------> BPEL Enterprise Manager or SOA Enterprise Manager
    Please suggest me.
    Thanks,
    Rajesh

    Hi Rajesh,
    1--> Right now I am having JDeveloper 10.1.3.4 & Oracle BPEL PM Server 10.1.3.1 with me. Is that two enough to build Business Rules Engine with BPEL process & Human Task.
    No, Oracle Business Rules is part of Application Server and as such is installed with SOA Suite. Though with your current Jdev and BPEL PM you can build BPEL Process with Human Task.
    2--> Oracle BPEL PM Server and SOA server suite are same or different.
    Oracle SOA Suite is a set of tools ( BPEL PM, Oracle Service Bus, Business Rules, CEP, BAM, Oracle Web Services Manager and Jdeveloper).
    Oracle BPEL PM is just a component for Orchestration of WebServices.

  • Do I need to set  system env variables for weblogic and SOA server installation?

    Hi All,
       I already have two weblogic application servers on my machine(that were installed by others).
    I observed some environment variables were also set in System variables(ORACLE_HOME,WEB_SERVER_HOME etc) section in Env variables section(Start Menu---> Computer --> properties ---).But why do we need to have system environment variables wherein we already have those variables in files like setDomainEnv.bat or/and setSOADoaminEnv.bat for each server.
    And one more thing system variables will be applicable for all servers(the whole machine) right.It may spoil the installation of new servers and present servers as variables should be unique to each server.

    So Can I remove the existing system variables(as they will applicable for every server) and install weblogic and SOA server installation without setting up the environment variables?
    Especially I have multiple Weblogic servers,In that case how it would be to have environment variables(JAVA_HOME,WL_HOME,ORACLE_HOME etc)?

  • SOA real-time design question

    Hi All,
    We are currently working with SOA Suite 11.1.1.4. I have a SOA application requirement to receive real-time feed for six data tables from an external third party. The implementation consists of five one-way operations in the WSDL to populate the six database tables.
    I have a design question. The organization plans to use this data across various departments which requires to replicate or supply the data to other internal databases.
    In my understanding there are two options
    1) Within the SOA application fork the data hitting the web-service to different databases.
    My concern with this approach is what if organizations keep coming with such requests and I keep forking and supplying multiple internal databases with the same data. This feed has to be real-time, too much forking with impact the performance and create unwanted dependencies for this critical link for data supply.2) I could tell other internal projects to get the data from the populated main database.
    My concern here is that firstly the data is pushed into this database flat without any constraints and it is difficult to query to get specific data. This design has been purposely put in place to facilitate real-time performance.Also asking every internal projects to get data from main database will affect its performance.
    Please suggest which approach should I take (advantage/disadvantage. Apart from the above two solutions, is there any other recommended solution to mitigate the risks. This link between our organization and external party is somewhat like a lifeline for BAU, so certainly don't want to create more dependencies and overhead.
    Thanks

    I had tried implementing the JMS publisher/subscriber pattern before, unfortunately I experienced performance was not so good compared to the directly writing to the db adapter. I feel the organization SOA infrastructure is not setup correctly to cope with the number of messages coming through from external third party. Our current setup consists of three WebLogic Servers (Admin, SOA, BAM) all running on only 8GB physical RAM on one machine. Is there Oracle guideline for setting up infrastructure for a SOA application receiving roughly 600000 messages a day. I am using SOA 11.1.1.4. JMS publisher/subscriber pattern just does not cope and I see significant performance lag after few hours of running. The JMS server used was WebLogic JMS
    Thanks

  • Coherence, OSB and SOA integration

    Hi,
    I have a WL domain, that consists on a SOA cluster and a OSB cluster. I want to have external cache servers, as it is the preferred option provided by Oracle, so I have external processes which starts a cache, loads data from database, and create a Coherence cluster.
    I have tried different options for deployment and havinfg issues with all of them.
    In my domain (FMW 11.1.1.6), I have not deployed the coherence libs, as they are included in the server modules. I start the external process, which points to the coherence lib in FMW_MODULES, and load everything. So far so good. When I start the managed servers for OSB cluster and SOA clusters I get a lot of errors, like:
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No scheme for cache: "/soa-infra/deployment/members/mydomain_development_soa_cluster"
    I don't know if I should create different coherence clusters, one for my apps, and one for built in OSB+SOA functionality, or I could use the same. If I use the same, where should I put cache configurations, and where can I see built in cache definitions.
    If I should create a new cluster for my functionality, how could I do it, knowing that I will not be bundling only J2EE apps, but also global libraries, and security providers using these coherence infrastructure.
    Do I need activecache for anything?
    Documentation is not very clear.
    Thanks for your support.

    Thanks for your support.Hi,
    Oracle SOA Suite 11g leverages an embedded Coherence cache to coordinate several cluster-wide activities including composite deployment. Coherence cache-config is pre-defined for SOA Cluster, and all SOA composite application will inherit this. This cache-config is zipped in fabric-runtime.jar with the name of soa-coherence-cache-config.xml and tangosol-coherence-override.xml is also included in fabric-runtime.jar that enforces SOA server to use soa-coherence-cache-config.xml. Now you have 2 options to make it work,
    1) Make managed servers join the external Coherence cluster as storage-disabled nodes: In order to accomplish it, you need to ensure that the configuration (soa-coherence-cache-config.xml and tangosol-coherence-override.xml) used by cache servers are same as used by SOA Suite(except, storage flag). Also, note that you need to merge your cache server configuration into soa-coherence-cache-config.xml because SOA Suite requires all the caches that are predefined in soa-coherence-cache-config.xml and reference this merged configuration file in you cache server and also in SOA cluster by modifying tangosol-coherence-override.xml
    2) Managed Servers access the Coherence cluster as extend clients: In order to accomplish it, modify soa-coherence-cache-config.xml and add remote-scheme to access the external Coherence cluster. You need to ensure that you provide a tangosol-coherence-override.xml to your cache servers so that they form a seperate cluster and not try joining the SOA Suite cluster.
    You are getting the error:
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No scheme for cache: "/soa-infra/deployment/members/mydomain_development_soa_cluster"Your coherence cluster is using the same multicast ip/port for this cluster as used by the SOA Coherence cluster on startup but a different configuration file is used by your Coherence cluster than soa-coherence-cache-config.xml.
    Try following option1 and it should help solve your problem.
    Please note, modifying fabric-runtime.jar is not recommended by Product Management and is just a work around. Also, I would suggest you to understand licensing from Oracle Sales Rep.
    Hope this helps!

  • Running OSB and SOA Suite as Windows Services?  Node Manager

    Hi,
    Based on our current hardware configuration, we need to deploy our SOA Managed Server and Admin Server on the same machine as our OSB. Currently for development we just start the servers using the start scripts and keep a window open for them (3 of them: 1 - admin, 1 - soa_server1, and 1 - OSB.) We want to be able to run these as services and allow the admins to log out of the box. It seems like the Node Manager would allow us to do that but can we configure our Windows server to have a Node Manager running for the OSB and another for the SOA stuff on the same box? Do we even need to do that? Can we have a single Node Manager manage all three on port 5556?
    I hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance for any quick responses.
    Jeremy

    Definitely you can (should) have a single node manager. You may refer below links -

  • Header and Item table - Form Design Question

    Hi All,
    I have a header table and Item table. For every record in the header table I have multiple records in the item table. I want to have a adobe form in the following way
    1. A new page starts for every record in the header table and Items in the item table for this header record can span multiple pages with the same header information.
    2. When all the items are displayed for that particular header record, a new page should start for the next header record.
    I created one internal table in the following way
    Header_field1 Header_field2 Item_table(with all the items for this header record)
    Header_field1 Header_field2 Item_table(with all the items for this header record)
    I am not sure how to use a table for this scenario (Should It be a nested table?).
    Please provide me some ideas.
    Thanks,

    Hi Balasubramani,
    I made some changes and have the following now. Can you please let me know how I can achieve page break for every BP_NUMBER.
    I have a nested table like the one below.
    Main table u2013 Has header and Items information. Every header record has some header information like BP number, name and all line items for that BP in a nested table .
    IT_HEADER:
    BP_NUMBER     BP_NAME           IT_ITEMS(Items table)
    BP_NUMBER     BP_NAME           IT_ITEMS
    BP_NUMBER     BP_NAME           IT_ITEMS
    To display this information I created the following
    Subform1 u2013 overflow u2013bound to $record.IT_HEADER.DATA[*] u2013 (Repeat sub form for
    |                                             each data item)
    |->Header sub form u2013 Positioned
    |     |
    |     |-> Text Field u2013 bound to BP_NUMBER
    |
    |
    |->Item sub form -
         |     
         |->Item Table u2013 bound to IT_ITEMS
              |
              |->Data u2013 bound to IT_ITEMS.DATA[*] u2013(Repeat row for each data item)
    In the output BP number in the first record of IT_HEADER gets displayed and then all the Item records in IT_ITEMS for that BP get displayed. This is repeated all the records in IT_HEADER which is perfectly fine.
    Please provide me some suggestions to solve the following issues I am having
    1.     I need a page break between records of IT_HEADER. I want the new subform1 for the next header record to start in a new page. I tried conditional break option, on the only field BP number in header sub form. I have two master pages and two body pages. All the above information is in master page 2 and body page 2.  I am also not sure what to select in the TO section of the conditional break screen.
    2.     When there is an overflow in IT_ITEMS I need the Header sub form to be shown in the next page too.
    Thanks,
    Ganesh.

  • SOA OSB Single Managed Server Why?

    I am trying to understand why the option exists to run OSB and SOA in the same managed server (same jvm). Can someone answer this question for me please? I inherited a SOA/OSB server and the previous administrator has taken this approach. I have not been able to find any documentation on the subject, it is briefly mentioned in the OSB install guide but with out explanation as to why someone would want to do this http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e15017/configure_osb.htm#BGBDGGBE
    Thanks

    Troubleshooting Interoperability Between OSB and SOA Suite 10g and 11gR1 [ID 1267207.1]
    Should OSB and SOA Suite Run in one single JVM?
    To run OSB and SOA Suite in one single JVM, i.e. one single WebLogic Server instance, is very handsome for scenarios that only have low load and low memory requirements. For these development or test systems, OSB and SOA Suite can be set up to run in one of the following topologies:
    Both OSB and SOA Suite in one single Admin Server (supported in 11.1.1.4 and upwards).
    In a domain with one Admin Server and one single, non-clustered managed server to run OSB and SOA Suite on it (supported in 11.1.1.3 and upwards).
    However, this is only recommended and supported for development or test environments.
