OSB and SOA Suite on same home

Hi,
Which version of Oracle Service Bus can be installed on existing middleware home?
The target platform is - Oracle SOA Suite + Oracle service Bus. My assumption is it should be possible to "share" same m/w home (WLS10.3.5) between SOA Suite and OSB.
I am using SOA 11g (11.1.1.5.0) and WLS10.3.5
Please suggest.
regards,
Anand

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 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.

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 -

OSB and SOA Suite VISIO Stencils

I am putting together some stencils to model my OSB / SOA Suite solution....
This one is REALLY cool, it contains very specific component icons, although I wish it contained more JEE specific terminology
http://www.soapatterns.com/SOA_Visio_Stencil.zip
This one is very abstract, anyway a few components can be really useful:
http://www.eaipatterns.com/download/EIP_Visio_stencil.zip
I am also experimenting externalizing the shapes data into an Excel sheet, and linking to the shapes.
As far as possible I would like to keep a strict inventory of all the artifacts created in OSB/SOA Suite, and keep them in sync with the documentation.
I wonder what your experience is, and if you have other tools to recommend?

OSB to SOA suite package not forming correctly

Setup is as follows:
AIX 5.3 on the box, 10 gigs ram, installation of the latest releases of OSB and SOA suite on top of weblogic. I've built out a couple of simple database queries in BPEL based off wsdls, dropped them on to the SOA suite server, used EM to open a test console and plugged in some search data. Search returns successfully.
I then open up OSB's console, create a business service to the endpoint on the soa server, and a proxy based off the same wsdl used in the BPEL construction which I then route to the business service. Both service and proxy are made with basic http for the protocol (not sure how to use the sb protocol, and not sure if that will fix the problem). Load the test console on the proxy service, which displays an xml form similar to what is used in the SOA suite. Fill out the same information, but the invoke returns BEA-380000. Following the invocation trace in OSB everything looks good in terms of package content.
Wondering if it might simply be a problem with how the OSB interprets XML from a wsdl, I piped the XML from the SOA suite into the OSB's xml field, but to no luck, same error. After some more testing and frustration,I put the SOA suite XML straight in to the form field in the OSB test console, and it worked. However, the package itself seems oddly formed, consisting of:
<soapenv:Envelope      xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
     <soap:Header      xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
     </soap:Header>
     <soapenv:Body>
     <soap:Envelope      xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
     <soap:Header/>
Which I've been told is basically double wrapping the package, which shouldn't work, and more importantly wont be generated when someone uses say SOAPUI to access our service on the OSB.
Now, on the SOA suite side of things. In EM console, I navigate to my BPEL process and can see the faults caused by the OSB. The same faults are also generated when binding to the OSB's endpoint with SOAPUI, but not when going directly to the SOA suite's endpoint. The error is the following:
oracle.j2ee.ws.saaj.soap.SOAPVersionMismatchException: Mime Header Content-Type: text/xml requires SOAP envelope namespace: http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/: Mime Header Content-Type: text/xml requires SOAP envelope namespace: http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/
And the payload sent shows as empty.
So to my best uneducated guess, it looks like the OSB wraps the payload in an envelope, and then unwraps it before handing it to the SOA suite, which expects the payload to be wrapped. Sadly, I'm still pretty new to the wsdl/webservice/oracle world, so I'm not even sure if that's an accurate representation. Any insight on what might be happening or how to get OSB to talk with SOA suite correctly would be greatly appreciated. Included below are the XML payloads I've used (minus a bit for confidentiality reasons). Apologies if the formatting doesn't work so nice for it.

Problem solved. When I originally created my business service inside of OSB, I created it based off an endpoint provided by the SOA server. Instead, I went and did a mass import from a url, pointed it at the SOA server wsdl, and then built the web service off of that wsdl resource in the OSB. Now it works like a charm.

OSB vs SOA suite

What is difference and relationship between OSB and SOA suite?
I see much much overlap between the two.
1.DB adapter, mq adapter, file adapter, app adapter,etc, exist in oracle service bus 10.3.1.Also SOA suite 11g has all theses components.
2.OSB is a WL domain in running time, SOA suite is also a WL domain in running time.
The difference is OSB does not support BPEL but SOA suite does.
Seems most of things done by OSB can also been done by SOA suite.
In what scenario we should use OSB and in what scenario we should use SOA suite instead?
Can someone give some helps on this?
Thanks

OSB is like the name says a 'Service Bus' and the soa suite is a suite of components which can be used to create a service oriented architecture. In this suite there isn't and service bus available for you.
So both products complement each other.
It's true most actions can be done in both the products/suites, but you should see them both in 1 total solution. After that decide what you design in the osb and what you design in the soa suite components.
if you check wikipedia for the definition of a service bus, you will see what the strengths are (or should be), some line virtualization/transformation/routing/etc.
from my point of view i would say, you create your interface on the service bus, keep the flows in the service bus lightweigh, and route to the 'real' services. These could be modelled in the soa suite components, and in there do the business logic

OSB to SOA Suite communication

Hi,
We have an OSB cluster and SOA Suite cluster, spread over multiple servers (either physical or virtual) where each OSB managed server is on the same underlying O/S server as a corresponding SOA Suite managed server. A hardware load balancer will be used to expose an endpoint to service consumers. The load balancer will then distribute requests to either of the OSB managed servers.
My question is should the communication between the OSB managed servers be load balanced (and distrubuted) to the SOA Suite managed servers or should each OSB managed server speak locally to the corresponding SOA Suite managed server ?
My concern is that load balancing to SOA Suite introduces complexity without solving a resiliency problem (assuming a config over 4+ O/S servers), whereas local and direct communication keeps it simple in terms of logfile traceability and optimal performance (i.e. not going out on the netowrk again). I can see that in the event of a SOA Suite managed server going down or failing, you have to have a protective measure to ensure that requests to it's parent OSB managed server are stopped. This would need to be implemented at the OSB load balancer level.
I'm interested to understand what other people have done in this situation or if I'm missing some insight that would influence wither way.
TIA

Assuming OSB and SOA servers are always in pairs hosted in the same machine, there's a high probability that if one is down, both will be down... Makes sense...

This would need to be implemented at the OSB load balancer level.Well, try to go around in the event of the half break, i.e. OSB up and SOA down, will be complex... I think here is a matter of assess the risk of that happening, the impacts and the effort needed to mitigate the impact versus the advantages you mentioned (logfile traceability and optimal performance)... How good are those advantages and would they really pay the effort/risk?
Hope this helps...

SOA Suite 10g and SOA Suite 11g? what are the major changes in these two?

Hi Experts,
I am keen in knowing about Soa Suite 11g. SOA Suite 10g and SOA Suite 11g, BPEL changes? what are the major changes in these two product/tool wise? Is now OSB is part of Soa Suite 11g? it would be helpful for us to know what are the major changes and updates or modifications came in 11g.
Please share this valuable information.
Is there still any version is in progress from Oracle, which is yet to be officially launched from oracle?

what are the major changes in these two product/tool wise? Few major changes to enlist are that SOA suite 10g was using Oracle Application Server (OC4J) however 11g is on Weblogic and 11g is based on SCA. B2B is now part of SOA suite itself and OSB can share a domain with SOA. You may refer below link to know few more -
http://blogs.oracle.com/soabpm/2010/03/11gr1_patchset_2_111130_soa_fe.html
Is now OSB is part of Soa Suite 11g? OSB has a separate installer but can share a domain with SOA and SOA-direct binding is also supported now. Refer below link to know more about new features in OSB 11g -

Can I install two versions of SOA suite using same Oracle database

Condition:
I installed Weblogic server(10.3.5) and SOA Suite(11.1.1.5), and
I used RCU 11.1.1.5 to create the schemas(Oracle DB 11g-111170) for it.
Plan:
Now I plan to install another Weblogic server(10.3.6) and SOA Suite (11.1.1.6)
and I will used RCU 11.1.1.6 to create the schemas for it.
Question:
Can I use same database(Oracle DB 11g-111170) for the two versions of SOA Suite? that is
Can I Run the RCU 11.1.1.6 to create the schemas for SOA Suite (11.1.1.6) on the oracle database server I already used for SOA Suite 11.1.1.5?
If I can use same database for the two versions of SOA Suite, how can I resolve schame name conflict?

Hi
1. YES. You can absolutely use SAME DB to have multiple Versions of SOA Schemas.
2. Any SOA/BPM will need basically 4/5 schemas like SOAINFRA, MDS, ORABAM, ORASDPM etc. based on what you choose. And each of these Schemas can be Prefixed. Default prefix is like DEV, so schemas are like DEV_SOAINFRA, DEV_MDS etc
3. Very Simple. When you Run RCU 11.6 and give the same old db details, in next screen it will automatically show the new Prefix for the schemas it will create. If DEV is used, it will show DEV1 like that. So just choose a Different Prefix and you are good to go.
I have the same thing on my side. Single Database. Multiple RCU for SOA 11.5 and SOA 11.6 with different Prefixes:
SOA 11.5 -> DEV115_SOAINFRA, DEV115_MDS, DEV115_ORABAM etc
SOA 11.6 -> DEV116_SOAINFRA, DEV116_MDS, DEV116_ORABAM etc
I Used the Prefixes like DEV115, DEV116 so that I know exactly which version of RCU schema they refer to.
For QC, UAT, PROD we used prefixes like QC_*, UAT_*, PROD_* etc.
NOTE: When you drop the schemas for some reason, make sure to give the appropriate prefixes so that only they are dropped and not others.
Thanks

Oracle WebLogic Integration's Custom Control and SOA Suite Spring Component

I crated this thread to inform users about some issues with the
Oracle WebLogic Integration's Custom Control and SOA Suite Spring Component

http://www.oracle.com/technology/architect/soa-suite-series/wli_custom_control_spring_component.html
- Fig. 6 doesn't agree with what's just above. This step isn't necessary because it can be create automatically when you make a class.
- Fig. 11 shows the package
sample.oracle.otn.soaessentials.javainteg
and the class should be placed in
sample.oracle.otn.soaessentials.javainteg.impl
- The Business Tier -> Spring 2.5 might not be available. Extensions steps steps should be given.
- Fig. 15 When lgger-context is created in Jdev 11.1.1.3.0 the Spring context is created in
/mywork/SOASuiteWLIEssentials/JavaIntegration/src/META-INF
while in the sample project it is in
/mywork/SOASuiteWLIEssentials/JavaIntegration
- Fig 18 has incorrect class name.
- Fig 19 is incorrect: there is no Spring 2.5 SCA in Jdev 11.1.1.3.0; there is only WebLogic SCA. Where is the canvas mentioned above?
- Fig 28 logger-context.xml is not where it is displayed in the fig. It is /src/Meta-Inf/.
- Most of the fig from the deployment are not up to date.

Difference between SOA Suite 64 Bit and SOA Suite 32 Bit

Hi,
I am new to SOA. I want to install SOA Suite 64 Bit on my laptop which 64 Bit system and has Window 8 64 Bit.
I am curious to know that what is the difference between SOA Suite 64 Bit and SOA Suite 32 Bit.
Are there different installations available for 64 Bit and 32 Bit?
Or
Installations are same for 64 Bit and 32 Bit but it's only depends on whether JDK is 64 Bit or 32 Bit.
Thanks,
Prashant Jain

Hi Anatoli,
Thank you for your quick response. I really appreciate it.
I can download the latest SOA Suite but still I am curious to know that how can I use the same SOA Suite which I have as 64 Bit.
Steps may be,
1. Install JDK 64 Bit.
2. Install the same weblogic with -D64 option.
3. Install the rest of the software (most probably downloaded for Window 32 Bit not for generic 64 Bit).
Will this make SOA Suite installation 64 Bit? Apologize if I am keep asking silly questions
Thanks,
Prashant Jain

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.
