OSB Calling Async Service

hi all,
We have a requirement to call an external async service from OSB. Can anyone please point to the recommended approach.
I have looked at the below example, but this talks about 'soa-transport', where as we are more interested in 'http' transport as this is an external web service. Can we follow the same approach for our use-case as well?
http://www.xenta.nl/blog/2010/03/23/oracle-service-bus-invoke-asynchronous-webservices/
We are using FMW PS4 throughout.
Regards,
Krishna

Krishna,
You are referring to the right link - http://www.xenta.nl/blog/2010/03/23/oracle-service-bus-invoke-asynchronous-webservices/
You may implement async WS call in OSB by following the approach mentioned here.

OSB called stateful service & extracting Set-Cookie Transport header

I need to call a Stateful Web service which returns a JSessionId (Set-Cookie) which I need to use to subsequent service calls. In my message flow, a service callout calls a web service which returns a JSessionId which is part of the Transport Header. I need to extract this value into a variable and use it to call a couple of other web service calls using Service callouts. I have tried numerous things listed below but failed
1)     In the service callout Response actions, I have added a Transport header to capture this into a variable but in vain
2)     Added a Transport header in the Response action on the main pipeline
3)     Used Inbound variable to extract however it turns up empty.
any useful ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

When you call the external service it returns a SessionID in the header?
If that is the case then test the service from sbconsole debug console and in the invocation trace check the value of $inbound variable within the context of service callout and check if external service has actually added a transport header for session ID.

[OSB] - Calling REST Service - POST action

Hi,
I have a requirement to invoke a REST full service to pass on the processed XML message. I know OSB supports both calls via Proxy and Business services. I have tested it with HTTP and it works. However, my server side REST service is to be invoked/called over HTTPS.
Request you to please let me know what I need to look for while implementing this requirement. Any help in this case will be appreciated. Thanks.
Regards.

Please refer - for Post implementation

How to call business service from xquery transformation in OSB ??

Hi All,
How to call business service from xquery transformation in OSB ??
I need to assign the response variable of Business Service to a target element in XQuery Transformation Mapper file.
It's urgent.
Regards,
Jyoti Nayak

Transformation is to mapping the source and target of 2 different schemas.
In your case you should have a XQuery transformation between, your Business Service output schema and the target schema.
Thanks,

OSB call multiple Business Services and combine the responses into one

Dear All,
I am new to OSB and I have a use case that I need to solve. I have 3 web services and I imported their WSDLs into OSB and created 3 Business Services that goes with each WSDL. The scenario is like this.
Business Service 1: takes an input value as [Region] and returns a list of employee names.
Business Service 2: takes the list of employee names and returns the list of employee names with their job profile
Business Service 3: takes the list of employee names with their job profile and returns their contact information.
I need to return the result of Business Service 3 to the consumer. The consumer basically need to call the Proxy service with [Region] as the input value and the result should be the output of above Business service 3.
As I mentioned, I have WSDL for all the 3 Business Services, but, I do not have the WSDL for the Proxy Service. The Business Service WSDLs are all different and they do not match.
My question is it possible to achieve the above result without having a concrete WSDL for Proxy Service? Also, how can I go about solving this use case. I have gone through some articles that talk about Split-Join, and am really lost.
I really appreciate your kind reply on this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Syama

You have multiple options:
1. Create a WSDL which has input similar to input of WS1 (only Region as input) and an output similar to output of WS3.
Create Proxy Service based on this WSDL. Then call all the thee business services one after the other and doing transformations/assigns as needed after each call. Finally map the result of BS3 to the similar output of your new WSDL on which the Proxy service is based.
2. Create an Any XML type of web service. Create a schema which has two elements, one for input and one for output. Input containing only Region and output containing all the details. All consumers need to send request according to input defined in schema and expect output defined in schema. Its similar to creating the WSDL but can be used in case your consumer do not want to call a Web Service but want to call an XML API over HTTP. Rest will be same as option 1.
Split join is needed to make calls in parallel, it wont be usable in your use case unless you expect a list og regions in the same request for each of which you need to gather same information by calling three services.

How to call https service from OSB

hi
I need to call thirt party https service. Its a secured service with authentication.
I have Imported ssl certificate in keystore.
It's one way ssl with authentication and I need to pass wsse token (username/password) from Business service to invoke third party service.
What steps do I need to follow to call this service?
I have gone through all other
Thanks
Vibhor

Below note gives the high level steps to be performed for implementing different security requirements with OSB
OSB - Proxy Service HTTPS one way
Configure Identity & Trust Keystore
OSB - Proxy Service HTTPS 2 way
Configure Identity Assertion Provider to support X509
Configure user mapper class for default identity assertion provider
Change 2 way Client Cert behaviour from default
('Client Certificate Not requested”) to “Client Certificate requested but not enforced”
OSB - Business Service HTTPS one way
Add root & intermediate CA certificates of the server to the trust keystore
OSB - Business Service HTTPS 2 way
Add root & intermediate CA certificates of the server to the trust keystore
Configure PKI Credential Provider containing the client certificate
Configure a Service Key provider with SSL Client Authentication key
Associate the service key provider to the proxy service which invokes the business service
OSB - Proxy Service WS-Security User Name Token
Configure Auth.xml or custom username token WS-Security Policy
OSB - Proxy Service WS-Security X509 Token
Configure Auth.xml and Sign.xml Policy
Change UseX509ForIdentity attribute in domain → WS Security → Inbound Mbean Token handlers Page to true
Ensure Certificate passed by client is present in certificate registry or the root CA in trust keystore depending upon weblogic certification path provider configuration
Configure Identity Assertion Provider and Username mapper class.
OSB - Business Service WS-Security User Name Token
Configure Auth or custom username token WS-Security Policy
Configure Service account for username provider
OSB - Business Service WS-Security X509 Token
Configure Sign.xml and Auth.xml policy ( or custom signing and username token policies) in the business service
Configure a PKI credential provider and service key provider containing the certificate to be used for signing and authentication
Associate the service key provider to the proxy service which invokes the business service.
*OSB - Proxy Service Digital Signature     [ Request Only]*
Configure Sign.xml or a custom signing policy to the proxy service
Ensure Certificate passed by client is present in certificate registry or the root CA in trust keystore depending upon weblogic certification path provider configuration
*OSB – Business Service Digital Signature     [ Request Only]*
Configure Sign.xml policy ( or custom signing policy) in the business service
Configure a PKI credential provider and service key provider containing the certificate to be used for signing
Associate the service key provider to the proxy service which invokes the business service.

Is it possible to call an async service from OAG?

Hello,
How do we call an async service (with delayed service) from OAG?
Regards,
ET

Hi,
Unless you are using a queue system like ActiveMQ or IBM MQ with JMS the only option is to extend the time-out against the service which is nothing I really recommend.
Otherwise you have to build some support for polling the service but this involves change in client and server.
Cheers,
Stefan

How to pass a xml CDATA in string element when OSB calling a webservice?

How to pass a xml CDATA in string element when OSB calling a webservice?
I have a business service (biz) that route to operation of a webservice.
A example of request to this webservice legacy:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:eg="example">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<ex:execute>
<ex:arg><![CDATA[<searchCustomerByDocumentNumber>
<documentNumber>12345678909</documentNumber>
</searchCustomerByDocumentNumber>]]></ex:arg>
</ex:execute>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
the type of ex:arg is a string.
How to pass this CDATA structure to webservice in OSB?

Steps to solve this problem:
1. Create a XML Schema. E.g.:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
     elementFormDefault="unqualified">
     <xs:complexType name="searchCustomerByDocumentNumber">
          <xs:sequence>
               <xs:element name="documentNumber" minOccurs="0">
                    <xs:annotation>
                         <xs:documentation>
                         </xs:documentation>
                    </xs:annotation>
                    <xs:simpleType>
                         <xs:restriction base="xs:string" />
                    </xs:simpleType>
               </xs:element>
     </xs:sequence>
     </xs:complexType>
     <xs:element name="searchCustomerByDocumentNumber" type="searchCustomerByDocumentNumber"></xs:element>
</xs:schema>
With this XSD, the XML can be generate:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<searchCustomerByDocumentNumber xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="searchCustomerByDocumentNumber.xsd">
<documentNumber>documentNumber</documentNumber>
</searchCustomerByDocumentNumber>
2. Create a XQuery to create a searchCustomerByDocumentNumber ComplexType. E.g.:
(:: pragma bea:global-element-return element="searchCustomerByDocumentNumber" location="searchCustomerByDocumentNumber.xsd" ::)
declare namespace xf = "http://tempuri.org/NovoSia/CreateSearchCustomerByDocumentNumber/";
declare function xf:CreateSearchCustomerByDocumentNumber($documentNumber as xs:string)
as element(searchCustomerByDocumentNumber) {
<searchCustomerByDocumentNumber>
<documentNumber>{ $documentNumber }</documentNumber>
</searchCustomerByDocumentNumber>
declare variable $documentNumber as xs:string external;
xf:CreateSearchCustomerByDocumentNumber($documentNumber)
3. In your stage in pipeline proxy add a assign calling the XQuery created passing the document number of your payload.
Assign to a variable (e.g.: called searchCustomerByDocumentNumberRequest)
4. Create another XQuery Transformation (XQ) to create a request to the webservice legacy. E.g.:
<ex:arg>{fn-bea:serialize($searchCustomerByDocumentNumberRequest)}</ex:arg>
For more information about xquery serialize function:
41.2.6 fn-bea:serialize()
You can use the fn-bea:serialize() function if you need to represent an XML document as a string instead of as an XML element. For example, you may want to exchange an XML document through an EJB interface and the EJB method takes String as argument. The function has the following signature:
fn-bea:serialize($input as item()) as xs:string

the type of ex:arg is a string.
How to receive this CDATA structure to webservice in OSB?

Similiar to the answer How to pass a xml CDATA in string element when OSB calling a webservice?
Use the xquery function fn-bea:inlinedXML rather than fn-ben:serialize
Steps to solve this problem:
1. Create a XML Schema. E.g.:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
elementFormDefault="unqualified">
<xs:complexType name="searchCustomerByDocumentNumberResponse">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="name" minOccurs="0">
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation>
</xs:documentation>
</xs:annotation>
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:string" />
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:element name="searchCustomerByDocumentNumberResponse" type="searchCustomerByDocumentNumberResponse"></xs:element>
</xs:schema>
2. Create a XQuery to create a searchCustomerByDocumentNumber ComplexType. E.g.:
3. Create a XQuery Transformation (XQ) to get the CDATA response to the webservice legacy. E.g.:
declare namespace ns0 = "novosiaws";
declare function xf:getReponse($searchCustomerByDocumentNumberResponse as element(ns0:searchCustomerByDocumentNumberResponse))
as element(searchCustomerByDocumentNumberResponse) {
fn-bea:inlinedXML($searchCustomerByDocumentNumberResponse/ns0:arg)
For more information about xquery function:
fn-bea:inlinedXML
The fn-bea:inlinedXML() function parses textual XML and returns an instance of the XQuery 1.0 Data Model.
The function has the following signature:
fn-bea:inlinedXML($text as xs:string) as node()*
where $text is the textual XML to parse.
Examples:
fn-bea:inlinedXML(“<e>text</e>”) returns element “e”.
fn-bea:inlinedXML(“<?xml version=”1.0”><e>text</e>”) returns a document with root element “e”.

OSB calling BPM with SAML

Hi all
I have a composite service in my PBM server which has security WS-Policy forcing a SAML token to be passed together with the request (oracle/wss10_saml_token_with_message_protection_service_policy - method should be sender-vouches).
In OSB, when I try to create my business service pointing to the WSDL with SAML, I receive this error (environment is 11g):
*[OSB Kernel:398133]WSSP 1.2 policy assertions (Web Services Security Policy 1.2) are not allowed on this service*
So what is the right way to make an OSB call to a BPEL/BPM SAML-protected service? Do i need to install OWSM on the same server as OSB and use the same policies?
When I tested OSB proxy service calling a another OSB PS protected with SAML, I was able to add to the SAML WSDL this policy and it worked fine.
+<wsp:Policy+

But on BPEL/BPM side, I have only a pre-defined set of policies and no matter what I chose I can't create my Business service based on that.
Please, need some advice here.

Parallel Flow invokes async services with incorrect parameters

Hi
I'm calling an async service using 2 partnerlinks in a parallel flow.
The input variables are being assigned correctly but one of the invokes is using the wrong values.
The problem appears to be around the use of a shared variable (Invoke_initiate_InputVariable) that is 'copied' to each of the invoke variables
On invocation both services are iincorrectly nvoked with:
<Invoke_initiate_InputVariable>
     <part xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" name="payload">
          <HumanTaskProcessRequest xmlns="http://itv.com/HumanTask">
               <Production/>
               <HumanTask>
                    <Title>Title2</Title>
                    <Priority>2</Priority>
                    <UserGroups>STC</UserGroups>
               </HumanTask>
          </HumanTaskProcessRequest>
     </part>
</Invoke_initiate_InputVariable>
I can get the process to work if I remove all references to the variable Invoke_initiate_InputVariable - can anyone explain this behaviour?

Catching and rethrowing a SOAP Fault from an OSB 11g Proxy service

Hello,
We have a chain of proxy services (that last one of which calls a business service) in our 11.1.1.6 OSB project. At one of the lower levels, we successfully throw a fault like this:
<soapenv:Body xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Fault xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
    <soap:faultcode>SOAP-ENV:Client</soap:faultcode>
    <soap:faultstring>Non-Existent User</soap:faultstring>
    <soap:faultActor>Client who consumed this Web Service operation</soap:faultActor>
    <soap:detail>
      <sc:UserNonExistentFault xmlns:sc="http://xmlns.sc.com/Services/V1">
        <sc:CustomerNumber>12345</sc:CustomerNumber>
      </sc:UserNonExistentFault>
    </soap:detail>
</soap:Fault>
</soapenv:Body>
In the proxy service which calls this proxy service, I tried to catch this fault in an Error Handler so that I could confirm that it's available for me to re-throw back up the chain. Curiously, the proxy service which calls that proxy service cannot see that fault. But rather it sees what appears to be an OSB-overridden fault:
<con:fault xmlns:con="http://www.bea.com/wli/sb/context">
<con:errorCode>BEA-380000</con:errorCode>
<con:reason>com.bea.wli.sb.pipeline.PipelineException</con:reason>
<con:details>
    <err:ErrorResponseDetail xmlns:err="http://www.bea.com/wli/sb/errors">
      <err:response-metadata xsi:type="sb:SBResponseMetaDataXML" xmlns:sb="http://www.bea.com/wli/sb/transports/sb" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
        <tran:headers xsi:type="sb:SBResponseHeadersXML" xmlns:tran="http://www.bea.com/wli/sb/transports"/>
        <tran:response-code xmlns:tran="http://www.bea.com/wli/sb/transports">1</tran:response-code>
        <tran:encoding xmlns:tran="http://www.bea.com/wli/sb/transports">utf-8</tran:encoding>
      </err:response-metadata>
    </err:ErrorResponseDetail>
</con:details>
<con:location>
    <con:node>PipelinePairNode</con:node>
    <con:pipeline>PipelinePairNode_request</con:pipeline>
    <con:stage>GetCustomerByNumber</con:stage>
    <con:path>request-pipeline</con:path>
</con:location>
</con:fault>
I have tried printing out the values of $body, $fault, $outbound and $inbound from the calling proxy service's Error Handler just to see if our <sc:UserNonExistentFault> is nested anywhere therein. Unfortunately, it is nowhere to be found.
How can we force OSB to NOT override our faults with OSB-framework faults and, instead, just throw our custom fault all the way up the chain and back to the consumer?
Thank you,
Michael

I think I figured this out.
In proxyService-2, build the <soap:Fault> and assign it to the body, then Reply with Failure (as you mentioned above).
When proxyService-1 receives this, it will still be in the $body variable. But the $fault variable is now populated with a BEA-38000 error. It seems that as long as the $fault variable has data in it, then the OSB system will throw that instead of my fault (ignoring the <soap:Fault> I put into the body).
So what I did was to Delete the $fault variable in the error handler of proxyService-1, then Reply with Failure (again).
It would seem as if the inner workings of OSB has some logic like:
if $fault is not null, throw the BEA-####### fault. Otherwise, return the contents of the $body.
By removing the fault, I effectively got to that "else/otherwise" condition.
Of course, the Reply with Failure is still needed to ensure that an HTTP 500 error is passed with the fault (per the SOAP specification).
Cheers!

OSB: Configuring business service for JMS Queue

Hi,
I want to produce messages into a JMS queue from OSB proxy service. I have created business service for the JMS queue. I also want to return Status code=200, Status Messgae=Success if the message is successfully inserted into the Queue. Kindly let me know how to do this.
I tried using Service Callout to call the business service but it is not allowing me to use it because my business service is a one-way operation. So, i tried with Publish activity but my doubt is how and where to configure request payload for the publish activity. I could not find any.
And how do i know if the message is successfully inserted so that i can send the Status=200 back to the calling proxy service.
Kindly help in this regard.
Thanks in advance.

As suggested, use QoS=ExactlyOnce as RoutingOption within the Publish to business service. If there was any error it will send the flow to error handler where you can do a reply with failure to return HTTP status code=500 to the caller of the proxy service.
If you do a reply with success the caller will receive HTTP status code=200

OSB calling Tuxedo Not transactional?

I have a web service with methods in it that calls OSB services (which I have configured to call Tuxedo services exposed through the WTC). However, my calls don't seem to be transactional... is there a way to conifgure OSB to be transactional when calling Tuxedo services exposed through WTC?

Let me describe how I am calling these Tuxedo services...
1. Import/expose Tuxedo service via WTC...
2. Create an OSB business service bound to one of the imported services
3. Create an OSB proxy service that creates a route that calls the business service created in #2, pretty simple, no transformations done
4. Create a web service front end that calls the proxy created in #3
So, everything seems to work using #1-4, except of course the non-transactional issue. So, to fix this what I attempted to do was to replace the value of the outbound qualityOfService variable from "best-effort" to "exactly-once". To do this I modified #3 to add a replace message processing action to modify the quality of service attribute to "exactly-once". I got this working (looks like it's modifying the request going into the business service), but still no luck having the Tuxedo side of things to be transactional. Maybe I'm still not doing something properly...?
Here is the request getting passed into my business service from the proxy:
Route to: "InsertBusNotesBS"
$outbound:
<con:endpoint name="BusinessService$TuxedoOSB$BusinessServices$InsertBusNotesBS" xmlns:con="http://www.bea.com/wli/sb/context">
<con:service/>
<con:transport>
<con:mode>request-response</con:mode>
<con:qualityOfService>exactly-once</con:qualityOfService>
<con:request xsi:type="tux:TuxedoRequestMetaData" xmlns:tux="http://www.bea.com/wli/sb/transports/tuxedo" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

OSB: reporting via service callout & reporting execution times

Assume I made a common local service for a general report action and it's called from all inbound proxy services. At the moment all I see is in the report database is: inbound service uri: LocalProxy and inbound service name: <my local report service name>. How can I log the original service instead which was called?
An other question: is it possible to report the execution time of the service call into the database as well? I'd prefer having two measures: service execution time from the inbound proxy service until it leaves the ESB with the response; and the called business service execution time.

It was discussed here before: Re: How to call a OSB proxy service from a different OSB process?
Search forum to get more inputs.

OSB out-of-box monitoring capabilities are not enough?

If you want to log execution time of every single call, try searching forum again.
