OSB features and capabilities

Dear OSB/SOA forum members,
Thank you for the forum. In short about myself, I’ve worked for close to a decade exclusively in Integration side with market leading COTS products. I’ve recently started to use OSB and hoping to learn and contribute in this forum.
To begin with, here are my questions for OSB specialists
1.     In SBConsole Proxy Service flow mediation, let us say we have 4 stages. For testing purpose can I disable a particular stage. I am looking for the equivalent of commenting out a section of java code or for someone familiar with webMethods suite, this is equivalent of disabling a flow step. Is it possible to disable a stage or a flow step? Otherwise we need to delete the stage/step if we want to test the flow without that step.
2.     Is there a way to trace through or incrementally step thru the service flow? For example let’s say a proxy service flow has 4 stages. Can I test the service running just stage 1 check for the results before I move on to run the stage 2?
3.     Where in SB Console we can find service run and history stats. For example, I want to see how many runs a particular service ran on a particular date?
4.     In case of a service failure, what is the option of saving the service data so it can be reprocessed at a later point?
Thanks and Regards

I understand services are stateless. Consider the case where a business partner sends a Purchase Order invoking receivePO proxy service. if the Order backend service or system is unavailable, you dont want to return a response to customer stating back end is not available. In traditional integration scenario, Integration systems store the PO in its own DB and allows for later reprocessing when the back end is available. I was wondering how this type of req would be accomplished in OSB.Multiple options
Option 1 (Simplest)
receivePOPx----->BS(Configure Retries and retry interval) --->order Backend
Theoretically retry interval should work for any interval (hours/days) but on the practical side I'm not sure (memory foot print if many requests come during the downtime for Order backend). Another shortcoming is, if OSB instance goes down for reasons, there is no way you can recover your PO automatically. OSB doesn't persist any of its runtime data for recovery. Almost all internal DS required are in-memory.
Option2 (Solves above persistent problem )
receivePO--->JMS BS---> JMS Q--->receivePOImpl--->BS(Configure Retries and retry interval) --->order Backend
In this option PO is persisted in JMS Q. Even if the OSB instance goes down and comes up, PO will be available.For this option we have to properly configure JMSQ for Retry and errorQ. receivePOImpl will retry for configured retries before putting the PO into ErrorQ. All the Un-processed PO will be persisted in ErrorQ and inprocess PO will be persisted in JMSQ.
Persisting in process PO in JMS is good and solves our problem to an extent. Probability of domain corruption should be taken into your risk analysis.Though it is rare, but still if domain crashed, then retrieving in process PO in JMSQ/ERRORQ is possible. I have no first hand experience on how to but know that it is possible. http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs100/notes/new.html#wp1065195 http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs100/cluster/service_migration.html .Weblogic server forums can help on how to retrieve messages from JMS q in a crashed/unusable domain.
Option3 (Solves above shortcoming of JMS )
receivePO--->BS(JCA-DB)--->Oracle--->PS(JCA-DB)--->BS--->order Backend
There is performance overhead we need to pay for persistence. Calling DB and polling on DB is costly interms of CPU/network but most stable of all the options.
Based on your risk valuation of your business process any of the above is possible option.
My two cents
Manoj

  • I want a new and more powerful (non-Apple) wireless router but I still want to use my existing Time Capsule to continue with my Time Machine backups and I still need the Time Capsule's Network Attached Storage (NAS) features and capabilities

    THE SHORTER STORY
    My goal is to successfully use my existing Time Capsule (TC) with a new and more powerful wireless router. I need a new and more powerful wireless router in order to reach a distant Denon a/v receiver that is physically located in a master bedroom some 50 feet away from my modem. I need to provide this Denon a/v receiver with an Internet connection so that it can obtain its firmware updates and I need to connect this Denon a/v receiver to my network in order to use its AirPlay feature. I believe l still need the TC's Network Attached Storage (NAS) features because I am not sure if the new wireless router will provide me with the NAS like features / capabilities I need to share files between my two Apple laptops with OS X 10.8.2. And I know that I absolutely need my TC's seamless integration with Apple's Time Machine (TM) application in order to continue to make effortless backups of my two Apple laptops. To my knowledge nothing works with TM like Apple's TC. I also need the hard disk storage space built into the TC.
    I cannot use a long wired Ethernet cable connection in this apartment and I cannot use power-line adapters. I have read that wireless range extenders and repeaters are difficult to successfully set-up and that they will reduce data speeds, especially so when incorrectly set-up. I cannot relocate my modem and/or primary base station wireless router.
    In short, I want to use my TC with my new and more powerful wireless router. I need to stop using the TC to connect to the modem. However, I still need the TC for seamless TM backups. I also need to use the TC's built in hard drive for storage. And I may still need the TC's NAS capabilities to share files wirelessly between laptops because I am assuming the new wireless router will not provide NAS capabilities for OS X 10.8.2 (products like this/non-Apple products rarely seem to work with OS X 10.8.2/Macs to provide NAS features and capabilities). Finally, I want to continue to use my Apple laptop and AirPlay to wirelessly access and play my iTunes music collection stored on the TC's hard drive. I also want to continue to use my Apple laptop, AirPlay and Apple TV to wirelessly watch movies and TV shows stored on the additional external hard drive connected to the TC via USB. Can someone please advise on how to set-up my new Asus wireless router with my existing TC in such a way to accomplish all of this?
    What is the best configuration or set-up to accomplish my above goals?
    Thank you in advance for your assistance!!!
    THE FULL STORY
    I live in an apartment building where my existing Time Capsule (TC) is located in my living room and serves many purposes. Specially, my TC is at least all of the following:
    (1) Wi-Fi router connected to Comcast Internet service via Motorola SB6121 cable modem - currently the TC is the Wi-Fi base station that connects to the modem and has the gateway address to the Internet. The TC now provides the DHCP service for the Wi-Fi network.
    (2) Wireless router providing Internet and Wi-Fi network access to several Wi-Fi clients - two Apple laptop computers, an iPod touch, an iPad and an iPhone all connect wirelessly to the Internet via the TC.
    (3) Wired Ethernet router providing Internet and Wi-Fi network access to three different devices - a Panasonic TV, LG Blu-Ray player and an Apple TV each use one of the three LAN ports on the back of the TC to gain access to the Internet.
    (4) Primary base station in my attempt to extend my wireless network to a distant (located far away) Denon a/v receiver requiring a wired Ethernet connection - In addition to the TC, which is my primary base station, I am also using a second extended Wi-Fi base station (a Netgear branded product) to wirelessly extend my WiFi network to a Denon receiver located in the master bedroom and requiring a wired Ethernet connection. I cannot use a wired Ethernet connection to continuously travel from the living room to the master bedroom. The distance is too great as I cannot effectively hide the Ethernet cable in this apartment.
    (5) Time Machine (TM) backup facilitator - I use my TC to wirelessly back-up two Apple laptops using Apple's Time Machine (TM) application. However, I ran out of storage space on my TC and therefore added external storage to it. Specifically, I added an external hard drive to my TC via the USB port on the back of the TC. I now use this added external hard drive connected to the TC via USB as the destination storage drive for my TM back-ups. I have partitioned the added external hard drive, and each of the several partitions all have enough storage space (e.g., each of the two partitions used by TM are sized at three times the hard drive space of each laptop, etc.). Everything works flawlessly.
    (6) Network Attached Storage (NAS) - In addition to using the TC's Network Attached Storage (NAS) capabilities to wirelessly back-up two Apple laptops via TM, I also store other additional files on both (A) the hard drive built into the TC and (B) the additional external hard drive connected to the TC via USB (there are additional separate partitions on this drive for these other additional and non-TM backup files).
    I use the TC's NAS feature with my Apple laptop and AirPlay to wirelessly access and play my iTunes music collection stored on the TC's hard drive. I also use my Apple laptop, AirPlay and Apple TV to wirelessly watch movies and TV shows stored on the additional external hard drive connected to the TC via USB. Again, everything works wirelessly and flawlessly. (Note: the Apple TV is connected to the network via Ethernet and a LAN port on the back of the TC).
    The issue I am having is when I try to listen to music via Apple's AirPlay in the master bedroom. This master bedroom is located at a distance of two rooms away from the TC's current location in the living room, which is a distance of about 50 feet. This apartment has a long rectangular floor plan where each room is connected to the next in a straight line. In order to use AirPlay in the master bedroom I am using a second extended Wi-Fi base station (a Netgear branded product) to wirelessly extend my WiFi network to a Denon receiver located in the master bedroom and requiring a wired Ethernet connection. This additional base station connects wirelessly to the WiFi network provided by my TC and then gives my Denon receiver the wired Ethernet connection it needs to use AirPlay. I have tried moving my iTunes music directly onto my laptop's hard drive, and then I used AirPlay on this same laptop to connect to the Denon receiver. I always get a successful connection and the song plays, but the problem is that the connection inevitably drops.
    I live in an apartment building and all of the many wireless routers in this building create a great deal of WiFi interference on both the 2.4 GHz and 5GHz bands. I have tried connecting the Netgear product to each the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, but neither band can successfully maintain a wireless connection between the TC and the Netgear product. I also attempted to maintain a wireless connection to an iPod touch using the 2.4 GHz band and AirPlay on this iPod touch to play music on the Denon receiver. Again, I was able to establish a connection and successfully play music, but after a few minutes the connection dropped and the music stopped playing. I therefore have concluded that I have a poor wireless connection in the master bedroom. I can establish a connection, but it is intermittent with frequent drops. I have verified this with both laptops by working in the master bedroom for an entire day on both laptops. The Internet connection in this master bedroom proved to drop out frequently - about once an hour with the laptops. The wireless connection and the frequency of its dropout are far worse with the iPod touch and an iPhone.
    I cannot relocate the TC. Also, this is an apartment and I therefore cannot extend the range of my network with Ethernet cable (I cannot drill through walls/ceilings, etc.). It is an old building with antiquated wiring and power-line adapters are not likely to function properly, nor can I spare the direct power outlet required with a power-line adapter. I simply need every outlet I can get and cannot afford to block any direct outlet.
    My solution is to use a more powerful wireless router. I found the ASUS RT-AC66U Dual-Band Wireless-AC1750 Gigabit Router which will likely provide a better connection to my wireless Internet in the master bedroom than the TC. The 802.11ac band of this Asus wireless router is totally useless to me, but based on what I have read I believe this router will provide a stronger connection at greater distances then my TC. And I will be ready for 802.11ac when it becomes more widely available.
    However, I still need to maintain the TC's ability to work seamlessly with TM to backup my two laptops. Also, I doubt the new Asus router will provide OS X 10.8.2 with NAS like features and capabilities. Therefore, I still would like to use the TC's NAS capabilities to share files on my network wirelessly assuming the Asus wireless router fails to provide this feature. I need a new and more powerful wireless router, but I need to maintain the TC's NAS features and seamless integration with TM. Finally, I want to continue to use my Apple laptop and AirPlay to wirelessly access and play my iTunes music collection stored on the TC's hard drive. I also want to continue to use my Apple laptop, AirPlay and Apple TV to wirelessly watch movies and TV shows stored on the additional external hard drive connected to the TC via USB. Can someone advise on how to set-up my existing TC with this new Asus wireless router in such a way to accomplish all of this?

    In regards to a Plan B, I hear ya brother. I am already on what feels like Plan Z. Getting WiFi to a far off room in an apartment building crowded with WiFi routers is a major pain.
    I am basing my thoughts on the potential of a new and more powerful router reaching the far off master bedroom based on positive reviews on cnet.com, pcmag.com and pcworld.com. All 3 of these web sites have reviewed the Asus RT-AC66U 802.11AC wireless router as well as its virtual twin cousin 802.11n router. What impressed me is that all 3 sites rated this router #1 overall in terms of both range and speed (in both the 802.11n and 802.11AC flavors). They tested the router in real world scenarios where the router needed to compete with a lot of other wireless routers. One of the sites even buried this Asus router in a media room with thick walls and inside a media cabinet. This Asus router should be able to serve my 2.4 GHz band wireless clients (iPod Touch and iPhone 4) with a 2.4GHz Wireless-N band offering some 50 feet of dependable range and a 60 Mbps throughput at that range. I am hoping that works, but it's borderline for my master bedroom. My 5 GHz wireless clients (laptops) will enjoy a 5GHz Wireless-N band offering 150 feet of range and a 200 Mbps throughput at that range. I have no idea what most of that stuff means, but I did also read that Asus could reach 300 feet and I got really excited. My mileage may vary of course and I'm sure I'm making some mistakes in my interpretation of their data. However, my Winter 2009 Time Capsule was rated by cnet.com to deliver real world performance of less than that, and 802.11AC may or may not be useful to me someday. But when this Asus arrives and provides anything other than an excellent and consistent wireless signal without drops in the master bedroom it's going right back!
    Your solution sounds great, but I have some questions. I'm using OS X 10.8.2 and Airport Utility (version 6.1 610.31) and on its third tab labeled "Wireless" the top option enables you to set "Network Mode" to either:
    Create a wireless network
    Extend a wireless network
    Off
    Given your advice to "Turn off the wireless on the TC," should I set Network Mode to Off? Sorry, I'm clueless in regards to how to turn off the wireless on the TC any other way. Can you provide specific steps on how to turn off the wireless on the TC? If what I wrote is correct then what should the rest of this Wireless tab look like, or perhaps it is irrelevant when wireless is off?
    Next, what do you mean by "Configure the TC in Bridge Mode?" Under Airports Utility's fourth tab labeled "Network" the top option "Router Mode" allows for either:
    DHCP and Nat
    DHCP Only
    Off (Bridge Mode)
    Is your advice to Configure the TC in Bridge Mode as simple as setting Router Mode to Off (Bridge Mode)? If yes, then what should the rest of this "Network" tab look like? Anything else involved in configuring the TC in Bridge Mode or is it really as simple as setting the Router Mode to "Off (Bridge Mode)"?
    How about the other tabs in Airport Utility, can they all stay as is assuming I use the same network name and password for the new Asus wireless router? Or do I need to make any other changes to the TC via Airport Utility?
    Finally, in regards to your Plan B suggestion. I agree. But do you have a Plan B for me? I would greatly appreciate any alternative you could provide. Specifically, if you needed a TC's Internet connection to reach a far off corner of your home how would you do it? In the master bedroom I need both a wired Ethernet connection for the Denon a/v receiver and wireless Internet connection for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
    Power-Line Adapters - High Cost, Blocks at Least One Wall Outlet and Does Not Solve the Wireless Need
    I actually like exactly one power-line adapter, which is the D-Link DHP-540 PowerLine AV 500 4-Port Gigabit Switch. This D-Link power-line adapter plugs into your wall outlet with a normal sized plug (regular standard power cord much like any other electronic device) instead of all of the other recommended power-line adapters that not only use at least one wall outlet but also often block the second outlet. You cannot use a power strip with a power-line adapter which is very impractical for me. And everything about my home is strange and upside down. The wiring here is a disaster and I don't have faith in its ability to carry Internet access from the living room to the master bedroom. And this D-Link power-line adapter costs $90 each and I need at least two to make the connection to the Denon A/V receiver. So, $180 on this solution and I still don't have a dependable drop free wireless connection in the master bedroom. The Denon might get its Ethernet Internet connection from the power-line adapter, but if I want to use an iPhone 4 or iPod Touch to stream AirPlay music to the Denon wirelessly (Pandora/iTunes, etc.) from the master bedroom the wireless connection will not be stable in there and I've already spent $190 on just the two power-line adapters needed.
    Extenders / Repeaters / Wirelessly Extending the Wireless Network
    I have also read great things about the Amped Wireless High Power Wireless-N 600mW Gigabit Dual Band Range Extender (Repeater) SR20000G and the My Net Wi-Fi Range Extender. The former is very powerful and the latter is easier to install. Both cost about $150 ish so similar to a new Asus router. However, everything I read about Range Extenders points to them not being very effective for a far off corner of your house wherein it's apparently hard to place the range extender in the sweet spot where it both gets a strong enough signal to actually effectively extend the wireless signal and otherwise does not reduce network throughput speeds to unacceptable speeds.
    Creating a Roaming Network By Hard Wiring with Ethernet Cable - Wife Would Say, "**** No!"
    Even Apple seems to warn against wirelessly extending your network (see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4145#) and otherwise strongly recommends a roaming network where Ethernet cable is used to connect two wireless base stations. However, I am in an apartment where stringing together two wireless base stations with Ethernet cable would have an extremely low wife acceptance factor (WAF). I cannot (both contractually and from a skill prospective) hide Ethernet wire in the walls or ceiling. And having visible Ethernet cable running from room-to-room would be unacceptable, especially to the wife.
    So what is left? Do you have a Plan B for me? Thanks in advance for your help!

  • One More Rant as to Fios features and "improvements"

    What kind of marketers does fios have that force their programmers to do such a horrid job?
    my wife and i got up this morning. beautiful sunny morning, warm for the first time. we turned on the tv, and saw a show we wanted, so i hit record... as she was getting ready for the day, i saw one that we could watch with breakfast. so i paused the movie, and we went to make breakfast... made it, came back, went to watch the movie, fast forward to its start.
    my wife then aks for the description of the movie... so you hit play, the menu comes up.. .
    it goes away too fast and so she asked me to display it again.
    i hit it, and now, for some screwed up reason, it throws me to on demand
    i dont want on demand. on demand cant pause, the play back is bad, when its bad you cant restart and move to where you were, you cant skip, and the list goes on on how horrible its implemented.
    but you dont have a choice.. your watching a movie from the beginig with full features, and now fios things you want to go to on demand to watch what your watching with reduced features... screwed up
    but, when we get back to the channel to see the movie... its now fast forwarded to current time, and fios has deleted the lead time so you cant go back
    in fact, fios does this alot... unlike directv, which says, if you save some movie time, dont delete it.
    fios says, if you save some movie time too bad, we know better, we will delete it, and peeve you off, then force you to a free on demand of the same movie wiht fewer features.
    but now... you go to the movie on demand, click the hd like you had and go to try to watch and what do you get? a completely unwatchable scrambled mess that cant play no matter how many times you try.
    so isnt that great... we have a wonderful morning.  save a bit of time to cook a great breakfast, sit down happy to watch, and voila... the fios programming is so horrid it ruins your morning...  you dont get to watch what you want, you lose what you have, your now **bleep** off at the DVR and you know that as long as your stuck on crap city dvr programming, your going to hae to deal with this oer and over
    the new feature to go watch what your already watching is insanely stupid and horrid..
    why does fios think that you want to stop what you are watching with longer pause time, ability to go back wards and forwards.. .which is critical to be able to get rid of the audio artifacts that constantly come up and scramble the voice.
    this is one reason my wife and i try to avoid watchnig on demand. it not only wont let you back up to get rid of the audio crud, but will lose your location... want to really have fun? watch a movie for an hour and a half be on the last 15 minutes, get audio artifacts scrambling the sound, and now you have to watch 1 and a half hours with commercials to get back to what you were just watching.. 
    oh joy
    not to mention another issue is that you pay for 75megs... and then fios takes the time to slowly move your speed down farther and farter unless you watch it and call and spend an hour getting what you paid for.... ie, their norm is to cheat you from what you pay for, to some lower rate and pocket the money.
    right now, i pay for 75, i get 50, and sometimes it drops to 30...
    why pay for 75, if you only get 50..
    why have to keep calling to stop them from cheating you? i earn money when not calling fios.. .
    and i know its a cheat as they never make a mistake in your favor.
    you never ever subscribe to 50 and accidently get 75.
    what a freaking mess..
    my wife and i are disussion paying more to get away from this horrid thing.
    and its been horrid this way for two years of our subscription
    the idea that the DVR delete time you have saved sucks big time.
    the fact your disk drive is too small to record everything so this doesnt happen sucks
    the fact that they replace commercials with stuff that is connected to google and facebook really sucks
    [i went online looked up some stuff and for months had to see the same commercial over and over for some scam options trading book i dont want, never wanted, was never interested in, etc... but i could not shut it off to see other commercials. even worse, they will do this after you buy the product in other cases. i was at work, needed to search for something, now that something my company purchased is unundating me with ads for something i already purchased!!!!]
    the idea that fios changes the operation of the DVR then blames you for not knowing the changes, or being used to how it is and you been using it for years...  
    all that stuff is completely annoying... as is having to get a pin number to log in every time as passwords dont work right. i had to create a diferent forum id, as the system would not let me log in with the one i have... so i have to reregeister to post most times...
    they would be the best company in the world if it wasnt for the idea that they leverage the great tech to mistreat their customers, give bad service, program the dvr with substandard choices of operation, cheat them out of bandwidth stealing time from their lives they wont get back to tell them to up it again..  (sorry, i am a programmer in researxh computing, its not hard to know how much bandwitth your delivering and compare that with the contract rate.  if i didnt pay my bill, you would harm my credit, my family, and future... but you get to cheat the customer out of bandwith they pay for, and what happens? nothing...
    of ourse this rant will go nowhere...   why should it?
    its not like they will refud me the money for bandwidth they didnt deliver (as i dont have the time to have some person who can barely program tell me to reboot hundred times and waste an hour before saying, its on our side. etc).
    its not like they will change dvr programming to presere what you want, and not dump it cause they want to
    the way i see it, the only reason for them to dump what your watching to see what your watching is so that they can fluff up the numbers on the on demand services when reporting growth to shareholders... ie. scamming the investors.
    there is no other real reason to have that other than scamming or incompetence. and neither are good... are they?
    dumping what people are watching for the same thing with less features cant be spun into a postive.. can it?
    thats it for now...
    rather than watch a movie this morning and being happy, we did not get to have that
    in fact, we are thinking why bother with a service that constistently changes a good day into a bad day as a NORMALcourse of business?
    [i have been a customer since their bell atlantic days... their tech is great, but this stuff really stinks and with their money and so forth, they could do a lot better... switching back to directv may be the only way to go as that dvr does not do the stupid horrid stuff that fios does, it preserves your shows, and overall, the software is much better, without any artifacts or scrambling all the time...
    i suspect that i will lose this online name again... why not?  they lost the other one and locked me out of that...

    There are settings you can change or disable for some of the issues you mention. you should go into the menu's settings and explore. Turn off promotions, etc..

    I deinstalled i-tunes and still the site only want to send me the i-turnes version of the audio file!!!
    I do not want to be constantly bothered by Kaspersky opening the green surround Internet Explore window and taking me to www.icloud.com.   I do not want to have web sites only offering to send me i-tune audio files.
    For both my I-pad Air and my I-pod Ver 5 I have gone into settings -icloud and gone to the bottom of the list and turned icloud off.
    My problem is in on my desktop PC.   I do not want to have Kaspersky generate the green surround window and take me to www.icloud.com.     
    Will someone PLEASE help me.  I so wish I had never installed Icloud.
    thank you.

  • I am not able to access the "featured" and "top charts" in the app store

    I am not able to access the "featured" and "top charts" icons in the app store.  Everything else works fine.

    Here I am using Java Type IV for database
    connection.
    So,there was no necessity of creating DNS.How your app communicates with db shouldn't matter for the end user. Still, you may want to use a functional network name also for the thin client driver connection string.
    So,is there any other way to solve this problem.What is the problem really? Do you not use dns for network naming? Maybe you have to manage the hosts file on every client then.

  • Firefox 5 has lost all my chrome tab's and capabilities which came with 4? how do I un install 5 and get back to my version 4?

    firefox 5 has lost all my chrome tab's and capabilities which came with FF4? how do I un install 5 and get back to my version 4 & retain all my bookmarks at least I's also like to retrieve my Chrome capabilities as well?

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

  • Newest Belle features and changes for E6?

    Hello!
    I have E6-00 and I still have Anna on it. I'm afraid to upgrade to Belle because I haven't found many people with good experiences on it :/ 
    I think E6 is great mobile phone but it's really sad that a proper OS for it doesn't exist.
    Can anybody tell me when was the last update for Belle and also its features and improvements because I'm considering upgrading. Is it possible now to have a smaller email widget or at least more than one on each desktop? Does Nimbuzz work on it? Skype? How notifications look like?...
    Thanks

    As it was already said in other threads, this has nothing to do with Nokia. Anyone can post on that website !

  • Best practice for OSB, OER and OSR

    Hi,
    I would like to know what are the best practices for using OSB, OER and OSR together in a run-time environment for a simple WSDL service.
    From how I see it:
    1) Create service-definition in OER
    2) Create proxy and business service in OSB
    3) Use harvester to harvest the proxy and business services in OER
    4) Use Exchange Utility to publish the proxy service to OSR
    Then the client and discover the proxy service and use OSB for invoking the operations from service.
    Kindly correct me where I am wrong.
    Some questions:
    1) Do we ever publish business service to OSR? Or is it only meant for proxy services?
    2) Is synching of OSB and OSR only meant when we are not using OER?
    Looking forward...

    Hi Anuj,
    Thanks for the links, they have been helpful.
    I understand now that OSR is only meant to contain only Proxy services. The synch facility is between OSR and OSB so that in case when you are not using OER, you can publish Proxy services to OSR from OSB. What I didn't understand was why there was a option to publish a Proxy service back to OSB and why it ended up as a Business service. From the link you provided, it mentioned that this case is for multi-domain OSBs, where one OSB wants to use the other OSB's service. It is clear now.
    Some more questions:
    1) In the design-time, in OER no Endpoints are generated for Proxy services. Then how do we publish our design-time services to OSR for testing purposes? What is the correct way of doing this?
    Thanks,
    Umar

  • Seeking recommendations for handling large binary documents with security(preferable) for inbound and outbound scenarios from OSB- SOA and SOA- OSB

    Hi,
    I am currently working on a project with the following requirements
    1. Client transfers binary document (between 1-20MB in size) from OSB proxy to SOA composite to Content Management system
    2. Client retrieves binary document (between 1-20MB in size) from Content Management system to SOA composite to OSB proxy
    In otherwords, a inbound and outbound integration.
    What I have tried so far and my results:
    Scenario A
    1. Enabled MTOM on SOA composite by attaching wsmtom policy
    2. Created an OSB business service and consumed the SOA composite application
    3. Enabled MTOM on OSB proxy and business service and configured it to pass by reference
    Scenario B
    1. Enabled MTOM and security on SOA composite by attaching wsmtom policy and SAML policy
    2. Created an OSB business service and consumed the SOA composite application
    3. Enabled MTOM on OSB proxy and business service and configured it to pass by reference
    I have a demo integration setup that writes a binary document to a file using the above steps. My SOA composite has a file adapter that writes the binary data to an external file and it is exposed as a web service with a simple WSDL definition that has an inline XSD schema with an single element of base64binary type. I have added a mediator that maps this base64binary element node to the file adapter's input node.
    Result for Scenario A with file size less than 1 MB:
    Flawless execution with sub-second response times
    Result for Scenario A with file size of 8MB
    First attempt: SOA composite faults with database transaction related error, solved by increasing JTA timeout
    Second attempt: Flawless execution, but file transfer took over 100 seconds to complete. This is very poor performance and my suspicions are that this cannot be the expected behaviour, but I dont know the internal workings of the SOA composite and why its taking this long.
    Result for Scenario B:
    The OSB business service does not accept/recognize the SAML policy in the WSDL and suggests to configure OWSM policies manually, but OWSM policy in OSB does not have the wsmtom policy. Regardless of this, any permutation of MTOM + WSS security in this integration scenario either did not work outright or MTOM optimization was not happening ie binary data was materalizing in the message body.
    I have only about 3 weeks left to implement a viable solution and the closest ive come to a solution is Scenario A but that +100 second response time for an 8MB file is really worrying.
    I would appreciate any level of guidance, recommendations or suggestions as to how I go about tackling this problem.
    Thanks
    regards,
    Johnny

    I think this is due to the underlying mechanism of weblogic classloading..
    You can contact oracle support @ https://support.oracle.com to report issues. Roughly this is the process .
    1- get the Oracle Customer Support Identifier (CSI) for the client you are working for.
    2- Create a user profile quoting the CSI. This will send an approval request to oracle support admins at your client.
    3- Get the oracle support admins at your client site to approve your request for support access.
    4-Once they approve , you can access the support site and raise service requests.
