OSB or Oracle ESB????

Hi all..
We know that oracle has two service bus's OSB and Oracle ESB....i heard in future releases of SOA Suite OSB gonna replace Oracle ESB..and
Oracle ESB will behave something as mediator...Can someone explan wats the oracle statergy regarding these two products in future...also
wch is best OSB or Oracle ESB...can someone throw light on this.

Oracle ESB’s primary mission was
to provide service mediation and application integration capabilities to SOA
composite application developers. This use-case can be described as “in-line
mediation” since it is used for transformation, routing and event delivery inside of
what is logically a composite application.
Oracle Service Bus on the other
hand focused on solving the operations and scalability problems in a standalone
service bus. Here the use-cases that it focused on were those of service
virtualization, on-ramping and aggregation of external services and gateway
functionality.
By combining the respective strengths of Oracle ESB and AquaLogic Service Bus(Now OSB)
in the Oracle SOA Suite platform, Oracle will enable all the common ESB usecases
and provide unmatched flexibility and functional capabilities.
The Mediator(OESB/ESB) is an intra-composite mediation component that is
deployed within an application. It is responsible for brokering
communications between components that make up a composite, enabling
transformation, routing, event delivery and payload validation inside the
composite. The main users of the Mediator are application developers
assembling multiple components into a composite application which can
be deployed, versioned and managed as a single deployment unit (all based
on the SCA, or Service Component Architecture, standard). This is the
component that all the Oracle Fusion Applications are leveraging, as well
as AIA – the Oracle Application Integration Architecture. Oracle ESB
seamlessly evolves into the Mediator in the 11gR1 release.
The Oracle Service Bus provides standalone service bus capabilities,
enabling separation of concerns between application developers and target
systems or services. The main users of the Oracle Service Bus are
integration developers and operations personnel. Their mission is to shield
application developers from changes in the endpoint services or systems
and to prevent those systems from being overloaded with requests from
upstream applications. In the 10g and 11g releases, the Oracle Service Bus
will also be augmented with key features from the current Oracle ESB,
such as domain-value-map, cross-references, JCA adapters and a
JDeveloper-based design-time. The Oracle Service Bus is based on
Aqualogic Service Bus, with the incorporation of some of the advanced
features from the Oracle SOA platform.

Oracle ESB and OSB confusion

Hi All,
I am using SOA suite 11g. I have confusion with Oracle Enterprise Service Bus and Oracle Service Bus
1> Is ESB and OSB same ? If not, then from where do i download Oracle ESB ? and what would it do different from OSB (*I already downloaded OSB and was able to deploy and run one of SOA application. Also, I have SOA server instance running on my weblogic server as well.* If I have OSB, is it necessary to download Oracle ESB as well ?
2> I have seen couple of job requirements that just mentions--- ESB experience required Do they mean Oracle Enterprise Service Bus experience ?
3> SOA/Bpel application developed using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.2 can be deployed to any third party service bus (including IBM and Mule) ? OR it will only run in Oracle service bus. ? This question is just like for example --- developing standard JSR 168 portlet that you can deploy on any third party portal server.
thanks,
pp

If you are using 11g SOA Suite there is no, Oracle Enterprise Service Bus, it has now been renamed as Mediator. Mediator is now part of the composite.
To answer your questions.
1. No they are not the same but they can perform similar functions. Oracle ESB is 10g and is part of the 10g 10.1.3.1 install which is found on OTN, not sure you can get the standalone version without raising a SR you may find it on eDelivery.oracle.com. If you have OSB installed there is no requirement to have Oracle ESB as OSB will perform everything Oracle ESB does, (apart from domain values maps, but this can be done in BPEL)
2. ESB is a generic term and does not mean it is Oracle, as there are many ESB out there. I would say OSB if it is an Oracle job, but you may need to know both. If you know mediator you will know Oracle ESB so you don't need to download.
3. You don't deploy SOA/BPEL into a service bus. They are deployed to and application server where SOA Suite is deployed. At this time SOA Suite is only certified with Oracle Web Logic but other app servers will be coming. Having said that your SOA/BPEL application can consume services on other application servers as long as the WSDL and endpoint are accessible from the your SOA Suite machine. They will be treated as web services. The JSR168 standard means that if your portal solution is JSR168 compliant then you can consume JSR168 portlets, these portlets can be deployed on any 3rd party app server.

Oracle OSB versus Fuse ESB ?

Hello,
I have to build a new architecture based on an ESB.
There is a wide range of ESB development tools and the choice is not easy.
I cannot decide between OSB and Fuse ESB, but Fuse ESB is an open source tool, so it is an advantage.
So I would like to know why should I use OSB instead of Fuse ESB ? What are its strength compared to Fuse ESB ?
Thanks for your help.
Best regards.
JC

My two cents.
Open Source is an advantage. Yes, I agree with it. But I would have my doubts about the support that it provides. My apologies here, I have not used Fuse, so that might not be true.
Based on the Forrester Report on ESB (And it's safe to assume they have done extensive research on this), OSB scores over Fuse, but not by much. So it really depends if you want to have Apache foundation or Oracle foundation.

Oracle ESB and Mediator

Hi,
I am evaluating many ESB products and Oracle is one of them, I have installed fusion middleware 11g and managed to configure it along with Jdeveloper requirements, but the bad news were that 11g does not support Oracle ESB yet and it supports the “Mediator” which is light version of ESB, could anyone please comment on this, is that’s right and is it ok to use Mediator instead on Oracle ESB, knowing that we need a robust heavy transactional ESB with many adapters to be supported.
Thanks,

Time Delay when Initiating BPEL from Oracle ESB

Hi there,
I am currently working with a client who have an on-going integration project. They are using the BPEL and Oracle ESB components of the Oracle SOA Suite 10.1.3.3.1. There is an issue that periodically occurs.
The scenario that we are occasionally getting is as follows:
The ESB is used to Poll for business events in a SQL Server database. Business Events are just information that needs to trigger a process occuring. The ESB has a DB Adapter that POLLS for these events. The ESB simply listens for these events, when one occurs it transforms the incoming message and invokes a Synchonous BPEL process that processes the message. Periodically in their environment, when the ESB DB Poller picks up a message, there seems to be a significant time frame between picking up the message and invoking BPEL. This has been anything upto 90 minutes. For Example messgae picked up 1t 12.30pm and the BPEL instance starts at 2.00pm. This issue seems to be uncreatable. Has anyone experienced similar issues or has any advice regarding this?
Any assistance / advise would be appreciated
Dave

Hi Ruplim
Thanks for quick response,
I want to Invoke ESB service from BPEL and get the Response Back in the form of Transformation Data.
I tried searching for Demo example in tutorials but i am not able to find such case, Do you have any documentation or Sample code for this type?
Thanks & regards

I need some simple examples to start with for Oracle ESB

Hi All,
Please share some simple examples to startwith for Oracle ESB.
I need to understand, what are the files are created, once created an ESB project.
What is the use of the files how to edit them with out using JDeveloper.
Iam trying to create a simple example.
I would like to create a file which has only "HELLO" in that file, simple text file inside a folder "INPUT" in my c:\ drive.
I wanted to create a ESB service which picks up the file and add a string to it like "HELLO" + "ESB" and drop this file into "OUTPUT" folder in c:\ drive.
How do i do that. I tried to do it when i deploy the integration server connection is gettting hit badly. I dont see that connection any more and i dont see that connection in my JDeveloper.
I dont want to start with existing code.
Please help
Regards,
Vijay.B

Hi,
If you want to do it from scratch you can basically do the following:
Make sure you have created an application server and integration server connection in JDeveloper.
1) Create a new JDeveloper project of type ESB project.
2) Possibly add a ESB System/Group (open the esb file and click "Create System/Group") to group ESB projects.
3) Create an XML schema describing your input XML file. Probably one element of type xsd:string.
4) Create an example XML file which is well-formed and valid according to the XSD from step 3.
5) Create a new File adapter (inbound/read). A routing service is automatically created.
6) Create a new File adapter (outbound/write).
7) Create a routing rule in the routing service in which you invoke the write method of the outbound file adapter. Possibly add a transformation using the XSL mapper.
8) Deploy the ESB project to the server.
9) Drop your XML file (from step 4) in the directory in which the inbound file adapter is polling.
10) If it is ok, the file should be picked up, transformed and dropped in the outbound directory. A new ESB instance should be visible in the ESB console.
See what files are generated on the filesystem in each of the above steps.

How to deploy a POJO or a java application in oracle ESB?

hi,
I m beginner in oracle ESB.
please someone tell me how to deploy a POJO or a java application in oracle ESB?
thank you.
Peter.

The short answer is "you wouldn't"
The long answer is that you would expose your Java Application or POJO as a Web Service then virtualise it through the ESB.

Unable to Create FTP Adapter + Oracle ESB

Hi,
Following is the scenario in Oracle ESB:-------
I created one FILE Adapter for reading file from directory and FTP Adapter to put that file to FTP site in Oracle ESB.
When i checked in the ESB console File was getting picked up by the FILE ADAPTER but unable to put on the FTP Site.
Could any one please tell me what should i suppose to enter in the field of "Directory for Outgoing Files (physical path):" and what should i select "Physical Path" OR "logical path" i.e in STEP 4
I have given all access to FTP site i.e READ/WRITE
Following is the error message i am getting in Oracle ESB Console for the same....
Could any one please suggest some thing???

Oracle ESB - Message routing support & content based routing

Hi Friends,
Can anyone please let me know how message routing and content based routing is happening in Oracle ESB.

Oracle ESB

Hi,
I need small help reg oracle ESB, Actually we are working on oracle ESB we are using Web Services. we are sending requesting through routing service to soap service, then we are getting response from from soap service to routingservice, I need to take the response object and send to 4 different databases. How can we do in oracle ESB, I though we can do that using adapter service, can you guys help me how to that.
Thanks
Vyas

From that response you need to create another routing service. The xsd should be the same as the response of the XSD/WSDL.
In the new routing service you can put filtering on certain fields to choose which database to send it to. If you don't put on a filter the data will be sent to all databases.
have a look at the ESB tutorial. There is a good example there on how to acheive this.

How to integrate GRC10.1 and Oracle ESB(Enterprise Service Bus)

Dear，
we are delivering an GRC Access Control project.
Now, we need to integrate GRC10.1 and Oracle ESB, how should we do? Who could help show me some guide, thanks a lot.

deepak - why not link to the real documentation instead of that site that illegally publishes stuff?
Krasimir - I had a look at this a long way back, and didn't explore it much further because I reached a dead end in trying to figure out how it worked. It seems to me that the function is there and may be used internally within Oracle, but that it's not documented well enough for we mere mortals of the public to use it.
Have you tried opening an SR with Support? They won't know, but they will be able to raise it up and perhaps find someone who does know - be sure to reference this thread in your SR if you go that route.

Integration SAP ERP & SAP Sourcing through Oracle ESB

Hello,
Currently I am working on architecture design for new implementation of SAP Sourcing 10.
Obviously we are going to face integration aspects between SAP ERP & SAP Sourcing (Material, Vendor Master etc..).
As the the main integration platform in client's architecture is Oracle ESB, I wonder if we can use it instead of SAP PI. Client is not even considering new installation of SAP PI for integrating ERP & Sourcing, although the SAP documentation clearly states SAP PI is a mandatory component.
Do you think we can do it with Oracle ESB? Obviously assuming a greater effort than it would take with SAP PI.
As ERP <-> Sourcing scenarios base on RFC, IDOC, File, HTTP - I would say yes at first thought (as Oracle ESB is capable of communication in these protocols). But is anyone with such experience? Are there any other limitations that should be considered?
Regards,
Tomasz Gałdyś

Hi Tomasz,
All of the Integration Content is built for PI. Hopefully someone that has done this with Oracle ESB will respond but I think there will be significantly more work as the integration that is delivered is all done with PI in mind. Some customers have decided to go ahead with PI so that they could take advantage of the standard integration.

Oracle ESB header handler

We want to perform Authentication/Authorization in Oracle ESB (10.1.3.4) for all our business processes that are invoked from the UX. If user has proper
credentials, the credentials will be passed in the SOAP header, then only we want business operation to be invoked. Is there any way to write a custom java header handler/interceptor to perform this action? In case the authentication fails we want to return an exception to the client.
Any help is appreciated.

Have anyone used rejectedMessageHandlers for Oracle ESB 10.1.3.1---urgent

Hi,
I am using rejectedMessageHandlers property for Oracle ESB(10.1.3.1).
I am reading data from a file and writing out the data into another file.I need to implement the following scenario:-
If it enconters some error in the structure of the file or encountered any error while reading the source file then it will generate a file dumping the error message and the payload.
For this I have used an endpoing property in "DefaultSystem_Read_RejectionHandler.esbsvc" (the esbsvc file for the File Adapter service for source file).
*<endpointProperties>*
*<property name="rejectedMessageHandlers" value="file://C:/jdevstudio10133/jdev/mywork/RejectionHandler/ESBRejectionHandler/reject"/>*
*</endpointProperties>*
But the file that is getting generated is "INVALID_MSG_null_Read_20081229_064024_0117.dat" with no data in it.
Can I use the property rejectedMessageHandlers for version 10.1.3.1 for Oracle ESB?Did anyone tried it out?
Can anyone also guide me with links or docs regarding usage of RejectedMessageHandler for Oracle ESB and Oracle BPEL.
thanks
