OSB to ALSB migration

I have created sbconfig jar using OSB console. Can i import the same sbconfig jar in alsb 2.6 env? Does it support backward compatibility?
Please help..

Not sure there is any pathway to migrate OSB to ALSB. Moreover latest release of ALSB is 3.0 so definitely there would be problems in importing an OSB jar into LSB 2.6
Does it support backward compatibility?Yes, it is backward compatible but it means that ALSB 2.6 configuration can be upgraded to OSB and not vice-versa. Please refer -

OSB or ALSB direct call to DB

How can we establish direct connection from ALSB/ OSB layer to database, without using any service class/ orchestration layer? It should use TCP/IP.
Pls suggest for both old version (9.x - ALSB) and latest version (OSB)
thanks in adv.
-V

You could use the Xquery function - fn-bea:execute-sql() from OSB/ALSB:
fn-bea:execute-sql(
'ds.myJDBCDataSource',
xs:QName('customer'),
'SELECT targetService FROM DISPATCH_MAPPING WHERE customer_priority=?',
xs:string($body/m:Request/m:customer_pri/text())
More examples here:

OSB (ALSB) to implement a Resequencer? (EIP Pattern)

Hello *,
has somebody ever tried to implement using OSB (BEA ALSB) the Resequencer EIP Pattern (Hohpe, Woolf)?
http://www.enterpriseintegrationpatterns.com/Resequencer.html
Generally I wonder how the OSB product concept maps to the EIP Patterns. Are there some guidelines for scenarios like Splitter/Aggregator , Enricher/Filter, etc.?
my customer want's to implement at least the Resequence and Splitter. Any tips are very welcome here!!
grtx,
\thomas

Hi Thomas,
Depending on your exact requirement for your Resequencer you may be able to use the underlying WebLogic JMS Unit of Order to get this. Read more here:
http://download-llnw.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11035_01/wls100/jms/uoo.html
With regards the other patterns, OSB supports all the ones you mention:
Splitter/Aggregator - use the split/join functionality described here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13159_01/osb/docs10gr3/userguide/splitjoin.html
Enricher - this can be achieved in a number of ways depending on where you are getting your enrichment data from. Service callouts allow you to invoke a service from within the proxy message flow, Java callouts allows you to implement Java code, and there is an XQuery function to allow you to read content from a database (note in the next release of OSB we will have support for the Oracle database adapter and so will have richer functionality here)
Filter - again this depends on the exact requirement but there are a number of options here including routing tables, if/then capability, operational branching, etc.
Hope that is useful.

OSB Security Error

Hi,
I'm currently working on a migration of an old ALSB to a new OSB.
In migrating the services I encountered a problem in trying to secure a service.
I get a SOAP fault: "unable to validate the identity assertions" when testing with SOAPUI
Does anyone have an idea where I can look for a solution?
Thank you in advance.
T

honestly I know little about security, one day I will learn inshallah
does this OSB 10gR3 - Process WS-Security flag not working with PasswordDigest give you any clues? They seem to have exactly your problem, and they seem to have found the solution...

What are the differences between ESB 10g and OSB 10g

Hi,
I'm newbie to OSB 10g. I have installed OSB 10g.
I came to know after Oracle acquired BEA, the ALSB is renamed as OSB.
I'm curious to know what are the differences between ESB and OSB.
If there are many differences, please post any links which provide the required information in detail.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Udaya

the 'old' esb has been renamed to mediator and is now only used as component in your sca application.
the two service buses can't really be compared since the osb (former alsb) has way more functionality in it.
Oracle gave it it's own place in his soa portfolio and the old esb can only be used als mediator in your sca application.
On top of your sca application you could use the OSB to complete your architecture design.
the difference between both.
esb (now used as mediator) can only be used in your sca application
in here you will use it mostly for routing/transformation, and there is some functionality for assign/java callouts conditional routing
the osb is complete product with a lot of functionality in it. Everything you used the old 'esb' for can be done in the OSB and with a lot of extra's.
routing/transformation/service call outs/java callouts/transport virtualization/security/and more and more
you should read the guides of the OSB to get an idea of everything it can do for you.

Test framework for OSB

Is there anything similar as the Test Suites in BPEL described here
http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/07-nov/o67bpel.html
for the OSB (formerly ALSB)??
We are looking at some way to execute test cases for OSB flows just like you can in JDev for BPEL.
thanks

OSB does not have anything like "TestSuite" you described in above link. But some part of the use case can be accomplished by test console http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13159_01/osb/docs10gr3/consolehelp/testing.html#wp1052410. The testing can be done using Workshop for OSB (similar to JDEV for BPEL) http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13159_01/osb/docs10gr3/eclipsehelp/tasks.html#wp1151352. Even though documentation talks about split-join, the same can be applied to any Proxy/Business Service

Implementing data lookup in ALSB

Hi,
I have an xml message which is similar to one below:
<Reference name="Old Edition" sourceClassName="PROD_STATUS_CLASS" sourceInstanceID="14" sourceSystem="ABC">
          <hasRefExtent sourceClassName="PROD_STATUS_CLASS" sourceInstanceID="14|$|OED" sourceSystem="ABC">
               <ExtName>PHUOPS_ABRV</ExtName>
               <ExtType>ProdStatus</ExtType>
               <ExtValue>OED</ExtValue>
          </hasRefExtent>
          <hasRefExtent sourceClassName="PROD_STATUS_CLASS" sourceInstanceID="14|$|01-SEP-00" sourceSystem="ABC">
               <ExtName>PROD_STATSUS_ABBRV</ExtName>
               <ExtType>ProdStatus</ExtType>
               <ExtValue>01-SEP-00</ExtValue>
          </hasRefExtent>
          <referenceID>14</referenceID>
          <referenceType>ProdStatus</referenceType>
     </Reference>
There are many such reference blocks in incoming message.I need to create an xquery transformation wherein for each value in <ExtName>, a looked up is required in database/property file and corresponding value has to be mapped on target side. My questions are:
1. Is it possible to perform lookup in ALSB at the time of xquery transformation and map values dynamically?There is a possibility that we may receive 100 such blocks.
2. If yes,what are the various options available in ALSB to perform lookup? Can we use java callout and read property file? How about looking up using DB tables?
Thanks.
Arti

1. I have never used it personally, but you may find fn-bea:execute-sql() function useful:
http://download-llnw.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13159_01/osb/docs10gr3/userguide/xquery.html#wp1101465
2. You can use java callout and read property file. You can also use brand new JCA adapter to access your database.
http://download-llnw.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13159_01/osb/docs10gr3/jcatransport/transport.html
I don't know your use case details, but I would consider completely different approach, because java callout seems to me too heavy and accessing database from OSB (former ALSB) is just silly (against SOA principles).
If it is possible for you, you can read your database data using proper service callout and prepare the <ExtName> "mapping" before your xquery transformation takes place. In other words, you can prepare kind of "hashmap" in the following form:
<mapping>
<entry>
    <ExtName>e1</ExtName>
    <value>v1</value>
</entry>
<entry>
    <ExtName>e2</ExtName>
    <value>v2</value>
</entry>
</mapping>Then you can possibly use this variable in your xquery transformation as a source for lookups. Of course, this approach needs a reasonable size of mapping which also should be easily computable from your database data.

OSB Invoking ILOG or External Rules Engine

Hello,
Can OSB invoke ILOG or any external Rules engine ?
Can ALSB do the same ?
If OSB cannot directly invoke, do we need the support of BPEL which has the decision service and OSB invoke the decision service. Kindly help.
Thanks

Yes, both OSB and ALSB can invoke JRules, it's just another web service...

Compare Routing action versus Service Callout action versus Publish action?

hi all,
Apologies if this is a stupid question, but i throw my hands up and admit my ignorance (I'm mainly a core Java developer; OSB/ALSB is kind of a sideline for me). That said...
I've used OSB (actually ALSB) on a couple SOA projects within the last 3 years. on my previous projects, we mainly only ever used Routing actions. I'm now working on a 3rd project that also uses OSB. But on this new project, they mainly only ever use Service Callout actions and Publish actions.
My question is: what are the criteria for choosing between one or the other (Routing action or Service Callout action or Publish action)?
What does one do that the others can't? I've RTFM. But it still isn't obvious to me. Please, can you fill in the gaps in my knowledge?
Thanks in advance for your time.

My question is: what are the criteria for choosing between one or the other (Routing action or Service Callout action or Publish action)?Routing Action - Routing action can be created inside a Route Node only and Route Node is the last node in a request processing. A Route Node indicates that Request Processing will end here and Response Processing will begin. You can not have any node after Route Node in the message flow.
Service Callout - Service Callout is used in real time request-response scenarios (for sync response). If you have a use case where you need to call one or multiple real time request-response services (like sync web-services) then you may use Service Callout action in the message flow. Being a synchronus call, the thread gets blocked until a response is returned from target service.
Publish Action - Publish action is used for Request only scenarios where you don't expect a response back. The nature of Publish action (sync or async) will depend upon the target service you are invoking. If you are invoking an external service through a business service then Publish action with Quality of Service(QoS) as "Best Effort" (default) will work like fire and forget and thread won't get blocked (async call). If you are invoking a local proxy service (proxy with transport protocol as "local") from another proxy using publish action then it would be a blocking call (synchronus call) and thread will get blocked untill the processing of local proxy finishes.
Hope it helps.

Anuj

11g in production?

Anyone knows how far 11g is from production?
Rgds, Henrik

11g did go to production - JDeveloper 11g that is. Find it here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/index.html and yes, it does not include the SOA components.
The 100-day release is basically the former BEA products rebranded - so OSB (formerly ALSB) and Oracle BPM Suite (formerly ALBPM) are included. This is not a single release. Individual products will be released as they are ready, in the approximate 100-day timeframe and at least by the end of this calendar year.
SOA Suite 11g release is still being reported as Calendar Year 1H 2009.

Does ESB support WS-ADDRESSING???

hi all,
does ESB support WS-Addressing ?also is there any document on how to implement WS-addressing in BPEL ?
any suggestions??
regards,
karthik

Hi Karthik,
Oracle BPEL PM implements WS-Addressing to represent dynamic endpoints and to invoke Web Service on an asynchronous messaging pattern.
The WS-Addressing standard provides a mechanism called endpoint references that allow you to select one of the available services in the WSDL, or even define new services at runtime. Please refer : http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/bpel_cookbook/carey.html.
ESB supports WS-ADDRESSING, please check : http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/integration/esb/files/esb-bpel-esbloanrouter.pdf
With OSB(formerly ALSB) , here is the implementation : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13159_01/osb/docs10gr3/bpelpmtransport/transport.html#wp1106721
Hope this answers your questions!

I need sample/reusable WLST scripts for the following requirements:
1. deploying OSB project developed on workbench to the remote server.
2. migrating OSB project from Remote Server A to Remote Server B.
I know other mechanisms to register an OSB project with the server but appreciate if some one can share the above scripts and associated documentation with me.

OSB (ALSB) Logging Redirect

Hi all,
how to redirect all the OSB(ALSB) related message logs ( Errors and transport exceptions included ) to a log4j custom file.
Now, given this discussion:
alsb logging
The way to go is, apparently, to
1. create filters at domain level by subsystem (or context_id or whatever else)
2. create a startup class to catch all log messages and to filter in only those ones you are interested in using, in your filter class, filters like " startsWith("ALSB)) " (equivalent of domain filter "Subsystem LIKE ALSB% " )
Now given all the following list of OSB (ALSB) related subsystems
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13159_01/osb/docs10gr3/messages/indexa.html
*Is there a better approach then creating a filter class per each subsystem ?*

Tony P.
