Overhead of OSB in case of Service Virtualization

Hi All,
I am trying to do some performance testing and trying to add logging interceptors in OSB. I can calculate the time taken by the message flow in OSB, but how do i calculate time taken by the Transport Layer and binding layer. Any Idea on this?. Will the service level time be equal to the formula as mentioned below.
Service Level Avg Response Time=(Inbound Transport Layer Inbound Binding Layer Message Flow+ Outbound Transport Layer+ Outbound Transport Layer)

Service Virtualization: Mediator v/s OSB

Gurus,
I've been scouting for information as to when to use OSB and when to use Mediator for service virtualization.
I came across online material that says within SCA Assembly and same soa-infra installation, mediator should be used for virtualization.
Rest all scenarios (outside domain, non SCA) should be handled by OSB.
This limited and vague understanding brings me to the following questions:
1) When we change the target service location in mediator, it does require deployment. No OSB like console for mediator (to my knowledge) to push the change to runtime without deployment. That means change in mediator will go through "dev-deploy-test" cycle. Still Mediator should be preferred?
2) Should each component of composite that is exposed outside have a corresponding mediator to provide virtual layer? If yes, should OSB layer be added on top of mediator layer if such services are exposed outside SOA Infra?
Thanks-
Ashish

Any one has any idea about this?

OSB use cases

Hi,
my client wanted to use both Oracle SOA suite and OSB; I am not seeing the real use of OSB, why do we need to use OSB with SOA suite? one use case, I mainly see is Service Virtualization but I can also achieve it using a mediator component and I know OSB has some features like end point load balancing & failover etc but I am still not convinced with real use of OSB..Can you please let me know where do you use OSB in your projects, this would really help us to make some design decisions.
Thanks/Steve

Hi All,
Is it possible to specify the complete filename in OSB File Transport Business Service?
the default behavior allows me to specify the prefix and suffix only, is it possible to override and specify the complete filename?
Thanks,

How to configure proxy services in OSB for Rest based services?

how to configure proxy services in OSB for Rest based services implemented using Jersey (Rest).
The Client need to contact OSB proxy servies by posting application/xml using jersey client and OSB proxy service will call the OSB business service.
i would like to know how to get this request in OSB proxy service and send it to the business service and get the response back.

I would suggest you refer to the below links:

Dynamic timeout for OSB proxy or business services

The scenario we got here is that we will have multiple synchronous webservices implemented as OSB proxy services. These proxies will then invoke a common "routing" proxy that will determine which other OSB proxy or business services (JMS Request/Response) to call and does the dynamic routing.
I understand that you can set a timeout at the business service level how long to wait for a response (at least when using the JMS transport). The problem is we got the requirement that the timeout value would be dependent on the role of the caller invoking the frontend webservice (this is done via some kind of lookup to determine the appropriate timeout setting for the invocation).
Is this possible? I can't seem to find anything exposed in the transport header that allows me to set a timeout value during runtime. This means that the frontend proxy will be waiting for a response depending on the business service timeout setting. Can we implement a timeout in this frontend proxy somehow?
Stumped right now over this. Thanks in advance for helping out.

Are there other reasons why you say it's not the most ideal way of development ?

Versioning binary files is always a pain. You can't compare them, you can't merge them ... Another point, if you put your jar archive with OSB artifacts under version control, you will most probably face issue related to end of line styles (mac, unix, windows).
However, the most important point is usability. I want to version .proxy and .biz services to see right in IDE that I changed something and I should check that in for the others. I don't want to risk that I forget something. And I also want to see what other users committed, what sources they work on ... You loose all of that by versioning jar file. I would never go this way.

VAT/GST in case of services

Hi
Can someone suggest me how to configure VAT/GST in case of services.

Shipla,
Configuration Path:
IMG --> SD --> BF --> Taxes
a. Define Tax determination rules
you will have to maintain ZCST and ZVAT against the Country.
b. Define regional Codes. Create City code within India - IN
c. Assign Delivering plants for tax determination. Click details button of your plant and mainatain country and city for your plant
d. Define Tax Relevancy of master records For Customer Taxes and Material Taxes
Click on customer Taxes
Maintain Tax category as ZCST and tax class 0,1,2 (Depending on your requirement)
Similarly mainatin it for ZVAT (0,1)
Maintain same classification for Material taxes.
e. Maintain these values in Customer master record and Material master records appropriately.
Now create condition types ZVAT and ZCST, maintain condition records through VK11
Service tax - JSER = 10%
Education cess - JECE = 2% (it will be calculate on service tax)
Secondary education cess - JSEC = 1% (it will be calculate on service tax)
Pricing procedure
                                                  FROM    TO
10 PR00 Price
20 ZCST CST                             10
30 ZVAT VAT                             10
35 Netprice                                 10         30
40 JSER Service                         35
50 JECE Edu. cess                      40
60 JSEC Sec. Edu. Cess              40
Mainatain Account ting keys accordingly for all the condition types excpt "Netprice".
Hope you are clear

Need Java API's to create OSB proxy and Business Services

Hi All,
I need to create OSB proxy and business services using Java API's. Does any one have reference to the OSB APIs??

AFAIK it is proprietary.
What I do in a similar situation is to form XML for the services, package them into JAR the same way as an import JAR is packaged (creating ExportInfo resource, ...) and deploy with standard WSLT script. Works for simplest services only (direct proxies mostly) but I can also form security, alerts, throttling etc etc etc -- all in one shot.
Out of sheer interest, may I ask you a question? Why do you need to create OSB services from Java?

[OSB Kernel:398133]The service is based on WSDL with Web Services Security

Team,
I need to use the wsdl given by external client. When I create a osb business service, I am receiving the below error.
OSB Kernel:398133]The service is based on WSDL with Web Services Security Policies that are not natively supported by Oracle Service Bus. Please select OWSM Policies - From OWSM Policy Store option and attach equivalent OWSM security policy. For the Business Service, either you can add the necessary client policies manually by clicking Add button or you can let Oracle Service Bus automatically pick and add compatible client policies by clicking Add Compatible button. ...
WSDL:
http://personator.melissadata.net/v3/SOAP/ContactVerify
We don't have OWSM set up. Is there any workaround that I can use to connect to this service for OSB?

As a workaround, you can try to remove the Policy definition and reference from the copy you will import in OSB.
I would recommend to add OWSM to your domain. It's a straight forward process.
Regards,
Fabio.

OSB Logging: Case study

Hi
I want to separate the OSB logs based on proxy service names. I went through following threads:
1. alsb logging
2. https://kr.forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=1556555
I was wondering if i can change DEFAULT BEHAVIOUR OF 'LOG' action in OSB??
I mean when we use 'LOG' action, the logs go to single file named Servername.log. So MangedServer1.log and ManagedServer2.log in my case (2 managed servers).
What I want is this: When I use 'LOG' action, the logged xquery expression should go to the file whose name is the same as of PS where the action was used.
I also want the logs to be in a single location irrespective of the number of managed servers.
I played with creating log filters in WebLogic but did not help.
Any ideas
1. Using WebLogic logging filters
2. Using WebLogic logging API

ah! changing behavior of log action must be a tedious task, so far i could not find any illustrations.
some code sample was available on dev2devbea.com, but since forum is archived - the sample is not available for download :-(

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.

OSB - Problem using the Service Callout control in a proxy service

Greetings,
Using a Service Callout control in a proxy service requires to check one of the following two options: Configure SOAP Body or Configure Payload Document. Both require to write SOAP code and to assign it to variables that will be used in the Service Callout control. I found quite inconsistent to have to write SOAP code in order to use a tool which is supoposed to avoid writing Java code. In this case I largely prefer to write Java code and doing things manually. Is there any other way to use this control ?
Many thanks in advance,
Nicolas

I'll try to explain again, however it seems very clear. I'm using a Service Callout control in order to call a JAX-WS web service. This web service is using a "document" style, of course. Consequently, all its operations (messages) are document-centric and they have only one parameter: the document. In order to use tha Service Callout control, one has to construct the <siap:body> element, to assign it to a variable and to provide the name of this variable in the Request Body test field of the Service Callout Properties dialog. Accortdingly, one needs to assign something like:
<soap:Body xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<osb:myOperation xmlns:osb="http://www.simplex_software/fr/">
<osb: .../>
<osb:myOperation>
</soap>
Now, for those who have understood what I'm talking about, here come the question ? Is that the only way to use the Service Callout control ? If yes, this control is useless. If no, what is the other way to use the control in the given context while avoiding providing a <sopa:body> written manually ?

OSB - Business Case for Adapters Vs Transport

Hi
1. Can you please explain me a business case on when one should use Db/JMS/FTP/File Adapter in OSB and when should one go in for equivalent transports for configuring Business/Proxy services? Would be great if you could point me to some documentation on which approach should be chosen over the other/any benefits that a particular approach has etc..
2. Also is there some Oracle Documentation available on comparision between OSB and BPEL? When should a particular product be chosen? I tried searching for an example with a business scenario which provides details on when to use OSB and when to use BPEL but havent been able to get much info.
Thanks!

Can you please explain me a business case on when one should use Db/JMS/FTP/File Adapter in OSB and when should one go in for equivalent transports for configuring Business/Proxy services? Would be great if you could point me to some documentation on which approach should be chosen over the other/any benefits that a particular approach has etc.. For DB, you have to use DB adapter in OSB beacuse there is no seprate transport defined for DB. For FILE, you have both options - FILE transport and FILE adapter (in OSB 11g). FILE transport should be the preferred option (never seen documented anywhere) as it has been designed as part of the product and hence should be faster (although never comapred). For JMS and FTP, you have to use respective transports defined in OSB because OSB does not support JCA adapters for FTP/JMS (you may refer - 25.2.1 Adapter Support
at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e15866/jca.htm#BABBICIA)
2. Also is there some Oracle Documentation available on comparision between OSB and BPEL? When should a particular product be chosen? I tried searching for an example with a business scenario which provides details on when to use OSB and when to use BPEL but havent been able to get much info.OSB is a dedicated routing product and must be used for scenarios where only routing is required along with light transformations. Being a stateless product OSB can bear heavy load as well as gives better performance. BPEL can do what OSB does (to a certain extent) but being a statefull product it is much slower than OSB and should be used only for scenarios where process orchestration/human workflow intervention is required.
OSB being a service bus, can mediate among almost each and every kind of protocols but BPEL would need adapters for such mediation.
