Oracle SOA Suite 11g VS BPEL PM 11g

Hello,
What is the difference between SOA Suite 11g and BPEL Process Manager 11g?
I understand BPEL PM is a component of SOA Suite 11g.
What capabilities does SOA Suite offer more than BPEL Process Manager 11g?
When does a customer choose BPEL PM 11g over SOA Suite 11g? I assume BPEL PM 11g will be less in terms of cost.
Thanks,
Ram

Ram,
What is the difference between SOA Suite 11g and BPEL Process Manager 11g?BPEL Process Manager 11g is a standalone product and it is part of SOA Suite 11g as well. SOA Suite 11g is actually a group of products and it includes -
Oracle BPEL Process Manager
Oracle Service Bus
Mediator
Oracle Business Activity Monitoring
Oracle Web Services Manager
Oracle Business Rules
Oracle Human Workflow
Oracle Event Processing
JDeveloper and ADF
Adapters
Oracle Entitlements Server Basic
Oracle B2B
So you cannot compare SOA Suite with BPEL.
What capabilities does SOA Suite offer more than BPEL Process Manager 11g?Oracle BPEL Process Manager enables enterprises to model, deploy, and manage BPEL (Business Process Execution Language) processes. It includes a BPEL business process modeler, a scalable BPEL run-time engine, an extensible WSDL binding framework, and a monitoring console. So use of BPEL is limited till business process implementation only whereas SOA Suite offers complete middleware SOA solution.
When does a customer choose BPEL PM 11g over SOA Suite 11g? I assume BPEL PM 11g will be less in terms of cost.Yes, if you want to implement BPEL processes only then you can buy only BPEL Process Manager 11g but if you are looking for to implement a complete middleware SOA solution then licensing SOA Suite 11g will be the better option.

How to execute BPEL process and invoke web service and workflow design

I am completely new to Oracle software. i need to develope BPEL process using oracle
I have installed almost all necessary product like oracle SOA suite , jDeveloper, BPEL process manager.
But nothing works . i did not installed patches.
I INSTALLED ALL LATEST SOA SUITE 11g AND ORACLE BUSINESS MANAGER (10.1.3.1.0). BUT I AM LACKING bpel DESIGNER. For that purpose i downloaded and installed oracle JDeveloper 11g studio version. but it does not have bpel designer.
all tutorial are based on either eclipse based bpel designer "bpelz" OR jdeveloper based. but latest JDEVELOPER 11g studio version does not have any bpel option. even i can not able to download necessary patches.
KINDLY TELL ME NECESSARY PREREQUISITES TO RUN BPEL PROCESS TO setup complete bpel environment.
necessary tutorials links and software to download.
Thanks in advance K. ROY

Hi Roy ,
The Jdeveloper 11g does not have plugin for BPEL .
download jdeveloper 10.1.3.4 from
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/jdev/index.html
and run a online update for the jdeveloper . This will give you the BPEL project option.
A very good link for learning BPEL is :

Understanding asynchronous BPEL processes and threading

Hi everybody,
I have a question regarding asynchronous BPEL processes and threading.
I have an asynchronous BPEL process which delivers a message (picked up from a JMS topic) to a repository (via for instance an ICAN server). This transaction must be time-sensitive, i.e. first-in is first-out.
If I have several threads running concurrently I have no guarantee that the messages are delivered in the same order that they where generated. It seems that the suggested way around this problem is to use single-threading.
So here's the part that I do not understand:
An asynchronous request does not wait for a response. If I use single-threading then what happens to that single-thread if for some reason (for instance the ICAN server is not responding) the BPEL instance is dehydrated? Is the thread still allocated for waiting for the first response or does it go back and pick up the next thing on the topic? If the next thing on the topic is picked up then how can I be sure that the messages are delivered in the correct order? If the thread is still allocated to the single instance then does that not kindda go against the whole concept of an asynchronous process?
I hope some one can explain this to me.
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
Mathias
PS. This question is an attempt of a different angle on another forum thread: Asynchronuos BPEL - how to get the order of messages right?

Hi again,
A quick follow up question:
Is there any way to have several BPEL processes running on the same server with different settings for how many threads to use?
It seems that the only way to set number of threads used by BPEL is to use the configuration in the BPEL console? This is an domain setting - which means that all processes deployed to the server is effected the same way?
I am asking because I am facing a scenario where I need one BPEL process to read from a AQ queue (well actually a topic) with a single thread and another BPEL process - deployed to the same BPEL server - to read from the same AQ queue with multiple threads.
Does anyone have any idea of how to do this? Can it be done?
Any suggestions, hints or reference to any documentation would be very much appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Aagaard

BPEL - SOAP must understand error - Partner Link Reply Contains WSSE in Soa

Hello,
I'm trying to call a WS-Secured partner link from a BPEL process. The SOAP request looks perfect, however the partner link's reply contains a WSSE security element in the SOAP header. Is there a way to configure the BPEL process to expect this and not throw a 'SOAP must understand error'. Both Request and reply SOAP envelopes are below.
Any help would be much appreciated - thanks.

Without attaching policy can't I execute?No. You have to attach policy. If none of the pre-seeded policies fulfill your requirement then you may always create your won custom policy. Please refer -

Understanding configuration of Quartz and BPEL

can you please briefly explain configuration of Quartz and BPEL .
If possible could you please step by step procedure to schedule simple hello world BPEL process.
Thanks inadvance. It would be great help.

Hi Praveen
public class CronTrigger
extends Trigger
A concrete Trigger that is used to fire a JobDetail at given moments in time, defined with Unix 'cron-like' definitions.
For those unfamiliar with "cron", this means being able to create a firing schedule such as: "At 8:00am every Monday through Friday" or "At 1:30am every last Friday of the month".
A "Cron-Expression" is a string comprised of 6 or 7 fields separated by white space. The 6 mandatory and 1 optional fields are as follows:
Field Name Allowed Values Allowed Special Characters
Seconds 0-59 , - * /
Minutes 0-59 , - * /
Hours 0-23 , - * /
Day-of-month 1-31 , - * ? / L W C
Month 1-12 or JAN-DEC , - * /
Day-of-Week 1-7 or SUN-SAT , - * ? / L C #
Year (Optional) empty, 1970-2099 , - * /
The '*' character is used to specify all values. For example, "*" in the minute field means "every minute".
The '?' character is allowed for the day-of-month and day-of-week fields. It is used to specify 'no specific value'. This is useful when you need to specify something in one of the two fileds, but not the other. See the examples below for clarification.
The '-' character is used to specify ranges For example "10-12" in the hour field means "the hours 10, 11 and 12".
The ',' character is used to specify additional values. For example "MON,WED,FRI" in the day-of-week field means "the days Monday, Wednesday, and Friday".
The '/' character is used to specify increments. For example "0/15" in the seconds field means "the seconds 0, 15, 30, and 45". And "5/15" in the seconds field means "the seconds 5, 20, 35, and 50". You can also specify '/' after the '*' character - in this case '*' is equivalent to having '0' before the '/'.
The 'L' character is allowed for the day-of-month and day-of-week fields. This character is short-hand for "last", but it has different meaning in each of the two fields. For example, the value "L" in the day-of-month field means "the last day of the month" - day 31 for January, day 28 for February on non-leap years. If used in the day-of-week field by itself, it simply means "7" or "SAT". But if used in the day-of-week field after another value, it means "the last xxx day of the month" - for example "6L" means "the last friday of the month". When using the 'L' option, it is important not to specify lists, or ranges of values, as you'll get confusing results.
The 'W' character is allowed for the day-of-month field. This character is used to specify the weekday (Monday-Friday) nearest the given day. As an example, if you were to specify "15W" as the value for the day-of-month field, the meaning is: "the nearest weekday to the 15th of the month". So if the 15th is a Saturday, the trigger will fire on Friday the 14th. If the 15th is a Sunday, the trigger will fire on Monday the 16th. If the 15th is a Tuesday, then it will fire on Tuesday the 15th. However if you specify "1W" as the value for day-of-month, and the 1st is a Saturday, the trigger will fire on Monday the 3rd, as it will not 'jump' over the boundary of a month's days. The 'W' character can only be specified when the day-of-month is a single day, not a range or list of days.
The 'L' and 'W' characters can also be combined for the day-of-month expression to yield 'LW', which translates to "last weekday of the month".
The '#' character is allowed for the day-of-week field. This character is used to specify "the nth" XXX day of the month. For example, the value of "6#3" in the day-of-week field means the third Friday of the month (day 6 = Friday and "#3" = the 3rd one in the month). Other examples: "2#1" = the first Monday of the month and "4#5" = the fifth Wednesday of the month. Note that if you specify "#5" and there is not 5 of the given day-of-week in the month, then no firing will occur that month.
The 'C' character is allowed for the day-of-month and day-of-week fields. This character is short-hand for "calendar". This means values are calculated against the associated calendar, if any. If no calendar is associated, then it is equivalent to having an all-inclusive calendar. A value of "5C" in the day-of-month field means "the first day included by the calendar on or after the 5th". A value of "1C" in the day-of-week field means "the first day included by the calendar on or after sunday".
The legal characters and the names of months and days of the week are not case sensitive.
Here are some full examples:
Expression Meaning
"0 0 12 * * ?" Fire at 12pm (noon) every day
"0 15 10 ? * *" Fire at 10:15am every day
"0 15 10 * * ?" Fire at 10:15am every day
"0 15 10 * * ? *" Fire at 10:15am every day
"0 15 10 * * ? 2005" Fire at 10:15am every day during the year 2005
"0 * 14 * * ?" Fire every minute starting at 2pm and ending at 2:59pm, every day
"0 0/5 14 * * ?" Fire every 5 minutes starting at 2pm and ending at 2:55pm, every day
"0 0/5 14,18 * * ?" Fire every 5 minutes starting at 2pm and ending at 2:55pm, AND fire every 5 minutes starting at 6pm and ending at 6:55pm, every day
"0 0-5 14 * * ?" Fire every minute starting at 2pm and ending at 2:05pm, every day
"0 10,44 14 ? 3 WED" Fire at 2:10pm and at 2:44pm every Wednesday in the month of March.
"0 15 10 ? * MON-FRI" Fire at 10:15am every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
"0 15 10 15 * ?" Fire at 10:15am on the 15th day of every month
"0 15 10 L * ?" Fire at 10:15am on the last day of every month
"0 15 10 ? * 6L" Fire at 10:15am on the last Friday of every month
"0 15 10 ? * 6L" Fire at 10:15am on the last Friday of every month
"0 15 10 ? * 6L 2002-2005" Fire at 10:15am on every last friday of every month during the years 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005
"0 15 10 ? * 6#3" Fire at 10:15am on the third Friday of every month
Pay attention to the effects of '?' and '*' in the day-of-week and day-of-month fields!
NOTES:
Support for the features described for the 'C' character is not complete.
Support for specifying both a day-of-week and a day-of-month value is not complete (you'll need to use the '?' character in on of these fields).
Be careful when setting fire times between mid-night and 1:00 AM - "daylight savings" can cause a skip or a repeat depending on whether the time moves back or jumps forward.
Hope this answers all your questions and helps you!
Cheers
Anirudh Pucha

BPEL Human Task Claim functionality Understanding

Hi all,
On a task with multiple assignees, it appears that each assignee has to claim the task before completing it. Some queries that I had on claim functionality -
1. Is there a way by which we can avoid the process of 'claiming' the task before completing?
2. Is there a way programmatically to release the claim? I saw releaseTask() API in TaskService class - but I observed that if a task has been claimed by an assignee - other assignees are unable to release this task. Any suggestions here?
Thanks,
Srini

How to install the JDI and what re the prerequisites

Hi All,
Anybody tell me ,
AS iam new to the SAP NetWeaver
How to install the JDI,
I have got one document in sdn . It has given the prerequisite as.
Complete installation of DI (CMS, DTR, and CBS) on SAP J2EE Engine
Should i install all the above component? or any one of the components, if need to be, can u anbody tell me how to install , where i will get the help.
How i need to setup the JDI.
We are working on Webdynpro, and VC, some of the portal components development.
Installing the DTR alone is enough to move forward, or JDI is required to setup?
Please repsond me.
Regards
Vijay

Hi Krishna thanks for the reply,
Our Current Portal Version is
NetWeaver 2004s SP 11.
My question, should we need to install all these following components before we setup the JDI.
Complete installation of DI (CMS, DTR, and CBS) on SAP J2EE Engine.
or
As per your reply , my understanding is , By installing the JDI , i will be getting all the above components.
BCZ in that document it is gving clearly that, the above components are prerequisites for installing the JDI.
Can u tell me where i will get that service packs in the service market place.

Not able to get the data from synchronous Webservice To BPEL process

Hi All,
My requirement is : Third party has some webservice.They are pushing data to that Webservice(Wsdl).
Third part WSDL example : http://ipaddress:port/name/Service.svc?wsdl ( This is just example format of their WSDL)
After that I need to get that data into my BPEL process and update my system.
When I built My Snchronous BPEL process I imported third party WSDL(http://ipaddress:port/name/Service.svc?wsdl) through 'import WSDL' in dialog.After that I automatically got the (request and response schema elements) parameters from that WSDL.I gave input and output of the BPEL process from those elements.
I pasted that third party URL iin SOAPUI and I got their operations and schemas.Based on that I had choosen the elements for 'input' and 'output' of the BPEL processes.I am also getting the schema structures in 'Assign' or 'Transform' activity.
I built the whole process.
I have the Process.
Now Client is pushing data to their WSDL(http://ipaddress:port/name/Service.svc?wsdl) as it is their data pushing interface.But that data is not coming to my BPEL process and instance is not being created in EM console.
As I have imported their WSDL into my BPEL process,I need to get the data.But I am not getting the data.
Is there any problem in MY BPEL process?
(or)
DO I need to use 'Webservice' Adapter in 'Exposed Services' Swimlane in Composite Editor to have the third party URL, so that they Can push the data to that WSDL in turn that data comes into my BPEL process?
Can anybody help me this case?
once again my requirement is :
Client pushes the data through their WSDL url -----> I need to get that data into MY BPEL process --> I have my own WSDl to take that details into my system.

I will explain the requirement in small paragraph:
There are two applications.One is our application(X) and another one is third party application(Y).
I need to update in my application(X) based on data coming from application(Y).
I am using SOA as a middle tier to have communication between Y and X.
(Ex: if they send some info like event type 'event1' from Y ,I need to update that 'event1' data in my X application)
The work at third party application is :
According their info,They will push data from their end to their WSDL( http://ipaddress:port/name/Service.svc?wsdl ).
They are telling they can only send the data to their WSDL( http://ipaddress:port/name/Service.svc?wsdl ).
They will not consume our BPEL process(I think they might be wrong at this point of time).They have one WSDL to send or push the data from their end.
The work at from our side(SOA & X application)
From that point ,our BPEL process has to receive that data and update that data into my application(X).
I hope You understand my requirement.
Can you guide me through how to achieve this task as they are telling they have to use their WSDL to push the data?
(or)
Do I need to take 'Webservice' adapter into Exposed Services Swimlane in Jdeveloper to have their webservice(third party WSDL),If it is So Can you tell me the details how to take 'input' and 'output' for BPEL process?
(or)
Can YOu suggest me to talk to them to consume my BPEL process directly?
Thanks

David,
You are right, theer are some changes incorporated in the latest MLR # 16 on the configurations files and on the dehydration store metrics(such as performance, fields,..).
However, I would not suggest to continue working on olite, even for Development/Test purposes as you might get stuck with strange errors...and the only solution would be to re-install SOA Suite if your olite gets corrupted. There might be ways to gets your olite back to position, but trust me..its not so simple.
Also, when you develop and stress test all your testcase scenarios in an TEST Adv installation, its simple to mimic the same in actual production box, as you exactly know its behavior.
So, go for a brand new SOA 10.1.3.4 MLR # 5 (or) 10.1.3.3.1 MLR # 16 SOA Suite Advanced installation with Oracle DB 10.2.0.3 as its dehydration store.
Hope this helps!

Some questions regarding BPEL 10g to 11g migration.

Hi All
I have the following queries,
1.Is it mandatory to load xsd's , wsdl's , XREF , DVM into MDS ? or is it allright to keep them in file system ? currently we have a number of xsd's and wsdl's inside each of our 10g project > bpel subfolder. If they need to be deployed to MDS , then which files in 11g will need to be modified to use the new 'oramds:/apps/..... ' reference ?
do they get automatically loaded into MDS when a Composite is deployed on WLS or do they have to be deployed separately using ant-sca-deploy?
2. Should we modify fault-bindings.xml , DefaultPolicy.xml before or after upgrading the 10g project ? I understand that their references in composite.xml also need changing.
3.
a.Is it mandatory to modify the 10g dbadapter.rar contents (convert oc4j-ra.xml to weblogic-ra.xml ) and deploy the rar on 11g ?
b.or can we manually create data sources,outbound connection pools> jndi factories etc and redeploy the dbadapter on 11g so that its weblogic-ra.xml gets updated with the data sources,jndi that we manually created ?
want to know if 'a' and 'b' do the same thing ,so mutually exclusive OR both need to be done .
same question for JMSAdapter.rar, aqadapter.rar
4. When upgrading BPEL 10g to 11g using Jdeveloper, should all the data sources used by the project be created on Jdeveloper ?
5. Is it necessary to copy properties from 10g domain.xml t0 11g bpel-config.xml,soa-infra-config.xml ?
6. Should external webservices used by BPEL be up and running , while upgrading from 10g to 11g in jdeveloper , OR only during deployment to wls? if they are needed during upgrading how to link to them from jdeveloper ?
7. Do BPEL 11g projects needs to be deployed on WLS only as a SAR or are any other formats allowed ?
Thanks in anticipation

Email Activity Not sending email when BPEL process fails

In 11g SOASuite I have a BPEL process which does the following,
1) Receive response from client
2) Email activity - Notify with an id received in the request as content
3) Insert data into a table using db adapter
Whenever db adapter has some key violations or issues, I notice that no emails are getting dispatched. When I look at EM console it displays that txn has been rolled back after 3rd step. I understand that but it makes me ask this question,
How can I make the process to send an email at step2 irrespective of an error that happens down stream at step-3? How to make email activity not part of this Txn scope?
It works as expected(emails are dispatched) when there are no issues at step-3.

Hi,
In order to not rollback your transactions, you need to hit a dehydration point, meaning, save your process into the db store and perform a commit until that point.
It sounds like a simple process, so you can drag a checkpoint activity after the email activity.
That is one option. Try, and see if it works for you.
