Siebel Tools Business Services for Source Control verification

One of the challenges with integrating Siebel Tools with a Source Control repository is that it is far too easy for an user to check in code to the Siebel Repository without that code getting checked in correctly to the Source Control repository (i.e. Subversion).
They can turn off the source control, have it setup incorrectly, or have some permissions issues which they don't know about. Since Siebel does all check-ins as an after though you can have the two code repositories (Siebel Tools and Subversion) out of sync.
Was wondering if anyone out there has used any of the out of the box Business Services (that start with Siebel Tools..) to build an automated process that would compare the objects in Siebel (via SIF-XML) to the files that got stored in the Source Control repository.
Or how have you mitigated this risk?

There are 2 things required to meet your need:
1) be able to generate a config.jar file from the resources in the source control in a command line tool.
2) deploy this jar file into alsb
WRT 1) this is something we want to address by adding an ALSB ant task, but it's not available today. You best bet is also to put the config jar in the source control.
WRT 2) this is already there. You can use the MBean APIs or WLST scripts to deploy the JAR.

Error installing SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013

Hi
I am trying to install SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 and am getting the following error
This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package.
I am running
Windows 8.1 x64
SQL Server 2014 Developer Edition x64
Visual Studio 2013 Professional
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Biztalk Developer

Could you please check if Windows Installer service is running and is in automatic startup mode.
The other thing is, if you’re running an x64-based SQL instance (64-bit), make sure to select “New Instance” on the Installation Type page, and NOT “Add features to an existing instance”.

Windows Explorer integration for Source Control Explorer

Hi together,
we've setupped an Online TFS to organize our Powershell Scripts in our Team. After that we've installed the Source Control Explorer for checking items in and out. From within the Source Control Explorer this works flawless.
Some time ago i've worked with TortoiseSVN for Source Control and there were a Windows Explorer Integration which was super easy to use for making new local repositorys, checkin and checkout, is there something similar for TFS? Because we only write Powershell
Scripts, we don't need Visual Studio and it would be easier to work directly in the Windows Explorer.
Thanks for any tips and tricks!
Rolf

Hi Rolf,
Thanks for your post.
You’re using VSO Account?
What’s the version of your VS? if you’re using VS 2013, you can install the
TFS 2013 Power Tools on your client. If you installed the TFS 2013 Power Tools on your VS 2013 client, after you mapped and got the source file to local workspace folder using Source Control Explorer, you can right-click on the local workspace folder and
select Team Foundation Server menu to perform check in/out.

Should i use Business system or Business service for a 3rd party file sys?

Hi Gurus
My requirement is to send a file from 3rd party client system to SAP ECC system.
I want to confugure a file sender CC to pickup the file and send it to ECC system thru proxy.
Now, after going thru the SAP definitions of 3rd party Business system (if the system is present the landscape and technical details are available) and Business service (if system's technical details is not available because it is not present in the landscape. Only the interface details are available, for ex: external webservice), i am not sure which one to use.
What is the use of using a 3rd Business system instead of using business service in my current situation?
In both the cases, i can use a file sender CC and pickup the file from a folder using FTP protocol.
What is the criteria based on which i need to take this decision?
And finally, how are the system name & host name details, which we given during 3rd party technical system definition in SLD useful?
Many Thanks
Chandra

Hi Chandra
Its always preferred to use Business service for communication with systems outside the landscape. As it does not refer to any SLD components and safe to use on internet etc.
What is the use of using a 3rd Business system instead of using business service in my current situation?
If you want to use 3rd party system you need to define party based communication and it acts as a party in production environment. You can also create a Standalone sytem in SLD for your use. Standalone technical system mostly refers to standalone Java applications in landscape.
n both the cases, i can use a file sender CC and pickup the file from a folder using FTP protocol.
What is the criteria based on which i need to take this decision?
If your communication is party based and the 3rd party you refer is a party for ERP then it make sense to use a third party communication and use party name as well.By this i mean business wise. Else its always good to use Business service.
And finally, how are the system name & host name details, which we given during 3rd party technical system definition in SLD useful?
To use this third party system you need to register products on TS else you will not be able to see any Interface etc while configuring in ID. you need to add all details to it in SLD.
Thanks

Can we use same Business Service for Sender and Receiver

Can we use same Business Service for Sender and Receiver

Hi
In addition to the above infomation explaining about the Business Service..
Business Service: Address an abstract business entity as the sender or receiver of messages.
Using a business service, you can define the technical or business subunits of the companies involved and then assign them the relevant interfaces.
The business services are used when configuring cross-company processes also..

SQL Server Data Tools – Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 (SSDT BI) and SSIS on SQL Server 2012

This great blog entry titled
SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 (SSDT BI), link below, highlights the lack of support for SSIS projects using SQL Server 2012, VS 2013 and SSDT BI for VS 2013. I see there is a new version
on SSDT BI for VS 2013 (12.0.2430.0, File Name: SSDTBI_x86_ENU.exe, Date Published: 10/27/2014) link below.
Does this version support SSIS projects using SQL Server 2012 using VS 2013 and SSDT BI for VS 2013?

Hi cjrinpdx,
According to the picture, it seems that we can use SSIS 2012 support is not included in SSDT-BI for VS 2013. And based on the previous versions, SSIS always different from SSRS, SSAS.
SSDT-BI for Visual Studio 2012 supports versions of SQL Server as follows:
SSAS project can target SQL 2012 or lower
SSRS project can target SQL 2012 or lower
SSIS project can target only SQL 2012
The following blog is for your reference:

Since I have no environment to test this at this moment,
I recommend you that submit the feedback at

Thank you for your understanding.

OSB: Configuring business service for JMS Queue

Hi,
I want to produce messages into a JMS queue from OSB proxy service. I have created business service for the JMS queue. I also want to return Status code=200, Status Messgae=Success if the message is successfully inserted into the Queue. Kindly let me know how to do this.
I tried using Service Callout to call the business service but it is not allowing me to use it because my business service is a one-way operation. So, i tried with Publish activity but my doubt is how and where to configure request payload for the publish activity. I could not find any.
And how do i know if the message is successfully inserted so that i can send the Status=200 back to the calling proxy service.
Kindly help in this regard.
Thanks in advance.

As suggested, use QoS=ExactlyOnce as RoutingOption within the Publish to business service. If there was any error it will send the flow to error handler where you can do a reply with failure to return HTTP status code=500 to the caller of the proxy service.
If you do a reply with success the caller will receive HTTP status code=200

Can I create JDE BSSV (Business Services) for REST based services?

Can I create JDE BSSV (Business Services) for REST based services? If yes, then how? In what way it will be different from SOAP based?

Hi
Within Oracle SOA Suite, Oracle Service Bus would handle the REST side of things, which in turn would call the JCA adapter to talk to your JDE backend, or vice versa.
Checkout the JDE adapter docs - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/soasuite/documentation/jdewardsweb-1954164.pdf
and the OSB Docs - HTTP and Poller Transports - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.7)
OSB 11.1.1.7 introduced additional REST support, so I'd recommend using that version onwards.
Cheers

Can teamcenter community be used for source control?

I have this new tool called teamcenter community and I'm trying to see how well it will work with source control for labview. I haven't learned how to use it fully yet, but when I try to open a vi get the error message:
The document could not be opened for editing. A windows SharePoint Services compatible application could not be found to edit the document.
I'm using 8.5. Is this a feature that was added to a more recent environment.
Is this feature a possiblity? So far I've been able to use it to manage file, but haven't had success with folders.

Steve:
Unfortunately, teamcenter isn't supported in LabVIEW (past or present). A full list of supported clients is located in this KB. While it may be possible to use other clients, there hasn't been any testing done with them, so they may very well not work with LabVIEW.

Creating a Business Service for Start/Stop Application Service in CCB 2.3.1

Hi,
I'm in the process of creating a BPA script that invokes a Business Service to perform a Start/Stop for a given Account ID/Premise ID combination. The Business Service is using the base Application Service: Start Stop (CILCSSEP). I am moving the Account ID and Premise ID, along with the start date and requested by fields to the data area of the Business Service, prior to invoking it. When I invoke the Business Service via the BPA script, it throws the below error message... I'm at a loss because the BILL_ADDR_SRCE_FLG is being set to a default of "PREM" on the Business Service Schema:
A Bill Address Source is required on the address override record. Please enter a valid value.
One of these two is true:
1) The Bill Route Type on this record has a Bill Routing Method of 'Postall', or
2) The main customer on the Account has a Quote Route Type with a Quote Routing Method of 'Postal'.
In either case, the Bill Address Source must be populated with a valid value.
If you need support please supply the following info to system support:

I'm running CC&B 2.3.1 - Any help in pointing me in the right direction to get this working would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!
Regards,
Jack

Hi,
Can you try and do this transaction online and see if the error occurs as well? If so run it with traces on and check for the details just before the error is thrown. ( you can also switch on debug via the service call, but it may be easier to debug when doing this online. ) I am predicting this error will occur also when you do it online.
When you are using an Account with its main Person set up with BILL_ADDR_SRC_FLG as PREM you will need a valide PREM_ID on the CI_ACCT record for MAILING_PREM_ID and the premise needs to have a switch set to YES indicating it is a Mailing Address type Premise.
Good luck

Managing OSB services with source Control

I have a number of services developed within an OSB and all the files .proxy , .biz , etc are stored in my source control system. This works perfectly fine when one team is working on one service.
However now we are looking at branching the service to support multiple development efforts. Which means team A could be making changes to MyService.proxy and team B could be fixing bugs in the same proxy on a different branch.
We want to periodically baseline the branches.
I cannot see any documented approach to how we can merge these changes. Comparing the files as XML is ugly and extremely high risk. Having looked in this forum I have not much discussion on this in the past.
I foresee multiple merge conflicts, overwritten changes and angst ahead.
If anybody has dealt with this and has some clever approaches I would be grateful
-Murph

Hi Prabu,
Thanks that is one approach to minimizing possible conflicts. The difficulty we have is that we are used to multiple teams working on multiple branches and managing merges using SCM tools and diff tools. Once you have a conflict in the OSB (specifically at a proxy level) then there is real problems.
I am toying with the idea of locking mechanisms whcih I have not used in a while to avoid losing work with conflicts.

OSB error while generating business service for FTP adapter Sync Get File

Hi All
I am trying to generate a business service from SOA Suite JCA FTP adapter Sync Get File, but i am getting this exception for no reasons (Rest operations list file, get file and put file are working)
Invalid JCA transport endpoint configuration, exception: java.lang.NullPointerException     Unknown ALSB Conflict.
Is this a bug in eclipse, can any body help me. Thanks
Sorry Forgot to mention eclipse version...
Eclipse Platform
Version: 3.6.2
Build id: M20110210-1200

Ok,
bcoz of this issue, i had to code the entire interface in OSB console. It runs fine in OSB console (i was able to test it successfully).
Is this a bug in eclipse or only i am facing this issue? Has anybody tried to create a business service from JCA FTP Get Synchronous jca file?
<adapter-config name="FTPReadMOMFileOnRMSDB" adapter="FTP Adapter"
     wsdlLocation="../wsdl/FTPReadMOMFileOnRMSDB.wsdl"
     xmlns="http://platform.integration.oracle/blocks/adapter/fw/metadata">
     <connection-factory location="eis/ftp/RMSDBFtpAdapter" />
     <endpoint-interaction portType="SynchRead_ptt"
          operation="SynchRead">
          <interaction-spec
               className="oracle.tip.adapter.ftp.outbound.FTPReadInteractionSpec">

               <property name="FileType" value="binary" />
          </interaction-spec>
     </endpoint-interaction>
</adapter-config>
One more doubt? The PhysicalArchiveDirectory path can be on the FTP server something like: /MOMFiles/archive. Or do i have to use the Put operation to move it to /MOMFiles/archive directory. Currently OSB console and eclipse do not accept FTP path for this parameter and want me to specify a local directory on server. Thanks

Do I use Service Catalogue or Business Services for this?

Hi
I'm just looking at implementing System Centre Service Manager - I'm an ITIL expert but not a Microsoft techie so bear with me!
I need to represent 130ish Services within SCSM which are different products we sell and support for our clients. Incidents, changes, releases etc will then be logged against these services, not the individual chunks of hardware.
How and where do I set these up in SCSM?? I had assumed it was setting up Business services? Is that correct?
Do the business services initially have to be associated with hardware held in SCCM or can we have a POC with a standalone service?
A bit fat pointer would be usefu right now!
Thanks

You are right: Business Services can be used for this.
You only need to specify a Display Name for the new Business Service. No other information are mandatory or requiered to create a Business Service in SCSM.
