Soa 11g best practices

Is there some Oracle doc describing best practices for SOA Suite 11g
Thanks - casey

THANKS - looks like a great series of articles.
Am also looking for a document that specifically address Best Practices for 11g SOA in the same vein as for 10g.
Thanks - Casey

OIM 11g - Best Practices

Hello,
a customer of us, want to use one OIM as production and quality environment. From my point of view a big mistake. I recommened to build a separate environment.
Are there any best practices documentation from oracle, where is described to seperate the environments (development, test, quality, production,...)?
Thanks

Obiee 11g : Best practice for filtering data allowed to user

Hi gurus,
I have a table of the allowed areas for each user.
I want to show only the data facts associated with these allowed areas.
For instance my user scott can see France and Italy data.
I made a variable session. I put this session variable in a filter.
It works ok but only one value (the first one i think) is taken in account (for instance, with my solution scott will see only france data).
I need all the possible values.
I tried with the row wise parameter of the variable session. But it doesn't work (error obiee).
I've read things on internet about using stragg or valuelistof but neither worked.
What would be the best practice to achieve this goal of filtering data with conditions by user stored in database ?
Thanks in advance, Emmanuel

JDev 11g: Best Practice Multi Field Validation / Reset in a Dialog Control

I'm using JDev 11g and want to do the following (excuse my newbie learning curve):
1. Ability for the user to have a "dialog" form that they can edit their user information such as name, password, email, etc.
2. When user clicks OK want the system to validate that password fields are the same (there are two of them).
3. When user clicks Cancel I want the form to reset and the dialog to close.
Sounds easy right? However, I've seen several ways to implement and none of them seem straight forward and don't appear to work like I would want so instead spending the next day coding want to know if there's an easy solution.
For # 2:
The examples on the web use a phase listener for multi-form validation which when using a small dialog in a larger arena seems like overkill since the entire view will get my event right? Is there a similar thing for subform or subview?
Another example uses a listener for value change, however that doesn't work to well when trying to validate two fields match.
For # 3:
A standard OK Cancel dialog does not auto reset a form within it (it leaves the text - even invalid text in the field). Adding my own button for reset doesn't close the form and adding a reset listener doesn't close the form either. Is there a simple way and I'm just overlooking it? Should I use the standard buttons and somehow assign the cancel to reset the form or define my own and somehow close the popup? There's not too much documentation I can find about using Javascript to modify objects such as closing a dialog.
Anyone have the best approach that should be followed with less headache downstream and better portability to other forms with more complex validation? Any examples I missed that shows this working in a dialog?
Thank you,
Kris

Hi,
I don't understand #2, so ignoring it
#1 You can set the immediate property on the two password fields. In a value change listener you compare the two provided values and if they match, you continue processing. Otherwise you set an error message and call response complete. Note that as much as we like to provide everything declarative, coding is something that we cannot neglect completely in a programming environment.
#3 You can intercept the dialog close event and in this event determine which button was pressed. If it was the cancel button, get the current row from the underlying iterator and call refresh() passing one of the arguments you find when typing "Row." e.g DB refreshWithDBForget.

OBIEE 11g best practice - when to use the new "presentation hierarchies"

Hi, maybe a dumb question, but what are the rules of thumb for when to expose a presentation hierarchy to end users. Obviously this must be done when using a parent / child hierarchy, as there is no level info that would allow drilling the "10g" way. However, I'm not so sure what the bonuses / drawbacks are when using level based hierarchies.
I have noticed that the SQL seems more complex and less performant when using the hierarchy. As an example, I have a simple dimension (business unit) that has a hierarchy with a total level, and 3 members in the detail level.
If I create this as a 10g style report, I add business unit column, dollar amounts, and a table total (so I can see grand total amounts), the SQL launched looks like this:
WITH
SAWITH0 AS (select sum(1) as c1,
sum(T45393.SPEND_AMOUNT) as c2,
T45273.BUSINESS_UNIT_CODE as c3
from
DIM_BUSINESS_UNIT T45273,
FACT_SPEND_ANALYTICS T45393
where ( T45273.BUSINESS_UNIT_KEY = T45393.BUSINESS_UNIT_KEY )
group by T45273.BUSINESS_UNIT_CODE)
select distinct 0 as c1,
D1.c3 as c2,
D1.c2 as c3,
D1.c1 as c4,
0 as c5,
0 as c6
from
SAWITH0 D1
This is simple and efficient, and OBIEE "knows" the grand total can be calculated by simply summing the business unit totals together.
But if I create this as an 11g style report using the presentation hierarchy, with all members selected (so I can get the detailed business units plus the grand total), the SQL is much less efficient, it actually fires two queries - one for the detail level, another for the total level:
WITH
SAWITH0 AS (select distinct sum(1) as c1,
sum(T45393.SPEND_AMOUNT) as c2
from
FACT_SPEND_ANALYTICS T45393)
select distinct 0 as c1,
NULL as c2,
'All Business Units' as c3,
1 as c4,
NULL as c5,
D1.c2 as c6,
D1.c1 as c7
from
SAWITH0 D1
AND
WITH
SAWITH0 AS (select sum(1) as c1,
sum(T45393.SPEND_AMOUNT) as c2,
T45273.BUSINESS_UNIT_CODE as c3
from
DIM_BUSINESS_UNIT T45273,
FACT_SPEND_ANALYTICS T45393
where ( T45273.BUSINESS_UNIT_KEY = T45393.BUSINESS_UNIT_KEY )
group by T45273.BUSINESS_UNIT_CODE)
select distinct 1 as c1,
D1.c3 as c2,
'All Business Units' as c3,
1 as c4,
D1.c3 as c5,
D1.c2 as c6,
D1.c1 as c7
from
SAWITH0 D1
Not only does this fire off two queries - but it doesn't use the existing cache for the "detail" level generated by the "non-hierarchy" query.
So I'm trying to figure out pros and cons of exposing hierarchies for end users. I've come up with the following:
Pros:
- Users can click on the + and - signs to drill / collapse individual members while still keeping all other members on the report
Cons:
- Queries fired at all levels, doesn't seem like it's smart enough to figure out it doesn't need to send a level query to database if all children were already queried
- In 10g if I want to expand all children (i.e. drill down all quarters to the month level) I could just click on the column header. Doesn't appear to be any way to do that using the hierarchical drills, I have to click each and every one to see all the months.
Any insights would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Scott

Hi, no, I haven't tried setting options such as "report based totals" - simply because I wouldn't want an option that requires users to tweak settings on each and every report they create to get stuff working efficiently.
Thanks,
Scott

Problem in deploy BPM 11g best practices to weblogic

Hi everybody,
I do step by step BPM11g BestPractices instruction. when I want to deploy SalesProcesses to application server in select SOA severs step in deploy wizard there isn't any server that I select. I login to admin server console of weblogic and see that soa_server1 and bam_server1 state is SHUTDOWN I find two ways for start them
1. from console that first must start node manager and then start them
2. from command line --> startManagedWebLogic.cmd soa_server1
I try two ways but both of them have problems. when I see log files I see below exception finally :

BPEL/WSDL Reference Best Practices ?

We have a BPEL project with several (30+) processes. The WSDL of one process is needed by another, which is typical for a BPEL project. Also, the processes need resources like supplementary XML files. Where can I read about how to construct the partnerLink references to these resources that will facilitate both local testing and production deployment. There must be a recommended methodology.
If I force every WSDL (or resource) to be accessed through a separate WEB service, than the WSDL created or modified in the BPEL process must be deployed to the WEB service before I test. Is that the only solution?
I do not see how I could use a file URL because there are multiple developers and the BPEL workspaces are probably in different top level folder paths. Though each of the processes are at the same level in the workspace. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

This link should have all that information.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/soa/soa-suite-best-practices/soa_best_practices_1013x_drop1.pdf
You should see no to little performance hits creating multiple sub processes, if they are reusable then this is what the product is for and is encouraged. This is what SOA is all about. Whether this is best practice, I don't know this is just one persons point of view.
Remember Oracle products are scalable, therefore if you are willing to invest in the right solution the performance is not an issue.
When integrating to ESB don't use SOAP use the default jca adapter.

SOA Suite 11g Coding Best Practice Document

Hello,
I am looking for coding best practice dosument for SOA suite 11g. I have seen one document for "soa_best_practices_1013x_drop3" but this was for SOA 10g. I could not find any such document for SOA 11g. Please let me know if some one has document for best practice, coding standard, naming convention for BPEL,OSB,B2B etc.

Now we need to publish our services on the internet. I am looking for the security mechanism that I should apply in order to make the services secure. I may even like to verify that the request invoking service A is only coming from specified context.One approach we followed at a customer :
- SOA was installed within internal firewall zone
- A F5 BigIP Load Balancer was setup in DMZ. This load balancer terminated one way SSL connections coming from service consumers over internet. The load balancer forwaded the request to a pool of apache of web servers within DMZ
- The Apache web servers had a redirection rule which forwarded the request to the soa server ports within the internal firwall zone. The internal firewall was opened to allow connections between apache web servers and soa server ports.
- WS Security Username token/plain text password was used for message level security at the soa services layer.
Some alterations you can do :
1. enforce 2 way ssl and make load balancer to validate the CN of the client certificate. This can make sure only authorized clients are to make calls to the service
2. OR setup some sort of IP filtering at DMZ firewall i.e. allow traffic only from authorized clients IP addresses to the load balancers virtual address for this specific service.

SOA 11g Composite Deployment across multiple Instances: Best Practice

Hi,
We have a requirement where we need to deploy the composite acrocss mutilple instances(DEV,TEST,Production) without JDEV.
We are using SOA11.1.3.3(cluster) and linux OS.
Pls suggest me what is the best practice to deploy the SOA composite.
Thanks,
AB

Why there are different ways to deploy the composite in different environment? Depending upon the environment, it's business importance increases and hence access to developers get more restricted and hence there are many ways for deploying. If you are developing an application, you would not like to export a SAR and then login to EM console to deploy it. For a developer it is always very convenient to use IDE itself for deployment and hence JDev is preferably used for Dev instances for deployment.
Once development finishes, developer will check in the artifacts into version control system and if you want to deploy to a test instance then you have to check out the stable version, compile it and package it and then only you can deploy. Hence for test instances, ANT is the preferable mode for deployment. (Remember that developers may not be able to connect to Test environment directly and hence deployment from JDev is not possible)
Once a configuration gets tested in Test env, it's SAR should be checked in into version control system, so that it would not be required to recompile and repackaging of it. This will also make sure that any artifact which is not tested on Test instance, must not go to higher instances (like UAT/PROD). Now in Pre-Prod/UAT/Prod, you may simply access the EM console and deploy the SAR which is already tested in Test instance. Remember that there will be very limited access to such critical environments and hence using Role based access of EM it would be very easy to deploy the resources. Moreover, it is more secure mode of deployment because only those users which have appropriate priviledge, will be able to deploy, and it would also be easier to track the changes.
What is the proc and cons if we use only one way to deploy the composite across the Instances...As such there is no major pros and cons. You may use EM for all environments but it may be a little discomfort for developers/deployers of test environment. You may also use ANT for all the environments but it is not suggested until and unless you have a very good and secure process in place for deployments.

SOA composite application best practice

Hi All,
We are running SOA Suite 11g. One of my colleagues said that we should always have a mediator in our composite applications instead of just exposing the BPEL Process as a SOAP service. Is this a correct statement? If so why is that good practice. Still trying to grasp the concepts and best practices for SOA so any information is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
S

if you place a mediator in between them, you can change the bpel interface without having to change your composite soap interface
that's one thing which could be a best practice

Best practices or design framework for designing processes in OSB(11g)

Hi all,
We have been working in oracle 10g, now in the new project we are going to use Soa suite 11g.For 10g we designed our services very similar to AIA framework. But in 11g since OSB is introduced we are not able to exactly fit the AIA framework here because OSB has a structure different than ESB.
Can anybody suggest best practices or some design framework for designing processes in OSB or 11g SOA Suite ?

Best-practice on versioning a soa suite-application

Hi everyone,
I recently organised a seminar for customers concerning the Soa Suite Stack and one of the interesting questions asked that day was a versioning-question.
Let's say we've build a bpel/esb application interacting with different external and internal webservices and we've deployed this application to our production environment and we need to change an internal web service.
How can we add versioning to this heterogenous system in a consistent way? I know you can tell esb which version of the bpel process it needs to use, but what about the custom and external webservices that we've integrated with?
My 2 cents: You need to add a versioning-tag to you custom web services that you need to manage yourself, and use this versioning tag in the services your integrating with.
Could somebody point me out what best practice is, or what Oracle's development team is working out regarding versioning systems for SOA-applications?

Marc,
Are you saying versioning isn't supported in ESB now? I thought that ESB already uses the versioning tag from bpel when you're integrating bpel and esb?
During the development of my demo I've seen that the version-tag was used when invoking the bpel process through a soa service.

Best Practice for using UML in JDeveloper 11g

Hi,
We are embarking upon a big program that involves development of a Webcenter 11g based Portal. We will be using JDeveloper for doing the development work. We are investigating whether we can use JDeveloper for doing the design work too. Towards that we would like to know if there are any best practices documented around using JDeveloper's UML capabilities in a Webcenter 11g Portal delivery activity that spans across several sprint teams and involves delivering an application that could involve several hundreds of java classes ? If so, can you please share the same / provide pointers to the same ?
We are keen on using class diagrams and sequence diagrams for the design work.
We will be using JDeveloper 11.1.1.5.0.
Many thanks!
Best Regards,
Ramesh

Best practice for install oracle 11g r2 on Windows Server 2008 r2

Dear all,
May I know what is the best practice for install oracle 11g r2 on windows server 2008 r2. Should I create a special account for windows for the oracle database installation? What permission should I grant to the folders where Oracle installed and the database related files located (datafiles, controlfiles, etc.)
Just grant Full for Administrators and System and remove permissions for all others accounts?
Also how should I configure windows firewall to allow client connect to the database.
Thanks for your help.
