SOA OSB and JMS issues

Hi guys,
We are trying to achieve synchronous communication using JMS. The client in Weblogic Domain 1 creates a JMS Message , and sets the JMSReplyTo attribute as queue ‘Reply’ where it waits on for a reply. It waits for a message having correlation id = to the messageid of the message it sent on the ‘reply’ queue. An OSB proxy service picks the message and puts it on a queue on Weblogic Domain 2. A MDB listening to this queue on domain 2, picks the message and creates a reply message with the correlation id of reply as message id of incoming message. At this point when we inspect the JMSReplyTo header value of the request message, it appears as null. Is the JMSReplyTo attribute not retained across Weblogic domains? Or is the proxy service not copying it over.
Our basic aim is to get the request message from a queue on one domain to another domain, and get the reply back on the right queue that the client is pinning on.
Is using OSB not the right approach or we are not configuring it right? Will using Weblogic SAF capability help us?

You have to configure a transport header action with "pass all headers through pipeline" option to make this work.
Configuring Transport Headers in Message Flows
The transport header action is a communication type action, and it is available in pipeline stages and error handler stages.
Configuring Global Pass Through and Header-Specific Copy Options for Transport Headers
The following options are available when you configure a transport headers action:
> * The Pass all Headers through Pipeline option specifies that at run time, the transport headers action passes all headers through from the inbound message to >the outbound message or vice versa. Every header in the source set of headers is copied to the target header set, overwriting any existing values in the target >header set.

OSB and JMS

I need to create a BS which will push messages to a Queue(on separate machine/server/domain) .
Im not sure how to push the message to a JMS Queue runnin on separate Weblogic 10. xdomain/server than where OSB is installed.
Error Im getting is
weblogic.jms.common.JMSException: Connection not found.
Rgds,

I have a similar situation
My connection factory and queue is define on SOA Suite 11g WL Server instance with jndi name as jms/demoCF and jms/demoQueue
Now when i try to refer this queue from OSB WL server instance using the Proxy Service and url as
jms://localhost:7001/jms.dempCF/jms.demoQueue ...its not able to pick the message.
I tried using jms://localhost:7001/jms/dempCF/jms/demoQueue (know this will never work but still wanted to give a shot).
Can anyone help me in formatting the correct URL to read the message from the queue?
Thanks

SOA 11g and JMS cannot write to queue

I have a process which will read from a queue (works fine), but trying to write to a queue never posta a record. I am using the JMS adapter. The write operation in the console shows it was successful . I am using a non-XA data source. the xa worked, but I have my own error handling which the XA does not work with.
Maybe the non-xa is not doing a commit on wirte?

Getting BEA-170011 error in soa, osb, bam servers

Dear Friends,
i am getting below error in the soa, osb and bam servers,
<BEA-170011> <The LogBroadcaster on this server failed to broadcast log messages to the admin server. The Admin server may not be running. Message broadcasts to the admin server will be disabled.>
please tell me how to fix this.
Thanks & Regards,
Pavan.

I am able to telnet the IP and port of this webservice from my machineThat confirms the webservice is up, to confirm you have connectivity from osb to the webservice you need to telnet from the host that's running osb to the IP and port of that webservice...
Do you have a proxy configured on start up properties of the osb? Look for things like -Dhttp.proxyHost=192.4.229.194 -Dhttp.proxyPort=80 into the setDomainEnv.sh(cmd) script...
If the server is internal, you may need to add id to the non-proxy hosts...

OSB on Sun solaris and JMS Reporting

Dear all,
When I install OSB and configure domain for OSB on Sun solaris, I encounter error when start manage-server:

So it seems like I have to use RCU for create table but there is no version for sun solaris.
Please kindly help how to solve this issue. I use Sun Solaris 64bit

RCU is available for Windows & linux platforms only but it can be used to create schema's on remote databases as well. So in case your DB is on non Linux/Windows platform, then run RCU from any machine with Linux/Windows plaform and create schema's on remote database.

1 Admin console to manage OSB and SOA installed on different servers

Dear All,
We are planning to have OSB installed on Host 1 and SOA server installed on Host 2. But there will be one Admin console to manage these 2 for the ease of maintenance. When i was trying to install this configuration I had few issues. Hope SOA experts can help me with the configuration.
1)
As SOA and OSB are installed on 2 different host both the servers must have weblogic installed as pre requisite. So I will have
on host 1:
http://host1:7001/console
http://host1:7001/sbconsole
On host 2:
http://host2:7001/console (this is redundant)
http://host2:8001/soa-infra
2) Is it possible to inactivate http://host2:7001/console ? and add SOA server running on host2 to http://host1:7001/console. In the sense, I would like to control the SOA server from host 1.
Issue No :2
When I create a domain on Host 1 I just get the options for OSB and not SOA. It is obvious as SOA is not installed on Host1. but if that is the case, Is it possible to add SOA server running on host2 to host1. Is it going to be a cluster?
Is this configuration seems realistic? Has anyone implemented. Any pointers please.
Reagrds,
Aani

Seeking recommendations for handling large binary documents with security(preferable) for inbound and outbound scenarios from OSB- SOA and SOA- OSB

Hi,
I am currently working on a project with the following requirements
1. Client transfers binary document (between 1-20MB in size) from OSB proxy to SOA composite to Content Management system
2. Client retrieves binary document (between 1-20MB in size) from Content Management system to SOA composite to OSB proxy
In otherwords, a inbound and outbound integration.
What I have tried so far and my results:
Scenario A
1. Enabled MTOM on SOA composite by attaching wsmtom policy
2. Created an OSB business service and consumed the SOA composite application
3. Enabled MTOM on OSB proxy and business service and configured it to pass by reference
Scenario B
1. Enabled MTOM and security on SOA composite by attaching wsmtom policy and SAML policy
2. Created an OSB business service and consumed the SOA composite application
3. Enabled MTOM on OSB proxy and business service and configured it to pass by reference
I have a demo integration setup that writes a binary document to a file using the above steps. My SOA composite has a file adapter that writes the binary data to an external file and it is exposed as a web service with a simple WSDL definition that has an inline XSD schema with an single element of base64binary type. I have added a mediator that maps this base64binary element node to the file adapter's input node.
Result for Scenario A with file size less than 1 MB:
Flawless execution with sub-second response times
Result for Scenario A with file size of 8MB
First attempt: SOA composite faults with database transaction related error, solved by increasing JTA timeout
Second attempt: Flawless execution, but file transfer took over 100 seconds to complete. This is very poor performance and my suspicions are that this cannot be the expected behaviour, but I dont know the internal workings of the SOA composite and why its taking this long.
Result for Scenario B:
The OSB business service does not accept/recognize the SAML policy in the WSDL and suggests to configure OWSM policies manually, but OWSM policy in OSB does not have the wsmtom policy. Regardless of this, any permutation of MTOM + WSS security in this integration scenario either did not work outright or MTOM optimization was not happening ie binary data was materalizing in the message body.
I have only about 3 weeks left to implement a viable solution and the closest ive come to a solution is Scenario A but that +100 second response time for an 8MB file is really worrying.
I would appreciate any level of guidance, recommendations or suggestions as to how I go about tackling this problem.
Thanks
regards,
Johnny

I think this is due to the underlying mechanism of weblogic classloading..
You can contact oracle support @ https://support.oracle.com to report issues. Roughly this is the process .
1- get the Oracle Customer Support Identifier (CSI) for the client you are working for.
2- Create a user profile quoting the CSI. This will send an approval request to oracle support admins at your client.
3- Get the oracle support admins at your client site to approve your request for support access.
4-Once they approve , you can access the support site and raise service requests.

Deployment issue with SOA - OSB 11g environment

Hi,
We have Dev Environment configured with SOA 11g (11.1.1.4) and OSB 11g (11.1.1.4) on a single weblogic domain. Developed SOA composite app and deployed to the SOA Server. We are exposing our SOA Composite thru OSB ( created osb proxy and business services and accessed soa composite from the client. It s working fine ) layer for the client to access it. The issue here is while deploying it to the production environment (configured OSB and SOA in two separate WL domain) located offshore.
What i saw from the soa doc is that we need to deploy SOA composite to the SOA Server and OSB Configuration to the OSB Server.
but the offshore person is asking us to deploy both SOA composite & osb to the same OSB Server as an .ear file.
Is it possible to deploy both SOA composite & osb to the same osb server ? is there any document on project that involve both soa and osb.
please guide me how to do the deployment
I appreciate all your help.
thanks
sumesh.j

I am wondering if could able to solve the problem of deploying both SOA composite & osb to the same osb server. Even I am facing the same problem....
If you could able to solve the problem then please let us know the steps that you have followed to solve the same.

Coherence, OSB and SOA integration

Hi,
I have a WL domain, that consists on a SOA cluster and a OSB cluster. I want to have external cache servers, as it is the preferred option provided by Oracle, so I have external processes which starts a cache, loads data from database, and create a Coherence cluster.
I have tried different options for deployment and havinfg issues with all of them.
In my domain (FMW 11.1.1.6), I have not deployed the coherence libs, as they are included in the server modules. I start the external process, which points to the coherence lib in FMW_MODULES, and load everything. So far so good. When I start the managed servers for OSB cluster and SOA clusters I get a lot of errors, like:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No scheme for cache: "/soa-infra/deployment/members/mydomain_development_soa_cluster"
I don't know if I should create different coherence clusters, one for my apps, and one for built in OSB+SOA functionality, or I could use the same. If I use the same, where should I put cache configurations, and where can I see built in cache definitions.
If I should create a new cluster for my functionality, how could I do it, knowing that I will not be bundling only J2EE apps, but also global libraries, and security providers using these coherence infrastructure.
Do I need activecache for anything?
Documentation is not very clear.
Thanks for your support.

Thanks for your support.Hi,
Oracle SOA Suite 11g leverages an embedded Coherence cache to coordinate several cluster-wide activities including composite deployment. Coherence cache-config is pre-defined for SOA Cluster, and all SOA composite application will inherit this. This cache-config is zipped in fabric-runtime.jar with the name of soa-coherence-cache-config.xml and tangosol-coherence-override.xml is also included in fabric-runtime.jar that enforces SOA server to use soa-coherence-cache-config.xml. Now you have 2 options to make it work,
1) Make managed servers join the external Coherence cluster as storage-disabled nodes: In order to accomplish it, you need to ensure that the configuration (soa-coherence-cache-config.xml and tangosol-coherence-override.xml) used by cache servers are same as used by SOA Suite(except, storage flag). Also, note that you need to merge your cache server configuration into soa-coherence-cache-config.xml because SOA Suite requires all the caches that are predefined in soa-coherence-cache-config.xml and reference this merged configuration file in you cache server and also in SOA cluster by modifying tangosol-coherence-override.xml
2) Managed Servers access the Coherence cluster as extend clients: In order to accomplish it, modify soa-coherence-cache-config.xml and add remote-scheme to access the external Coherence cluster. You need to ensure that you provide a tangosol-coherence-override.xml to your cache servers so that they form a seperate cluster and not try joining the SOA Suite cluster.
You are getting the error:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No scheme for cache: "/soa-infra/deployment/members/mydomain_development_soa_cluster"Your coherence cluster is using the same multicast ip/port for this cluster as used by the SOA Coherence cluster on startup but a different configuration file is used by your Coherence cluster than soa-coherence-cache-config.xml.
Try following option1 and it should help solve your problem.
Please note, modifying fabric-runtime.jar is not recommended by Product Management and is just a work around. Also, I would suggest you to understand licensing from Oracle Sales Rep.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
NJ

Using socket and JMS protocol in the same logic for OSB

Hi frnds,
In my organization...the only communication protocol used is "socket" protocol. However, I want to use JMS protocol to process incoming messages. Can somebody help me figuring out how to go about it.
Using some nice OSB blogs, I am able to create the JMS connection factory and JMS queues in weblogic. And that works fine when I select the communication protocol as JMS while creating the BS and PS.
What should be my message flow when the communication protocol used is "socket" for both BS and PS.
salil

Hi,
Make the BS as JMS and the PS as socket, in the PS's flow do a route for the BS... Then if an external call is made to the PS via socket, it will send a messages to a JMS queue...
Hope this helps...
Cheers,
Vlad

Schema Centralization: Among OSB, SOA Suite1 and SOA Suite2

Gurus,
I want to implement a schema centralization pattern for a hypothetical scenario which is as follows:
Consider a company xyz inc. which has an OSB, SOA Suite1 (Finance dept has a dedicated soa suite) and SOA Suite2 (this is common integration platform) installations in their production environment.
I would like to design canonical schemas for business objects for xyz inc. and since they are shared across all the services, i would like to store them centrally so that changes can be easily propagated to all the services using them.
Oracle suggests using MDS for SOA Suite for storing common artifacts.
However, these artifacts can only be locally referred by composite apps (using oramds: references) deployed on that SOA Suite installation.
The question is what is the best practice around sharing such common artifacts across soa suite installations and OSB installations.
Is http server a good idea for this? Hi
Can OSB refer to artifacts using HTTP URLs at runtime without referring them locally? (I am not an expert on OSB so apology if the question is too naive.)
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide on this.
With kind regards-
Ashish

Hi Eric,
Thanks for your quick response.
I was just scouting for information around this and I came across a concept of Resource Servlet -- "http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e15867/configuringandusingservices.htm#i1143285" in OSB.
So, how about the next configuration? --
Instead of using http server as in your case, can we not use OSB Reource Servlet URL to refer to the artifacts of sharedResources project?
That way we can avoid overhead of maintaining HTTP server and a sync job.
With your experience, what's your take on this configuration?
Thanks-
Ashish

OSB and SOA Server (Mediator) Design question

As OSB is the strategic ESB and is used for external services does it make sense that all communication must go out via the OSB.
For example if I have a request that comes in gets routed through the OSB and then calls a backend composite which contains a BPEL that sits on the Oracle SOA server that calls multiple external services (CRM, SAP etc..) Would all the calls out from the BPEL then go back to the OSB and out to the external services (via proxy/business services.) This seems to add a lot of network hops to the whole architecture.
I can't really seem to find a diagram to explain this but an external service consumer could call the Oracle SOA stack that will come in via the OSB (for security gateway as OWSM 11g doesn't support gateway yet.) Then get transformed into the CDM and then passed on to the Oracle SOA server that has a composite service with BPEL that orchestrates multiple calls to internal and external services. The external ones requiring a transformation back into the service providers format.
How does this flow work?

If you are talking to external B2B systems you should use the Oracle B2B Server, have a look at this link,
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/integration.1111/e10229/b2b_intro.htm#CEGGAGJA
Section 1.6 in there gives a good example of doing just that. The OSB mediator is responsible for talking between CDM's in this case so it does some internal work, within one CDM set of services and then when ready the mediator translates from CDM to the format needed for the B2B. The B2B Server then does all the clever stuff needed to talk to the B2B partner.
In the internal case where the call is within the Enterprise the Oracle documentation states that there may be cases when doing this translation from CDM to legacy format may take place within the SOA server but recommends that it is normally done using the mediator in the same way as with partner calls. The 11g developer documentation states "The stated direction by Oracle is for the Oracle Service Bus to be the preferred ESB for interactions outside the SOA Suite. Interactions within the SOA Suite may sometimes be better dealt with by the Oracle Mediator component in the SOA Suite, but we believe that for most cases, the Oracle Service Bus will provide a better solution and so that is what we have focused on within this book."
Just what those exceptions are is an interesting question. If you have a CDM and all of your legacy world has translators you will spend all of your time hoping up to the mediator and back down maybe that is the exception. If everything is using the mediator then the SOA orchestration power is lost. If on the other hand most of your system lives within a canonical schema and there is one exception perhaps you make it pay the price for non-conformance.

Running OSB and SOA Suite as Windows Services? Node Manager

Hi,
Based on our current hardware configuration, we need to deploy our SOA Managed Server and Admin Server on the same machine as our OSB. Currently for development we just start the servers using the start scripts and keep a window open for them (3 of them: 1 - admin, 1 - soa_server1, and 1 - OSB.) We want to be able to run these as services and allow the admins to log out of the box. It seems like the Node Manager would allow us to do that but can we configure our Windows server to have a Node Manager running for the OSB and another for the SOA stuff on the same box? Do we even need to do that? Can we have a single Node Manager manage all three on port 5556?
I hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance for any quick responses.

Definitely you can (should) have a single node manager. You may refer below links -
