SOA Suite & BPEL 2

Hi folks
I thought SOA Suite 11g was BPEL 2 compliant, but when I check the BPEL activities, I don't find activities such as forEach, repeatUntil, reThrow or extensionActivity.
1.- Will these "extensions"...and the others... be included in the final release?
2.- If so, what about migration from 10g to 11g?
Dominique

Hi Heidi
When you say "high on the list of priorities", do you mean we can expect it for the TP5 ?
Concerning the migration, I'm not sure that just changing a namespace will be enough. Migrating from BPEL 1 to BPEL 2 is not straightforward. For example, if I use a flowN and plan to replace it with a forEach, in order to be standard-compliant, I guess I'll have to do the job myself, right ? (and that's an easy case).

File/ftp adapters in SOA Suite (BPEL/ESB) 10.1.3.x

Questions below are relative to SOA Suite 10.1.3.3 adapters:
1. In creating a File Read/Write adapter - how can I specify a variable portion of the file name - can XPath expressions be used. I know that in specifing the file name one uses a %---% but want to make the rest of the file name flexible as well.
2. If I am going to use SFTP - how is that done as opposed to simple FTP?
Thanks - Casey

Why OSB not Oracle SOA Suite BPEL ?

Hello,
Same task we can perform in composites of Oracle SOA 11g then why we use OBS ? Can't we perform the same task via mediator in Oracle SOA Suite 11g ?

see :
http://www.slideshare.net/gschmutz/oracle-soa-suite-11g-mediator-vs-oracle-service-bus-osb
OSB vs SOA suite
a lot of discussions have already been made so, the list of answers should be there :)

Is it possible to execute OS commands/files on remote server using SOA Suite/BPEL , just like we have JCA adapter File/FTP to exchange files across servers ?

I am working on technical process automation requirement wherein files need to be exchanged and executed as well , SOA workflow capabilities are helping but I could not find a way to remote OS comman execution yet.
Please help.
Thanks

The whole idea of SOA is to run web services located anywhere. So I believe if you can expose the runtime in remote servers as services then you will be able to call those services like any other web service.
Or if you requirement is to execute files on the SOA server itself then you can use the java embedding activity.

SOA Suite BPEL to OSB

I am trying to create a simple proof of concept that calls OSB from a BPEL Process. I created a WSDL with an EchoService in OSB, I then created a partner link with the WSDL. When using the BPEL Debug Console I get an error:

Try this wsdl for your OSB service. This assumes that you are running OSB on port 7021.
It will create a service called Echo.

Another bug in Oracle Soa Suite 11gR3 (bpel workflow)

Hello,
I am getting an error that i guess be a bug in soa suite (bpel human task workflow).
I created a simple workflow that have three human task (three steps of approval):
1 ) I deployed the project
2) I invite a requisition for the bpel through SoapUI
3) I access the worklistapp application and make login using the user approver1
4) I click at Approve button. It works.
5) When i logout and login using the user approver2 (second human task - second level of approval) the requistion is there, but when i click in task the bellow exception is throwed:
Obs.: If i restart my weblogic server, and access the worklistapp with the user approver2 (again). It Works.
Question: Should I always restart the Weblogic Server for each step in a workflow ? If my bpel have 5 human tasks, i have to do 5 restarts on the weblogic server for work ?
Anyone has the same bug ?

Thank you, Tomasz!
That really works! I'll add example of changes to DataBinding.cpx because it is not so obvious what to do after renaming package and applying automatic refactoring (that doesn't fix all what it should fix).
Assuming we've renamed the package from bpm3 to bpm3.db3
Before changes:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Application xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adfm/application"
version="11.1.1.60.13" id="DataBindings" SeparateXMLFiles="false"
Package="bpm3.db3" ClientType="Generic">
<pageMap>
<page path="/taskDetails1.jspx" usageId="bpm3_taskDetails1PageDef"/>
</pageMap>
<pageDefinitionUsages>
<page id="bpm3_taskDetails1PageDef"
path="bpm3.db3.pageDefs.taskDetails1PageDef"/>
</pageDefinitionUsages>
<dataControlUsages>
*<dc id="ApproveForm3_ApproveTask3" path="bpm3.ApproveForm3_ApproveTask3"/>*
</dataControlUsages>
</Application>
After:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Application xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adfm/application"
version="11.1.1.60.13" id="DataBindings" SeparateXMLFiles="false"
Package="bpm3.db3" ClientType="Generic">
<pageMap>
<page path="/taskDetails1.jspx" usageId="bpm3_db3_taskDetails1PageDef"/>
</pageMap>
<pageDefinitionUsages>
<page id="bpm3_db3_taskDetails1PageDef"
path="bpm3.db3.pageDefs.taskDetails1PageDef"/>
</pageDefinitionUsages>
<dataControlUsages>
*<dc id="ApproveForm3_ApproveTask3" path="bpm3.db3.ApproveForm3_ApproveTask3"/>*
</dataControlUsages>
</Application>
Really what is changed:
- <dc id="ApproveForm3_ApproveTask3" path="bpm3.ApproveForm3_ApproveTask3"/>
+ <dc id="ApproveForm3_ApproveTask3" path="bpm3.db3.ApproveForm3_ApproveTask3"/>

BPEL PM, BPM, BPEL in SOA Suite - what's the diff?

Hi
I read many blogs, one blog says all are same, other says each is diff. I've got some idea on what each of these offers. But pls clarify.
I'm really confused of the terminology that oracle uses for BPEL PM, BPM, BPEL in SOA Suite.
I'm aware of BPEL that comes with the SOA Suite installation, we develop, deploy and maintain BPEL flows using JDev.
Now, what's this BPEL Process Manager, that is listed in the products section, seperately from SOA Suite? Does it contain anything diff from the BPEL engine that is embedded in SOA Suite?
And What's Business Process Management(BPM). As far as i know, and could think of, is that BPM is a tool for modelling business applications. It is similar to the BPEL in SOA Suite PLUS Modelling capability of the business process. It even has the same components as in SOA SUite like BPEL, Business Rules, Human Flows, Mediators, Adaptors.
So, can we say, BPM = SOA Suite + Modelling capabilities of business process.
To summarise, would you please summarise the components that each of these provide
BPEL Process Manager -- BPEL, _(and what other componens)_
SOA SUite -- BPEL, Bus. Rules, Human Flows, Mediators, Adapters
BPM -- Modelling notations, BPEL, Bus. Rules, Human Flows, Mediators, Adapters
If BPEL exists in all the three, Is the engine that runs it also the same one in all three..?

Hi
1. Yes, your understanding is absolutely correct: BPM = SOA Suite + Modelling capabilities of business process. I hope you know little bit of history behind this BPM product and about BEA and Oracle company. Below is some non-technical information about these companies and the products they owned.
2. Originally I guess, Oracle had SOA Suite like 10g running on their own Oracle application server. It may have had some basic components like human tasks, mediators some basic business rules etc. During the same time around 2006 to 2008 another company by name BEA has Weblogic Application Server and had another full blown process development applications/software. BEA in turn bought from Plumtree like that. Anyhow they had full stack of products like ALBPM (Aqua Logic Business Process Management), ALUI (Aqua Logic UI Portal), ALDSP (Data Integrator), ALSB (AL Service Bus), ALES (AL Enterprise Security) etc. Then Oracle bought BEA Company and Oracle ended up owning all these products. Oracle spent good amount of money, people and technology and did an awesome job in integrating BEAs ALBPM with their own SOA software and put everything on top of Weblogic Application Server. For a while, soa and bpm existed parallely. Like we can install albpm on top of soa like that. But SOA 11g onwards SOA + BPM are completely integrated and provided as a single product. They are not separate any more. We can call that as SOA Suite or BPM Suite. But as you understand, they had all the stuff to create a full blown process application that includes core BPEL Process, tasks, mediators, adapters, email adapters everything. Customers buy this suite of produt. They can develop simple BPEL Process or complex BPM Applications. The advanced features for BPM you can find online like adding Swimlanes/Roles where we can literally drag and drop the Human Tasks in those roles and that takes care of everything.
Oracle retained and rebranded other products like ALSB (Oracle Service Bus), ALES (something like identity management) etc .
In conclusion, your understanding is correct. Now there is only BPM or SOA (use any word) that includes everything and that runs on Weblogic Application Server.

Errors while Starting SOA Suite and Unable to login to BPEL Control

Hi,
I installed SOA Suite 10g Release 3 on my laptop and I have Windows XP operating system on my laptop.
I am trying to login to BPEL control.
I did following steps.
a) started SOA Suite (Mid tier status is showing as 100%) but OC4JGroup:default_group status is showing as Init and ASG status as Down.
b) I tried to login to BPEL control by entering user id: oc4jadmin and password I entered while installing SOA Suite, BPEL control is giving me error message invalid user name or password.
I tried to build CreditRatingService using BPEL developer prompt.
Select Start > All Programs > Oracle - Oracle_Home > Oracle BPEL Process Manager > Developer Prompt to open up a command prompt at the SOA_Oracle_Home\bpel\samples directory.
Changed directories to the utils\CreditRatingService subdirectory:
cd utils\CreditRatingService
Entered the following command: ant
I got message:BUILD FAILED and Authentication failed for user oc4jadmin on host.

Shanti Nagulapalli.

Get Custom SOAP Header Value in SOA Suite 11.1.1.6 using BPEL 1.1

Hi Experts,
We are using SOA Suite 11.1.1.6 and in one of the projects we have requirement to retrieve custom SOAP header value.
This is enhancement to existing process which is developed using BPEL 1.1 and deployed to Production. So we cannot convert this now to BPEL 2.0
We suggested to use custom XML element in Header the definition of which will be defined in custom XSD and stored in common location. However the 3rd party who are invoking this service will not be able to do any customization in their process to pass custom XML header.
Please can you help me in providing any approach through which we can retrieve custom Header value from SOAP header using BPEL 1.1
I have read some blogs for retrieving the custom XML header but they are using BPEL 2.0. I would like achieve this functionality using BPEL 1.1
Appreciate your inputs.
Thanks in Advance - RK

Hello RK,
Have you've tried to put the bpex:outputHeaderVariable on the invoke activity of the invoked service.
<invoke name="Invoke"
bpelx:outputHeaderVariable="HeaderVariable"/>
Where the "HeaderVariable" reflects the XSD Datastructure of the received header.
This is also specified here in section 6.19.1 How to Receive SOAP Headers in BPEL
Please note that the exact header must be specified in the WSDL of the invoked service.
Also note that in case of a soap fault. No header will be returned from the invoked service but only a /soap/body/fault part.
Good luck!

Read only access for bpel console in SOA Suite 10.1.3.5.1(weblogic)

Hi
For SOA Suite 10.1.3.5.1 on weblogic, Is there any way to restrict certain users to some pages in bpel console.. e.g. read only access to bpel console.
I have found articles on web regarding this but they all are for SOA Suite 10.1.3.3 (and 3.4) on Oracle app server. Article provides a hack by using servlet filters.
How to do a similar thing in SOA Suite 10.1.3.5.1 on weblogic ?
Can somebody provide step by step instructions?
Thanks

Hi James,
I have already seen this link and several refined versions of it but it wont work for weblogic. For example
There is no j2ee/oc4j_soa/applications/orabpel/console directory (i looked into home directory as well but could not found orabpel/console dir).
So question is where to put filter class and how to make changes in web.xml as this file is not present in j2ee/oc4j_soa/applications/orabpel/console/WEB-INF/
I checked deployments in weblogic admin console and seems BPELConsole is deployed as a module under BPELPM ear.
Any idea?
Thanks.

Truncate all Instances in SOA SUITE 11g BPEL SOAINFRA SCHEMA

Hi Guys!
We are running Oracle SOA SUITE 11g + BPEL, Version 11.1.1.3.0 (PS2)
We running out of disk space issues in a database due to large number of test instances in dehydration storage.
Is there any way to TRUNCATE all tables in order to clean up instances from BPEL engine (SOAINFRA schema)
Oracle provides this functionality (purge scripts and implemented procedures in a database) but this is a deleting approach and it doesn't work with millions of instances in a storage. Deleting instances from GUI doesn't work at all.
1. We are looking the way to truncate all instances in a database rather then delete them which takes ages and doesn't work properly in case of huge amount of instances.
2. We would like wipe out all instances without any time restrictions.
Any feedback, script from you guys would be much appreciated.
Cheers!!

Hi,
There still no solution for truncating tables. Looks like we have to look into Oracle's procedures in delivered with SOA SUITE installation.
I posted an article about deleting large number of instances in SOA Suite 11g. It does the job in a pretty fast way.

Java Embedding bug in SOA Suite 11g BPEL??

I am beginning to wonder if there is a 'bug' in the SOA Suite 11g, BPEL, Java Embedding activity? Need some help as soon as possible – does the Java Embedding activity work in SOA Suite 11g?
Have tried the following on Jdev 11.1.1.1 and Jdev 11.1.1.3 – get the same error message (see below for error message).
Thanks for any help - Casey
I created a simple composite app by:
1.     Created a Composite with BPEL Process
2.     Created a BPEL variable by the name of Variable and a Simple Type of string      ({http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}string)
3.     Added an Assign activity (Assign_1) and assigned the value of “Test Var” to the variable Variable using a Copy operation.
4.     Then, after the assign activity, added a Java Embedding activity (Java_Embedding_1) with Java Version set to 1.5 and the following code:
+try{+*
String var;*
var=(String)getVariableData(Variable);*
System.out.println(var);*
+} // end try+
+catch(Exception ex){+*
System.out.println(ex.getMessage());*
+}// end catch+
Compiled and got the following error message:

The class path setting is incorrect.*
Ensure that the class path is set correctly. If this happens on the server side, verify that the custom classes or jars which this BPEL process is depending on are deployed correctly. Also verify that the run time is using the same release/version.*

Performance tuning of BPEL processes in SOA Suite 11g

Hi,
We are working with a customer for performance tuning of SOA Suite 11g, one of the areas is to tune the BPEL processes. I am new to this and started out with stress testing Hello World process using SOAPUI tool. I would like help with the below topics -
1. How do I interpret the statistics collected during stress testing? Do we have any benchmark set that can indicate that the performance is ok.
2. Do we need to run stress tests for every BPEL process deployed?
2. Is there any performance tuning strategy documentation available? Or can anybody share his/her experiences to guide me?
Thanks in advance!
Sritama

1. How do I interpret the statistics collected during stress testing? Do we have any benchmark set that can indicate that the performance is ok.
You need
pay attention to:
java heap usage vs java heap capacity
java eden usage vs java eden capacity
JDBC pool initial connections vs JDBC pool capacity connections
if you are using linux: top
if you are using aix: topas
2. Do we need to run stress tests for every BPEL process deployed?
yes, you need test each BPEL. You can use "Jmeter" tool.
Download Jmeter from here: Apache JMeter - Apache JMeter&trade;
Other tools:
jstat
jstack
jps -v
Enterprise Manager
WebLogic Console
VisualVM
JRockit Mission Control
3. Is there any performance tuning strategy documentation available? Or can anybody share his/her experiences to guide me?
I recommend "Oracle SOA Suite 11g Performance Tuning Cookbook" http://www.amazon.com/Oracle-Suite-Performance-Tuning-Cookbook/dp/1849688842/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1378482031&sr=8-1&keywords=oracle+soa+suite+11g+performance+tuning+cookbook

I am using JDevelpoer 10.1.3.5 and SOA Suite 10g. Please help me to figure it out.
Thanks

Make sure you use the similar version of soa suite and JDev 10135. If you are using JDev 10.1.3.5, your soa suite version should be 10.1.3.5. I was just wondering if you were ever able to deploy any other process successfully from the similar JDev and on similar SOA Suite ? If not you need to revisit your soa suite installation again.
Also check the log files on the server to see if any errors are recorded.

Error deploying BPEL process on SOA Suite 11g

Hi,
We have installed SOA Suite 11g (Weblogic 10.3.1.0) on Windows.
I'm trying to deploy a simple BPEL Process on this SOA Suite through JDeveloper 11.1.1.1.0 Studio.
However I'm getting the following error:

Please let me know in case anybody has faced this issue.
Thanks,
Makrand

Hi, it´s a little late, but it may help to someone else.
I just got the same error on deployment and realized i was going through a proxy server, who was responding with a http 503 code to deployment request from JDeveloper. Just check your proxy settings under Tools->Preferences->Web Browser and proxy and add an exception if needed.
I also had to restart JDeveloper (a bug?) after adding the exception to correct the issue.
regards,
Pedro.
