Some questions with respect to OSB 11g

Hi,
I am quite new to OSB 11g and have some queries.
1. If a SOA Composite transaction has been rolled back, how would be reflected in OSB. Would there be any retries?
2. For a composite to use a proxy service, is it a must to use a direct binding reference of OSB? Can't SOA composite simply consider a proxy service a generic web service?
3. Where are the debugging information written to? Can you control what is written to the debugging file? Can you specify filters,level of severity? Can you specify what context variables?
4. Does OSB only runs on WLS and is therefore not hot pluggable on other app servers?
5. One can create, attach WS-policies to my WSDL web services and enforce them on WLS all without using OWSM. If this is possible then what is the role of OWSM?
I would really appreciate any help with these queries.
Regards
Priya.

1. If a SOA Composite transaction has been rolled back, how would be reflected in OSB. Would there be any retries?
If you are calling an OSB Proxy from a SOA Composite and the transaction is terminated and rolled back from SOA Composite then OSB transaction will also be terminated and an error will be logged on OSB side. For retrying I am not sure but there should be an option in the SOA suite composite to retry.
2. For a composite to use a proxy service, is it a must to use a direct binding reference of OSB? Can't SOA composite simply consider a proxy service a generic web service?
SOA Suite composite can directly call a WSDL based Proxy Service as a generic web service. I believe it It should also be possible to invoke an XML/HTTP (Any XML Proxy Service) from SOA Suite composite. Although Direct Binding is the preferred option because of performance and security reasons.
3. Where are the debugging information written to? Can you control what is written to the debugging file? Can you specify filters,level of severity? Can you specify what context variables?
Debug information will be written into the WLS log files by default. You can log any information you want (context variables or custom data) from a Proxy Service message flow using Log action. You can control the severity of log in the Log Action.
You can define what level of Logs will be actually written to the log file and set any custom filters on Logs in the WLS Console (Home>Servers>{Your server Name}>Logging>Advanced).
If you want to enable specific debug logging at the server level(for ex if you want to log transaction details by default), you can do so by enabling needed debug logging at (Home>Servers>{Your server Name}>Debug)
4. Does OSB only runs on WLS and is therefore not hot pluggable on other app servers?
Yes OSB is only certified for WLS.
5. One can create, attach WS-policies to my WSDL web services and enforce them on WLS all without using OWSM. If this is possible then what is the role of OWSM?
Biggest difference is of Scope. You can very well attach WS Policies to services in OSB but their scope will only be of OSB. OWSM can do so at an enterprise level across various applications. OWSM also provides end to end security and SLA monitoring, easier update of Policies across enterprise etc. For more details on OWSM check out this white paper:

[Urgent] Some questions about OID/OSSO 10g - 11g upgrade

Dear all,
We are under doing upgrading assessment of OID/OSSO 10g to 11g for a customer. After reviewed the 'upgrading guide', we still have some questions as below:
1.     Whether the ‘10g DIP profiles’ will be still available after the OID 11g upgrade? Currently there are some sync of AD<->OID and DB->OID.
2.     Whether the ‘WNA’ function will still work after the upgrade?
3.     Is there a big change of OID API from 10g to 11g? If so, I think a big effort maybe on application modification.
4.     I found that there is a OAM Basic version for OSSO 10g upgrade. So if this OAM Basic will migrate the OSSO configuration (like external application) automatically, or it must be re-configed after the upgrade?
5.     Currently customer config OID 10g as BPEL/ESB’s identity store. So does BPEL/ESB 10g is certificated with OID 11g also? I didn’t find the certification so far.
Thank you in advance and any comment are welcome.

[Urgent] Some questions about Oracle Portal 10g - 11g upgrade

Dear friends,
We are under doing upgrading assessment of Oracle Portal from 10g to 11g. After reviewed the 'upgrading guide', we still have some questions as below:
1. Whether the 'Instant Portal' feature remain in Oracle Portal 11g? If yes, how to migrate the Instant Portal 10g sites? If no, any workaround?
2. Whether the old 10g Page Group and Pages will be still available after 11g upgrade? Also can customer import the old 10g transportset into Portal 11g?
3. How about the customized Portal 10g objects (such as customized template, style, attributes) after 11g upgrade? Still be usable?
4. Customer use PDK to develop many portlets in 10g. Can they use JDeveloper 11g to migrate their old project to 11g automatically?
Thank you in advance and any comment are welcome.

1. Whether the 'Instant Portal' feature remain in Oracle Portal 11g? If yes, how to migrate the Instant Portal 10g sites? If no, any workaround?Instant Portal is not available anymore in Oracle Portal 11g. The Instant Portal page groups will be migrated to standard Portal page groups. Maintenance of the Instant Portal can be done with the standard Portal tools. The Instant Portal tools are not available anymore.
Whether the old 10g Page Group and Pages will be still available after 11g upgrade? Also can customer import the old 10g transportset into Portal 11g?Old 10g Page Groups are migrated to Portal 11g. They will still be available after the upgrade.
Export/Import through transports sets has always been limited to instances of the same version. It is not supported between versions as documented in the Administration Guide :
[11.2.1|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/portal.1111/e10239/cg_imex.htm#CCJBCCGD] System Requirements
Before exporting and importing content, ensure that your system meets the minimum system requirements, as described in this section.
Notes:
* Export and import functions only within the same release of Oracle Portal and the same patch release, for example, release 10.1.4 to release 10.1.4 or release 11.1.1 to release 11.1.1. You cannot export and import between two different releases, such as release 10.1.2 to release 10.1.4 or release 10.1.4 to release 11.1.1.
How about the customized Portal 10g objects (such as customized template, style, attributes) after 11g upgrade? Still be usable?Customized objects get migrated as well. Certain types (e.g. PL/SQL item types) need to be checked after upgrade as the behavior of the PL/SQL code may differ between database versions. This is particularly of concern when the 10.1.4.x Portal uses a 10.1 database. A database upgrade to either 10.2, 11.1 or 11.2 is necessary as Portal 11g is not supported with RDBMS 10.1.
Customer use PDK to develop many portlets in 10g. Can they use JDeveloper 11g to migrate their old project to 11g automatically?Never done this, but the Portal framework is able to consume JPDK providers which are running in older versions of the toolkit. If the providers are running in standalone OC4J containers, you would be able to upgrade the framework and keep the providers in their OC4J containers. This will allow you to focus on the framework first and worry about your providers later.
Thanks,

Some questions with install paths and reporting

I have some questions that i would like to ask
The first is regarding the installation path of the silverlight client when it is published, where is it located, is there a way to customize your application so that the user can specify an install directory , or a way to update the web.config with
the install directory....
Second question is , in development I am able to create a report, with report viewer using the localhost address of the silverlight client server side. but when i publish it, the address is no longer found. Is there another way I can go about doing
a report of the data in my sliverlight client application ? if so can i get some suggestions , I do know about some of the 3rd party extensions but none of them that I know of are free and I do not have the means right now to get them....
this is all for a 2- tier Desktop silverlight client application.
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
David.

I wanted to know if i can TELL lightswitch application to install when im running it after it being publised . or where it is installed to after first run of the application.....
as far as Reporting goes and as far as I know DEVEXPRESS no longer supports lightswitch so there is no way for me to get ahold of the xtra reports extension ... please update your knowledge base and offer another solution..
HI David,
Thanks for your response.
From your description above, I think this issue is related to your deployment procedure, you can also customize your deployment path. For this issue, I'd like to suggest you to check it again, you can refer to this article. See:
Deploy a Two-tier LightSwitch Application
If you want to use report extension in lightswitch application, you can learn relevant topics about report extension in Lightswitch forum.
Hope it helps you.Best regards,

hello everyone.
I come to some questions like
1 What is a batch input session ,
2 What is the alternative to batch input session?
3 An ABAP program creates a batch input session.   We need to submit the program and the batch session in back ground. How to do it?
   would you please help me with the questions, couldn't thank you more.

Hi
Batch Input Session:
BATCH INPUT SESSION is an intermediate step between internal table
and database table. Data along with the action is stored in session
ie data for screen fields, to which screen it is passed, program
name behind it, and how next screen is processed.
Three processing modes of executing Batch Input Session :-
Run Visibly : You can correct faulty transactions online & work step-by-step through the transactions not yet executed.
Display Errors only : You can correct faulty transactions online.   Transactions not yet executed, but without error, run in the background.
Run in Background .
2) What is the alternative to batch input session?
Call transaction.
3) An ABAP program creates a batch input session. We need to submit the program and the batch session in back ground. How to do it?
go to SM36 and create background job by giving

Functionality Questions With Respect To OSS Hint 1009567

Hello,
we are to develop a print job and are thinking about using adobe interactive forms technology .
Nevertheless, we are a bit reluctant, as reading the OSS hint 1009567 which states the functional differences between SAP interactive forms and smart forms we are not sure whether the following required functionality would be covered by SAP Interactive Forms.
It would be great if someone would be able to tell us whether the following requirements can be met using SAP Interactive Forms within a print job, i.e. ABAP level, no use of Web Dynpro :
- total amount of pages:
The information of the total amount of pages of a print out is needed on the first page as it needs to be encoded within a barcode
   on the first page (refering to OSS hint 1009567 nr 1)
- count copies
   It must be possible to count copies, is this possible? (refering to OSS hint 1009567 nr 3)
- Styles
Furthermore I have some questions to hint 1009567:
-within nr 4 it is stated that final windows are not supported. What are final windows?

sorry, I was not yet finished and somehow posted the message accidentally: Here now the complete version

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

Question with respect to a report painter report : tcode S_ALR_87100190

Hi All,
I had a problem with the transaction S_ALR_87100190. With this transaction meant for Actual/Plan/Var Project + Responsible,
in the report selections for From Period/year and To Period/year, the system was not accepting special periods but was only accepting posting periods.
Hence the sap report was copied to another report and the fields Fiscal year and Period were added separately in order to solve the problem.
But now, after specifying the above two fields there seems to be an issue. If we specify the From fiscal year as 2005, from period as 06, To Fiscal year as 2008, To period as 10, it considers only those periods that are between 06 and 10. So if we have a period/fiscal year as 02/2006 that should appear in the report, the system is not picking the entry of 02/2006 in the report.
Does anyone know how the problem could be solved?
Thanks & Regards,

Question with respect to report painter

Hi All,
I needed to copy the standard form 3CST6 which is a drilldown cost report in the standard system that shows the project objects along with the Name of the Responsible Person in the output.
I needed to make a change to the copied report where I had to change the general selection from period / year to fiscal year. Hence I copied the form corresponding to 3CST6, made the change to fiscal year in the form corresponding to 3CST6 and while creating a new project, included the changed form. (copied from 3CST6).
After making the change to fiscal year and then executing the copied report, I do not see the responsible person in the output.
Could anyone help me out with this.

How to do service callout with the incoming JMS message in OSB 11g

Hello All,
I have a specific requirement for which I am creating a kind of POC where I need some help in OSB, however am new to OSB.
My Environment:
1> I have a request queue (deployed on a WLS domain) - WFReq_WS
2> I have a response queue (deployed on a WLS domain) - WFRes_WS
3> I have created a ProxyService (request/response type) in OSB 11g which is simply mapping the incoming message in WFReq_WS to WFRes_WS
4> I have a WebService (it is currently a simple hello WebService for testing) which takes a string and returns the same string with an added 'Hi' in front of it (e.g. If you send Jack, it will return 'Hi Jack')
My Requirement:
1> I have to do some mechanism in OSB, by which while mapping the message from WFReq_WS to WFRes_WS (through the proxy service I have), it will pick the JMS message (which will be a string/text) and will make a service callout to the Webservice I mentioned using the message as the input parameter of the WebService.
2>Now when the response of the WebService will come, OSB should send this response as the message in the response queue (WFRes_WS) I mentioned above.
To simplify the requirement using an example:
A> I will send a text/String message (say Jack) to the request queue (WFReq_WS)
B> OSB should pick the message (Jack) and make a service callout to the webservice
C> webservice will return 'Hi Jack'
D> OSB should send this to the response queue (WFRes_WS)
I know the above might look very basic question to the PROs, but please elaborate (step by step) what need to be done, since I do not know OSB.
Thanks a lot for your help !

Your example points A and D are easily done by having a "Proxy Service" which has the following details:
Service Type = Messaging Service
Request and Response type = Text
Protocol = jms
Endpoint URI = your request queue (format like 'jms://localhost:7013/weblogic.jms.XAConnectionFactory/QueueJNDIName')
Checkmark "response" so that the proxy service automatically delivers the response to another queue - your response queue
Response URI = jms://localhost:7013/weblogic.jms.XAConnectionFactory/QueueResponse
Now since your "Hello" webservice is (probably) a SOAP xml service you need to "convert" your text based JMS message to xml before sending it on to the "Hello" service.
Your JMS proxy can do that by just doing a "Assign <whom>{$body/text()}</whom>" to a variable (lets call it 'reqHello')
Now your JMS proxy should actually call the Hello service and since your JMS proxy is text and the Hello service is SOAP you cannot just "pass" on to the Hello service in a "Route to". Instead you can do a Service Callout where you can specify your "reqHello" variable as payload and a "respHello" as response variable.
Now you have the "<whom>Hi jack</whom>" in the response variable and since the JMS response needs to be text format you can "extract" the text value into the body variable of the JMS proxy (use "replace /* in body with $respHello/text()" - replace node contents)
The actual Hello service is a simple "SOAP" based Proxy Service. Add a pipeline and add a stage in the reponse pipeline. Do a ...
Assign fn:concat("Hi ",$body/whom/text()) to $whomVar
Replace whom in body with $whomVar (replace node contents)

Using OSB 11g with OEPE

Hi,
I have downloaded oepe-galileo-all-in-one-11.1.1.5.0.201003170852-win32 stand-alone from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/oepe/oepe_11115.html?rssid=rss_otn_soft. I am planning to install Oracle Service Bus 11.1.1.3.0 on a remote server and use the OEPE IDE in my local system to develop the proxy and business services to deploy on the remote OSB server. My first question is are there any plugins that need to be installed in OEPE 11.1.1.5.0 to use it as the IDE for OSB ? And how do I connect from the IDE to the remote OSB server?
Or is it a better option to get the OEPE by installing the OSB 11g server and then abandon the installed server and use the OEPE IDE to connect to a remotely installed OSB server? By doing this, will I get all the plugins that I need for the OSB development pre-configured in the OEPE IDE?
Thanks,
sathish

My first question is are there any plugins that need to be installed in OEPE 11.1.1.5.0 to use it as the IDE for OSB ?Yes. While installing the OSB, go to custom options and you should have a choice to install OSB plugins in any pre-existing OEPE. Personally I have not tried this method.
Or is it a better option to get the OEPE by installing the OSB 11g server and then abandon the installed server and use the OEPE IDE to connect to a remotely installed OSB server?I'm not sure what you meant by "OSB 11g server" but you should use
Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 (10.3.3) + Coherence + OEPE - Package Installer to get the weblogic bundled with OEPE, then install Service Bus (11.1.1.3.0)
on this install. OSB plugins required for OEPE will be installed. Now you can use this OEPE to connect to remote OSB server. This is what I personally prefer.
By doing this, will I get all the plugins that I need for the OSB development pre-configured in the OEPE IDE?Yes.
