Synchronous BPEL processes and dehydration

Hi all,
I am confused about dehydration behaviour of synchronous BPEL processes.
The BPEL Developer's Guide says:
"Dehydration enables the states of long-running processes to be automatically maintained in a database and correlation of asynchronous messages"
IMHO this means that dehydration is applied to asynchronous BPEL processes only - not to synchronous processes.
On the other hand I found a forum entry Re: dehydration ï¼ saying the following:
"Dehydration can optionally be disabled for synchronous flows"
which means that by default synchronous processes will be dehydrated(?).
Can anyone clarify the dehydration behaviour and configuration of synchronous BPEL processes?
Thanks in advance
Ingo

Hi Ingo,
The BPEL Developer's Guide says:
"Dehydration enables the states of long-running processes to be automatically maintained in a database and correlation of asynchronous messages"
This is true, as well as adding a checkpoint() in the Java Embedding Activity will force hydration.
Cheers

Synchronous BPEL process calling apache soap 2.3.1 service(s) on jboss

I have a problem that is quite frustratiing. I have a very simple synchronous BPEL process and I am trying to invoke some legacy services we have deployed using Apache soap 2.3.1 running on jboss. The process executes, the service executes, but the return value is not received by the BPEL process.
I used obtunnel to capture the data flow and everything seems fine from that perspective. The problem is, if you watch the monitor, the status says active, but the BPEL process returns immediately. It does not wait for the response, so the return value winds up being null. I have tried this numerous times with several services and the result is always the same. This is a serious problem for us. Any suggestions/insight would be very much appreciated.
Ina case there are any doubts as to whether or not it is actually a synchronous process, from the BPEL code:

Below is an example from obtunnel:

Unable to get Fault in reply from Synchronous BPEL Process

Hi All,
I am using a synchronous BPEL process which always throws a fault. The structure of this fault message is added to <bpel_process_name>.xsd.
For WSDL faults I have added the following in .wsdl file:
</wsdl:message>
<wsdl:message name="BusinessFault">
<wsdl:part name="payload" element="client:faultarea"/>
</wsdl:message>
<wsdl:portType name="FaultBPELProcess">
<wsdl:operation name="process">
<wsdl:input message="client:FaultBPELProcessRequestMessage"/>
<wsdl:output message="client:FaultBPELProcessResponseMessage"/>
<wsdl:fault message="client:BusinessFault" name="BusinessFault" />
</wsdl:operation>
</wsdl:portType>
Now when I invoke this BPEL process, the fault is thrown and caught by the catch block at main scope. this catch assigns some values to the fault message and returns it back to the calling party.
Fault QName is defined in the reply activity of catch block.
On testing it, the reply never comes back and I can see the following error message in the logs:

Creating a Web Service to handle flow between BPEL process and XML Gateway

I am new to Web Services. I have never created one, yet I have the task of designing the following for a project.
Any help as to what steps I need to take would be very very helpful. There is a lot of information on XML, SOA and WSDL out there that it can get very confusing, and sometimes you just need someone to point the way
What I need to do is create a Custom Send and a Custom Receive Program (both web services) handle the message flow between an Enterprise BPEL processes and a Deployed XML Gateway.
BPEL compresses this XML business object document (for faster transmission), and sends remotely to this Custom Receive web service, which in turn calls a decompress java program and then send the document to the XML gateway inbound web service.
The Custom Send web service does just the opposite. It needs to take the business object document from XML gateway, call the compress java program and then send to the Enterprise BPEL.
In a nutshell...these Custom Send/Receive Web services handle the message flow between the Enterprise BPEL process and the Deployed XML Gateway.
What I need help on...
-Creating this in JDeveloper- where do I get started?
-How does a web service receive a compressed file sent to me via BPEL? Does it just sit there waiting for it?
-Is this a synchronous or asynchronous design?
-Will this be 2 web services (Send and Receive) or do I make 1 with 2 functionalities
-How do I call the java compress/decompress program within the web service? (this java function is already created and ready to be called)
-Is this decompressed business object file an XML schema and an XML message? Or just a message?
-I need to send this to the XML Gateway Web Service to load. How does that work?
-I have a Generic XML Gateway WSDL file...I assume I need to take all the info I get and map it to this template? Is this true? How do I do that?
Like I said, any help would be appreciated. Links answers to my many questions would be fabulous.
-Jason

If you are talking about simple XML transformation of the SOAP payload between the client calling your service and the final destination of the message you are routing, the ESB approach may be a better fit.
If you have more complex transformation in mind, with major processing and rework of the message in the intermediary, you may be better of with using the POJO approach. Write your service and embed a callout to the other service in your implementation. If the two services share the same Java Model, you may even be able to re-use the same Java Bean.
To get SOAP Element instead of Java bean, you just need to use the noDataBinding option with either genProxy and topDownAssemble (or assemble). See the WS-Guide [1] for details. Chapter 18 will give you all the details about the different WSA command line parameters.
Hope this helps,
-Eric

Understanding asynchronous BPEL processes and threading

Hi everybody,
I have a question regarding asynchronous BPEL processes and threading.
I have an asynchronous BPEL process which delivers a message (picked up from a JMS topic) to a repository (via for instance an ICAN server). This transaction must be time-sensitive, i.e. first-in is first-out.
If I have several threads running concurrently I have no guarantee that the messages are delivered in the same order that they where generated. It seems that the suggested way around this problem is to use single-threading.
So here's the part that I do not understand:
An asynchronous request does not wait for a response. If I use single-threading then what happens to that single-thread if for some reason (for instance the ICAN server is not responding) the BPEL instance is dehydrated? Is the thread still allocated for waiting for the first response or does it go back and pick up the next thing on the topic? If the next thing on the topic is picked up then how can I be sure that the messages are delivered in the correct order? If the thread is still allocated to the single instance then does that not kindda go against the whole concept of an asynchronous process?
I hope some one can explain this to me.
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
Mathias
PS. This question is an attempt of a different angle on another forum thread: Asynchronuos BPEL - how to get the order of messages right?

Hi again,
A quick follow up question:
Is there any way to have several BPEL processes running on the same server with different settings for how many threads to use?
It seems that the only way to set number of threads used by BPEL is to use the configuration in the BPEL console? This is an domain setting - which means that all processes deployed to the server is effected the same way?
I am asking because I am facing a scenario where I need one BPEL process to read from a AQ queue (well actually a topic) with a single thread and another BPEL process - deployed to the same BPEL server - to read from the same AQ queue with multiple threads.
Does anyone have any idea of how to do this? Can it be done?
Any suggestions, hints or reference to any documentation would be very much appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Aagaard

BUSINESS RULES WITH SYNCHRONOUS BPEL PROCESS

Hi
I want to know whether i can use Business Rules with Synchronous BPEL process. Actually i developed an example synchronous BPEL process but while invoking decision service it generated an error stating RECEIVE TIMEOUT fault. But when i created identical process in ASYNCHRONOUS mode it went through without any error.
Thanks and Regards

Just in case, here is some documentation about changing the syncMaxWaitTime

Invoke BPEL process and display result in BAM chart?

Hi,
I was wondering if there is any way to invoke a BPEL process and display the result back in BAM chart (Active Studio).
I have in mind the Actionable Reports and getting the BPEl process populate the BAM Data Object to show the result back. Let me know if there's anything to connect these ideas to do the whole thing.
The reason for this requirement is to have a single User Interface for having BAM charts and a query operation (synchronous BPEL process).
Any inputs are welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Vikas

Yes, this can be done with the help of Alert and setting up a external Action.
Please refer the following document for more details.

When to use Synchronous BPEL process.....??

I know the difference between Asynchronous and Synchronous BPEL process... BUt can any body tell me exactly when to use synchronous BPLE process... it will be great if anybody can give me some example..??

If caller needs to receive output from processing immediately then use sync.
For instance give me get customer details and display immediately on screen
If processing is taking longer time more than fewl seconds use async
Example:
Submit order for processing

Transaction Error In Synchronous BPEL Process

Hi All,
The Bpel Component makes a synchronous call to webservice , at few occurences response from
webservice delays to 50 secs .
The default time out of Synchronous Bpel Process is 45 secs, so when response from webservice takes more than 45 secs, the expected behaviour of BPEL
component should get faulted and control should go to catch all block
Issue
But instead, the Invoke activity in BPEL component gets rolled back, and control did not go to catch all block and complete instance goes into running state.
And after 50 secs, once webservice response back , a new instances gets automitically created .
Can anyone, Please help me to resolve the issue, i do not want the instances to go into running state .

What I would do is, have the timeout settings as follows.
syncMaxWaitTime < EJB Timeout < JTA timeout
Then, as Vijay pointed in "http://technology.amis.nl/2011/11/18/timeouts-in-oracle-soa-suite-11g/" link, you should add the httpConnTimeout property and httpReadTimeout property to be set less than syncMaxWaitTimeout, so that those timeout will kick in before the syncMaxWaitTime and throw the exception and you can catch it in the catchall block.

When I run a synchronous bpel process which may run about 4 hours,the process was executed twice .
But when I design this process using asynchronous method, it does not happen.
Does anyone encounter this case and how it was resolved?
Or this is a bug of Oracle BPEL Server ?
Thanks for your answer.

Fault error framework for synchronous Bpel process

Hi all,
Do fault policies work for synchronous Bpel processes? I am using a synchronous bpel process which invokes JMS service. I have used fault policies and bindings for this , when the instance fails due to binding fault the instance gets timed out and it neither goes to catch block nor fault policies.Is it normal behaviour or am i doing wrong anywhere. please help
Regards
Raju.

Hello Raju,
yes fault policies absolutely work for sync Bpel processes, please check if you have defined the Binding fault in your fault policy and also in your bindings.
if you have defined them in your policies then the control will jump to the policies first do the respective action defined.
so do check again...
Good luck..

Reply component on synchronous BPEL process in Oracle SOA

if there any possibility for returning the result to the client in the middle of a synchronous BPEL process?
I put the reply component in the middle of BPEL process, but the client still will wait for the whole process completed. I am wondering how the reply mechanism works in BPEL for synchronous.

Hi,
You should build your process in a way that the reply activity should be in the end.
Meaning, add the relevant activities - scopes, catch (fault handling - system & business), switch etc...
If, from some reason, you don't want to continue with the process,at any stage then go to the end.

I am trying to a bpel from the plsql function as given in the folowing link:
http://orasoa.blogspot.com/2006/10/calling-bpel-process-from-raw-plsql.html
I have a doubt that, what is: p_DefaultDetail ?
and what is XMLTRANSFORM method here is used for?
I am getting an error that XMLTRANSFORM is not detected.
can any one provide some pointers to get it resolved.
Thanks
Krrish

If you install the database you also have the option to install optional components. One of these is the xmldb (or some support for it in the database , dunno how to call it).
So i guess you need to install this extra component and you're there (assuming Marc his reply on the question where to find the xmltransform function is correct :))

How to execute BPEL process and invoke web service and workflow design

I am completely new to Oracle software. i need to develope BPEL process using oracle
I have installed almost all necessary product like oracle SOA suite , jDeveloper, BPEL process manager.
But nothing works . i did not installed patches.
I INSTALLED ALL LATEST SOA SUITE 11g AND ORACLE BUSINESS MANAGER (10.1.3.1.0). BUT I AM LACKING bpel DESIGNER. For that purpose i downloaded and installed oracle JDeveloper 11g studio version. but it does not have bpel designer.
all tutorial are based on either eclipse based bpel designer "bpelz" OR jdeveloper based. but latest JDEVELOPER 11g studio version does not have any bpel option. even i can not able to download necessary patches.
KINDLY TELL ME NECESSARY PREREQUISITES TO RUN BPEL PROCESS TO setup complete bpel environment.
necessary tutorials links and software to download.
Thanks in advance K. ROY

Hi Roy ,
The Jdeveloper 11g does not have plugin for BPEL .
download jdeveloper 10.1.3.4 from
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/jdev/index.html
and run a online update for the jdeveloper . This will give you the BPEL project option.
A very good link for learning BPEL is :
