Terminology: SOA Suite

Gurus, I have very stupid and base level questions.. But it's been itching my mind for quite sometime now. Kindly help me get rid of the confusion:
1) When I say SOA Suite means it's a group of technologies:
1) BPEL (BPEL PM, JDev, BPEL Console )
2) ESB (ESB Console, Jdev)
3) OWSM (Console)
4) Business Rules (Console)
5) Service Registry
6) BAM (??? is it really a part of SOA Suite?)
Now all these components (except of the JDev) are part of Oracle Application Server, meaning AS is a super set of SOA Suite. Is that correct?
Also, are fusion m/w components always delivered as parts of Application Server?
thanks!

When you say SOA Suite, it means a complete set of products by Oracle to create,test,deploy and manage Service Oriented Architectures.
Jdev for development
BPEL PM for orchestrating complex processes or services.
Business Rules provide greater flexibility in changing rules/logic.
OWSM provides WebService security
BAM for real time monitoring
Service Registry for publishing and discovering Web Services.
Oracle App Server is not superset of SOA but a platform on which SOA Services/processes will be deployed.
Fusion m/w components come for almost all the major App Servers like Websphere, JBoss,Weblogic etc.

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.

OSB and SOA Suite VISIO Stencils

I am putting together some stencils to model my OSB / SOA Suite solution....
This one is REALLY cool, it contains very specific component icons, although I wish it contained more JEE specific terminology
http://www.soapatterns.com/SOA_Visio_Stencil.zip
This one is very abstract, anyway a few components can be really useful:
http://www.eaipatterns.com/download/EIP_Visio_stencil.zip
I am also experimenting externalizing the shapes data into an Excel sheet, and linking to the shapes.
As far as possible I would like to keep a strict inventory of all the artifacts created in OSB/SOA Suite, and keep them in sync with the documentation.
I wonder what your experience is, and if you have other tools to recommend?

Hi Chris,
Oracle's statement of direction that you can find at
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/integration/service-bus/docs/Oracle-Service-Bus-SOD.pdf
there will be convergence of the 2 products that basically address 2 different use cases (see Statement of Direction).
In my opinion new tools will be added to Jdeveloper to develop and deploy on Oracle Service Bus (OSB). In present OSB version, OSB tools are not part of Jdeveloper and transformations use XQuery instead of XSLT (as for Oracle ESB).
Hope this help you a little bit.

Jean-Pierre

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!
Melvin

Find a BUG on the SOA Suite ( Internationalizing Problem)

I am a java developer in Thailand.
I have 4 Java Certifications - SCJP, SCWCD, SCBCD, SCJWSD.
I meet something wrong ("bug") when I play with Oracle SOA Suite.
About my technical software :
-I use the Oracle Database XE (Universal).
(I cannot use the HTML DB to run your script from soademo_101310_preview - it's give me the error messages so I change to run the SQL from command. Although running the SQL script from the command line is O.K., the command window is not support the Thai language. It appear in Alien language that I cannot read.I try to change the command window option but It has only 2 font choices. Thus I cannot still do with Thai language in the command window.)
In control panel, the regional and Language Option, I set the standard and format to Thai (including Language for the non-Unicode program in Advanced Tab).
I am successful both insallation and deploy the SOA book application.
I follow the instruction in Oracle SOA Suite Quick Start Guide, 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0).
At the page 39, I find a BUG.
My created date on the BPM Worklist is wrong !!!
My computer time is 10 กันยายน ( September in Thai language) 2549 (Buddhist Time).
But the date I see in the BPM Worklist is 10 กันยายน ( September in Thai language) 3635 (Buddhist Time).
You can see the image at http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/5487/datehp3.jpg.
I have 3 questions :
1. How can I add the Thai font in SQL command line window (SQL*Plus) in Oracle XE ?
2. Why does the HTML DB not support to run the uncomplete sql script ?
3. Have any suggestion to correct the time problem. ( Internationalizing Problem) ?
Thank you very much.

This is not a bug.

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.

How can I use custom WLST commands for Oracle SOA Suite in Weblogic

Hi There,
I'm trying to view and search the weblogic log files using WLST on a Solaris/Unix system.
I have come across this "custom WLST commands for Oracle SOA Suite" and thought of using the custom logging commands to get my task done.
However, my WLST shell is not recognizing the commands and giving me the NameError!
wls:/devDomain1/domainRuntime> listLogs()
Traceback (innermost last):
File "<console>", line 1, in ?
NameError: listLogs
I tried the commands listLogs, displayLogs, getLogLevel & setLogLevel but in vain!
I have followed the instructions as per the oracle recommendation of using Custom WLST commands (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E29597_01/core.1111/e10105/getstart.htm#ASADM10692) as below
- Launched the WLST shell from Oracle Home.
cd ORACLE_HOME/common/bin
./wlst.sh
- Tried to run the listLogs command from domainRuntime()
I would like to know if I need to import any additional libraries to run the custom WLST commands for Oracle SOA Suite in my WLST shell?
I have only weblogic 10.3.1 server installed on my Solaris 10 machine on which I have deployed the OSB application software.
There is no SOA Suite installed.
Or is there any other way I can browse the Server Log file and get the list of log messages? Basically I would like to use this feature in my script to customize it according to my requirement of listing specific error logs which I can work it out if I know how to make these commands work.
Please advise if this is possible and how?
Cheers.

How to configure something similar to optSoapShortcut in SOA Suite 11g

Hi,
We are migrating processes in BPEL 10g to composites in SOA Suite 11g (11.1.1.5). In one of these processes we are extracting the ws-addressing elements replyTo and MessageID from the SOAP header from the calling process and saving these values into a database. They are later used to be able to reply back to the calling process. In 10g this was no problem but in 11g calls between processes are automatically optimized, meaning that they are not communicating using SOAP. Hence, it seems like we can't get the soap headers the normal way.
According to the Administration Guide for SOA Suite 11.1.1.5 the optSoapShortcut property has been removed which could be used in 10g to specify if the calls should be optimized or not. Is there any other way to configure this in SOA Suite 11g?
If not, is there any way to instead extract these elements from some BPEL API or similar?
Thanks!
Best wishes
Kerstin

For release 11g, SOAP optimization is automatically configured. Therefore, if you upgrade your projects from 10g to 11g and are using the optimized shortcut approach in existing applications, note that optimized calls are activated only when the hostname value (as referred to in the WSDL URL in the composite.xml file) matches the Server URL value. Either set both values to the hostname (for example, myhost) or to the full domain name (for example, myhost.domain.com). If these values do not match, a regular SOAP call is performed instead of an optimized local call.
You can still control this using oracle.webservices.local.optimization property.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15586_01/web.1111/b32511/configuring.htm#WSSEC3522
Refer to "Controlling When Local Optimization is Used"

How to deal with any UDDI in SOA Suite 11g?

Hi folks,
I have spent quite some time trying to understand how Oracle is dealing with the UDDI aspects in the Soa Suite 11g.
Back to Oracle AS 10g, I remember, even though i had never used it, that the UDDI repository was a out of the box capability with a very nice Web UI to browse the services The Aqualogic Service Bus seems to have features to consume/publish web services in any UDDI, but no real embedded UDDI in its core.
Since 11g, obviously the way to go is to adopt Oracle Service Registry. There is a seamless integration with JDeveloper 11g (i.e create a UDDI connection to publish/consume/search web services).
My company is keen to go on a open source UDDI and I came to the conclusion that any of those (i.e jUDDIv3.02, OpenUDDI) are actually able to work properly with JDeveloper 11.1.1.2. I got XSD exception or other cabalistic errors that definitely show that JDeveloper 11g can only deal with Oracle Service Registry. I heard that the Soa Suite 11g could only deal with UDDI v2 and v3. CentraSite does fit those requirements but does not work too.
Why is that ? How can I set up my SOA initiative without having the choice on the UDDI ? Does this have changed since PS2 ? I have tried to look up on Metalink and I got a hit on jUDDI but it does clearly state that jUDDI works well now with JDeveloper.
Any answer on that would be highly appreciated.
Kind regards,

Configure .p7b(PKCS #7 Certificates) in SOA Suite 11g - Enterprise Manager

Hi,
currently configured .jks file in em - weblogic domain - security - security provider configuration which is used by owsm policy to validate my incoming signed soap message.
(incoming message is signed with the same jks file). so it is working fine.
Now I got .p7b(PKCS #7 Certificates) file from customer, so I need to replace this with my existing .jks file. How can I do this?
Appreciate your quick inputs.
Thanks

customer site is invoking my soa suite application,public portion of the certificate which I got from them I configured at my end(.p7b converted in to jks). with the private key (which I do not have with me) the customer site is signing the soap request and hitting my soa suite.
Getting following error in my soa suite side(soa_server1-diagnosis):
X509 Certificate will not be advertised due to underlying exception "oracle.wsm.security.SecurityException: WSM-00057 : The certificate, abc.org, is not retrieved. The following aliases are found in the keystore:- [defnet.org, klmca.org, abc.org, ]".
while converting in to jks I gave alias, I do not know what value should I give. I found
subject: CN=abc.org... in .p7b file, used the same name as alias.
converted .p7b file in to .cer as suggested by anuj, .p7b file contains 3 certificates,so imported 3 times in to same key store file like this
keytool -import -alias abc.org -file xyz.public.cer -keystore xyz-keystore.jks
keytool -import -alias klmca.org -file klmca.public.cer -keystore xyz-keystore.jks
keytool -import -alias defnet.org -file defnet.public.cer -keystore xyz-keystore.jks
Where I am doing wrong here?
Can I configure directly .p7b(PKCS #7 Certificates) file in enterprise manager (soa suite 11g ps3.). I converted in to jks file and configured but it is not working.
Please suggest. This is urgent. Appreciate your quick help.

Weblogic Domain not getting created in SOA Suite 11g R2

I have installed the components of SOA Suite 11g R2 (11.1.1.3) on a single Windows XP SP3 machine (32 bit) following recommended procedures. I tried to configure Weblogic server using Domain Configuration utility. After navigating hrough the wizard, no Weblogic server profile is getting created in the doamin folder. Even the WL Admin server is not getting created. The Domain Configuration utility did not throw any errors.
1) Is this problem related to Oracle repository for SOA suite 11g?
2) Can the repository schemas (Oracle) hold multiple weblogic SOA domain information?

Hi,
Weblogic servers directory do not gets created after domain creation or even managed server configuration. It will present itself only when you start the managed server for the first time, that is when it initializes all security attributes, diagnostic attributes (if configured) , etc..
Perform server start and then check if it gets created or not.
## rank answer if it is helpful ##
Thanks,
