Urgent:SOA 11g composite preference - Behaviour after server restart

Hi ,
I tired to update SOA 11g composite preference value from fmw control. When the server is retarted, I don't find the updated preferences value. It gets reset to the preference value in the code. This is not the case in SOA 10g. Could you help me find a way such that the preference value remains the same even after restart.
Cheers!,
SOALearner

Hi,
Here goes the solution.
Problem
1) Connect to Fusion Middleware Control.
2) Expand SOA -> soa-infra -> default and hightlight "default".
3) Navigate to SOA Infrastructure -> Administration -> System MBean Browser.
4) Navigate to Application Defined MBeans -> oracle.soa.config -> Server: soa_server1 -> SCAComposite.
5) Expand the <SCA composite> -> SCAComposite.SCAComponent and highlight the BPEL Component.
6) Click attribute Properties.
7) Expand Element_0 and change value key for name bpel.preference.PREFERENCE_NAME.
8) Click Apply.
9) Restart the SOA server and now PREFERENCE_NAME contains the orginal initial value instead of the expected updated value.
Solution
1) After you Apply the change to bpel.preference.PREFERENCE_NAME, click Return.
2) Click Operations tab.
3) Click Save.
4) Click Invoke.
5) Click Return.
When the server is restarted, the System MBean updated value is maintained.
Cheers!

JMS Messages lost after server restart

Hi All,
We have an environment where Oracle SOA 11g is configured to use Weblogic JMS (Database persistence). The JDBC stores have been created to hold the persistent JMS messages. However we have observed that after server restart the messages are getting lost from the queue (non consumed messages as well).
Is there any configuration which we are missing?
Regards
Subhankar

Hello Subhankar,
Which Weblogic version are you using? What are the configuration parameters of the JMS queue you defined? During server shutdown/restart, do you see any errors in the server log?
I would suggest you to raise a case with support as it may require an inspection of your environment and settings to find out the root cause.

Retaining listening channel password after server restart

Hi,
I have configured b2b email listening channel & everytime i restart the soa server, the password is blank.
Is there a way to retain/store the password after server restart?
Thanks
Ganesh

Hi Anuj,
I faced the problem with PS2 and now with PS3 also.
For me in listening channel, it does not store the password & during server startup, it tries to connect to email server & fails with invalid password or some error like that.
I am going to raise a SR today & will see how that goes.
Thanks

Canceling timers after server restart

hi,
i create a couple of timers. while the application server is up i can cancel them by getting the TimerService object of the bean it's associated with, calling getTimers() and cancelling the Timer objects returned from it.
if i restart the server (let's say it crashed), the timers created in the previous session are back to run - they are persistent by definition. but now i can't cancel them anymore: same getTimers() returns an empty Collection. i think this happens because the old timers from the previous session were not rebound to the new ejbcontext, or something like this.
my question is: how can i cancel timers, that were re-invoked after server restart.
thank you.

Below are my tests that show canceling of timers working as expected:
Session bean methods:
public void createTimers()
{      System.out.println("### CREATE - a single-action timer that expires in 4s");
ctx.getTimerService().createTimer(4000, "single-action timer that expires in 4s");
System.out.println("### CREATE - an interval timer that expires in every 2s");
ctx.getTimerService().createTimer(2000, 2000, "interval timer that expires in every 2s");
public void cancelAllTimers() {
     System.out.println("### CANCEL - timers:");
     for (java.util.Iterator iter = ctx.getTimerService().getTimers().iterator(); iter.hasNext();) {
          Timer timer = (Timer) iter.next();
          System.out.println(" canceling ... " + timer.getInfo());
          timer.cancel();
public void logCurrentTime() {
     System.out.println("### CURRENT TIME - " + java.util.Calendar.getInstance().getTime());
public void ejbTimeout(Timer timer)
{     System.out.println("### EJB TIMEOUT - " + timer.getInfo());
Java Client test:
ejb.cancelAllTimers();
Thread.sleep(4000);
ejb.logCurrentTime();
ejb.createTimers();
Thread.sleep(8000);
ejb.cancelAllTimers();
ejb.logCurrentTime();
Thread.sleep(8000);
ejb.logCurrentTime();

EJB projects failed after server restart

Hi Experts,
I had deployed some Web Dynpro projects and EJB projects. But everytime after server restarts or SDM restarts, the EJB projects will gone. I have to redeploy the EJB projects to make the WDP projects works, or else the WDP projects will hit nullpointer which saying not able to find the specific EJB.
Any idea?
Thanks & Regards,

Missing data after server restart

Hi,
We restarted our MDM server at the OS level last night. Everything seemed okay after the restart. However, when our users came in this morning, they found that some data was missing from a table. We have a Material repository with 3 main tables. Some data which have previously been populated was not appearing in our Products Detail table, the largest of the three. A large number of rows in the table had columns that failed to load with data on the repository auto-start that occured after the server restart. The auto start value in the mds.ini file was set at 300 (5 minutes) as we had seen this iisue happen once before, and thought that may help.
A stop and restart of the repository corrected the issue. Is there anything we could have done to prevent this? Is it worthwhile to try increasing the auto start delay again? Validating detail data after every server restart is not an effective option.
MDM version: 7.1 SP08
OS: AIX DB: Oracle 11g
Thanks!
Dave

Hi Dave,
I meant that when you load repository using Immediate data is loaded from .acl files (accelerator files) in a async manner.
Whereas when you load by Update Indices new acl files are generated.
Below men6tioned is a comparision between the 2 ways of laoding repository:
Load Repository Immediate
o Loads indexes from accelerator files instead of being regenerated by reading the data them from the DB and creating the index.
o Automatically builds indexes stored in out-of-date accelerator files.
o Is usually fast.
 Load Repository with Update Indices
o Rebuilds all MDM indexes files by reading and indexing data stored in the DB. The results are flushed on disk as accelerator files.
o Necessary by repository schema changes or if any error occurs.
o Might take significant amount of time to complete.
So when you observe some visual data impact in your repository it is good idea to rebuild indexes.
I guess we cannot schedule this as default behavior is to load by immediate even through the inin parameter.
as a best practice one can do this by fixing a time frame eg monthly depending on data/schema changes.
Thanks,
Ravi

Human Task expiration after server restart

How to avoid BPEL process deployment after server restart

Hi,
Message flow in my application is as below
BPEL1 --> ESB --> BPEL2
After every server restart the ESB is failing to invoke a perticular operation of BPEL2 service. All other operations of BPEL2 are working fine.
We are redeploying the BPEL2 proccess everytime the server restart happens to fix this issue. As a temporary fix, we are trying to bypass the ESB and directly invoke BPEL2 from BPEL1, but not sure if this solution works.
Can someone please suggest me as to how to avoid redeployment of the BPEL2 process?
Please let me know incase any additional information is required.
Thanks in advance.

Manoj

Web Service from stateful Session Bean deleted after server restart

Hi,
i created a stateful session bean and from this a web service.
I am able to deploy it and it works really fine.
My problem is: after a server restart the web service is gone and i
have to deploy it again.
I have some other web services (but these are web services from stateless session beans)
but they "survive" the server restart.
I don't want to deploy the web service after every server restart, did I forget something or
is it a general problem of stateful session beans or web services?
Thanks in advance
Jens

JNDI - rebind required after server restart

We are using a third party JMS Provider (we have to use this provider implementation as opposed to WLS Provider), which requires a JNDI implementation. We can use the Sun File JNDI implementation, but seeing as WLS is in the environment, binding the JNDI names into WLS seemed the natural thing to do. This works great, except that we have to bind after each server start up (as the WLS JNDI naming is not persistent across server restart).
I was wondering if anyone had any 'neat' tricks or ideas around this, aside from startup class.

JMS has a ForeignJMSProvider config option to do this I believe. 9.0 will also support this more generally.

Users missing after server restart

Hello,
I have had 2 servers in the past week loose all the user accounts after a server restart. In both cases I had to restore from backup. Anyone else have this happen to them?
Thanks!

Hi Henrique,
How are you restarting your server?
The roles and users are present in the data\ldap folder on your server folder, by any chance are they getting deleted?

OC4J 9.0.4 standalone : webapp not bound after server restart

Hello,
A strange thing happened to an OC4J 9.0.4 instance on AIX 5.2:
- I started the instance.
- I deployed an application using:
java -jar ${OC4J_HOME}/admin.jar ormi://localhost admin <pwd> -deploy -file cfj.ear -deploymentName cfj
java -jar ${OC4J_HOME}/admin.jar ormi://localhost admin <pwd> -bindWebApp cfj webcfj http-web-site /cfj
- I tested the application: no problem.
- Then I stopped the instance.
- The day after, I restarted my instance.
The problem is that the application was no more bound to /cfj, although everything was fine in http-web-site.xml.
I ran the "-bindWebApp" admin.jar stuff, and the application was ok again.
Did anyone have such a problem ? It is the first time for me, and it happend on a production system ! Any idea on how to fix it ?
Thanks in advance for any advice/information,
Pierre Laroche

Can't connect to EM after server restart

Hope somebody can help me with this problem.
I have a 10g RAC installation and after a restart of one of the DB_servers i wasn't able to reach the EM console. I'm running on Linux OS.
This is what i have done:
- emctl start dbconsole (its started without problems)
I have checked the portlist.ini file to ensure that im using correct port. It says:
E.M http port : 1158 - E.M agent port :3938
I use Mozilla with url: http://servername:1158/em/console/ with no luck.
It doesnt understand the url and it routed to googel search.
This actually worked before my restart.
Could someone give me some hints please.
Rob

EAR project not starting after server restart.

Hello all,
I have made a plain EAR project that contains a WAR file which again contains some servelets and static stuff like images and JavaScript files. The project does not use any SAP specific functionality and is hence a regular J2EE EAR project that in theory could run on all compliant J2EE servers.
The problem is that when the server restarts the project does not start (not even lazily, that is upon a request being made to it). In other words I have to start it manually by using Visual Administrator or redeploying. Naturally this approach is not a long term solution.
In the application-j2ee-engine.xml file of the EAR project I have tried to set the parameter start-up to always with no luck as documented here:
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/25/0c08f3981343609d4045f8acaa0a76/frameset.htm]
The server is a 7.0 sp 14.
I have succesfully deployed the project on older servers with no problems.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Undeploy your application from SAP AS Java, e.g. via Visual Admin, and then redeploy it. If it does not start automatically, start it manually from VA. Check if you restart the server, the application is also started up correctly.
Besides that, does your application depends on another application, library, or service? (i.e. uses another appllication, library or service)
If so, did you explicitly declared this relation via the reference tag in application-j2ee-engine.xml ?
Kind regards,
Tsvetomir

SOA 11g Composite Deployment across multiple Instances: Best Practice

Hi,
We have a requirement where we need to deploy the composite acrocss mutilple instances(DEV,TEST,Production) without JDEV.
We are using SOA11.1.3.3(cluster) and linux OS.
Pls suggest me what is the best practice to deploy the SOA composite.
Thanks,
AB

Why there are different ways to deploy the composite in different environment? Depending upon the environment, it's business importance increases and hence access to developers get more restricted and hence there are many ways for deploying. If you are developing an application, you would not like to export a SAR and then login to EM console to deploy it. For a developer it is always very convenient to use IDE itself for deployment and hence JDev is preferably used for Dev instances for deployment.
Once development finishes, developer will check in the artifacts into version control system and if you want to deploy to a test instance then you have to check out the stable version, compile it and package it and then only you can deploy. Hence for test instances, ANT is the preferable mode for deployment. (Remember that developers may not be able to connect to Test environment directly and hence deployment from JDev is not possible)
Once a configuration gets tested in Test env, it's SAR should be checked in into version control system, so that it would not be required to recompile and repackaging of it. This will also make sure that any artifact which is not tested on Test instance, must not go to higher instances (like UAT/PROD). Now in Pre-Prod/UAT/Prod, you may simply access the EM console and deploy the SAR which is already tested in Test instance. Remember that there will be very limited access to such critical environments and hence using Role based access of EM it would be very easy to deploy the resources. Moreover, it is more secure mode of deployment because only those users which have appropriate priviledge, will be able to deploy, and it would also be easier to track the changes.
What is the proc and cons if we use only one way to deploy the composite across the Instances...As such there is no major pros and cons. You may use EM for all environments but it may be a little discomfort for developers/deployers of test environment. You may also use ANT for all the environments but it is not suggested until and unless you have a very good and secure process in place for deployments.

Anuj
