Weblogic Integration WLI adapters for Siebel

To integrate with Siebel and Oracle EBS, earlier version of WLI (8.2 & 9) had adapters available with it, but the latest version of WLI 10.2 does not have the adapters.
Can we know what should be the recommended and supported mechanism of integration with Siebel and Oracle EBS for synchronous request response scenarios?

Krish,
You can build a JMS/TIBCO adapter and deploy it on any J2EE CA compliant container.
Pros:
Your adapter can be deployed on any compliant application server (including WLS).
Cons:
The J2EE CA 1.0 specification is very limited when it comes to EAI. It does not
address bi-directional communication (EIS events), asynchronous service invocation
and implementing javax.resource.cci interfaces is not mandatory (these are what come
to mind first, there are others). So, if you don't use WLI, you can't take
advantage of our value added features. TIBCO may have extended JCA as well, I don't
know.
Summary:
If your adapter just sticks to what is specified in the JCA spec, you have total
autonomy, however, you have limited EAI capabilities. If you use the proprietary
extensions provided by a particular vendor (BEA WLI, TIBCO, etc...) then you are
tied the their environment. Until the J2EE Connector Architecture addresses these
EAI issues, you will run into proprietary EAI solutions.
Cheers,
Chris

Weblogic Integration : xml message for event node in a workflow

Hello,
I have the following queries for weblogic 7.0 BPM workflows with event nodes:
1) How does weblogic server choose that an xml message should be delivered to
what all workflow instances, as the xml event does not carry any information regarding
the workflow instance or event node?
2) When an XML message is received, but there are no eligible consumers (workflow
instances) then what happens to the message, is it discarded?
3) Suppose an xml message comes for an event node even before that event before
has been reached in the workflow instance, ie, the event node has not been activated
yet. Is the message persisted to be delivered for processing when the event node
gets activated or is it discarded?
Please reply at an earliest.
Thanks,
Parul

Hi,
Based on your description what I felt is you are making use of a wait step in which you have choose to wait till BUS2078 event CREATED is occured ... right.. Now can you please clear me that where and how this event will triggered.
or is it some thign like you are making use of event creator step and in this case, When ever you are making use of the eventcreator step and a BOR object inside it make sure that specific BOR object is already instatitaed in the workflow container , if it is instantiated then only it will try to identify the instance or the BOR and it will try to rasie the event.

Oracle Application Management Pack for Siebel 10gR4 is GA

Oracle Application Management Pack for Siebel 10gR4 is now generally available.
Go to this OTN page if you want more information about the product.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/oem/prod_focus/app_mgmt.html
You may also download it from OTN to try it out as part of Enterprise Manager 10gR4. We will be demonstrating it at booths D8 and J7 at the Oracle Demoground at Moscone South Hall, at session S291922 at Moscone West L2-2001 on Monday, 11/12 from 3:15 to 4:15 p.m., and at the Siebel Pack Hands-on Lab (S294089) at Marriott Hotel Golden Gate Room B1 on Thursday, 11/15 from 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
The Siebel Pack is designed to be a complete and integrated management tool for Siebel. Using this management pack, you may get proactive alerts on impending problems on the application, examine run-time statistics to troubleshoot and tune performance, compare configurations across different environments, keep track of configuration changes, proactively enforce configuration policies in order to avoid configuration related problems, monitor and report on service level delivered by the application and performance diagnostics of user and server performance. The pack may be used with other Oracle Enterprise Manager management packs and plug-in’s to achieve end-to-end management of the entire application environment, including both Oracle and non-Oracle databases, operating systems, storage and network devices.
The 10gR4 release of this pack adds integrated Siebel Transaction Diagnostic support using data captured via Siebel Application Response Measurement (SARM) framework. With this tool, you may:
- Analyze request processing for individual user requests
- Analyze CPU and memory consumption of processing requests for different Siebel Server Components
- Visualize SARM metric data graphically
- Compare performance profiles over time
- Create performance reports and share them with your co-worker for collaborative performance diagnostics
The 10gR4 version of this Siebel Transaction Diagnostic tool also adds support for Siebel 7.7 and 7.8 in addition to being compatible with Siebel 8.0. It is fully integrated with Oracle Enterprise Manager, which eliminates the need for separate install and user maintenance, and it runs on all operating system platforms that Oracle Enterprise Manager supports.

Working with the Oracle Enterprise Manager group to integrate closely with their monitoring solutions has been one of the most important advantages of joining the Oracle team. As our customers have started to use CRM more deeply as part of their business processes, CRM has quickly become Mission Critical, with 24/7 uptime requirements. Furthermore, as CRM becomes further integrated into the enterprise, knowing the status and health of the connections to multiple backend systems becomes evermore crucial.
Through our partnership with the Oracle Enterprise Manager, we aim to support true Enterprise-class CRM. We are the only solution out there with over six million live users, and we are leveraging the knowledge gained from those customers in our Enterprise Manager integration. With the real-time monitoring and diagnosis that Oracle Enterprise Manager provides, we simplify the process of managing sophisticated CRM implementations which span organizations and systems. If you have a Siebel implementation with four servers or more, or with integrations to several systems, you owe it to yourself to check out Oracle Enterprise Manager.

Adapters for Weblogic Integration

Hi guys,
I have some questions regarding to the adapters for WLI. In which case shall I use MQ adapter and RDBMS adapters for WLI? For example, if I use MQ with WLI domain, shall I buy MQ adapter? How about the RDBMS adapter?
Thank you very much for your time.

It shoud not took 3 hours. Normally, you expect wait for 1 -2 minutes.
For your case, I suggest to
(1)run the cleanWF.cmd script then shutdown the server
(2)restart the server
(3) run cleanWF again
(4) run the sample.

While running the WLI sample, I have been waiting for a QPA Reponse frommy
suppliers for about three hours, is this expected behavior? I havechecked the

"Check QPA Reponse" screen. This was addressed briefly in the user guide,
however, it didn't say how long you should wait. Please advise, thanks.

Forum for WebLogic Integration?

It's my understanding that WebLogic Integration is still actively supported.
Why can't I find an active forum dedicated to it? The last couple of questions I asked about WLI in the closest fora I could find got no responses. If there is no dedicated forum, which forum should I use? Thanks.

Just because a product is "supported" doesn't necessarily mean there is a forum dedicated to it.
Have you tried the WebLogic Server - General forum?

WebLogic Integration help me?

Hi,
We are planning to use WLS as our new portal
site platform. We already have an e-commerce
server and want to integrate it with WL server.
(The components of the e-commerce server are
written in Perl and communicate to each other in
their own protocol.) We want to use this server
as our shopping engine in our site.
I am just wondering how WL Ingegration can help me.
Can any body give me some suggestions?
What additional components that our original
server should provide?
Please let me know if I describe the scenario unclearly.
Thanks.
David Lin

David,
WebLogic Integration could provide a platform for easier integration of
other applications and businesses for your portal. You would have to
look at your Portal and Backend Application architecture. Chances are,
it will not always be one type of architecture/technologies or
applications. But you will need to share information between all of
them.
WLI provides several parts that help you do the end to end integration,
all built using the J2EE based WebLogic Server Platform:
1 - Business Process Management - this is a Process Engine that gives
you flexiblity on how your components are used in your application. Your
applications no longer need to be hardcoded at a source code level or
script level. It provides the glue between your different components
with a Visio like flowchart visual graphical interface. It also allows
you to monitor your business process instances in a runtime environment.
The business processes can be initiated either using Event Messages
(normally XML, but don't have to be) or using a java API.
2 - Application Integration - this is a integration framework built on
the J2EE Connection Architecture standard, that allows you to integrate
with backend applications at a business level (referred to as Enterprise
Information Systems, or EIS in the spec).
This framework allows you to integration with the EIS at a business
level (using XML msgs). The framework accesses the EIS using a resource
adapter (defined as part of the specification). Since the J2EE
Connection Architecture is a java standard (part of J2EE 1.3 spec),
resource adapters will be available for main EIS systems (applications
like SAP, ...). The business level services can be called from a
Business Process or they can be used to start a Business Process as
well.
3 - Data Integration - provides data translation (XML<->non-XML) and
data transformation (XML<->XML). These can be called from a Business
Process.
4 - B2B Integration - allows you to extend your Business Processes
across the internet with secure, reliable messaging to other companies
you do business with. These can be suppliers, distributors, logistic
companies ...
Since your current components are based on Perl, there would be some
initial work needed to access these from WLI. This could be done by
writing a java wrapper (either as a java class or an EJB) that would
call your perl scripts. This would allow you to call your perl scripts
from Business Processes.
The Business Process provides the flexiblity to change the process
without having to change source code. The process engine also allows you
to view active Business Process Instances, to see what point it is at in
the Process. You could then use the WLI Application Integration to share
information with your back end applications at a business level
interface.
There is a lot more information about each part of WebLogic Integration,
so I would suggest you contact a local BEA person for more information.
Online documentation on WLI is available at edocs.bea.com.
Hope this information is helpful.

Issue with creating array of custom data type - WebLogic Integration

Hi,
We are doing WebLogic integration with Siebel for which from Siebel side we have generated java wrapper class which has all the methods, input\outputs defined and in\out params are serialized along with get\set methods. Following are the details of the input\output args.
Account_EMRIO.java
public class Account_EMRIO implements Serializable, Cloneable, SiebelHierarchy {
protected String fIntObjectFormat = null;
protected String fMessageType = "Integration Object";
protected String fMessageId = null;
protected String fIntObjectName = "Account_EMR";
protected String fOutputIntObjectName = "Account_EMR";
protected ArrayList <AccountIC> fintObjInst = null;
Above class also includes constructors\overloaded constructor\getters\setters
public AccountIC getfintObjInst() {
if(fintObjInst != null) {
return (AccountIC)fintObjInst.clone();
}else{
return null;
public void setfintObjInst(AccountIC val) {
if(val != null) {
if(fintObjInst == null) {
fintObjInst = new ArrayList<AccountIC>();
fintObjInst.add(val);
For the nested user defined data type AccountIC, it is defined in another java class as below
AccountIC.java
public class AccountIC implements Serializable, Cloneable, SiebelHierarchy {
protected String fname = null;
protected String fParent_Account_Id= null;
protected String fPrimary_Organization = null;
With the above, I was able to get all the AccountIC in the wsdl correctly and using this I was able to set the input param in the client
WSDL:
<xs:complexType name="accountEMRIO">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="fIntObjectFormat" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="fIntObjectName" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="fMessageId" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="fMessageType" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="fOutputIntObjectName" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="fintObjInst" type="tns:accountIC" minOccurs="0"/>
</xs:sequence>
<xs:complexType name="accountIC">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="fName" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="fParent_Account_Id" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="fPrimary_Organization" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
minOccurs="0"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
Now, I wanted to make slight difference in getter method of class Account_EMRIO method getfintObjInst so that an array of AccountIC is retured as output.
public ArrayList<AccountIC> getfintObjInst() {
if(fintObjInst != null) {
return (ArrayList<AccountIC>)fintObjInst.clone();
}else{
return null;
With the above change, once the wsdl is generated, I am no longer getting fintObjInst field for AccountIC due to which I am unable to get the array list of accountIC
WSDL:
<xs:complexType name="accountEMRIO">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="fIntObjectFormat" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="fIntObjectName" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="fMessageId" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="fMessageType" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="fOutputIntObjectName" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
The issue that I am facing here is, we have a custom data type(AccountIC) which has several fields in it. In the output I need a array of AccountIC. In the java bean, when this type was defined as
protected ArrayList <AccountIC> fintObjInst = null; I was unable to get a array of AccountIC. this gets complicated as inside a AccountIC there is array of contacts as well and all the time I am getting just the first records and not a array.
To summarize: How to get xsd:list or maxoccurs property for a field in WSDL for the user defined\custom datatype?
Can someone help me with this.
Thanks,
Sudha.

can someone help with this??

Weblogic Integration 10r3 error in msg-header-2_0.xml

Hello,
I am trying to go through te WLI workshops, but cannot publish a WLI process.
The Tutorial_Process_Application RequestQoute.java has the following error in the msg-header-2_0.xml:
Severity and Description Path Resource Location Creation Time Id
Referenced file contains errors (http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/strict.dtd). For more information, right click on the message and select "Show Details..." Tutorial_Process_Application_Utility/schemas/system msg-header-2_0.xsd line 1 1257804610777 410
A new WLI project from scratch gives te same error, it is as if the msg-header-2_0.xml is not correctly generated when the WLI process is created.

Aha! problem solved :)
The tutorial states : 'Select the Add WebLogic Integration System and Control Schemas to Utility Project check box to add the system schemas to the Schemas folder under the Utility project.'
If you do that it does not work, and i get the errors I discribed in the post, howerver if ypu leave it blanked out, the process can be published, without error or warnings.
As I am new to WLI (use to work with Oracle Bpel) I have no idea about the importance of adding the Integration system and control schemas to the utility project.
However as my goal is to work through the workshops, I wil worry about it later.

Upgrading a project from Weblogic Integration 8.1.3 to Weblogic Integration

Can anyone offer any advice to assist me in upgrading a project from Weblogic Integration 8.1.3 to Weblogic Integration 9.2.1?
Here are some nuances of the project:
* The JNDI, JDBC, & JMS server resources are secured; access is controlled by Deployment Descriptor run-as/security-role/... tags and custom CSPs
* The application is currently build for deployment using wlwBuild ant task (class in workshop.core.WlwBuildTask which is located in the 8.1.3 {weblogic.home}/workshop/wlw-ide.jar - so far I can't find this class/task in my 9.2.1 install)
* The following are the application characteristics (and utilized WLI features): multiple web apps, EJBs, JMS, Page flow/netUI, web services, WLI controls (process, java, transformation), XMLBeans
* One of the project goals is to not make any functional changes and modify as little code as necessary (the only expected justification for a modification is a) fallout out from the JVM 1.5 upgrade or b) something is no longer available in WLI 9.2)
I know there is a edocs page with a tutorial for upgrading from 8.1.4 or 8.1.5 to 9.2, but I am interested in knowing if anyone has insight on upgrading directly from 8.1.3?
Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.
Regards,
Andy Frank

just as a followup to my original message.. regarding the 8.1.4 install log that had all the warnings with the msi it expected and the different one it found... at the bottom of the log..this is what I got;
Property(S): SourcedirProduct = {AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-A81300000003}
MSI (s) (6C:30) [11:11:23:828]: Product: Adobe Reader 8.1.4 - Update 'KB408682' installed successfully.
MSI (s) (6C:30) [11:11:23:828]: Product: Adobe Reader 8.1.4 -- Installation operation completed successfully.
when i go into adobe reader -> help -> about i stillget 8.1.3

When will WebLogic Integration 9.2 Certification will be available?

Currently it seems only Integration Developer based on WLI 8.1 is available. Since I am using WLI 9.2 not is not suitable.
Anyone know when BEA plan to have WLI 9.2 certification available

Incidentally, I started pointbase manually (startPointBase.cmd), started PointBase Console (startPointBaseConsole.cmd) in order to execute the SQLAuthenticator.sql script. This all failed because this SQL script refers to tables GROUPS and USERS, which did not exist in my PointBase schema.
What worked for me was:
1. Create a new domain, and only select Workshop for WebLogic, WebLogic Portal, and WebLogic Integration options.
2. Select YES to Customize Environment and Services Settings tab.
3. Take defaults until the Run Database Scripts dialog box.
4. On the Run Database Scripts dialog box, run the scripts for p13nDatasource and cgDataSource-nonXA.
5. Take default on the remaining steps, and after domain creation the "Run Database Scripts" dialog box shouldn't appear, and the domain should start properly.I'm curious though as what would one do if instead of PointBase DB, we use MS SQL 2000,
for all the relevant databases in an Integration domain? Thanks.

Understanding Weblogic Integration 9.2

Hi All,
I am very new to Weblogic Integration and we were asked to make our application use WLI. Our application has many source feeds and we also interface with SAP with Web Services calls. I am totally new to Weblogic Integration and I would appreciate if anyone can point me to the starting point. I want to learn how WLI works and how to write controls etc.
I downloaded Weblogic platform and tried to follow through the tutorial that Bea provides, but could not find any help. Tried to search for books online but could not find any. Any help regarding resources i.e. books or online "free" tutorials/courses is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
S

Sarin,
I have worked on an WLI project,where integration was with SAP.We used iWay adapter to integrate with SAP system.With respect to WLI, you need to learn JPD(Java Process Definition),Data Transformation,XQuery,Event generators,Channel file,need a very good understanding of XSD(Schema Definition).Also you need to work with WLI console(http://localhost:7001/wliconsole),where you can create your business calendars,event generators.The weblogic workshop help would be a good starting point.Again you can find lots of documents at http://www.edocs.bea.com.
Let me know if you have any specific question.
