When to use BAM Adapter or Sensors?

Hi,
Is there a clear example/scenario of when you should be using one over the other? At the moment, I have only used integration via BAM adapter in my composites and can't see a situation where a sensor would be more appropriate.
Thanks

Hi
BAM Adapter is used at the composite level. It can also be used as a partner link in BPEL process.
However Sensors are used for lower level activity capture e.g. Activity time for an Invoke or error.
We have also introduced a Monitor Express feature that allows an easy interface for setting up time interval mappings in BPEL process , counters and Business Indicators. You can read more about it here
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/integration/bam/index.html - Whats new in Oracle BAM 11.1.1.2.0.
Also, there is a tutorial called BPEL-BAM Monitor express here http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/integration/bam/collateral/Samples11g.html

When to use Apps adapter and DB adapter?

Hi All,
For invoking a PL/SQL API(either a custom or System API) in Oracle Applications from BPEL Process which is better to use?When to use Apps adapter and DB adapter?
Thanks,
ChitraDevi

As Sen correctly states for the DB adapter you have to set the context manually using the fun_global.apps_initilize or Fnd_Client_Info.SET_ORG_CONTEXT. This is usually done in a wrapper procedure.
I wouldn't say I'm an expert in this field as I have only used the APPS adapter for 11.5.10. I believe things have changed a bit for R12, but from my experience with APPS, things change very slow so although R12 is 10g App Server I'm sure the principles are the same.
Sen is also correct saying that base tables are not accessible via the APPS adapter. Basically the apps adapter is there to expose services, base tables are not services.
My recommendation would be different based on the experience of the developer(s). The APPS adapter simplifies the development but may not have the flexibility. The apps adapters sweet spot is those services that are difficult to integrate with, e.g. business services, xml gateway. If these are used heavily I would use the APPS adapter.
What I personally do, even if I'm not using APPS, if I'm connecting to the database I will implement a function, stored procedure, or AQ. It is a little more hassle during deployment, but it treats it more like a service and you are not impacted if the tables change. This is not an endorsement for you to go down this path because it does have a requirement to have PL/SQL knowledge, and it breaks the notion of service abstraction from the DB.

X61 Hang when not using AC adapter

X61 will hang (on the login page, sometimes when using the laptop halfway), when not using AC adapter.I've format the system, install drivers (system update) and application.
anyone encounter this issue?

I notice if I disable Atmel TPM (from Device Manager), the system works normal when not connect to AC adapter.
I did not have most of the Lenovo software installed. Only have System Update, Fingerprint software & Power Manager.
Will there be any issue if I disable the Atmel TPM ?

When to use Custom Adapter, Event Beans and Spring beans

Hi,
I have basic question on when or on what basis/scenario the Custom Adapter, Event Beans or Spring beans should be used.
All three has same implementation methods.
Please help me in understanding when to use Custom Adapters, Event Beans or Spring beans.
Thanks,
Sri
Edited by: 897694 on Mar 7, 2012 8:12 AM

custom adapters:
you have to use a custom adapter when you don't find any adapter in ocep which will serve your purpose.
Most of the times you use an adapter to connect the application with external things like http server, etc It can be both to listen the events or to send the events outside.
Event Beans:
This type of beans does most of the work that an adapter code does but in convention beans are not used to connect the application with external stuff
You can use Beans as event sink etc In this case using an using an adapter is not suggestable.
If you implement Interfaces like Initializing Bean for an adapter code it won't work properly, you have to use an event Bean in that case.
Spring beans:
Spring beans are used when the bean code doesn't implement EventSink or EventSender.
These beans are used to enable something (eg: make ${wlevs_dev_home}/abc/a/b.java this path is not understandable by java code unless you override the path using a spring bean)
Most of the things which doesn't need a connection between components in the application (eg cache loader: you can do this using spring beans and event beans both but spring beans doesn't need a connection with cache)
Hope this small writeup helps you :)

When I use AC Adapter, Ipod turns on and off

I will try to explain this the best I can, here goes...
When I use all the battery in my ipod, so that it is completely dead, and I attempt to plug it into the AC adapter, the ipod turns on and off. I can hear the hard drive clicking on and off. It will not stay on; it just keeps doing this. However, if I plug the ipod into my computer, it will charge.
Do people think that this is a problem with my ipod or with the AC adapter?
I'd appreciate any feedback or if people have had a similar problem, let me know.
Thanks so much.

Can I get a response back when I use HTTP adapter

Hi ,
I am doing a integration between SAP and ThirdParty Product using PI 7.1.
The scenario is ThirdParty -> PI -> SAP ,using HTTP adapter between ThirdParty and PI , and IDoc adapter between SAP and PI.
So,its a HTTP sender and IDoc receiver.
So I was just curious to know if the IDoc posting failed in SAP ,can I send a response from SAP to Thirdparty regarding the failure along with some error message.
Thanks for your responses.
Venu

Hi,
It may lead to some timeout problems if you design your scenario as synchronous i.e sending response back to HTTP..
as SAP may take time to process idoc and need to provide response back to PI ..by that time the connection may become invalid and thirdparty may receive response as timeout error...
As anyway PI has the option of Alert managements..you can trigger the error mail to the third party recipients for letting them the status...

When to use which adapter?

Hi Experts,
I have an query regarding use and advantages of adapter!
I want to know in what preference should the adpaters be used IDOC,RFC,PROXIES. what should we consider to use first and what are the advanatages of one over the other.

Hi Saras Jain ,
These r the details regarding Adapters:
Adapter framework
What are XI Adapters?
Adapters enable communication between the XI integration engine and an application system. This leads to the compatibility between heterogeneous systems.Adapters convert the XI protocol (SOAP with attachments over HTTP) to the protocol spoken by the application system and vice-versa.The key purpose of XI is to integrate heterogeneous systems and adapters are the key enabler to achieving this goal
Adapter Categories
Application adapters provided by SAP (IDoc and RFC) and 3rd party vendors (Seeburger, Siebel, Oracle, ...)
Technical adapters relate to specific protocols
File systems (FTP / File)
RDBMS systems (JDBC)
Messaging systems (JMS)
Web services (SOAP)
Mail servers (SMTP)
SAP Business Connector
Marketplaces
Industry standard adapters
RosettaNet
CIDX
The Adapter Engine
The XI Adapter engine is the home of the majority of the XI adapters. Only the IDoc adapter and the plain HTTP adapter do not reside on the adapter engine. They reside on the Integration Server.
It is fully integrated in to the XI landscape with tools provided for configuration, logistics and monitoring. It's Adapter Framework is based on the JCA.
SAP XI requires an adapter framework to communicate outside of the SAP system. These adapters translate code from external applications to an XML message for NetWeaver processes using the Java Connector Architecture.It is a part of the Adapter Engine, which provides interfaces for configuring, managing, and monitoring adapters.

How to convert LongRaw to String when querying using DB Adapter?

Hi All,
How do we use a DB Adapter to query on LONG Raw data? Is there a way to implicitly convert data to a string before returning the resultSet?
JDev: 11.1.1.4
Regards.

Hi,
LONG RAW data will be retrieved as base64binary, you can use and Embed Java to convert it back to string.

When to use the Adapters and in which case

Hi Experts,
I am little worried and searched the sdn, but i am not getting the proper answer for my question.
My Question is when to use which adapter and at what stage?
1. File --> when to use it and in which case
2. IDOC
3. RFC
4. SOAP
5. XI
6. HTTP
And also where to use BPM and Proxies, when should we go for them.
Please help me out. I Beg the answer from experts.
Regards,
Raj

Hi,
If an incoming or outgoing message is a file(.txt,.csv etc), we use a file adapter
If the outgoing message is an IDOC, we need an IDOC adapter.same for RFC also.
SOAP for incoming/outgoing webservices
XI while using proxy scenarios
HTTP- while you an HTTP request.
BPM and Proxies is a vast topic.
For Proxies http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/5d/112d20f6ce6c46ba66afb98d278fbd/frameset.htm
and for BPM http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/5d/112d20f6ce6c46ba66afb98d278fbd/frameset.htm
this will be useful.

Hardcoded BAM server parameters when using BAM sensors

The problem we're having is that when a BPEL process has BAM sensors, the BAM server configuration parameters are hardcoded in bpel.xml and sensorAction.xml.
This causes problems when the process is being deployed to a different instance than the development instance.
I solved the problem for the bpel.xml file with the <customize> ant task, but haven't found a solution yet for sensorAction.xml.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Arnold van Koppen

See..when the BAM Server is down the corresponding data objects wont be available to you..During the design time wat u do is create a variable which contains the elements dat u wanna monitor in the BAM...IN BAM u create data objects ..then u map the schema from the BPEL to the BAM Data Objects ...U need a BAM Server connection which pulls up the metadata from the server ..If the BAM Server is down u wont get the BAM DOs...to keep a back up u can use DB as the sensor action so that the data from the sensor action is written to the DB..Using a DB Adapter i think the data from the Reports schema can be written to the OracleBAM schema ...so that even if the BAM Server is down the data is written to the OracleBAM schema
