Content-Based Routing with Integration Cloud Service by Robert van Molken

In my previous article I discussed the fall updates of Integration Cloud Service. One of the features in this update is the possibility for content-based routing within integrations. I came across this feature during UKOUG Tech 15 in the beginning of December. In an two our hands-on lab I had some time to play with the content-based routing feature. The amazing thing is that it did it all on my iPad. In this article I will describe the feature and the steps to implement a common use-case.

What does Content-Based Routing mean?

The fall updates introduced content-based routing, which essentially mean that based on a value in the payload a different flow is executed. A use-case for this type of routing is the possibility to retrieve data from a different application based on the country code. With Integration Cloud Service is as easy as adding a filter on the request operation of the source connection.

Step 1: Adding a filter to route on

The first step is adding a filter to route the request on. To demonstrate this I’m using an already existing integration. This integration receives a GET request for retrieving the information of an organization. The current integration always retrieves the organization from the US site.

To add a filter a user would click on the funnel icon. Clicking on this icon will open the Expression Builder. In the Expression Builder a user can set an expression to filter requests on. This can simply be done by drag n drop the field to filter on. Read the complete article here.

Starting out with Oracle SOA CS – my first steps on a fairly advanced PaaS service by Lucas Jellema on January

September 6, 2016 Leave a comment

 

clip_image002One of the platform offerings in the Oracle Public Cloud is the SOA Cloud Service. This service offers various flavors of SOA Suite 12c (Service Bus, SOA Suite, Technology Adapters) and API Manager 12c, automatically provisioned on the cloud. This service builds on top of a pre-existing DBaaS instance and Storage CS container and implicitly creates a JCS instance and several compute nodes on IaaS Compute CS – as shown in the figure to the right.

This article describes my first steps in getting started with SOA CS. In less than two hours, I had my first simple Service Bus project running on the SOA CS instance. From SoapUI on my local laptop, I could run a load test against the service exposed by the Service Bus, accessed via the automatically provisioned Load Balancer. The average response time was 60 ms, consisting to a large extent of the network latency from my laptop to Oracle’s data center.

Preparation

Before you can request provisioning of a SOA CS instance, you need to have gone through some preparations (also see documentation):

  • you need a (trial) subscription to SOA CS
  • you need a running DBaaS instance – a database instance that will host the SOA Infra schema, the MDS schema and other SOA Suite components (see this article about preparing such as DBaaS instance)
  • you need a (trial) subscription to Storage Cloud Service and you need to prepare a storage container on this service – to host the back ups of the SOA CS instance
  • you need to have prepared an SSH public/private key pair (which you also need to do for the DBaaS instance) and have access to the public key

Additionally, you need to decide what kind of environment you want to have provisioned: just SOA [SCA engine} or just Service Bus – or both? A single node environment or a multi-node cluster? Do you also [or only]need API Manager? The provision wizard will ask you for the answers to these questions.

The starting situation before running the provision wizard is shown here:

I have navigated to the Service Console for the SOA CS service in my identity domain. It would list all my instances – if I had any. Since I do not, all I can do is press the Create button to start a request to have an instance provisioned for me: The first step is the selection of the Domain Type. The options are self explanatory. Read the complete article here.

ServiceCloud Rightnow Integration, XSLT Transformations! By Fabio Persico

August 24, 2016 Leave a comment

clip_image002

 

I’ve just roll out to a live environment, a SOA Integration project with Oracle Service Cloud Rightnow.

The customer needed to migrate from a in-house CRM to Oracle Service Cloud and with my company Infomentum we have helped them in taking this big step. Since that I have made lots of experience with OSC WebServices.

Here I just want to share the complex XSLT Transformation which we have implemented to communicate with the OSC WebServices, hopefully these can speed up any other SC integration projects.

There are 6 transformation in the ZIP package (we have implemented more):

XSLT Name

SC Object

Out of the box Object?

Operation Type

xsltContact2Update

CONTACT

Yes

UPDATE

xsltOrganisationToUpdate

ORGANIZATION

Yes

UPDATE

xsltProgrammeToUpdate

CO.PROGRAMME

No

UPDATE

xsltProgrammeTypeToUpdate

CO.PROGRAMMETYPE

No

UPDATE

xsltCourseToUpdate2

CO.COURSE

No

UPDATE

xsltSessionToUpdate

CO.SESSION

No

UPDATE

In the XSLTs you’ll find all the details about the TARGET columns (Oracle Service Cloud ones). Here are some important concepts I want to highlight:

  • SC Columns in the XSLT are sometimes out of the box column, in some other cases they are custom ones. In the XSLT the latter will be identified with the tag GenericFields. Read the complete article here.

SOA 12c QuickTip: Enable Servicebus message tracing in DefaultDomain by Sven Bernhardt

August 3, 2016 Leave a comment

 

clip_image001Messsage or execution tracing in Servicebus (SB) allows insight into the message exchange between Servicebus and it’s communication partners (Client applications and Service providers) as well as the message processing within  a pipeline. Informations about incoming and outgoing messages, the corresponding headers, the course of variable manipulations and other things are written to the diagnostic logs and can be inspected there, when the tracing is active. By default the message and execution tracing are disabled, due to performance reasons and so it should only be enabled in development environments for debugging purposes.

Enablement of message tracing for proxy or business service or execution tracing on the pipeline level, can be done using Fusion Middleware Control (Enterprise Manager).Under a specific SB project, the corresponding services and pipelines can be found. Enabling the tracing can be simply done by checking the options for message tracing respectively execution tracing in the Operations tab. Read the complete article here.

How to terminate an instance after transaction rollback and return response to caller by Rajeev Misra

August 2, 2016 Leave a comment

clip_image002We have seen in several customer scenarios where a Parent BPEL process calls a child BPEL process asynchronously.  If child process runs into any kind of business or system fault,  fault handler sends callback to parent process with failure information.   Please note, since parent had invoked child process asynchronously,  child can’t throw fault back to parent.  Callback is only mechanism to inform parent about the failure in child process execution during asynchronous interaction.   This pattern works fine if transaction of child process is not getting rolled back.   If child process encounters some error where underlying JTA transaction is marked for rollback,  callback may not reach parent process if parent and child are collocated.   This is because,  callback invoke from child to parent will use the child’s JTA transaction to save callback in dehydration store, but since child’s transaction is in rollback state,  callback message information would be rolled back from dehydration store after JTA transaction rolls back.

Second issue is while trying to terminate an instance after it has encountered error which results into transaction rollback.  Since terminate state update of instance in dehydration store will be rolled back with transaction, any attempt to execute terminate in fault handler will be futile.

We are recommending a pattern that could help resolve both of above problems. Please look at the flow: Read the complete article here.
