Using the For Each action in Service Bus 12c by Jan van Zoggel

April 23, 2015 Leave a comment

 

clip_image002In Oracle Service Bus 12c you can use the For-Each action to iterate multiple elements in your message.
While developing a service with For-Each functionality in Service Bus 12c I discovered that there are some subtle changes in the naming of the properties since 10g + 11g.
It took me half an hour to find out what I did wrong, documentation was not really helpful so hopefully this will spare you the trouble 🙂

In 11g the configuration looks like (screenshot from the OSB 11g Development Cookbook):

In 12c the configuration would look more like this: Read the complete article here.

A Chef Cookbook for Fusion Middleware 12c by Jorge Quilcate

April 22, 2015 Leave a comment

 

Provisioning tools have change the way we create software environments: How much time we spend installing OS, databases, configuring platforms, applications? Now you can translate this steps into code, getting the software development benefits and challenges into infrastructure: versioning, reuse, continuous improvement.

In this post, I will show you how to provision Oracle SOA Suite 12c using a Chef cookbook that I created and shared it on Chef Supermarket.

Provisioning with Chef

Chef is a provisioning tool, based on Ruby. Let you organize your "infrastructure" recipes on Cookbooks. Here you can find the Chef Supermarket. For a Chef tutorial go here

Chef Cookbooks and Recipes

Chef Cookbooks are groups of Recipes, and a Recipe is a sequence of instructions called Resources. Directory, Execute, Service, Package are some resources.

For instance: If you want to install an HTTP Server, first you should install a Package, and then start HTTP Service.

Oracle Fusion Middleware Cookbook

I’ve created this cookbook: oracle-fmw. The idea is to have a group of recipes to provide Fusion Middleware environments with different products like: SOA, BPM, BAM, OSB, and so on.

In the first release, this cookbook includes the following recipes:

· prepare-infrastructure-12c: Creates the required OS user and group, installs the required OS packages and execute some scripts to set required parameters.

· install-bpm_qs-12c: Installs Oracle BPM 12c which includes the following products (12.1.3): JDeveloper, Oracle SOA, Oracle OSB, Oracle BAM, Oracle BAM and others.

· create-rcu_repository-12c: Creates RCU repositories on Oracle Database instance.

· create-domain-12c: Creates a WebLogic Domain with these (optional) products: SOA, BAM, BPM, OSB.

Set-up a 12c SOA/BPM Infrastructure by Rene van Wijk

April 21, 2015 Leave a comment

 

In this post, we will show how to create automation scripts in order to set-up middleware environments.

Preparation

In the example, we will use the following software

· Oracle JDK

· Fusion Middleware Infrastructure (fmw_12.1.3.0.0_infrastructure.jar) which can be obtained from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud

· Oracle SOA Suite (fmw_12.1.3.0.0_soa.jar) which can be obtained from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud

First, we have to decide which directory structure we are going to use. Below an example is given in which the binaries (that create the run-time) are separated from the configuration. 

1.  ${BASE_DIRECTORY}
2.      /soa12.1.3
3.          /configuration
4.              /applications
5.                  /base_domain
6.              /domains
7.                  /base_domain
8.              /nodemanagers
9.                  /base_domain
10.                                     /installation (directory that contains all the software)
11.                                         /coherence
12.                                         /em
13.                                         /oracle_common
14.                                         /osb
15.                                         /soa
16.                                         /wlserver
17.                                     /jdk1.7.0_55

Installation

To install an Oracle SOA Suite Infrastructure (that uses Oracle JDK as the Java Virtual Machine) we can use the following script

SOA 12c – EDN Logging by Siva

April 19, 2015 Leave a comment

 

clip_image002In 12c EDN uses Weblogic JMS to publish and deliver the Business Events. So edn-db-log (which we use in 11g) will not work when Weblogic JMS is used.

In 12c, you can enable EDN logging navigating to soa-infra –> Logs –> Log Configuration and search for logger oracle.integration.platform.blocks.event as shown below. Set the logging level as you desired.

B2B 12c – Listening Channel activation and deactivation in bulk Bruno Neves Alves

April 17, 2015 Leave a comment

 

clip_image002With the version 12c of B2B the possibility to activate and deactivate all listening channels in one single command was introduced. Previously, it was necessary to provide the name of the listening channels to perform the action, what, in scenarios with a considerable number of listening channels, made the task ineffective.

Different scenarios can be pointed out where this functionality is extremely useful:

· After importing a B2B configuration the channels are always in deactivated status. This command can be then executed in order to activate all the listening channels in bulk;

· Deactivate all listening channels to stop momentously all message consumption for corrective or preventive reasons into B2B or back-end applications;

· Switching the message consumption between two environments;

The feature is also provided in a command line based approach since is an extension to the already existing feature of enable/disable a particular listening channel. Therefore it is respecting the same prerequisites.

Prior to executing any B2B command line tool is necessary to set the following environment variables: Read the complete article here.

SOA Suite 12c: Topology Suggestions by Jay Kasi

April 16, 2015 Leave a comment

 

In this article, I make some suggestions and provide opinions on topologies recommended in SOA Suite 12c.

· Typically Service Bus and SOA Suite belong in different tiers in an end to end architecture so they would be in separate domains. However if Service Bus is used primarily for mediating and providing routing for SOA Suite Composites in a domain, it could be in the same domain, but typically in separate clusters for optimum performance and scalability. However it  is possible starting in 12c to have Service Bus and SOA Suite in the same cluster.

· Governance products like OER and UDDI should not be in a SOA Suite or Service Bus domain. They should be in a separate domain. OER should be in a separate domain from UDDI.

· One consideration when deciding on topologies is that Upgrade is always domain wide. All products deployed to the domain must release in the same release train and you should be willing to upgrade all of them at the same time.

· You can target multiple products to the same cluster by targeting the appropriate user extensible server group to  the servers in the cluster.

1. SOA Suite is targeted to a server by targeting either the user extensible server group SOA-MGD-SVRS or SOA-MGD-SVRS-ONLY.

2. Service Bus is targeted to a server by targeting either the user extensible server group OSB-MGD-SVRS-COMBINED or OSB-MGD-SVRS-ONLY.

3. BAM is targeted to a server by targeting either the user extensible server group BAM12-MGD-SVRS or BAM12-MGD-SVRS-ONLY.

4. MFT is targeted to a server by targeting either the user extensible server group MFT-MGD-SVRS or MFT-MGD-SVRS-ONLY.

5. ESS is targeted to a server by targeting the user extensible server group ESS-MGD-SVRS. Read the complete article here

SaaS-OnPremise Integration with Fusion Middleware demo available

April 15, 2015 Leave a comment

 

clip_image002To get access to the Oracle demo system please visit first OPN (OPN account required)

With the increasing popularity of software as a service (SaaS), there is a key imperative to quickly, efficiently and securely integrate the newer SaaS applications with their existing on-premise counterparts. Using an incident management/service delivery scenario, this demo shows how Oracle Fusion Middleware streamlines this integration via a unified framework of middleware components that masks the technical differences and enforces consistency via a common integration platform for SaaS and On-Premise applications.

Highlights

  • Incident management/service delivery scenario with multiple user personas to reflect real world use case
  • SOA Suite 12c with Oracle Cloud and On-Premise Adapters to integrate Oracle Service Cloud and E-Business Suite applications
  • Scalable and secure access management for cross-application processes and transactions via OAM Mobile and Social, OAG, OID
  • This demo is mostly an iPhone based demo.

Call to Action

For more information about SaaS integration attend our Multichannel Integration hands-on workshop at the Fusion Middleware Community Forum 2015 or visit the SOA Partner Community Workspace (Community membership required).
