Connect to multiple SOA / BPM Virtual Machines from different computers in your network by Danilo Schmiedel

Today I’d like to explain how to share instances of Oracle’s Pre-built Virtual Machine for SOA Suite and BPM Suite across different computers in your network.

Three requirements I had to address:

  1. Call of external services like GeoNames (http://www.geonames.org/postal-codes/) from within the BPM Suite VM
  2. Connection to multiple BPM Suite VMs from Host (e.g. JDeveloper and Browser)
  3. Connection to multiple BPM Suite VMs from different developer computers in the network
  4. Share data between VMs and developer computers via FTP

The default options already support connections between host and client. However the target here was to address multiple independent VMs from different computers in the same network. The following settings worked in my environment:

1) Start the Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager and open network settings of the VM. Read the full article here.

RDA Health Checks for SOA By Shawn Bailey

What is a health check in RDA?
A health check evaluates something in your environment to determine whether a change needs to be considered in order to avoid a problem or optimize fuctionality. Examples of what this ‘something’ might be are:

  • Configuration Parameters
  • JVM Options
  • Runtime Statistics

What have we done for SOA?
In the latest release of RDA, 4.30, we have added a Rule Set for SOA called ‘Oracle SOA 11g (11.1.1) Post Installation (Generic)’. This Rule Set contains 14 SOA related health checks.
These checks were all derived from common issues / solutions we see in support of the SOA product. Many of the recommendations come from the product documentation while others are covered in the SOA Knowledge Base. Our goal is that you will be able to easily identify the areas of concern and understand the guidance available from the output of the Rule Set.
Running the health checks for SOA
The rules that the checks use are installed with RDA and bundled by product or functional area into what are called ‘Rule Sets’. To view the available Rule Sets simply run the command from the RDA home location:
rda.cmd (or .sh) -dT hcve
This will bring up a list of the available HCVE (Health Check / Verification Engine) Rule Sets. Each Rule Set contains a group of related rules that are used for evalutation and display of results. A rule can be considered synonymous with a single health check and they are assigned an ID, Name and Description that can be seen when they are executed. The Rule Set for SOA is option number 11 and you just enter this selection at the prompt. The Rule Set will then execute to completion. After running an HCVE Rule Set the tool will write the output to the RDA_HOME/output folder. The simplest way to view the output is to drag the .htm file to a browser but of course it can also be uploaded to a Service Request for evaluation by Oracle Support. Read the full article here.
