SOA Suite UMS: Deregister obsolete Messaging Client applications by Martien van den Akker

July 17, 2015 Leave a comment

There are already several blogs on how to receive and send email using the UMS email adapter. A few good starting points that use GMail as a provider are the ones written by our respected con-colleagues of Amis:

So I won’t bother to do a how-to on that on my account. Although I managed to get that working with a local Exchange setup.

What I managed to do is to read e-mail and then process it to upload the attachments and body using BPEL and java in a Spring-Context to Adaptive Case Management. If you want to do something similar make sure you install the patch 18511990 for fetching the attachment-properties and -content, since without the patch the properties for inline attachements are not written properly to the soa-infra database. See my earlier blog-posts here and here.
Having it all setup and playing around with it, you might end up in the situation that the service won’t listen to the actual email-address you reserved for it, as I did. This might be the case when you change the email address in your receiving adapter component in the composite. Or after deploying several versions of the composite, especially with different addresses.
It turns out that there is a panel to deregister Messaging Client Applications to cleanup the mess.
First go to the Enterprise Manager and under the Weblogic Domain navigate to the ‘usermessagingserver’ (there are also entries for the different usermessagingdriver’s, but in this case you need the server itself):

Right click on it and in the pop-up choose ‘Messaging Client Applications’: Read the complete article here.

SOA Suite definitive guide to: The UMS adapter (11.1.1.7) by Amis

July 10, 2013 2 Comments

This week Oracle released it sixth patchset (11.1.1.7) of the SOA Suite and it’s IDE JDeveloper. In this new release there are some small changes in the IDE, but there are also some mayor changes like two new adapters; healthcare and the UMS (User Messaging Service). This blog will look into the use of the UMS adapter as a inbound and outbound service in a SOA Composite. This adapter was already available as beta in PS5 but now it is an official adapter.

By using the UMS (User Messaging Service) adapter as an inbound service you can initiate a instance of a SOA composite by receiving a email message on one or more configured recipients. By using the UMS adapter as an outbound service you can send email messages to one or more recipients with an optional option to send data message as an attachment.

Let’s get into the basics

There are two parts to this adapter; one is the implementation in your SOA composite and the second one is the configuration of the USM adapter that is deployed within Weblogic. The implementation uses inbound and outbound connection factories which need to be configured in Weblogic before the SOA Composite is deployed.

Let’s say the context of this example is to register new employees, created in the CRM system, to go through the SOA Suite to provision other systems. Changes made by one of these systems need to be pushed back to the CRM system. The CRM system can only be coupled via email.

Inbound UMS adapter

First we look into the implementation within the SOA Composite using JDeveloper 11.1.1.7. For this example just create a new SOA project with an empty composite. Let’s start with the UMS adapter as an inbound service. In the composite editor drag the UMS adapter service adapter from the component palette to the exposed services swim lane.
