As mentioned yesterday, I installed Oracle SOA/BPM Suite 11g PS6 yesterday. It was on Oracle Linux 6 Update 3 (still have to update to Update 4).

Today I installed the accompanying JDeveloper 11.1.1.7 on the same machine. Everything went fine, except that apparently the installer failed to (more...)

Today I installed the brand new SOA and BPM Suite 11g PS6. The last few months for me were dedicated in deepdiving WebLogic to deliver a Tuning and Troubleshooting course for two customers.

Although it was not the first time to for me to install the suite, and I already (more...)

Just a moment ago I found out that BPM Suite PS6 is released for download: http://soacommunity.wordpress.com/2013/04/01/bpm-suite-ps6-11-1-1-7-available-for-download/

In a previous blog I also wrote about the OFMW Partner forum in Portugal, where I could play around with it.

This week and next week I have to teach a Tuning (more...)

Yesterday I did a presentation about a project I did last year, where we replaced Oracle Workflow in an Oracle Forms application by SOASuite.
Often Oracle Workflow standalone edition, is used closely integrated within an Oracle Forms/Reports application. This means that you'll run in several issues:

1. How do you start (more...)

A few weeks ago I went to the Fusion Middleware Community Forum 2013. Unfortunately I wasn't in the opportunity to write anything about it, until now.

First it was great to meet many peers in our interest-area. Not only because it was in a splendid environment:

My current project is about the revisiting of some workflows built in SoaSuite10g (Bpel, Esb).
In these workflows emails are sent at several point. Some of these mails are about errors to the administrator. But others are for customers/applicatants or end-users.

In one of these cases  I have to add (more...)

In SoaSuite 10g there is a xpath and xslt function do Domain Value Map lookups,lookupDVM. This function is based on tables in the SoaSuite repository. There is a screen in the ESB console to edit them.

In SoaSuite 11g there is a separate artefact for DVM's, and a corresponding lookupDVM (more...)

Today I was asked to support a customer with some urgent issues. To be able to help them quickly I was given access via a VMware View Client (a Citrix alike online desktopsharing solution from VMware).
From that desktop I connected to an internal desktop with a Remote Desktop session, (more...)

When you already did something with B2B11g, then you probably already know how to connect to the B2B UI, and have found out that it's not available by default.

By default the B2B UI is not targetted to a managed server. It can be done very easy in the weblogic (more...)

Recently I renamed some docTypes in B2B11g because of a typo. Last week I wanted to export the repository to put it into subversion and to be able to propagate the implementation to the test environment.

But when exporting I ran into the following exception:

MDS-00001: exception in Metadata Services  (more...)

In the past I wrote an article about high availability architecture for Oracle Integration B2B10g.
Currently I'm working on an AS2 implementation with Oracle B2B11g. B2B11g is now part of SOASuite11g. Although it can be seen as a gateway product, much like OSB, since it is part of SOASuite I (more...)

Did you encounter it as well? You're working wih a SOA-project within JDeveloper 11g and suddenly you see that there are componenttypes in your project (within the application navigator) that do not belong to your project. Componenttypes of  mostly BPEL components that are from other projects, even in other applications (more...)

A few years ago I was very proud that I managed to call java from BPEL through WSIF. I think that the method pretty much should work in 11g. But my method back than used the deprecated tool Schema Compile. So I would need to figure out how to do (more...)

In my current project we're replacing Oracle Workflow with SOASuite/BPEL 11g. One of the problems turn out to be Oracle Reports in batch. There is a procedure in the database that queries for all requests for which an Oracle Report has to be run. For each of them it calls (more...)

One of my current customers is in the transition of migrating from sending/receiving EDI messages to XML over AS2. The choice of B2B-product is Oracle SoaSuite-Integration B2B11g.

Nice, because in the past I was intensively involved in implementing ebMS with B2B10g. I think the first implementation on Oracle Integration B2B (more...)

At one of my customers I use JDeveloper 11g also as a subversion client. It is actually my first experience of the SVN implementation of JDeveloper, because I'm not able to install a tool like TortoiseSVN on this computer.

I'm pretty positive on the svn-client in Jdev. But unfortunately I (more...)

Sometimes I want to duplicate or reuse a Virtual Machine for another purpose. This week I had to start with a setup for a B2B communication for a client. So I pick one, duplicate them and change the particular hostname and corresponding network settings (/etc/hosts) to reflect the particular situation. (more...)

If you change the host name of the server that runs your weblogic server, then connecting to a page in the weblogic server (/console, /em, etc) may cause page load errors.
When installing the weblogic server, it registers the current hostname as the name of the server in the domain (more...)

Today I was to setup a B2B configuration. So I wanted to have two SOASuite11g VM's working together on my laptop. My colleague created a VM for this particular client in VMWare Player, so I wanted to use that one, in stead of one of my VirtualBox VM's.

One of (more...)

Wouldn't it be nice to see what particular version you have deployed on your SOASuite test or production environment. How often does it occur that you thought you solved a problem but it still does not work on test or production. And after doing loads of tests and investigation you (more...)
