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:

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 (more...)

I have a customer asked me about how to debug EDN. This blog will show you how to debug EDN and the tools that can be used to debug EDN.

1. Using EDN-DB-LOG

EDN comes with a useful EDN DB logging servlet to view logging information generated by the EDN component. It is only available for END-DB which is based on AQ, it will not work for EDN with JMS. The servlet uses a table called “EDN_LOG_MESSAGES” in SOA_INFRA schema. It logs the operation on “main” operation of event_queue and oaoo-queue with timestamp information.

The default URL is http://<host_name>:<port_number>/soa-infra/events/edn-db-log.  (more...)

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

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 (more...)
