Getting started with Oracle SOA Cloud Service Final Part 3: Configure Oracle SOA Cloud Service Instance

In the Final post of this series, we will explore how to Configure Oracle SOA Cloud Service Instance.

We will be using the configuration details of Oracle Storage Container and Oracle Database Service Instance, created in part1 and part2.


Follow the below steps to Configure Oracle SOA Cloud Service Instance:

1. Login to My Service Cloud Account.
2. Click on the Menu -> Oracle SOA Cloud Service
3. Click on Create Instance button







4. Oracle SOA cloud provide multiple options to create the SOA instance i.e. whether we just need Service Bus Instance/SOA instance/Service Bus + SOA Instances etc.

For this demo, I selected Service Bus + SOA Instance, click Next











5. Select the version i.e 12.1.3 or 12.2.1
As I am working on 12.1.3, I selected 12.1.3 version. and click Next.










6. Next, we need to enter Instance Details
Instance Configuration:
Enter the Instance Name,
Cluster Size
Compute Size i.e. 1 or more manage servers
Weblogic Administrator:
Enter weblogic user/password
Database Configuration:
Name: Select the Database Cloud Service that we created in part 2
Enter the SYS user
Password
Load Balancer:
Provision Load Balancer: YES (If you want to select have a load balancer Instance)
Load Balancer Policy: Least Connection Count
Compute Size:
Storage Container Configuration:
Storage Container Name:
Storage User Name:
Password:













7. Review All the details and click on Create button.


8. It takes around 30 mins to create the SOA instance.






9. Once created you can click on action button to access weblogic console/em console/Soa Composer/worklist/service bus etc










Thus, we covered the steps to Provision the Oracle SOA Cloud Service Instance.

As you can see from the post, it is quite easy to create the SOA instance as compare to the traditional on-premise instances.
We no longer need the activities like Licensing, setting up VM, network configurations, database maintenance, and server maintenance.

Oracle Cloud also provide the mechanism to configure the client VPN, by which the services deployed on SOA Cloud can access in-house services.

In further posts, we will cover how to use Cloud SOA instances implementing interfaces.

JAVA embedding in Oracle SOA 12c

Image
In this post we will explore how to EMBED Java or call Java API from Oracle SOA BPEL process. In order to demonstrated this, I have created a simple JAVA project with 3 classes. 1.        Account.java -> This class represent Account DTO       2.       Party.java -> This class represent a party (customer) DTO       3.       GetNumber.java -> This class contains the method that takes Party DTO as input and apply some business logic and return party’s AccountDTO in response. public Account getNumber(Party party) The above classes are created to simulate the calling of actual business logic API’s. Account.java Party.java GetNumber.java public class Account {     public Account() {         super();     }     String account;     public void setAccount(String account) {         this.account = account;     }     public String getAccount() {         return account;     } } public class Party {     public Part

Passing/Receiving HTTP header in SOA BPEL

Image
In this example we will explore how to pass or receive the parameters from HTTP header. We will explore below two scenarios, To receive the HTTP header from SOAP request. To pass the HTTP header while calling soap service. SOA version used: 12.1.3c To receive the HTTP header from SOAP request: First we need to add the property “oracle.webservices.http.headers” under binding.ws in Service element in composite.xml. This property contains the comma separated parameters that we are expecting in request. Example,  ENV,VERSION. <binding.ws port="http://xmlns.oracle.com/SOA_Learning/HTTPHeader/HTTPHeaderTest#wsdl.endpoint(httpheadertest_client_ep/HTTPHeaderTest_pt)">          <property name="oracle.webservices.http.headers">ENV,VERSION</property> </binding.ws> Now in BPEL source under receive activity, we need add <fromProperties> element which will copy the parameters from HTTP header to BPEL variable.

Integrating Weblogic with IBM MQ over JMS

Image
We can integrate weblogic with IBM MQ over JMS by creating Foreign JMS server with Links in weblogic server. We need to create .binding file which will acts as file based JNDI provider to create JMS binding to MQ resources. Will first explain how to create .binding file and then will configure weblogic to use the same. Steps to create .binding file: Firstly we need to add below jar’s in CLASSPATH jms.jar com.ibm.mq.jar com.ibm.mqjms.jar jta.jar connector.jar jndi.jar providerutil.jar fscontext.jar Create JMSProperties.config file with below properties INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY=com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory PROVIDER_URL=file:/tmp/mqm/jndi SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION=none Run below command ./JMSAdmin -v JMSProperties . config InitCtx> def qcf(ForeignCF) TRANSPORT(CLIENT) HOST(localhost) PORT(1414) CHANNEL(MQCHANNEL) QMGR(MQMRG) def q(MQ1) qmgr(MQMRG) queue(MQ1) def q(MQR1) qmgr(MQMRG) queue(MQR1) display ctx
