Installation Fails with <AIA_Home>\Infrastructure\Install\AID\AIAPLWImportData.xml:48: exec returned: 1 error message

Bug: 12806332
Added: 19-September-2011
Platform: All

This error occurs because there is an issue with your environment and database set up.

Workaround:You need to configure timezone related startup parameters before you start the servers and install again.

To set up a timezone perform the following tasks:

Login to WebLogic console.
Navigate to Environment, Servers, soa_server1 (or your SOA Server).
Click the Server Start tab.
In the Arguments field enter -Duser.timezone=XYZ.

Where XYZ should be a valid timezone value in the database. Before you enter the value, check the timezone value in the AIA database.

To check the timezone value, connect to AIA database and run ALTER SESSION SET TIME_ZONE = '<Your Timezone>';

For example ALTER SESSION SET TIME_ZONE = 'America/New_York'. If it does not throw any error, use the value. If it throws an error, apply DST patches for the database. For example Note 975450.1 - DSTv13 update for the Oracle Database.

AIA Lookup Values in Project Lifecycle Workbench and CAVS Are Displayed in English Even When Your Locale Is Non-English Admin Language

Bug: 12840782
Added: 19-September-2011
Platform: All

When you access Project Lifecycle workbench UI and CAVS, the table gets populated with values in English language even if your locale is any of the nine other admin languages that include German, French, Spanish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese. This happens because values in AIA lookup table are stored in English language.

Warning in Installation Log

Bug: 12985128
Added: 19-September-2011
Platform: All

When you install, install log shows the following warning "WARNING: UNRECOGNIZED OPTION STAGE IS BEING IGNORED".

Workaround: Ignore this warning as it does not affect any functionality. No workaround required.

Configuration Fails as RAC Does Not Support SID

Bug: 13434421
Added: 27-November-2011
Platform: All

Deployment Configuration Wizard looks for System Identifier (SID) for Database details. However, the configured RAC does not support SID and you will not be able to proceed with the configuration.

Workaround: Silent mode of configuration with the following workaround:

Open the aiaconfig.sh/cmd file.
Search for ./runInstaller -invPtrLoc $AIA_HOME/oraInst.loc -jreLoc $JAVA_HOME -weblogicConfig and add -novalidation to it.
Run through the Deployment Configuration Wizard.
Note: The values of the Databases you configure are not validated. Ensure they are right.
Open the AIAInstallProperties.xml from the AIA_INSTANCE/config directory
Change the participatingapplication\<participatingapplicationname\db\jdbc-url property to jdbc:oracle:thin:@<Database Host>:<Database Port>/<Database service name>.

Failed Configuration of Pre-built Integration Shows as Configured When You Rerun Deployment Configuration Wizard

Bug: 13434355
Added: 27-November-2011
Platform: All

When configuration of a pre-built integration fails, Deployment Configuration Wizard still makes changes to AIAInstallProperties.xml. Because of this, when you rerun the Deployment Configuration Wizard, it assumes that pre-built integration is completely configured.

Workaround: Re-launch Deployment Configuration Wizard and reconfigure the failed pre-built integration. There is no loss of functionality.

Cannot Specify Participating Application Information in Deployment Configuration Wizard If the Participating Application Is Down

Bug: 13434385
Added: 27-November-2011
Platform: All

AIA Foundation Pack 11.1.1.6.0, Deployment Configuration Wizard does not let you suppress validation of participating application and configure.

Workaround: You can suppress validation of participating application using the steps described in “Performing Silent Installation and Deployment of Foundation Pack” of Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation and Upgrade Guide for Oracle Application Integration Architecture Foundation Pack 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6.0).

If you are configuring the participating application for the first time, and you need to suppress validation of participating application, take the silent installation template from your pre-built integration team.

Installer Does Not Tell You Why a Managed Server Is Not Added to the Managed Server List in the SOA Server Details Screen

Bug: 13434393
Added: 27-November-2011
Platform: All

If any of the managed servers are down, the drop down for Managed Server does not auto-populate cluster names. This happens because the installer checks whether the managed servers are up and running to ensure that installation does not fail because the managed servers are down.

Workaround: If you do not see a managed server, start the server and select it when it gets populated.

AIADemo Does Not Update aiainstallproperties.xml in Metadata Service Repository

Bug: 13434397
Added: 27-November-2011
Platform: All

AIADemo does not update aiainstallproperties.xml in Metadata Service Repository. As a result AIADemo details do not get reflected in product information in AboutAIA.

Workaround: No workaround required as it does not affect functionality.

Prerequisites Required for Opening Demo Files and Composites in Oracle JDeveloper

Bug: 13434400
Added: 27-November-2011
Platform: All

When you try to open demo files in JDeveloper, you get an error relating to adf-config.xml. The mentions that the credential will not connect to the MDS so this file needs to be changed.

Workaround: Replace this file with adf-config.xml present in $AIA_INSTANCES/config/MDSConfig/.adf/META_INF.

Open the file and add the line <property value="<MDS_PASSWORD>" name="jdbc-password"/> at two occurrences beneath <property value="<MDS_USER>" name="jdbc-userid"/>

Exception: Internal Error While Activating AIAJMSSERVER (JMS Server)

Bug: 13434407
Added: 27-November-2011
Platform: All

When the domain is set up in development mode but if you start the installation in production mode, AIADataStore does not get created under the domain and the exception is logged in the log files.

Workaround: Create a folder under the domain home with the name AIADataStore before you start the installation.

SOA Suite and BPM Suite Common Functionality

Dropping the Partition from the WFTASK Table Causes a Unique/Primary Key Violation

Bug: 14609815
Added: 4-October-2012
Platform: All

If you drop the partition from the WFTASK table, you receive a unique/primary key violation.

ORA-02266: unique/primary keys in table referenced by enabled foreign keys

Because of this, you are unable to drop the WFTASK partition.

Workaround:

Log into SQL*Plus as the SOAINFRA user.
Disable the constraints:
SQL> exec HWF_DISABLE_CONSTRAINTS
Drop the partition. For instructions, see section "Verifying and Dropping Partitions" of the Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle SOA Suite and Oracle BPM Suite.
Enable the constraints:
SQL> exec HWF_ENABLE_CONSTRAINTS

Replay Activity Is Displayed as Faulted in Oracle Enterprise Manager Even Though No Fault Occurred

Bug: 14081332
Added: 15-June-2012
Platform: All

When a replay activity in a BPEL process of a SOA composite application is invoked, it is displayed as faulted under the Faults tab of the BPEL process instance in Oracle Enterprise Manager, even though an actual fault has not occurred.

This is the expected behavior. The fault is displayed because the BPEL process service engine is re-executing the scope activity. When you add a replay activity to a BPEL process, the internal implementation of <bpelx:replay name="replay_name"/> uses the underlying BPEL fault <throw faultName="bpelx:replay"/>.

Because the service engine executes the activity by throwing a fault and builds an implicit catch block for the enclosing scope activity, this fault is displayed in Oracle Enterprise Manager.

Spring Service Component Does Not Support the Running and Terminated Instance States

Bug: 13996131
Added: 15-June-2012
Platform: All

The spring service component does not support the running and terminated instance states. Because the spring service component is synchronous, by design, there is no support to terminate the synchronous, running instance. Therefore, you cannot abort the running instance and cannot have a terminated state for the spring service component.

Outbound MTOM Invocation Support for SOAP and Fanouts Support for SOAP with Attachments

Bug:14049704
Added: 11-May-2012
Platform: All

Chapter "Managing Large Documents and Large Numbers of Instances" of the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle SOA Suite includes the following errors:

The description for the capabilities of bindings in Table 45-2 of section "SOAP MTOM" states that outbound MTOM invocations are not supported. This is incorrect. Outbound MTOM invocations are supported.
Table 45-5 of section "SOAP with Attachments" states that fanouts are not supported. This is incorrect. Fanouts are supported.

Events Published and Subscribed to in the Same Process Are Not Delivered

Bug:14005025
Added: 11-May-2012
Platform: All

If an event is published and subscribed to in the same process, the event is not delivered to the subscriber to avoid any cyclic execution. This is by design.

Workaround: If you require this functionality, you can delegate event publishing to a separate process.

DIME Attachments Are Not Supported

Bug: 13894523
Added: 12-April-2012
Platform: All

Direct Internet Message Encapsulation (DIME) attachments are not supported in Oracle SOA Suite 11g.

Using Abstract WSDL Files of an Invoked External Reference Partner Link That Becomes Unavailable

Bug: 13933984
Added: 10-April-2012
Platform: All

If you use a concrete WSDL file to invoke an external reference partner link, and the invoked partner link is undeployed or the server on which it is running is shut down, you receive a null pointer exception when you attempt to retire the invoking composite.

For example, assume you perform the following steps:

Deploy composite GetCreditRating.
Deploy composite InvokeCreateRating.
InvokeCreateRating invokes composite GetCreditRating as an external reference partner link on the same server or a remote server.
Undeploy GetCreditRating or shut down the server on which it is running.
Attempt to retire composite InvokeCreateRating or shut down the server on which it is running.
You receive a null pointer exception that references GetCreditRating service artifacts.

This issue occurs when the WSDL file of the external reference partner link (GetCreditRating) is no longer online. The reason for this exception is the dependency on the concrete WSDL file of the external reference partner link (can be another SOA composite). If this external reference is unavailable when the invoking composite loads/retires, the operation fails.

Workaround: Use an abstract copy (local copy) of the invoked WSDL file to prevent exceptions during the retirement of a composite or shutdown of a server. When you use an abstract WSDL file, it is identified as a local copy and keeps the target external reference partner link active.

When configuring the external reference partner link in the Create Web Service dialog, select the copy wsdl and its dependent artifacts into the project checkbox.
When design is complete, you see two WSDL files in the Application Navigator in Oracle JDeveloper. For example:
- Webservice.WSDL (the local copy of the target WSDL file)
- WebserviceRef.WSDL
This creates an abstract WSDL and references it to your composite.

This design protects against external dependencies during startup/retirement/shutdown. During runtime, the actual concrete WSDL file is used for invocation.

Dequeuer Returns the Same Message in High Concurrency Environments with Oracle Database 11.2

Bug: 13729601
Added: 20-February-2012
Platform: All

The dequeuer returns the same message in multiple threads in high concurrency environments when Oracle database 11.2 is used. This means that some messages are dequeued more than once.

For example, in Oracle SOA Suite, if Service 1 suddenly raises a large number of business events that are subscribed to by Service 2, duplicate instances of Service 2 triggered by the same event may be seen in an intermittent fashion.

The same behavior is not observed with a 10.2.0.5 database or in an 11.2 database with event 10852 level 16384 set to disable the 11.2 dequeue optimizations.

Workaround: Perform the following steps:

Log in to the 11.2 database:
CONNECT /AS SYSDBA
Specify the following SQL command in SQL*Plus to disable the 11.2 dequeue optimizations:
SQL> alter system set event='10852 trace name context forever, level 16384'scope=spfile;
Restart the database.

Interested Transaction List (ITL) Contention and Timed Out Exceptions During Heavy Loads

Bug: 13592824
Added: 20-January-2012
Platform: All

During periods of heavy message processing, you may observe ITL contention in the database and the following timed out exceptions in the SOA server logs:

Caused by: Exception [EclipseLink-4002] (Eclipse Persistence Services - 

2.3.1.v20111018-r10243): org.eclipse.persistence.exceptions.DatabaseException

Workaround: Connect to the Oracle SOA Suite schema:

In SQL*Plus, connect to the database as the Oracle SOA Suite schema user:
CONNECT username/password@net_service_name | //Host:Port/service_name]
Execute the following SQL commands:
DROP INDEX DM_CONVERSATION; DROP INDEX CONV_ID_STATE_DLV_TYPE; DROP INDEX STATE_TYPE_CIKEY; CREATE INDEX DM_CONVERSATION ON DLV_MESSAGE(CONV_ID); CREATE INDEX DM_RECEIVE_DATE ON DLV_MESSAGE(RECEIVE_DATE);

matches() XPath Extension Function Returns True for Empty String Pattern

Bug: 13585806
Added: 20-January-2012
Platform: All

The matches() XPath extension function causes an empty string to match successfully to any input string. This is because matches() uses the Java Matcher.find() method for string comparisons. This method considers an empty string as a substring of the string that is compared. Therefore, this method returns true.

For example, assume you have the following code:

test='xp20:matches("Resource",ns6:ResourceRoleIndicator)

In this code, the ns6:ResourceRoleIndicator element is optional. If you remove ns6:ResourceRoleIndicator, the test expression should evaluate to false. However, it evaluates to true.

Because of this, you may encounter flows where the pattern XPath expression points to a missing element in the payload, which internally gets converted into an empty string. Therefore, it successfully matches to any provided input value.

Workaround: Contact Oracle Support Services for the patch for Bug 13556242.

Using Double Slashes for Directory Paths in XPath Functions on Windows Can Cause Errors

Bug: 13531499
Added: 06-January-2012
Platform: All

The use of slashes to represent directory paths in XPath extension functions on Windows operating systems can be interpreted in two ways:

With double slashes. For example, file://c:/Ftab.txt.
With single slashes. For example, file:/c:/Ftab.txt.

If you specify double slashes and receive an error message, try specifying single slashes.

For example, the following use of double slashes does not work:

oraext:get-content-from-file-function("file://c:/Ftab.txt","file: //c:/Ftab_1.xsd","root")

Whereas, the following use of single slashes works correctly:

oraext:get-content-from-file-function("file:/c:/Ftab.txt","file: /c:/Ftab_1.xsd","root")

Cannot Create a Test Instance when Logged in with the Monitor Role in Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control

Bug: 13519490
Added: 06-February-2012
Platform: All

Table C-1, "Role Functionality Matrix" of Appendix "Oracle Enterprise Manager Roles" of the Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle SOA Suite and Oracle BPM Suite indicates that you can create instances using the Test Web Service page when logged into Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control as a user with the monitor role. This is not the case. If you attempt to create a test instance when logged in with the monitor role, you receive the following error:

Either the WSDL URL is invalid or the WSDL file is not valid or

incorrect. - oracle.wsm.policymanager.PolicyManagerException: WSM-02079:

All Non Active Instances Selection of the Delete with Options Dialog Is Disabled

Bugs: 13478163
Added: 06-January-2012
Platform: All

In the Delete With Options dialog on the Instances page of the SOA Infrastructure or SOA composite application home page, the All Non Active Instances selection of the Preset Batches dropdown list for the Common Delete Options radio button is disabled for this release. In addition, do not use this option programmatically with the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure Management Java API Reference for Oracle SOA Suite.

As a workaround, perform the following steps in the Delete With Options dialog:

Select the Delete All Instances That Match These Criteria radio button.
Specify the time filter criteria, and click Delete.

All instances are deleted based on the filter criteria.

Composite Instance Creation in Oracle Enterprise Manager is Disabled in an SSL-Enabled Environment

Bugs: 13387571
Added: 09-December-2011
Platform: All

If you enable SSL ports for the Administration Server and all Managed Servers, you cannot create a test instance of a SOA composite application in Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control.

For example, perform the following steps:

From the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console, disable the non-SSL ports and enable the SSL ports for the Administration Server and all Managed Servers.
Deploy a composite from Oracle JDeveloper.
On the Configuration page during deployment, select the Always use SSL checkbox.
Attempt to create an instance of the deployed composite in Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control and note that the Test button at the top of the SOA composite application home page is disabled.
Click the disabled Test button, and note that an error message similar to the following is displayed:
Unable to retrieve composite details. Error retrieving Composite E2ETestComposite (1.0) details from soa-infra runtime. This could happen due to the errors in soa-infra initialization. Please view the log files for details. EJB Exception: ; nested exception is: java.lang.NullPointerException

Default/Last Active Revision of a Composite Is Not Identified When Retiring All Composites in a Partition

Bugs: 13368213
Added: 09-December-2011
Platform: All

Be aware that when you select Retire All from the Composite Control list on the home page of a SOA partition in Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control, all composites in that partition are retired with no warning message to indicate that the default/last active composite is being retired.

This is the expected behavior when performing a bulk retirement of all composites in a partition.

Same Deployment JAR File Name is Displayed for Projects in the SOA Bundle

Bugs: 13396758
Added: 09-December-2011
Platform: All

The names of the deployment JAR files created for a project in an application are displayed as the same in Oracle JDeveloper, when they should not be the same.

For example, perform the following steps:

Create an application named mdstest.
Create BPEL processes named mdsproj1 and mdsproj2 in the application mdstest.
Create a deployment JAR named archive1 for mdsproj1 and mdsproj2.
Create a SOA bundle by including the archive1 JAR of mdsproj1 and mdsproj2.
When the SOA bundle is deployed, the archive1 of mdsproj1 is displayed under the MDS connection > applications tree. The archive1 of mdsproj2 is not displayed.

The deployment JAR file created for the two projects in the application should not have the same name.

Display or Saving of Dictionaries in Oracle SOA Composer is Unsuccessful After Failover

Bugs: 13352663 and 13352664
Added: 09-December-2011
Platform: All

When there is an Oracle Real Application Clusters outage, the following errors occur in Oracle SOA Composer:

The complete list of dictionaries deployed on the server is not displayed in the Select a dictionary to open dialog box. If you change the options in the Show dropdown list between All, Composite Rules, and Shared Rules, an error message is displayed.
If you select Save Dictionary in Oracle SOA Composer, an error message is displayed and changes to your dictionary are not saved.

As a workaround, wait a few seconds and retry the above action that failed. The action succeeds this time.

Duration Period Details Are Not Displayed on the Partition Home Page

Bug: 13328823
Added: 09-December-2011
Platform: All

On the partition home page in Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control, the instance and faulted instance count messages do not contain the duration period in the title.

For example, perform the following steps:

Enable the following properties on the SOA Infrastructure Common Properties page:
- Select the Restrict display of instances and faults to the last check box and specify a duration period (for example, the last 30 minutes).
- Enable the Disable fetching of instance and fault count metrics check box.
Go to the partition home page.
Click the link of an instance or faulted instance count. Because you enabled the properties described in Step 2, links are displayed instead of actual instance and faulted instance counts.

The message that appears is entitled Number of Instances. It should be entitled Number of Instances (For the last 30 minutes).

Non-ASCII Characters in BPEL Activities are Unreadable After Copying and Pasting

Bug: 13371870
Added: 09-December-2011
Platform: All

Copying and pasting non-ASCII characters in BPEL activities in Oracle JDeveloper can result in unreadable data. This issue occurs when the system locale is non-UTF8.

For example, assume you perform the following tasks:

Start Oracle JDeveloper in its native encoding (for example, euckr for ko_KR).
Create a BPEL process with an English name (file names are all in English).
Add an assign activity with an English name.
Copy and paste the activity, and note that this action is successful.
Add an assign activity with a Korean name.
Copy and paste the newly created activity, and note that its name is unreadable. If you also copy and paste an assign activity with names containing Chinese, Japanese, and European words, the same problem occurs.
In addition to activity names, other data is also unreadable after copying and pasting, including link names and non-ASCII data in the from element of an assign activity.

Workaround: Set the system locale to UTF8 on Linux systems before starting Oracle JDeveloper. On Windows operating systems, however, there is no workaround for this issue.

Restrictions on Changing Log File Directories

Bug: 12746127
Added: 25-July-2011
Platform: All

Do not change the location of log directories unless absolutely necessary. If an absolute path for the log directory is specified, and not a relative path, composite deployment fails.

Workaround: If any change to the SOA server log path is required, then the new path must be a relative path (relative to the SOA server directory), and not an absolute path.

Fusion Order Demo JMS Adapter Destination Value in Deployment Plan is Hard-Coded

Bug: 12316777
Added: 6-May-2011
Platform: All

The deployment plan shipped with the Fusion Order Demo ignores the JMS adapter destination value and replaces it with a hardcoded value:

<wsdlAndSchema name="FulfillmentBatch_jms.jca">
   <jca:property name="DestinationName">
      <replace>jms/DemoSupplierTopicUdd</replace>
   </jca:property>
</wsdlAndSchema>

Therefore, if you change the destination value used by the JMS adapter, the JCA file included in the composite's JAR file reflects the changed value. However, when you deploy the new version of the composite and select the corresponding reference in Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control, the old destination value in the deployment plan is still displayed.

Workaround: Change the destination value in the deployment plan or in the build.properties file.

ant Compilation Error with SOA Composite Applications on Linux

Bug: 10255512
Added: 06-May-2011
Platform: Linux

You can receive the following compilation error when using ant to compile a SOA composite application.

Error(12,61): Parse of component type files failed, check the adf-config.xml
file : "java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
org.apache.xerces.impl.xs.XMLSchemaLoader.loadGrammar([Lorg/apache/xerces/xni/
parser/XMLInputSource;)V:
org.apache.xerces.impl.xs.XMLSchemaLoader.loadGrammar([Lorg/apache/xerces/xni/
parser/XMLInputSource;)V"

This can occur if you have a .ant directory with older versions of JAR files that gets added to the classpath. The ${user.home}/.ant/lib directory is a standard location used by ant that is always added to the classpath when running ant.

Workaround: Perform one of the following steps:

Rename the .ant directory (for example, to .ant_old).
Specify the -nouserlib option when running ant from the Linux command prompt. In Oracle JDeveloper, this option is accessible by right-clicking your project, selecting Project Properties > Ant > Classpath, and deselecting the Include Jar Files from User Home checkbox.

The composite then compiles successfully.

Mediator Instances Can Display as Running After Transaction Completion

Bug: 8420049
Added: 06-May-2011
Platform: All

An Oracle Mediator service component relies on a successful commit of a local transaction to know whether an instance is recoverable. Even if a graceful shutdown is correctly implemented, and all transactions are allowed to complete (within the given time out window), there can still be a local transaction that is denied because it fails to occur within the time out window. For example, assume the following:

A database adapter posts a message.
An Oracle Mediator service component receives the message, sets its state to running, and invokes a BPEL process service component, whose state is also set to running.
A JMS adapter is invoked, and encounters and throws an exception. The reference fault tables are updated.
The BPEL process receives the exception, marks its state as completed with a fault, and rethrows the exception to the Oracle Mediator.
The BPEL process triggers an asynchronous persistence of its audit information as the global transaction is rolled back.
Oracle Mediator receives the exception and persists the fault information in its error tables (in a separate local transaction).
Oracle Mediator sets its state to faulted.

If the server is shut down before the transaction can complete (for example, between Steps 5 through 7), the Oracle Mediator instance can remain in a running state. The corresponding composite instance whose state is inferred from the components also displays as running. As the global transaction is rolled back, the message can be retried and reprocessed by the inbound adapter. Note that in this scenario, no mediator instances are lost.

Importing Shared Schema from MDS Does Not Copy the Schema Imports

Bug: 9587562
Added: 06-May-2011
Platform: All

If you import shared schema from MDS (with schema imports within), only the base schema is copied and the schema imports are ignored.

Workaround: Manually localize the schema.

National Language Support Date Format and the Looped Purge Script

Bug: 12358938
Updated: 06-May-2011
Platform: All

You may encounter error ORA-01861 while running the looped purge script due to a mismatch in the date format. If your NLS_LANG setting represents a non-English language (for example, Japanese_Japan.AL32UTF8), set NLS_DATE_FORMAT to "YY-MON-DD" temporarily for the session in which you are running the purge script.

NLS_DATE_FORMAT = "YY-MON-DD"

For information about the looped purge script, see Chapter "Managing Database Growth" of the Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle SOA Suite and Oracle BPM Suite.

PermGen Space Out-of-Memory Error when Using the Sun JDK

Bug: 8589284
Added: 06-May-2011
Platform: All

When the Sun JDK is used as the JVM for the SOA managed server, Oracle recommends that the following memory settings be used. If proper memory settings are not used, repeated operations on task detail applications (human workflow) can result in PermGen space out-of-memory errors.

For UNIX operating systems, open the $DOMAIN_HOME/bin/setSOADomainEnv.sh file.
For Windows operating systems, open the DOMAIN_HOME\bin\setSOADomainEnv.cmd file.

Increase the following values:

if [ "${JAVA_VENDOR}" != "Oracle" ] ; then
  DEFAULT_MEM_ARGS="${DEFAULT_MEM_ARGS} -XX:PermSize=128m
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m"
  PORT_MEM_ARGS="${PORT_MEM_ARGS} -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m"
fi

to these values:

if [ "${JAVA_VENDOR}" != "Oracle" ] ; then
  DEFAULT_MEM_ARGS="${DEFAULT_MEM_ARGS} -XX:PermSize=512m
-XX:MaxPermSize=1024m"
  PORT_MEM_ARGS="${PORT_MEM_ARGS} -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m"
fi

Increasing the XA Transaction Timeout Value

Bug: 8576274
Added: 29-April-2011
Platform: All

If you send notifications for parallel task assignments in human workflow, you can see the transaction close, SQL exceptions appear, and notification processing take a long time at runtime. If this occurs, increase the XA transaction timeout for an XA data source in Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console. When set, this value overrides the value of the global transaction timeout.

Click Lock and Edit.
Choose Services > Data Sources.
Click the specific data source.
Click the Transaction tab.
Select Set XA Transaction Timeout.
In the XA Transaction Timeout field, specify the value of the transaction timeout.
Click Save.
Log into SQL*Plus.
Set the distributed_lock_timeout value.
```
SQL> alter system set distributed_lock_timeout=value scope=spfile;
```
Oracle recommends that you set distributed_lock_timeout to a value greater than or equal to that set in Step 6.
Shut down and restart your database after running this command.

Verify that the setting has changed.

Handling Business and Remote Faults in the Calling BPEL Processes

Bug: 8578316
Added: 06-May-2011
Platform: All

Oracle recommends that you handle both business and remote faults in BPEL processes during design time. If remote exceptions are not handled in the calling BPEL process, you can see discrepancies in the overall SOA composite application instance state and the server component instance states associated with the composite. For example, assume the composite instance is in a faulted state, while the service component instances are in a completed state. If the caller handles the remote exceptions, then the states of composite and component instances are accurate.

Storing Artifacts in Source Control and Deploying Them with the ant Utility

Bug: 8599824
Added: 06-May-2011
Platform: All

If you store application artifacts in a source control system that you later want to reuse for deployment with ant, the following changes are required if the application has metadata service (MDS)-based references.

Assume the original Oracle JDeveloper application has file-based MDS references, such as the following:

<metadata-store-usage id="mstore-usage_1">
            <metadata-store
class-name="oracle.mds.persistence.stores.file.FileMetadataStore">
              <property value="${oracle.home}/integration"
                        name="metadata-path"/>
              <property value="seed" name="partition-name"/>
            </metadata-store>

Modify this code to use database-based MDS references in the Application_Directory/.adf/META-INF/adf-config.xml file, as shown below:

<metadata-store-usage id="mstore-usage_1">
            <metadata-store
class-name="oracle.mds.persistence.stores.db.DBMetadataStore">
              <property name="jdbc-userid" value="${mdsuser}"/>
 <property name="jdbc-password" value="${mdspassword}"/>
              <property name="jdbc-url"
value="jdbc:oracle:thin:@${db.host.name}:${db.host.port}:${db.sid}"/>
               <property name="partition-name" value="soa-infra"/>
            </metadata-store>

Check the modified application with these adf-config.xml entries into a source control system. The following concrete example of a modified adf-config.xml file is provided.

 <metadata-store-usage id="mstore-usage_1">
            <metadata-store
class-name="oracle.mds.persistence.stores.db.DBMetadataStore">
              <property name="jdbc-userid" value="soainfra_mds"/>
              <property name="jdbc-password" value="soainfra_mds"/>
              <property name="jdbc-url"
value="jdbc:oracle:thin:@myhost56.us.oracle.com:15739:db2825"/>
              <property name="partition-name" value="soa-infra"/>
            </metadata-store>

You can use a variable for the user ID and password and replace the values prior to ant deployment in the application.

If the MDS database has a JNDI name, then use the following entries in adf-config.xml:

<metadata-store
  class-name="oracle.mds.persistence.stores.db.DBMetadataStore">
     <property name="jndi-datasource" value="${db.jndi.name}"/>
     <property name="partition-name" value="soa-infra"/>
</metadata-store>

XML_DOCUMENT_REF Table is Not Purged When the Looped or Parallel Purge Script Is Run in an Upgraded 11.1.1.5 Oracle SOA Sute Environment

Bug: 11797953
Added: 06-May-2011
Platform: All

When you run the looped or parallel purge script in an Oracle SOA Suite 11.1.1.5 environment that was upgraded from 11.1.1.3, the XML_DOCUMENT_REF table is not purged.

For example, assume you perform the following steps:

Upgrade an 11.1.1.3 Oracle SOA Suite environment with initiated instances to version 11.1.1.5 and create additional instances of all SOA composite applications.
Run the following scripts in your 11.1.1.5 environment:
- soa_purge_scripts.sql
- common/debug_on.sql
Check the records in the XML_DOCUMENT_REF table.
Run the looped or parallel purge script and recheck the XML_DOCUMENT_REF table.
Note that the XML_DOCUMENT_REF table has not been purged.

Workaround: You can use a DELETE or TRUNCATE SQL query to remove records from this table only after running the looped or parallel purge script.

SOA Composites Do Not Deploy for an SSL-enabled Database on Windows

Bug: 11060696
Added: 06-May-2011
Platform: Windows

When SSL is configured between the database and Oracle Fusion Middleware on Windows, SOA composite applications do not deploy to the SOA Server. This issue only occurs on Windows; composites deploy correctly on Linux.

Google Chrome Browser Limitation on Displaying XML

Bug: 11897467
Added: 06-May-2011
Platform: All

Consider the following:

At the top of the home page for a SOA composite application, click the Show WSDL and endpoint URI icon. The Service Endpoint and WSDL dialog displays with links for the endpoint and WSDL.
Click the WSDL link. Instead of the WSDL file contents being displayed, only a link is displayed.

Workaround: Right-click and select View Page Source to display the WSDL. Alternatively you can install a plug-in to see XML in the Google Chrome browser.

Cannot Undeploy All Composites at the Partition Level with the Undeploy SOA Composite Wizard in SSO-enabled Environments

Bug: 11825391

Platform: All

You cannot undeploy all composites at the partition level with the Undeploy SOA Composite wizard in Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control in SSO-enabled environments. You can only undeploy a single composite at a time with this wizard.

Workaround: Perform the following steps:

Delete the partition and create a new one.
Go to the SOA composite application home pages for each composite and undeploy each composite one-by-one.

Message Schema in UTF-16 Encoding Can Cause a Runtime Exception

Bug: 10178726
Added: 06-May-2011
Platform: All

You may encounter the following runtime parsing error if a message schema is encoded in UTF-16.

Unable to parse schema <name>.xsd

To resolve this error, change the schema encoding to UTF-8. In Source view in Oracle JDeveloper, set the encoding declaration in the XML prologue to encoding='UTF-8' for the message schema.

Maximum Heap Memory Size Recommendations on Windows 2008 Server

Bug: 12377414
Added: 29-April-2011
Platform: Windows 2008 Server

If you are running Oracle SOA Suite on a 64-bit Windows Server 2008 host, setting the heap memory size to 2G in the DOMAIN_HOME\bin\setSOADomainEnv.cmd file causes the server to crash.

Workaround: Set the heap memory size to 1.5G. For example:

-Xmx:1536M –Xms:1536M –Xgc:genpar

where -Xmx is the maximum heap memory size.

Removing Extra Set Text Dialog Characters

Bug: 9062901
Added: 29-April-2011
Platform: All

Adding & to the Text field of the Edit Text dialog in Oracle JDeveloper adds extra characters to the XSL file. For example, perform the following steps:

In the XSLT Mapper, right-click a string element in the target pane.
Select Set Text > Enter Text.
In the Edit Text dialog, enter & in the Text field, and click OK.
Go to the Source view of the XSL file, and see that an extra amp; is appended.
```
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="no">&amp;amp;</xsl:text>
```

Workaround: In Source view of the XSL file, remove the extra character amp; that was appended in the previous steps. The source view now looks as follows:

<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="no">&amp;</xsl:text>

Composites with Large While Loop Cases Cause Time Outs and Memory Errors

Bug: 9477914
Added: 29-April-2011
Platform: All

If your SOA composite application includes large while loop cases, you can receive time outs and out-of-memory errors due to large numbers of audit events accumulating. To support these environments, you can decouple the audit trail from the BPEL process service engine transaction by tuning the following properties at the BPEL process service engine level:

auditFlushEventThreshold: Controls how often the service engine flushes the audit events. When the audit event limit is reached, the service engine triggers a store call. Tune this size based on the application. The default value is 300 audit events.
auditFlushByteThreshold: Controls the approximate size of the batch. After each event, the size is calculated, including the details size. If the sum of the batch byte size exceeds the value of this property, a flush is triggered. The default value is 2 MB.

To set this property at the BPEL process service engine level:

Right-click soa-infra and select SOA Administration > BPEL Properties.
Click More BPEL Configuration Properties.
Click the properties described above.
In the Value field, specify an appropriate value and click Apply.

Note: These properties only impact the BPEL process audit trail. Human workflow, business rules, and Oracle Mediator are not affected by these settings.

Extra Business Event with Oracle Database 11.2.0.1 and One and Only One Level

Bug: 9558493
Added: 29-April-2011
Platform: All

If you subscribe to a business event with Oracle Mediator, select a consistency level of one and only one, and use a release 11.2.0.1 Oracle database for the SOA Infrastructure schema, the first event published produces two business events.

For example, if 20 messages are published, the subscriber receives 21 messages.

This issue occurs only with release 11.2.0.1 of the Oracle database and only one time after a restart of both the SOA Infrastructure database and the SOA Server. After that, the correct number of business events are inserted.

Inconsistent States for SOA Composite Application Instances in Recovery

Bug: 9574804
Added: 29-April-2011
Platform: All

When a SOA composite application instance is being recovered, callback messages and activities are displayed as Running, but invocation messages are displayed as Faulted in the State column of the Dashboard tab of a SOA composite application.

SOAP 1.2 <stackTrace> Fault Element Is Not Returned to the Caller

Bug: 9528496
Added: 29-April-2011
Platform: All

A fault from a SOAP 1.2 Web service contains a <stackTrace> element as part of the <exception> element. The <stackTrace> element provides debug information and assistance in understanding a fault. If you invoke a Web service directly from a client and a fault occurs, the <stackTrace> element is provided.

However, if a SOA composite application invokes a Web service (for example, through a BPEL process or Oracle Mediator) and a fault occurs, the <stackTrace> element is not passed back to the caller.

This is the expected behavior.

Composite State Not Updated After BPEL Recovery of Faulted Instance

Bug: 9035478
Added: 29-April-2011
Platform: All

The state of a failed SOA composite application instance is not updated after you successfully perform a recovery from the Recovery page of the BPEL service engine. For example, assume you perform the following steps.

Enable payload validation on the SOA Infrastructure Common Properties page in Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control Console.
Invoke an instance of a SOA composite application. If payload validation fails (for example, because required elements in the schema are missing), a failure occurs at the BPEL service component level during execution of an invoke activity.

The instance is displayed as faulted in the Dashboard and Instances pages of the composite.
Go to the Recovery page of the BPEL service engine and note that the same instance is pending recovery.
Disable payload validation on the SOA Infrastructure Common Properties page.
From the Recovery page of the BPEL service engine, select the instance and click Recover. This recovers the instance.
View the completed instance in the flow trace. However, note that the instance state is not updated and is still shown as faulted, whereas the instance has actually recovered and completed successfully.

This is the expected behavior. BPEL recovery created a new BPEL instance, which completed successfully. However, the previous BPEL instance (the one that failed schema validation) is still shown as faulted. The overall composite instance is counted as faulted, since one of its two component instances (the previous BPEL instance) is faulted.

WSDL Interface and EJB Version 2 Are Not Supported During Runtime

Bug: 10266818
Added: 29-April-2011
Platform: All

The Create EJB Service dialog enables you to select the following combination:

The WSDL radio button selection in the Interface section.
The EJB2 selection from the Version dropdown list.

This combination is not supported during runtime.

Composite Instance Is Flagged as Faulted Even After Fault Is Caught

Bug: 9941332
Added: 29-April-2011
Platform: All

After manually recovering a fault, a composite instance state in Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control Console can still display as faulted. For example, assume you perform the following steps:

Deploy a SOA composite application.
Test the web service from the Test Page in Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control Console by deliberately passing a float value for an input string.

A fault is correctly generated and the fault policy is applied. The composite instance is in a state requiring recovery.
Recover the fault by modifying the payload and passing an integer value for input.

The composite instance state changes to faulted.
Check the flow trace and it shows that the fault has actually recovered.

The instance tracking infrastructure does not maintain the relationship of upstream and downstream components. When an upstream component recovers from the recovery required state and a downstream component is in the faulted state, the faulted state cannot be reset; only the recovery required state is reset by the component of the recovery required instance. The downstream component of the faulted instance does not know that the message is replayed; therefore, the composite instance is not reset from the faulted state.

Faulted Instances Waiting for Manual Recovery Are Shown as Running

Bug: 9474574
Added: 29-April-2011
Platform: All

Faulted instances that are waiting for manual recovery are shown when you search for running instances. For example, if you go to the Instances page of the SOA composite application and specify a search criteria to find running instances, the faulted instances waiting for manual recovery are shown.

Composites Calling Other Composites with Concrete WSDL Files

Bug: 9585631
Added: 29-April-2011
Platform: All

If you use concrete WSDL files, be aware that the order of startup for SOA composite applications is not guaranteed.

For example, if one SOA composite application calls a second SOA composite application with a concrete WSDL file, and the first SOA composite application gets started before the second SOA composite application, an error occurs. This is because the first SOA composite application cannot load the second SOA composite application's WSDL file.

Transactional Adapter Status Displays as Complete Even If Rollback Occurs

Bug: 9298953
Added: 29-April-2011
Platform: All

If a transaction rollback occurs because of a business fault or exception, the instance trial for a transactional adapter does not indicate whether or not there was a rollback.

For example, assume you have an asynchronous BPEL process invoking a database adapter service. An assert expression is defined in the invoke activity. If the assert expression returns false, then all transactional invocations should roll back. However, the flow trace shows a status of completed for the database adapter service.

Failure to Add and Update WSDL Binding After Migration

Bug: 9012064
Added: 29-April-2011
Platform: All

When you open Oracle JDeveloper and attempt to migrate a 10.1.3 application that includes WSIF binding information to version 11g, migration creates a web service reference with no WSDL binding information (binding.wsif) in the composite.xml file. When you then attempt to update the reference with the same WSDL in Oracle JDeveloper, the binding information is not saved, and you receive a compilation error.

This is because Oracle JDeveloper is handling the typical migration use case in which the reference is updated with a new WSDL location (same WSDL, but in a different location). Therefore, when you do not change the WSDL location, nothing happens.

Workaround: Perform either of the following steps:

Delete the reference and create a new one using the same WSDL.
(Easiest) Copy the WSDL to a different file name, but do not change its contents. Then, update the reference using this WSDL copy. This changes the location of the WSDL and correctly creates the binding.ws.

Understanding BPEL Global Transaction and Adapter Local Transaction Issues

Bug: 8476752
Added: 29-April-2011
Platform: All

BPEL processes run in global transactions, while other Oracle SOA Suite components, such as adapters, run in local transactions. This can cause inconsistencies with the information displayed in Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control Console.

For example, assume you have a main synchronous BPEL process that invokes an asynchronous BPEL process. There is one database adapter insert in the main synchronous BPEL process before the invocation of the asynchronous BPEL process. There is a second database adapter insert in the asynchronous BPEL process, at which point a fault is expected to be thrown.

The expected behavior is as follows:

An initial insert into the database is performed from the main process that completes successfully as expected.
The second insert also executes in the asynchronous process, but after encountering the fault, the BPEL process rolls back the initial insert.

However, in Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control Console, the second database insert also shows as having completed successfully, instead of the having faulted.

This is because the database adapter invocation is logged (instance tracked) in a local transaction that is not part of the global BPEL JTA transaction. Therefore, the database adapter invocation completes successfully, but the subsequent BPEL process incurs a global rollback.

<invoke name="Invoke_1" inputVariable="Invoke_1_insert_InputVariable"
   partnerLink="db" portType="ns1:db_ptt" operation="insert"/>
. . .
. . .
   <throw name="Throw_2" faultName="bpelx:rollback"/>

At that point, instance tracking has already recorded the outbound invocation as successful (in a local transaction). If the adapter throws an exception, instance tracking logs this as a fault. Also note that some partner links may invoke a file adapter, which cannot be rolled back, even if the BPEL process later throws a bpelx:rollback.

Descriptions for Data Source JNDI Fields Are Interchanged

Granting the Same Role to the Same User Twice Causes Unclear WLST Message

Bug: 8454184
Added: 29-April-2011
Platform: All

Create a domain with Oracle WebCache and extend it with Oracle SOA Suite.
Associate the Oracle WebCache application with LDAP and grant the admin role to a user (for example, user name test) in Oracle Internet Directory using the WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST).
Grant the same role (admin role) to the same user again (test).

You expect to see a WLST error message such as the following:
```
This particular user already has admin role to access your application
```
Instead, you receive the following message, which is inaccurate:
```
Command FAILED, Reason: Cannot add principal to application role
```

Flow Trace Fails to Load with Numerous Correlated Composite Instances

Bug: 10077813
Added: 29-April-2011
Platform: All

The flow trace in Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control Console can fail to load in scenarios in which you have numerous correlated composite instances (for example, 100). This is because multiple midprocess receive activities result in separate ECIDs. Creating a consolidated audit trail involves sending separate requests for each ECID (for example, 100 separate queries for audit trails).

Workaround: Perform the following steps to increase the transaction timeout parameter.

Open the fabric-ejb.jar file.
Within this JAR file, open the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml file.
Set the transaction timeout parameter to a higher value.

Accessing Distributed Destinations (Queues and Topics) on the WebLogic Server JMS

A distributed destination is a set of destinations (queues, set of physical JMS queue members, or topics, set of physical JMS topic members) that are accessible as a single, logical destination to a client.

Note: For more information on distributed destinations, and a definition of terms used in this context, visit the Using Distributed Destinations pages at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs103//jms/dds.html

The JMS Adapter can process messages addressed to a distributed destination member after receiving available notification; it can process available, unavailable, and failure notifications related to a distributed destination member.To have the JMS Adapter process such messages, you must provide additional properties to provide access to distributed destinations ( queues or topics) with the JMS Adapter.

When you provide additional queues or topics, you can separate multiple FactoryProperty values with a semicolon. See the following example.

<property>
  <name>FactoryProperties</name>
  <value>ClientID=SOACLient2; TopicMessageDistributionAll=true</value>
</property>

Providing JMS Adapter Access to Distributed Destinations

You use three FactoryProperty parameter values to provide adapter access to distributed destinations, to specifically enable the Client ID to be shared by multiple connections, to enable the sharing of Durable subscriptions among multiple subscribers, and to specify whether you want one copy of a message per application or per endpoint. The properties include:

ClientIDPolicy

Use the FactoryProperties parameter ClientIDPolicy property with a value of UNRESTRICTED to enable the Client ID to be shared by multiple connections. The default, if no value is specified, is UNRESTRICTED. The non-default value is RESTRICTED. The default is used in almost all uses, so typically you do not have to set it. See the following example:
```
</property>
   <name>FactoryProperties</name>
<value>ClientIDPolicy=UNRESTRICTED</value>

 </property>
```
SubscriptionSharingPolicy

Use the FactoryProperties parameter with a value of SHARABLE to enable the sharing of Durable Subscriptions among multiple subscribers.

A value of SubscriptionSharingPolicy EXCLUSIVE means you cannot share Durable Subscriptions among multiple subscribers. If you do not specify a value, the default is SHARABLE; in most cases, you do not have to change the value.
```
 <property> 
    <name>FactoryProperties</name> 
    <value>SubscriptionSharingPolicy=SHARABLE</value> 
 </property>
 
```
TopicMessageDistributionAll

See the section on Distirbuted Topics for more information on the TopicMessageDistributionAll FactoryProperties parameter. You can set it as in the following example:
```
<property>
    <name>FactoryProperties</name>
    <value>TopicMessageDistributionAll=true</value>
</property>
```

The JMS Adapter with Distributed Queues and Distributed Topics

Specific inbound and outbound queue and error handling behaviors apply to the JMS Adapter with JMS Distributed Queues and Distributed Topics.

For inbound queues, the JMS Adapter creates an inbound poller thread and registers a notification listener with the WebLogic Server JMS on endpoint activation; it unregisters notification listener upon endpoint deactivation.

The JMS Adapter handles errors in the Distributed environment in the same fashion as such errors are handled in a non-Distributed environment: retriable exceptions lead to message retry; non-retriable exceptions lead to message rejection.

There is no change from the behavior of other Adapters to JMS adapter behavior when the Adapter produces a message to a Distributed Queue.

JMS messages for Distributed Destinations are produced by creating a MessageProducer for the Distributed Destination and not for a specific member.

Outbound errors are processed based on fault-policies previously defined for the outbound reference.

For inbound adapters with distributed topics, the JMS Adapter registers a notification listener with the WebLogic Server JMS on endpoint activation. The JMS Adapter creates an inbound poller thread for each available notification received from WebLogic Server JMS for a Distributed Topic member.

The inbound poller thread stops working and necessary cleanup is performed if an unavailable notification is received for the member for which the poller thread was created. The durable subscription is maintained in a similar fashion as in a non-Distributed topic scenario.

The Adapter unregisters the notification listener upon endpoint deactivation. Any message arriving at a Distributed Topic is processed based on the various settings used and the type of Distributed Destination in use: either one copy of a message per application, or one copy of a message per adapter endpoint.

The behaviors for each of these types of Distributed Destination are provided below.

One Copy of a Message Per Application (Default Behavior)

The default behavior for WebLogic Server Partitioned Distributed Topics when used with the JMS Adapter is to provide one copy of a message per application. Each message must be processed exactly once (that is, there is no duplicate processing.). In this scenario, where there is one copy of a message per application, the client id and subscription name are the same for every Distributed Destination and each adapter instance creates subscriptions on every member. The name is unique and immutable across server restarts.When using Partitioned Distributed Topics you must configure the JMS adapter to use unrestricted clientid and shared subscription policy. These two are the default settings for Distributed Destinations.When using Replicated Distributed Topics, you must configure JMS adapter to use the unrestricted clientid and shared subscription policy, which are the default settings. In addition, you must specify the following message selector, NOT JMS_WL_DDForwarded when defining an activation spec.

To achieve better performance, you should use Partitioned Distributed Topics.

Refer to the following example, consisting of a snippet of a connection instance from the weblogic-ra.xml file for a local cluster:

<property>
    <name>FactoryProperties</name>
    <value>ClientID=SOAClient1;</value>
</property>

One Copy Of a Message Per Adapter Endpoint

The second type of scenario you can employ with Distributed Topics is to have one copy of message per adapter endpoint. In this case, either the client id or the subscription name is unique for each adapter instance. The unique part of the member name is immutable across server restarts.

When using Partitioned Distributed Topics you have to configure the JMS adapter to use unrestricted clientid and shared subscription policy, which are the default settings. At the same time, to achieve subscription name uniqueness, JMS adapter requires that the property TopicMessageDistributionAll (default value of false) is set to true. You can define this property by setting the FactoryProperties property of the connection instance in the weblogic-ra.xml file. An example usage (a snippet of connection instance from a weblogic-ra.xml file for a local cluster) is shown below.

<name>FactoryProperties</name>
<value>ClientID=SOAClient2;TopicMessageDistributionAll=true</value>
</property>

To achieve better performance, you should use Partitioned Distributed Topics.

When using Replicated Distributed Topics, configure the JMS adapter to use unrestricted clientid and shared subscription policy, which are the default settings. At the same time, to achieve subscription name uniqueness, the JMS adapter requires that the property TopicMessageDistributionAll (default value of false) is set to true. You can define this property by setting the FactoryProperties property of the connection instance in weblogic-ra.xml. An example usage (snippet of connection instance from weblogic-ra.xml for a local cluster) is as shown below:

<name>FactoryProperties</name>
<value> ClientID=SOAClient2;TopicMessageDistributionAll=true</value>
</property>

In addition, you must specify the following message selector, NOT JMS_WL_DDForwarded when defining an activation spec.

Specifying the Message Selector when Defining an Activation Spec

Specify a message selector when defining an activation spec. The message selector is required when you create one copy of message per adapter Endpoint.

To specify the selector, use the Adapter Wizard when modeling a composite application that reads from Replicated Distributed Topic The metadata for the message selector you specify are captured in the .jca file.

Below is an example of a message selector defined in an activation spec.This message selector filters out the copy of the forwarded message when sending a message to a destination subscriber. This message selector is only applicable for when using Replicated Distributed Topics.

<activation-spec className="oracle.tip.adapter.jms.inbound.JmsConsumeActivationSpec">
     <property name="DestinationName" value="jms/DemoInTopic"/>
     <property name="UseMessageListener" value="false"/>
     <property name="DurableSubscriber" value="dsub1"/>
     <property name="MessageSelector" value="NOT JMS_WL_DDForwarded"/>
     <property name="PayloadType" value="TextMessage"/>
</activation-spec>

With Distributed Topics, retriable exceptions lead to message retry, while non- retriable exceptions lead to message rejection.

Available/Unavailable/Failure notification does not impact the working of the outbound adapter reference. The message is produced by creating a MessageProducer for the Distributed Destination and not for a specific member.

In the Distributed Topics environment, as elsewhere, an error is processed based on the fault policies defined for the outbound reference.

Compatibility and Migration

Remote Distributed Queue support is feasible back to the WebLogic Server JMS version 9.0, using the new DestinationAvailabilityListener API. A remote Distributed Topic cannot be supported if it is older than WebLogic 10.3.4, as “shared subscriptions”, “unrestricted client ids”, the “not forwarded” selector, and even “partitioned” Distributed Topics are not supported. Users will need to instead directly reference a DT member JNDI name, and deal with the single subscriber per subscription limitation.

Application <durable_subscriber_name> Is Already a Subscriber For Queue

Bug: 12903224

Application <subscriber-name> is Already a Subscriber For Queue

Bug: 12375483
Added: 26-October-2011
Platform: All

The Oracle AQ adapter has been changed. It now creates a new subscriber as specifiedby the Consumer property when you are modeling an adapter service. Previously, the subscriber was not created by the adapter but it was expected that the subscriber is created before the adapter service was executed. Due to the change, if the subscriber for the Oracle AQ queue already exists, you see the following warning in the log files. Oracle Application Adapter scenarios that rely on Oracle AQ adapter for interaction with EBS queues will be impacted by this as well.

<Subscriber <subscriber-name> already exists in the database. If the existing subscriber does not represent the correct subscriber, please undeploy the business process, remove the subscriber, and redeploy.>

ORA-24034: application <subscriber-name> is already a subscriber for queue <queue-name>

Managed Connection Factory Name Has to Be Modified in Case of Migrated AQ Adapter Composites

Bug: 12369977
Added: 20-April-2011
Platform: All

If you migrated AQ Adapter projects from Release 10.1.3.x to Release 11g, you need to manually update the
managed connection factory from

<non-managed-connection managedConnectionFactoryClassName=" oracle.tip.adapter.aq.AQManagedConnectionFactory">

<non-managed-connection managedConnectionFactoryClassName=" oracle.tip.adapter.aq.v2.jca.AQManagedConnectionFactory">

so you can use AQadapter in non-managed mode . Note that non-managed mode is not recommended and not supported in a production environment.To run the adapter in managed mode, you need to configure the connection factory JNDI in the WebLogic Server console.

DBADAPTER W.R.T. Sybase DB Gives Problem With BIGDATETIME & BIGTIME Data Type

Bug: 13392049
Added: 29-November-2011
Platform: All

BIGDATETIME and BIGTIME are new datatypes introduced in SYBASE 15.5. These should work acceptably with the Oracle Database Adapter.

If the Database is used as Inbound and Outbound and records from an inbound table are read and inserted in outbound table, the use of BIGDATETIME and BIGTIME data types create
am error.

Steps to reproduce the error:

Create two tables, each with BIGDATETIME and BIGTIME data type.
Use one table as inbound and other as outbound.
Poll records from first table and use merge operation to merge the read data in second table.
At run time, you will see an error.similar to:

  Caused by weblogic.jdbc.sybasebase.ddc: [FMWGEN][Sybase JDBC

Poll Operation with Distributed Polling Fails in Sybase 15.5.X

Bug: 13405718
Added: 28-November-2011
Platform: All

The expected behavior is that an error message should not be thrown when the distributed polling option is specified.

The actual behavior is that the following error message is thrown when the distributed polling option is specified.

Caused by: java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: [FMWGEN][Sybase JDBC Driver][Sybase]Incorrect syntax near 'NOWAIT'.

Steps to reproduce include the following::

Step-1: Create a DB POLL scenario with sequence polling option.

Run these scripts-

create table POLLTAB (ID1 integer, ID2 integer, LAST_UPDATE datetime) insert into POLLTAB values(1,2,'10-dec-2005 01:00:00.0') insert into POLLTAB values(1,2,'11-dec-2005 01:00:00.0') create table SEQTAB (SEQUPDATE_DATE datetime, POLLTABID varchar(100)) insert into SEQTAB values ('12-dec-2005 01:00:00.0', 'POLLTAB')

Step-2: At Step 10 of 13 of the Database Adapter Configuration Wizard, Select Disributed polling option.
Queries will show up such as:-

Pre Polling SQL: SELECT SEQUPDATE_DATE FROM SEQTAB HOLDLOCK NOWAIT WHERE (POLLTABID = 'POLLTAB') Polling SQL: SELECT ID1, ID2, LAST_UPDATE FROM dbo.POLLTAB WHERE ((LAST_UPDATE > #SEQUPDATE_DATE) AND (LAST_UPDATE < GETDATE())) ORDER BY LAST_UPDATE ASC After Read SQL: UPDATE SEQTAB SET SEQUPDATE_DATE = #SEQUPDATE_DATE WHERE (POLLTABID = 'POLLTAB')

Step-3: Complete the wizard and deploy the project.

Step-4: Insert record in POLLTAB

insert into POLLTAB values(1,2,'13-dec-2005 01:00:00.0')

Note: During deploy the error will only appear in the logs.

Date is Always Set To One Month Higher Than What is Set For the Message

Bug: 13450180
Added: 01-December-2011
Platform: All

Refer to Bug-13435861.

The date that is set through MQMD header is based on Gregorian Calendar. So, it is always set one month higher than that specified in the header.

For example: If I set, jca.mq.MQMD.PutDateTime to "12:24:2011" - the actual date that is set for the message is: January 24th, 2012. Similarly, if I set jca.mq.MQMD.PutDateTime to "10:24:2011" - the actual date that is set for the message is: November 24th, 2011.

Adapter for Oracle Applications (Oracle E-Business Suite Adapter)

Support for Business Events through Existing Partner Links

Bug: 13263084
Added: 27-October-2011
Platform: All

Important: This workaround is applicable only if Adapter for Oracle Applications is being used for listening to Event Groups. It is NOT needed if the Business Event is not part of any Event Group that is being listened to.

With the additional support for business event groups, perform the following steps to modify all existing partner links for outbound business events contained in an event group that is being listened to:

Updating the JCA property "MessageSelectorRule" for the existing Business Event partner links. This can be achieved by performing either one of the following steps:
- Rerunning the Adapter Configuration (Recommended): Rerunning or editing the configuration wizard for an existing partner link of an outbound business event (on Oracle JDeveloper 11.1.1.6.0) would update the artifacts with the appropriate MessageSelectorRule.
- Manually Updating the JCA Properties: Alternatively, modify the JCA property "MessageSelectorRule" for the business event partner link, located in the file XXX_apps.jca, as stated below:
  Change existing property from:
  
  <property name="MessageSelectorRule" value="tab.user_data.event_name = '<EVENT_NAME>'"/>
  
  To the following:
  
  <property name="MessageSelectorRule" value="tab.user_data.event_name = '<EVENT_NAME>' AND tab.user_data.getvalueforparameter('GROUP') IS NULL"/>
  
  <EVENT_NAME> is to be replaced with the name of the Business Event.
Delete the Existing Subscriber on WF_BPEL_Q of the corresponding Oracle Applications.
1. Undeploy the SOA Composite application containing the Business Event partner link.
2. Delete the subscriber using the following snippet:
  
  begin subscriber := sys.aq$_agent('<CONSUMER_NAME>', NULL, NULL); dbms_aqadm.remove_subscriber(queue_name => 'WF_BPEL_Q', subscriber => subscriber); end;
  <CONSUMER_NAME> is to be replaced with the name of the subscriber. It can be found in the XXX_apps.jca file as the value for the JCA property 'Consumer'.
Redeploy the SOA Composite application.

"DataSecurityCheck" Requires "IRepOverloadSeq" to Be Passed for Overloaded Functions

Bug: 13263451
Added: 27-October-2011
Platform: All

Adapter for Oracle Applications uses the following two new JCA properties to handle access control for overloaded PL/SQL APIs. This feature works in conjunction with the grants created from the Integration Repository user interface, and it does not depend on any profile options.

DataSecurityCheck
IRepOverloadSeq

If a user wants the Function Security Authorization check to be performed, then the following property information needs to be added in the WSDL file (XX_apps.jca):
<property name="DataSecurityCheck" value="yes"/>

However, the other property IRepOverloadSeq is derived automatically by Adapter for Oracle Applications at the design time during creation of the partner link. Based on these two properties, the function security check would be performed for the username, which is passed as a header property.

Please note that this security support would work with all interfaces which are available in the Integration Repository. For other interfaces, you need to enable the function security through the profile option "EBS Adapter for BPEL, Function Security Enabled" (EBS_ADAPTER_FUNCTION_SEC_ENABLED).

Platform: All

This problem affects every release the adapters are certified for: 11.1.1.4.0, 11.1.1.5.0, and 11.1.1.6.0.

The following two libraries are missing when starting the starting the design tool for the Application Adapters WLS (Application Explorer) after installation:

$MWH/Oracle_SOA1/soa/modules/oracle.soa.adapter_11.1.1/jca-binding-api.jar
$MWH/Oracle_SOA1/soa/modules/oracle.soa.adapter_11.1.1/adapter_xbeans.jar

In the Oracle Fusion Middleware Application Adapters Installation Guide for Oracle WebLogic Server, section 2.3.1 Starting Application Explorer, the guide states that users must run the setDomainEnv.sh to set the environment accordingly. The two libraries need to be added to the setDomainEnv scripts to avoid class loading exceptions.

The following exceptions may occur when using the Application Explorer to generate EIS adapter artifacts:

BPEL Process Manager

Default Value for MaxRecoverAttempt Property Has Changed

Bug: 14851177
Added: 06-November-2012
Platform: All

The default value for the System MBean Browser property MaxRecoverAttempt has changed from 0 to 2. The Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle SOA Suite incorrectly states that the default value is 0. Note that when you upgrade to 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6), the value for this property is not changed to 2.

Incorrect Value for oneWayDeliveryPolicy Property in Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle SOA Suite

Bug: 14186207
Added: 14-June-2012
Platform: All

Section "Introduction to Execution of One-way Invocations" of chapter "Transaction and Fault Propagation Semantics in BPEL Processes" of the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle SOA Suite describes the sync.cache value of the oneWayDeliveryPolicy property.

This value is incorrect. The correct value name is async.cache.

Accessing and Setting a Unit of Order Property for the JMS Adapter

Bug: 13726051
Added: 08-March-2012
Platform: All

To access and set a unit of order property for the JMS adapter, you must set two different properties in Oracle BPEL Designer.

For example, assume you have the following SOA composite application:

demoQueue -> Inbound JMS adapter > BPEL process service component -> Outbound JMS adapter -> demoQueue2

For demoQueue2 to successfully receive the value, set the following properties:

jca.jms.JMSProperty.JMS_BEA_UnitOfOrder
1. Click the Property tab in the receive activity.
2. Select jca.jms.JMSProperty.
3. In the Value column for this property, double-click the row.
4. Click the dots that are displayed to access the Adapter Property Value dialog.
5. Enter the unit of order value, and click OK.
6. In the receive activity, click OK.
7. Click Source in Oracle BPEL Designer to access the BPEL process in source mode.
8. Rename jca.jms.JMSProperty to jca.jms.JMSProperty.JMS_BEA_UnitOfOrder.
  The incoming unit of order value is available in this property.
9. Return to Design mode in Oracle BPEL Designer.
10. Assign this property to a variable.
  In the receive activity, the incoming unit of order value is obtained using property jca.jms.JMSProperty.JMS_BEA_UnitOfOrder.
jca.jms.WeblogicUnitOfOrder
1. Click the Property tab in the invoke activity.
2. Select jca.jms.WeblogicUnitOfOrder.
3. In the Type column for this property, double-click the row.
4. From the dropdown list, select output.
5. In the Value column, click the dots that are displayed to access the Adapter Property Value dialog.
6. Enter the unit of order value, and click OK.
7. In the invoke activity, click OK.
8. Assign the variable to this property.
  In the invoke activity, this property carries the unit of order value to the destination (outbound) queue (demoQueue2).

Cannot Delete BPEL Sensor Actions in Oracle JDeveloper

Bug: 13524175
Added: 06-January-2012
Platform: All

You cannot delete BPEL sensor actions in Oracle JDeveloper. For example, perform the following steps:

Add an activity to a BPEL process in a SOA composite application in Oracle JDeveloper.
Create a sensor for the activity with multiple sensor actions (for example, database, JMS, and others).
From the File main menu, select Save All.
Close all the files.
Double-click the BPEL process.
Open the sensor for the activity.
Delete one sensor action from the sensor.
From the File main menu, select Save All again.
Close all the files again.
Double-click the BPEL process and open the sensor.
Note that the deleted sensor action appears in the Edit Activity Sensor dialog.

Workaround: Manually delete the sensor action configurations from the sensorAction.xml source file.

Exit Activity with a Skip Condition in BPEL 2.0 Causes Instances to Go into a Wait/Running State

Bug: 13441415
Added: 09-December-2011
Platform: All

Do not use a skip condition in an exit activity in a BPEL 2.0 process of a SOA composite application. Doing so causes the instance to go into a wait/running state.

Cannot Create an Assert Execution Count on an Assert Activity

Bug: 13357948
Added: 09-December-2011
Platform: All

When testing BPEL process service components, you can specify an assert execution count to validate the number of times an activity is executed. However, you cannot specify an assert execution count on an assert activity.

For more information about testing BPEL process service components, see Chapter "Automating Testing of SOA Composite Applications" in the Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle SOA Suite

ClassNotFoundException Error with Custom Sensor Actions in BPEL 2.0 Processes

Bug: 13367410
Added: 09-December-2011
Platform: All

You receive a ClassNotFoundException error when using custom sensor actions in BPEL 2.0 processes. Custom sensor actions work correctly in BPEL 1.1 processes.

For example, perform the following steps:

Create a BPEL 2.0 process.
Create an activity, fault, or variable sensor.
Configure a custom sensor action for the sensor.
Class files for the sensor action target are in the SCA-INF/classes directory.
Deploy the SOA composite application and test the process.
Verify the sensor.
Sensor values are not published. A ClassNotFoundException error is displayed, although the class files are in SCA-INF/classes.

Oracle BPEL Process Manager 2.0 Limitations

Bug: 9735542
Added: 29-April-2011
Platform: All

The following BPEL 2.0 features are not implemented in Oracle BPEL Process Manager:

Termination handlers
Message exchanges
Fault handlers and termination handlers in an invoke activity. (This is the same as the BPEL 1.1 implementation of Oracle BPEL Process Manager.)

Workaround: Include the invoke activity in a scope activity.
Atomic assign activities. If an error occurs in the middle of an assign activity, all the changes roll back. This is the same as the BPEL 1.1 implementation of Oracle BPEL Process Manager.

Checkpoint Activity Wrongly Appears in Oracle BPEL Designer Context Menu

Bug: 10229577
Added: 29-April-2011
Platform: All

If you right-click inside your BPEL process in Oracle BPEL Designer and select Insert Into > Activities, note that checkpoint is incorrectly displayed in the list of activities. This activity is not supported, and selecting it does not insert it into the BPEL process.

The checkpoint activity has been replaced by the dehydrate activity, which is also available for selection in the same context menu.

Second XSD Created for API-Created, PL/SQL Partner Links with Complex Parameters

Bug: 10246232
Added: 29-April-2011
Platform: All

If you create a PL/SQL partner link with complex parameters from the API, a new XSD file is generated. If you then open the partner link in Oracle JDeveloper and make no modifications other than completing the flow and clicking the Apply button in the Edit Partner Link dialog, a second XSD file is also created.

Workaround: You must use the second XSD file.

Audit Trail Details Display in Server Language Instead of Browser Language

Bug: 9298375
Added: 29-April-2011
Platform: All

Audit trail information for a BPEL instance displays in the language of your server instead of the language of your web browser.

Do Not Specify the wsa and bpel Property Prefixes with the bpelx:property

Bug: 9124369
Added: 29-April-2011
Platform: All

Tables H-1 and H-2 of Appendix H, "Normalized Message Properties" of the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle SOA Suite describe the Oracle BPEL Process Manager and Oracle Web Services Addressing properties.To use these properties correctly with the bpelx:property in activities such as a receive activity, ensure that you do not include the wsa. or bpel. prefixes. For example:

<receive name="receiveInput" partnerLink="bpelprocessb_client"
portType="client:BPELProcessB" operation="process" variable="inputVariable"
 createInstance="yes">
           <bpelx:property name="action" variable="v1"/>
           <bpelx:property name="messageId" variable="v2"/>
           <bpelx:property name="relatesTo" variable="v3"/>
           <bpelx:property name="replyToAddress" variable="v4"/>
           <bpelx:property name="replyToPortType" variable="v5"/>
           <bpelx:property name="replyToService" variable="v6"/>
</receive>

Selecting the Key for an Entity Variable in the Browse Entity Variable Dialog

Bug: 9066090
Added: 29-April-2011
Platform: All

When selecting the local part of an entity key by browsing entity variables, entity icons display in the expanded element tree. These icons are identified by a blue x inside parentheses, and indicate which elements include entity keys. Selecting these elements does not update the Key Local Part or Key Namespace URI fields in the Specify Key dialog. Instead, you must expand these elements to select the actual key to get the key's local part and namespace. For example:

In the Bind Entity dialog, click the Add icon to invoke the Specify Key dialog.
To the right of the Key Local Part field, click the Browse Entity Variable icon.
Note that a blue x inside parentheses indicates which elements include entity keys. Do not select these elements.
Expand these elements to display the entity keys available for selection.
Select an entity key, and click OK.

The Key Local Part and Key Namespace URI fields of the Specify Key dialog are populated with information about your selection.

MIME Type for Voice Notification in BPEL Voice Activity Requires Modification

Bug: 9023004
Added: 29-April-2011
Platform: All

In a BPEL voice activity, the MIME type for message content generated in the source code is in text/vxml format. However, the message sent from the composite to the voice XML driver must be in text/plain format. This is because the voice XML driver adds the voice XML wrapper to the message before sending it to the destination point.

If the message content sent to the driver is in text/vxml format for the MIME type, a message delivery failure occurs.

Workaround: Manually change the MIME type for the voice payload content to be text/plain in Source mode in Oracle JDeveloper.

<scope name="VoiceApproval">
. . .
. . .
   <copy>
      <from expression="string('text/plain')"/>
      <to variable="varNotificationReq" part="VoicePayload"
      query="/VoicePayload/ns1:Content/ns1:MimeType"/>
   </copy>

Client Java API Is Not Backward Compatible

Bug: 8554297

: 29-April-2011
Platform: All

Custom applications coded with the Oracle BPEL Process Manager 10.1.3 Client Java API cannot currently be upgraded to the 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3, 11.1.1.4, 11.1.1.5, and 11.1.1.6) Client Java API. Programs coded to the Oracle BPEL Process Manager 10.1.3 API must be rewritten. In addition, the current API is not compatible with the versions of the 11g Release 1 11.1.1.1 and 11.1.1.2 API, although the differences are minimal.

The version of the API in 11g Release 1 11.1.1.3 has been finalized. It has been fully supported since that release and is backward compatible from that release onwards.

Business Activity Monitoring

Columnar View Group Names and Aggregates Are Displayed Incorrectly in Poll Mode

Bug: 13366307
Added: 16-December-2011
Platform: All

The columnar view can have data broken up into groups, and an option is available to display the aggregated values of each group at the end of the group. However, when using the columnar view in poll mode, the group names and aggregated values are displayed at the top, together, with the text for the values on top of the headings.

Workaround: Make a slight adjustment to the location of the affected fields in headers and footers. This will reset the position of the group names and aggregate values throughout the report.

To do this, go into create/edit mode. For one group, drag the group name, the aggregate (such as SUM or AVG), and the aggregate value to a slightly different location. The move can be very small. Save and view the report.

BAM and SOA Must Be on Separate Managed Servers When Running on WAS-AS Edition

bam_odi_configuration Script Fails on Windows for WLS

Bug: 13526386
Added: 23-December-2011
Platform: Windows and WLS

You might encounter errors when running the bam_odi_configuration script on Windows with WLS (beginning with PS5).

Workaround: Use the manual installation instructions in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle SOA Suite. Refer to the section titled Installing the Oracle Data Integrator Integration Files and use How to Manually Install Integration Files. You can also go directly to http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/integration.1111/e10224/bam_odi.htm#BABHDGBB. In addition, note the following additions to the documentation.

Different directory location is possible: ORACLE_HOME/modules mentioned in the documentation could be in your ORACLE_COMMON_HOME/modules directory. The location depends on the products you install.

Change to step 8 of the documentation: Use the following instead of step 8 in the manual installation instructions' subsection titled Copy files to Oracle Data Integrator Directories:

Copy the following file from ORACLE_HOME/bam/ODI/config to ODI_HOME/lib/config: BAMODIConfig.xml
Edit the BAMODIConfig.xml and edit this line, setting it to weblogic: <ServerPlatform>@@@ServerPlatform@@@</ServerPlatform>

Error Using the UPDATELAYOUT Parameter with the ICommand Import Command

Bug: 12948881
Updated: 13-September-2011
Platform: All

If you previously exported a folder of data objects, and you import it back using the -updatelayout parameter because there has been a change in the schema/layout of the data objects, you will encounter an import error message such as the following:

Import of "Folder /public/DataObject/folder1" failed. BAM-02558: Import failed at or near line -1 of file folder1do.xml. [ErrorSource="ImportExport", ErrorID="Import.FailedFileInfo"] BAM-02518: unrecognized parameter: updatelayout [ErrorSource="ImportExport", ErrorID="ExportImport.InvalidParameter"]

This is because the -updatelayout parameter is supported only on data objects and not on data object folders.

Workaround: In the XML import file, remove the line that specifies the data object folder definition, for example:

<Folder Name="/public/DataObject/Folder1" ID="1" Owner="OracleSystemUser" TypeRestriction="Dataset"/>

Then import the data objects again by issuing the same import command.

Insufficient Thread Pool Size for Active Data and Oracle BAM on IBM WebSphere

Bug: 13074810
Updated: 10-October-2011
Platform: All

On platforms that do not support an async servlet protocol, such as IBM WebSphere 7.x, Oracle BAM relies on dedicated servlet threads to service open Oracle BAM reports, including active data.

The symptoms of an insufficient thread pool configuration on IBM WebSphere are an unresponsive browser or absence of active data. Any browser-based user interaction with the Oracle BAM web applications will hang and eventually terminate with an error message.

Workaround: Configure the Web container thread pool on IBM WebSphere to ensure that a sufficient number of threads will be available to service client requests for Oracle BAM reports. Instructions for configuring the Web container thread pool on IBM WebSphere can be found here:

Resources Directory Not Created by Default when Auto-Generating Task Form

Bug: 13490399
Added: 24-December-2011
Platform: All

In this release, when auto-generating a task form, the Resources folder is not created by Oracle JDeveloper by default. To correct this, you need to ensure that the file "wf_client_config.xml" is in the WEB-INF/classes directory in the deployment. Follow these steps:

Create wf_client_config.xml that is used to set soa server details and to set the type of protocol (SOAP/REMOTE).

To set this file to class path, launch Jdev and create file wf_client_config.xml under some directory as $PROJECT_HOME/Application Sources directory so that the file will be in the WEB-INF/classes in the deployment.

Following is the sample wf_client_config.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<workflowServicesClientConfiguration xmlns=
"http://xmlns.oracle.com/bpel/services/client">
<server name="default" default="true" clientType="SOAP">
<localClient>
<participateInClientTransaction>false</participateInClientTransaction>
</localClient>
<remoteClient>
<serverURL>t3://<SOA SERVER HOST>:<SOA_SERVER_PORT>/soa-infra</serverURL>
<initialContextFactory>weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory
</initialContextFactory>
<participateInClientTransaction>false</participateInClientTransaction>
</remoteClient>
<soapClient>
<rootEndPointURL>http://<SOA SERVER HOST>:<SOA_SERVER_PORT></rootEndPointURL>

Issue When Working with Business Process Composer or Workspace Installations Across Multiple Domains

Bug: 13330119
Added: 13-November-2011
Platform: All

When working with Oracle Business Process Composer or Oracle Business Process Workspace installations across multiple domains, you must use separate browser sessions. Accessing different domains using the same browser session causes a conflict between the sessions that requires you to re-login.

Workaround: Use separate browser sessions to access each domain.

Potential problems when opening projects created in previous versions of Oracle BPM

Bug: 12931563
Added: 13-November-2011
Platform: All

Previous versions of Oracle BPM enabled you to save a BPM project templates to regular projects. When opening a project in the current version that was once a project template where some flow objects were sealed, there may still be flags set within the .bpmn file. When opening a project, you may not be able to edit these flow objects in Business Process Composer.

Workaround: Verify that there are no residual flags set within the .bpmn files for each process in your project.

Loopback is not supported within a BPM process impementing activity guides.

Bug: 12907859
Added: 13-November-2011
Platform: All

When process flow returns to a completed activity or task in an activity guide, new instance of the task gets instantiated. In the current version of Oracle BPM, two task instances are shown in the activity guide tree during runtime when loop back ocurrs in the process flow. Also, the completed activity guide is displayed incorrectly due to mismatch in the tasks remaining created at design time.

Workaround: At design-time, ensure that the loopback condition does not occur within your BPMN processes.

No Auto-Migration While Redeploying Incompatible Process with "Force Deploy" Property Set to TRUE

Bug: 12918436
Added: 07-November-2011
Platform: All

If a process is incompatible with a new implementation, and if, during design time, the process is implemented with both "keep running instances" and "force deploy" set to true, then, on deployment, instances of that process go into pending migration and the component is suspended. The "force deploy" property is set in the composite.xml file in Oracle JDeveloper. The property is oracle.bpm.bpmn.force.deploy.

BPM Workspace Page Takes Only One Entry in BPM_USERAPPLICATIONDATA; Limits Test-to-Production (T2P) Page Migration

Bug: 12876023
Added: 07-November-2011
Platform: All

In BPM Workspace, no matter how many workspace pages are created, all the info is recorded in one row of BPM_USERAPPLICATIONDATA with:

APPLICATIONDATANAME = WAM

APPLICATIONDATATYPE = PART_PROPS

This limits the Test-to-Production (T2P) page migration to either all or nothing.

It also limits the T2P page migration to replace all the existing pages.

For example:

Test env has following defined in page: "Widget1" , "Widget2" , "Widget3"

Prod env has following defined in page: "WidgetA" , "WidgetB"

In this example, T2P cannot just export "Widget1" and append to production which results to "WidgetA", "WidgetB", "Widget1". Only option after the export and import is that the production environment will have "Widget1", "Widget2", "Widget" defined, and "WidgetA", "WidgetB" removed.

The Initiator Node List Shows the Names of the Possible Initiator Flow Objects

Bug: 9229890
Added: 29-April-2011
Platform: All

In the implementation properties of message events and send and receive tasks, the Initiator Node list shows the name of the initiator flow object. A BPMN process might contain multiple flow objects with the same name. It is a good practice to use a different name for all of the flow objects in the process. Not doing so causes the Initiator Node list to contain multiple items with the same name, making it difficult to identify the one you want to select.

Limitations When Calling a BPMN Process from a Spring Component

Bug: 9840691
Added: 29-April-2011
Platform: All

The following limitations apply when calling a BPMN process from a Spring component:

You cannot call a BPMN process from a Spring component that does not declare an interface.
You cannot create a Spring component reference based on a BPMN process interface. Currently Oracle BPM Studio does not provide a way to create Java classes based on BPMN process instances.
You must name the WSDL used to represent the Java interface of a Spring component with the same name of the Java interface. For example, if the name of the Java interface is SpringInterface.java then the name of the WSDL must be SpringInterface.wsdl.
The option Append Suffix in the Update WSDL Interface action is not supported because the name of the WSDL must match the name of the Java interface. If the user selects this option, then BPM Studio shows an error message stating this feature is not enabled.

Patching an SOA Application with Shared Resource Bundles

Bug: 10636799
Added: 29-April-2011
Platform: All

You can patch an SOA application with shared resource bundles so that you can reference resources in a shared location, instead of creating new resource bundles.

To patch an SOA application with shared resource bundles:

Create the java resource bundle files containing key-value pairs of the display fields.
Compile the files and bundle the resource bundle classes into a jar.
The following example shows a packaging structure:

resource/oracle/bpel/activityguide/resource/AGResourceBundle.class resource/oracle/bpel/activityguide/resource/AGResourceBundle_fr.class
Deploy the resource bundle to MDS:
1. In Oracle JDeveloper, create a new Project deployment profile of archive type Jar.
2. In the Contributors section, add the resource bundle you created.
3. Save the profile.
4. Create a new application deployment profile of archive type SOA Bundle.
5. In the Contributors section, add the Jar profile you created to this SOA Bundle.
  If required, combine with SOA-SAR profile for combined deployment.
6. Save the profile.
7. Deploy the SOA bundle from Oracle JDeveloper to an SOA Server.
  Note: For details on how to deploy a resource bundle to MDS, see "Deploying and Using Shared Metadata Across SOA Composite Applications in Oracle JDeveloper" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle SOA Suite.
In Oracle JDeveloper edit the composite.xml file.
In the Structure window, right click the composite element.
Select Insert Inside Composite.
Select Property.
Set name of the property to oracle.soa.composite.classloader.ext.dir and the value of the property to the package structure of the jar you created.
The following XML fragment shows how to set the required property:

<property name="oracle.soa.composite.classloader.ext.dir"> /apps/resource </property>
Localize the display fields of the Guided Business Process in Oracle JDeveloper.
- Choose External option during translation to indicate that an external resource bundle is used.
- Provide the fully qualified name of the class in the resource bundle field. For example:
  oracle.bpel.activityguide.resource.AGResourceBundle

Process Workspace Login Error When Using External LDAP Directory

Bug: 10008507
Added: 29-April-2011
Platform: All

If you are using an external LDAP directory, you may receive the following error message when logging in to Process Workspace: "No Role found matching the criteria".

This may occur under the following conditions:

You have used Oracle WebLogic Server Console to configure a user base and a group base to search for and authenticate users.
The user base or group base has a referral to another user base or group base.

In this case, the Process Workspace identity service does not list the users or groups and, as a result, the login to Process Workspace fails to authenticate the user.

This can occur when there are two bases to be searched, one for users and one for groups, but the UR API is not properly set.

To resolve this, in the Oracle WebLogic Server Console, provide a root-level search base for both users and groups so that referrals are resolved automatically since you are providing a higher node in the search tree.

If this solution degrades performance as a result of a substantially larger search base, you can limit this search by editing specific property in the located at domain-home/config/fmwconfig/.

The following is an example of an edited jps-config.xmlfile:

jps-config.xml
<extendedProperty>
<name>user.search.bases</name>
<values>
<value>cn=users1,dc=us,dc=oracle,dc=com</value>
<value>cn=users2,dc=us,dc=oracle,dc=com</value>

When Documentation Server Is Down, Launching a Group Space for an Instance Causes Error "Instance 'null' is not available"

Bug: 9502887
Added: 29-April-2011
Platform: All

If you have a Process Spaces group space open and you bring down the documentation service, then, when you launch instance group space for an instance, you see that an instance group space is created. However, when you open the instance group space, you receive the error message "Instance 'null' is not available". This happens because the newly created group space does not have the custom attribute instanceId.

For the workaround, the administrator should do the following:

Navigate to Settings in the process instance group space.
Navigate to custom attributes.
Create the custom attribute instanceId and associate the process instance identifier as the value.

Parent Taskflow of a Rules Dictionary Taskflow Needs to Be Notified When Handles a Save Operation

Bug: 11787788
Added: 13-February-2012
Platform: All

When a Rules Dictionary Taskflow performs a Save operation, the parent tasklow (of the Rules Dictionary taskflow) needs to be notified.

In the code, you need to add parent-action for both save with and without validation as the following:

Platform: IBM AIX on POWER Systems (64-Bit), HP-UX Itanium, HP-UX PA-RISC (64-Bit), Oracle Solaris

If you see the error "Too Many Open Files" while deploying an Oracle Business Rules Decision Component, you might need to increase the file descriptor limit.

The "Too many open files" issue is due to JDK6 bugs. These bugs could occur at runtime or at compile time, depending on the number of JAR files used and a few other variations around the use of file descriptors by the JDK/JRE.

Workaround: Increase the limit of file descriptors. Per-process, per-user file descriptor limit can be preconfigured by default to the value 1024. If you increase this limit to 4096 or larger, the new value should resolve this issue.

These are the potentially relevant JDK6 bugs:

And a blog entry describes this issue at:

http://coldfused.blogspot.com/2007/02/mystery-of-too-many-open-files.html

The command to increase per-process, per-user file descriptor differs across Operating Systems and shells. It is typically done with ulimit on UNIX platforms so consult the man pages for ulimit for your Operating System and shell.

For example:

$ ulimit -n 4096

LDAP Cleanup Is Required to Avoid Monitor User to Have Administrator Privileges

Bug: 13342300
Added: 06-December-2011
Platform: All

In some cases, as the following, in Oracle B2B, a Host Monitor user can perform an Administrator's task, such as creating new users and change own user roles:

In a clean environment (LDAP, B2B install), log on to the Oracle B2B console as weblogic.
Import any given schema.
In the Partner tab, under Host, create a new user called myUser1 with the Administrator role.
Save and login as myUser1 to ensure that the user has administrator privilegesn and log out.
Log on as weblogic.
Under Administration -> Purge, purge the Design Metadata.
Re-create the user, myUser1 (under Host), but this time as a Monitor user.
Save and log out.
Log on as myUser1. Notice that the user has Administrator privileges (instead of monitor).

This is an undesired situation.

Workaround: On the LDAP server, ensure that you clean up the entry for the user (myUser1 that was created as Administrator) before creating a new user with the same name (but with different role.)

Complex Event Processing

Solaris Platform-Specific Installer Is Not Supported on Solaris 11

Bug: 1345548
Updated: 6-December-2011
Platform: Solaris

The Solaris platform-specific installer for Complex Event Processing (CEP) is not supported on Solaris 11 due to the installer’s embedding the JRockit JVM. For example, installation using ofm_ocep_solaris_11.1.1.6.0_64_disk1_1of1.bin is not supported.

Workaround: To work around this issue, you can install CEP by using its generic installer, ofm_ocep_generic_11.1.1.6.0_disk1_1of1.jar. Run the installer using a non-JRockit version of the Oracle JVM for Solaris (HotSpot JVM for Solaris). You can use a command such as the following:

java -d64 -jar ofm_ocep_generic_11.1.1.6.0_disk1_1of1.jar

bundler.sh Fails Due to Incorrect Classpath

Bug: 13522497
Updated: 21-December-2011
Platform: All

The bundler.sh file included with this release has an incorrect classpath that causes the tool to fail. The script's classpath contains a reference to org.osgi.eclipse.equinox_3.5.1.jar, but should refer to org.osgi.eclipse.equinox_3.6.2.jar.

Ordinarily, with bundler.sh you can create an OSGi bundle wrapper, a bundle JAR you can deploy to an OSGi container.

Workaround: You can open the bundler.sh file and edit the classpath to include the correct JAR file. You can also use the Oracle CEP IDE for Eclipse or the bnd tool to create the bundle JAR file.

Creating a Two-Way SSL Connection with WebLogic Server

Bug: 12771217
Updated: 10-November-2011
Platform: All

While making a two-way SSL connection with WebLogic Server, use the following steps.

Copy the DemoTrust.jks and DemoIdentity.jks from weblogic server to the CEP domain and run the following command. The command is displayed here on multiple lines for readability, but it should be run on a single line.

keytool -importkeystore
    -srckeystore <domain_home>\defaultserver\ssl\DefaultIdentity.jks
    -srcstorepass DemoIdentityKeyStorePassPhrase
    -srcalias demoidentity
    -srckeypass DemoIdentityPassPhrase
    -destkeystore <domain_home>\defaultserver\ssl\server.jks
    -deststorepass welcome
    -destalias demoidentity
    -destkeypass welcome

Using the java command, pass the following properties to the startwlevs.sh script:

"%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java" %JVM_ARGS% %DGC% %DEBUG%
    -Dwlevs.home="%USER_INSTALL_DIR%"
    -Dbea.home="%BEA_HOME%"
    -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=ssl\DemoTrust.jks
    -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStoreType=JKS
    -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=DemoTrustKeyStorePassPhrase
    -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=ssl\server.jks
    -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStoreType=JKS
    -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=welcome
    -Dweblogic.StdoutDebugEnabled=true
    -Dssl.debug=true
    -jar "%USER_INSTALL_DIR%\bin\wlevs.jar" %ARGS%

In the WebLogic Server console, enable two-way SSL by setting “Two Way Client Cert Behavior” to “Client Certs Requested and Enforced”.
In the WebLogic Server console, if your client certificate doesn’t specify the hostname, set “Hostname Verification” to “None”.
If you are using your certificate instead of the certificate from “demoIdentity.jks”, you must import the certificate into the server’s trust store using the JDK keytool.

Composites with Multiple Revisions Causes Conflict

Bug: 12921856
Added: November, 2011
Platform: All

In the SOA Suite Harvester, a composite can have multiple versions, such as Composite (1.0) and Composite (2.0). When a composite is harvested, it creates child assets that are a part of that composite. When both of the composites are harvested, the child assets are related to both versions (Composite 1.0 and 2.0) in Oracle Enterprise Repository. This is incorrect, as each composite should have its own children.

This issue is resolved in this release.

Incorrect Error Message When a Non-Existent UCM User Tries to Add UCM Attachments

Bug: 12917983
Added: 12-September-2011
Platform: All

If you create a task with a single assignee that does not exist in UCM server, and you then enable UCM in the task editor without adding any extra properties, then, when you log into Worklist and try to add a UCM attachment, the following incorrect error message appears:

Error occurred while inserting a task attachment record.

Error occurred while inserting attachment liu10.txt for task a6ad8d42-f588-4e10-aacd-8f4542d2ca6d.

Check the underlying exception and the database connection information. If the error persists, contact Oracle Support Services.

Mediator

Pass-through Scenarios Are Not Supported With Scalable DOM

Bug: 13503420
Updated: 03-January-2012
Platform: All

Oracle Mediator components with the following characteristics fail to assign the message input to the output variable at runtime:

The component is a pass-through component (that is, the Assign routing rules are implicit and undefined)
The schema is Opaque
The input is SDOM

Workaround: Contact Oracle Support to obtain a patch using bug reference 13409557. You can also define explicit Assign routing rules for Oracle Mediator components of this type, but this can cause performance issues for messages with large payloads.

populateLookupXRefRow Throws an Exception in Custom Mode

Bug: 13358019
Updated: 09-November-2011
Platform: All

When you use the populateLookupXRefRow function in LINK mode and both the reference value and the value to be added exist in the database, the unique constraint exception is caught and the value to be added is returned by the function. In custom mode, the value to be added is not returned and an exception is thrown.

Duplicate Message Processing for Standard Resequencer Does Not Complete After Purging

Bug: 13043897
Updated: 04-November-2011
Platform: All

When you run the purge scripts and remove Oracle Mediator sequenced messages, group information is retained for standard resequencers. If at a later time, a duplicate message is received with the same group ID and sequence ID as a message that was processed prior to the purge, that message is shown as Running in Oracle Enterprise Manager and the duplicate message is not processed. This only occurs when using the resequencer and does not cause any runtime failure.

Faults Continue to Appear on Faults Tab After Recovery

Bug: 11894501
Updated: 15-April-2011
Platform: All

If you recover a faulted resequencer instance for Oracle Mediator and the first recovery fails, two recoverable faults appear in the instance flow trace of the Faults tab. If you then retry and succeed in recovering the instance, that instance still has the Recovery Required status on the Instances tab and the two recoverable faults still appear in the flow trace of the Faults tab.

This only occurs when using the resequencer, and it does not affect runtime performance.

Oracle Mediator Logs Errors After Daylight Savings Time Change

Bug: 12328625
Updated: 15-April-2011
Platform: All

Oracle Mediator's container ID processes use timestamps that are regularly updated in a database table by each container in a cluster to determine whether they are alive or not. After changing to daylight savings time (that is, the clock moves forward) it is possible that some timestamps become invalid; for example, when the clock is moving forward from 2:00 AM to 3:00 AM, 2:10 AM is an invalid time. This can result in the following for Oracle Mediator runtime components:

Existing running containers report ORA-01878 SQL errors in the log files for the duration of the container ID lease timeout interval, and they recover automatically after the timeout interval is over.
If a container stops responding during the invalid time period, on restart that container might report the SQL error continuously and not recover automatically. This results in messages becoming stuck in the running state for resequencer and parallel routing mediator components.

Workaround: Run one of the following SQL commands against the SOAINFRA schema in your database after the change to daylight savings time.

For an Oracle database: UPDATE MEDIATOR_CONTAINERID_LEASE SET RENEWAL_TIME = SYSTIMESTAMP

For a SQL Server database: UPDATE MEDIATOR_CONTAINERID_LEASE SET RENEWAL_TIME = GETDATE()

For a DB2 database: UPDATE MEDIATOR_CONTAINERID_LEASE SET RENEWAL_TIME = current timestamp

Recoverable Case Instances for the Resequencer Are Tracked Incorrectly

Bug: 9574644
Updated: 15-April-2011
Platform: All

In Enterprise Manager, the number of recoverable case instances shown for the Oracle Mediator resequencer equals the number of retries made to that instance rather than the number of actual recoverable instances. This information is for tracking purposes only, and does not result in duplicate messages being sent.

Multi-lingual Support Depends on Database Character Set

Bug:8369798
Updated: 15-April-2011
Platform: All

To avoid any unexpected results when using the multi-language support feature for some functions in Oracle Mediator, ensure that these characters are supported by the character set of the database you are using. For example, for the Unit Test function, if the initial message payload in the unit test includes characters that are not supported by the database character set, the characters fail to display correctly in the unit test section of the Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control Console. This issue does not occur for a database that supports Unicode characters.

Oracle Mediator - BPEL Process Manager Callback Processing

Bug: 8472652
Updated: 15-April-2011
Platform: All

If Oracle Mediator calls a BPEL process with callback processing and timeout, the best practice is to explicitly handle the callback exceptions returned from Oracle Mediator in the BPEL process. This ensures that the global transaction associated with callback processing gets committed and is not rolled back. This way, the timeout handler configured in Oracle Mediator will not kick in even if the callback handling in Oracle Mediator fails.

Oracle Mediator Components May Cause SOA Suite Server to Run Out of Memory

Bug: 9067255
Updated: 15-April-2011
Platform: All

Oracle Mediator applications may run out of memory under heavy loads. For example, if the rate of incoming messages to Oracle Mediator is faster than the rate of callback messages, memory accumulation occurs in the Oracle Mediator cache.

Workaround: To fix this issue, change the cache size through the Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control Console by adding the following property in the Parameters attribute of the Oracle Mediator configuration properties:

mediator.runtime_cache.limit=value

For example, if you set the value of the mediator.runtime_cache.limit property to 100, the number of objects that can be stored in the cache is limited to 100. You can switch off caching completely by setting this property to zero.

Oracle Mediator Advanced Functions Do Not Work in Design Time

Bug: 9072259
Updated: 15-April-2011
Platform: All

Oracle Mediator advanced functions, such as mhdr:getCompositeName() and mhdr:getHeader, require a runtime context to execute. If these functions are run using the Mapper Test feature during design time, the target XML file is not generated and the following error is thrown:

XML-22044: (Error) Extension function error: Error invoking 'getComponentName':'

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 0, Size: 0'

These functions work correctly in the runtime environment.

A Null Pointer Exception Occurs When There Are No Routing Rules

Bug: 9557297
Updated: 15-April-2011
Platform: All

To have a valid configuration, each Oracle Mediator component must include routing rules. If a component has no routing rules, Oracle Mediator does nothing at runtime and a null pointer exception occurs at mediator.dispatch.CaseExecutionPlan.getEffectiveExecutableCases.

Upgraded Environments Point to Previous Coherence Version

Bug: 14746251
Added: 30-January-2013
Platform: All

When Oracle Fusion Middleware is upgraded to version 11.1.1.6, a copy of the Coherence 3.6 JAR file remains in the Oracle Fusion Middleware file system. The jrf-coherence.jar file in oracle_common/modules/oracle.jrf_11.1.1/ continues to reference the old file, as can be seen in the server log files.

Workaround: Obtain patch 14746251 from the Patches & Updates page on Oracle Support.

Changes to Carriage Return Handling in XML in 11.1.1.6

Bug: NA
Added: 21-September-2012
Platform: All

An update was made to Apache XMLBeans, which corrects handling of carriage return characters in an XML document. The update was made because XMLBeans did not properly escape carriage return characters (\r). If the document contained , it was correctly unescaped to \r when parsed into XMLBeans; however, \r was not escaped when it was streamed out. This resulted in an invalid XML document because \r is invalid in XML. After the fix to XMLBeans, \r is correctly escaped to .

If you upgrade to version 11.1.1.6 and currently have a workaround for the above issue in place, you need to modify how return characters are handled. For example, if the workaround was to escape  a second time to &#13; in order for it to be streamed back out as , you need to remove the second escape to avoid validation errors.

Service Bus Installation Guide Incorrectly States that 64-bit IDE Not Supported

Bug: 13573801
Added: 13-January-2012
Platform: All

The Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle Service Bus (11.1.1.6.0) incorrectly states that if you are installing Service Bus on a 64-bit machine you must select a Custom installation and deselect the IDE option. You can safely disregard those instructions. The Service Bus IDE, Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse (OEPE), is supported on 64-bit operating systems in Service Bus 11.1.1.6.0.

Before installing the Service Bus IDE on a 64-bit operating system, install Oracle WebLogic Server and OEPE for the 64-bit platform you are using. You can download the installation files from the Prerequisites & Recommended Install Process section of the Oracle Service Bus Download page.

For a generic installation, install WebLogic Server first and then unzip the OEPE installation file (oepe-indigo-all-in-one-11.1.1.8.0.201110211138-win32-x86_64.zip (for 64-bit Windows) or oepe-indigo-all-in-one-11.1.1.8.0.201110211138-linux-gtk-x86_64.zip (for 64-bit Unix)) into a new directory in the middleware home directory. This way, Service Bus will automatically detect the OEPE location. If you perform a custom installation of Oracle Service Bus, be sure to select Oracle Service Bus IDE on the Components to Install window of the installation wizard. On the Product Home Location window, the OEPE Location field is the OEPE home directory. To verify the IDE installation, launch Eclipse from the OEPE home directory. On the IDE, click Help > About Eclipse Platform > Installation Details. Oracle Server Bus Libraries and Oracle Service Bus Tooling should appear in the list.

Performance Patch

Bug: 13573621
Added: 01-March-2012
Platform: All

Changes in Oracle WebLogic Server may impact performance for Service Bus services. A patch has been created to address this. Oracle recommends applying the patch for all platforms, including Exalogic deployments. Click here to download and install the performance patch. Make sure to review the readme.txt file before installing the patch.

Note: This patch disables the Concurrent Request Manager capability in WebLogic Server.

IBM WebSphere MQ Support

Bug: NA
Added: 15-March-2012
Platform: All

Support for IBM WebSphere MQ client and server software versions 5.3 and 6.0 will be deprecated according to IBM statements regarding the support lifecycle. To view information about IBM support for WebSphere MQ, see http://www-01.ibm.com/software/support/lifecycle/index_w.html.

OWSM Performance Impacts

Bug: 13364492
Added: 13-January-2012
Platform: All

New features have been introduced to Oracle Web Services Manager (OWSM) that may have minor impact to performance for Service Bus services that use OWSM policy. A patch will be made available and recommended.

Upgrade to Service Bus 11.1.1.6.0 Requires Upgrade to WLS 10.3.6 to Ensure IDE Support

Bug: 13147687
Added: 13-January-2012
Platform: All

Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6.0) supports both Oracle WebLogic Server release 10.3.5 and 10.3.6. However, if you have already configured Oracle Service Bus 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.5.0) with Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3.5 and you want to update Oracle Service Bus with Oracle Service Bus IDE to 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6.0), then you must also update Oracle WebLogic Server to release 10.3.6. Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3.5 is not supported in an Oracle Service Bus IDE 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6.0) environment.

Workaround: If you must update Oracle Service Bus to 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6.0), and you want to keep your Oracle WebLogic Server release at 10.3.5, then you must disable Oracle Service Bus IDE by manually deleting the following file:

MW_HOME/oepe_11.1.1.8.0/dropins/oracle.osb.ide.lnk

HTTP Business Service Connection Timeout Not Honored on Windows 2008 64-bit

Bug: 13097895
Added: 13-January-2012
Platform: Windows 2008 64-bit

Connection timeouts set on HTTP business services ("Connection Timeout" property in the HTTP transport configuration) are not honored in Windows 2008 64-bit environments.

Error Indicators in the OEPE Project Explorer Appear Only at the Configuration Level Directory

Bug: 13097882
Added: 13-January-2012
Platform: All

In the Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse (OEPE) Project Explorer view, when an error exists in a resource, an error indicator appears only on the configuration-level directory. No error indicators appear on directories or resources within the configuration to help pinpoint the error.

Workaround

If you do not plan to work on WLST development, disable/uninstall the Oracle WebLogic Scripting Tools, which uses the PyDev feature that causes the issue. The scripting tools are located at OEPE_HOME/plugins/oracle.eclipse.tools.weblogic.scripting*.jar. Delete the scripting JAR files.
Uninstall the PyDev feature: In the OEPE menu bar, choose Windows > Preference > Install/Update, and click the Uninstall or update link. In the Installation Details window, uninstall the PyDev feature.

Updates to Message Protection Handling

Bug: 12972692
Added: 13-January-2012
Platform: All

This issue affects Service Bus services that use message protection when you upgrade from previous versions of Service Bus 11g to Service Bus 11.1.1.6.0.

In previous releases of Service Bus 11g, business services always enforced message protection using the keystore.recipient.alias property that identified a public certificate stored in the domain-level keystore.

In Service Bus 11.1.1.6.0, if a proxy service implements a message protection policy, the service's base64-encoded public certificate is published in the effective WSDL. The WSDL-bound certificate is the service's public key by default, as determined by the Encryption Key defined for the proxy service. Any business service created from that WSDL now uses the WSDL-bound identity certificate for message protection instead of the keystore.recipient.alias property.

If no certificate is bound to a WSDL, the keystore.recipient.alias property is used, as in previous releases.

Existing Server Extended with Oracle Service Bus for Developers Template Fails to Start

Bug: 12343853
Updated: 29-April-2011
Platform: All

After extending an Oracle WebLogic Server domain with the "Oracle Service Bus for developers" domain template, and using Derby as the data source for the JMS reporting provider, the extended server fails to start because of errors related to Derby database initialization.

Workaround: Set the DERBY_FLAG to true in your DOMAIN_HOME/bin/setDomainEnv.cmd(.sh) script. For example:

set DERBY_FLAG = true

For Derby best practices and troubleshooting information, see "Running Multiple Development Domains with Derby" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Development Guide for Oracle Service Bus at http://www.oracle.com/pls/as1111/lookup?id=OSBDV1892.

Console Logout Does Not Work when Logging In Through OAM

Bug: 11729325
Updated: 10-February-2011
Platform: Linux

When using Oracle Access Manager 10g or 11g to log in to the Oracle Service Bus Administration Console, clicking Logout does not end the session. It returns you to the Oracle Service Bus Administration Console home page, still logged in, rather than logging you out and returning you to the Oracle Access Manager login page.

Workaround: To end the Oracle Service Bus Administration Console session, close your browser.

Starting Managed Server with IPv6 Host and Port Throws BEA-000000 Error

Bug: 10029204
Updated: 14-January-2011
Platform: All

In the development environment, when starting a managed server by passing the managed server's IPv6 address and port, Oracle Service Bus throws a BEA-000000 "Cannot contact Admin server" error.

To work around this issue, create a new key-pair, then reconfigure SSL on the Admin server so that the key-pair in the server-side SSL certificate uses the host name of your IPv6 managed server. Then restart your managed server.

For more information on SSL, see "Configuring SSL" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Securing Oracle WebLogic Server at http://www.oracle.com/pls/as1111/lookup?id=SECMG384.

Session Activation Error Message in Firefox

Bug: 9958876
Updated: 14-January-2011
Platform: All

When activating an Oracle Service Bus session in Firefox, session activation takes longer than three minutes and you see an error message stating, "Another session operation is in progress. Please retry later."

The error message is harmless, and you can ignore it. The server is still processing the session activation, and you can wait for activation to finish.

The error message occurs when the Firefox network connection is set to "Manual proxy configuration" and the "HTTP Proxy" value is used for all listed protocols. The message is triggered by Firefox's auto-refresh occurring in conjunction with the proxy settings.

If you want to ensure the error message does not appear rather than ignoring it, change the Firefox proxy settings to another option, such as "Auto-detect proxy settings for this network" or "Automatic proxy configuration URL." To access these options in Firefox, choose Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Settings.

Password Field Not Editable in Domain Template on Linux

Bug: 10394900
Updated: 14-January-2011
Platform: Linux

On Linux, when creating a new domain using a developer template in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard, the password and confirm password fields are not editable, and you cannot enter a password to create a domain.

To work around this issue, do one of the following:

To work around the issue each time it occurs: Click the close window "x" button in the upper right corner of the Configuration Wizard. In the confirmation dialog that appears, click "No" to return to the Configuration Wizard. Now you can enter the password and confirmation password.

or
To fix the issue permanently:
1. Kill a scim processes. For example, kill "pgrep scim"
2. Modify (or create) the file ~/.scim/config to include the following line:
  /FrontEnd/X11/Dynamic = true (follow case sensitivity)
3. If you are running VNC, restart the VNC server.
4. Run the Configuration Wizard again.

JAVA_HOME Incorrect in setDomainEnv After Domain Upgrade on 64-Bit Install

Bug: 10404384
Updated: 14-January-2011
Platform: All

On 64-bit installations of Oracle Service Bus, after upgrading a domain from 11g Release 1 Patch Set 2 (11.1.1.3.0) to 11g Release 1 Patch Set 3 (11.1.1.4.0), the JAVA_HOME value in the upgraded domain's setDomainEnv.cmd/sh file is incorrect.

The reason JAVA_HOME is not set correctly on 64-bit installations is because the 64-bit installer does not include a JDK.

To work around this issue, edit the setDomainEnv.cmd/sh in the upgraded domain with the correct JAVA_HOME for the JDK you are using.

Oracle Application Adapter Installation Failure on Windows

Bug: 10424957
Updated: 14-January-2011
Platform: Windows

When installing the Oracle Application Adapters for use with Oracle Service Bus, such as the Oracle Application Adapter for SAP R/3, you receive the following error:
"The ORACLE_HOME doesn't have the right version of SOA or OSB. The adapters cannot be installed."

Because the Oracle Application Adapters installer gets the JAVA_HOME value from the Windows registry, any space in the JAVA_HOME value in the registry causes the installation failure. For example, if the JavaHome value is C:\Program Files\Java\jre6, the space between "Program" and "Files" causes the failure.

To work around the issue:

Back up your Windows registry.
In Windows, choose Start > Run, enter regedit in the Run dialog box, and click OK.
In the registry editor, go to the following registry folder:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\version_number
Modify the JavaHome and RuntimeLib values so that they point to a path that does not contain spaces in the directory names.
Changing the value may require you to either point to a different Java home without spaces in the directory names or rename the path of a Java home to remove spaces.

Inbound Adapters Throw Error on Payload Size Limit

Bug: 9969535
Updated: 14-January-2011
Platform: All

When using the Oracle JCA adapters with Oracle Service Bus, Oracle Service Bus throws an error when the inbound payload size (DOM size) exceeds what is allowed by the payloadSizeThreshold adapter endpoint property.

To work around this issue, increase the size of the payloadSizeThreshold property on the JCA adapter endpoint configuration.

MQ Transport in Binding Mode Throws Error on Linux

Bug: 10020344
Updated: 14-January-2011
Platform: Linux

When Oracle Service Bus and IBM WebSphere MQ are installed on the same Linux system, configuring the Oracle Service Bus MQ transport to run in binding mode causes an error.

To work around this issue, perform the following steps:

Make sure Oracle Service Bus and IBM WebSphere MQ are installed using the same user credentials.
Add the MQ Java library path to the Oracle Service Bus DOMAIN_HOME/bin/setDomainEnv.sh file. For example:
-Djava.library.path=/opt/mqm/java/lib
Oracle JRockit: When using Oracle JRockit on Linux, add the LD_PRELOAD property to setDomainEnv.sh as well. For example:
LD_PRELOAD=${JAVA_HOME}/jre/lib/i386/libjsig.so

Publishing Services to IPv6 Server Fails

Bug: 10032879
Updated: 14-January-2011
Platform: All

Publishing services from the development environment to a domain that uses IPv6 addressing results in a MalformedURLException error.

To work around this issue, when specifying the host name in the "Define New Server" window in the Servers view of the IDE, use either the server host name or specify the IPv6 server address in square brackets. For example: [2001:0db8:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff].

Resources Disappear When Server Encoding Changes

Bug: 9488927
Updated: 14-January-2011
Platform: All

After creating resources in the Oracle Service Bus Console, then changing the server encoding and restarting the server with the different encoding, only English language resources (if any) appear in the Oracle Service Bus Console. Non-English resources do not appear.

For example, if you start the server using ja_JP.utf8 encoding and create resources in the Oracle Service Bus Console with Japanese, Korean, and English names, then restart the server using a different encoding such as ko_KR.euckr, only the English-name resources appear in the Oracle Service Bus Console.

In this situation, the missing resources still exist but are not displayed because of the encoding change.

To work around this issue, switch back to the original server encoding and restart the server. Oracle Service Bus does not support server encoding changes.

Healthcare Integration

Start JDeveloper in Preview Mode

Bug: 13801385
Updated: 1-March-2012
Platform: All
Release: 11.1.1.6.0

To ensure access to the healthcare adapter in JDeveloper, start JDeveloper in preview mode. For example:
./jdev -J"-DPREVIEW_MODE=true"

Unable to Discard Beyond the 25th Message in Sequence Viewer

Bug: 13777933
Added: 29-February-2012
Platform: All

In Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration, you cannot use the dashboard sequence viewer to discard messages beyond the 25th message.

Resubmitting Failed Messages

Bug: 13745321
Added: 29-February-2012
Platform: All

When you try to again resubmit a failed message sfter resubmitting it once, the message goes into the MSG_WAIT_TRANSMIT state and is treated as a new message.

Workaround: If you want to resubmit a failed message for the second time, you should always resubmit the resubmitted message (the message that was resubmitted subsequent to a failure) and should not try to resubmit the failed message directly. The resubmitted message cannot be easily tracked from the reports page, so you can use the dashboard sequence viewer to find the newly created resubmitted message.

Resubmit Count Is Not Incremented

Bug: 13745311
Added: 29-February-2012
Platform: All

When you resubmit an application message, the resubmit count is not incremented and shown as zero. However, commandline utilities enable you to use exclresubmit and maxcount to resubmit messages. So, if you use maxcount and resubmit only a subset of failed messages, you will be unable to resubmit the messages using commandline with exclresubmit.

Workaround: You should not use exclresubmit when performing commandline resubmit of messages.

Establishing TCP Reconnection for Client Endpoints upon Server Restart

Bug: 13729924
Added: 29-February-2012
Platform: All

For Client endpoints (outbound), whenever the servers are restarted, to re-establish the TCP connection with the external server (Listener), you need to:

Disable and re-enable the Use JMS Queue as Default option under Settings > Runtime in the Administration tab of Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration console.

This preceding step is mandatory. If you do not perform the step, once the servers restart, messages will not be sent successfully, although the Client endpoint is displayed as enabled in the Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration console.

Audit Policy Is Supported Only for the Default User

Bug: 13723449
Added: 16-February-2012
Platform: All

Currently, the audit policies in Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration is supported only for the default user.

Bug: 13719712
Added: 14-February-2012
Platform: All

In a dashboard, after clicking the Refresh icon, the data displayed under Message Processing Overview is not in sync with the information displayed in the Message Volume chart.

JMS Settings for Inbound Messages in Case of Server Crash or Fallover

Bug: 13699603
Added: 13-February-2012
Platform: All

In the case of a server crash or fallover, messages do not get forwarded from the inactive JMS Queue(because of server shutdown) to the active JMSQueue. An additional JMS Queue setting is required to enable the inbound messages to complete processing in the case of server crash or fallover.

You need to do the following:

In the Weblogic Server console, navigate to Services->Messaging->JMSModules->SOAJMSModule->dist_B2BEventQueue_auto->
Configuration->General.
In the Forward Delay field, enter any value (in seconds) greater than 0 .

This is the time (in seconds) that the Queue waits for a consumer to attach a message before forwarding the message to another member queue with an active consumer.

Test to Production (T2P) Does Not Update Large Payload and Callout Directories

Bug: 13696574
Added: 13-February-2012
Platform: All

T2P does not automatically update large payload and callout directories. You have to manually update these post T2P in the production environment by using the Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration console.

Outbound Messages Remain in MSG_WAIT_TRANSMIT State

Bug: 13695933
Added: 13-February-2012
Platform: All

At times, you may see that run-time messages remain in the MSG_WAIT_TRANSMIT state. This can happen if the Dispatcher is not started or it has stopped working.

Workaround: In these cases, restart the Dispatcher.

Test to Production (T2P) Does Not Update FTP User Password

Bug: 13696558
Added: 13-February-2012
Platform: All

Typically, FTP endpoint parameters, such as FTP host and user name, automatically gets updated from test to production environment

However, currently, T2P does not automatically update the FTP user password. You have to manually update the FTP user password post T2P in the production environment by using the Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration console.

Internal Receive from Channel Gets Disabled Post Upgrade

Bug: 13686347
Added: 13-February-2012
Platform: All

When you upgrade Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration from version 11.1.1.5.0 to 11.1.1.6.0, the internal receive from channel (internal listening channel) gets disabled.

You need to enable internal receive from channels from the Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration console, else you may encounter runtime errors.

Error Message Purged from Report Remains in the Sequence Manager Table

Bug: 13710274
Added: 13-February-2012
Platform: All

When you purge an error message from a report, the message is not deleted from the b2b_sequence_manager table. As a result, any subsequent messages that are sent are not delivered and these messages get stuck in the MSG_WAIT_TRANSMIT state.

Workaround: You need to delete (purged) the error message from the Dashboard (Sequence Manager), and not from the report itself.

Default Dashboard and Report Settings Are Changed in Production Environment

Bug: 13696484
Added: 13-February-2012
Platform: All

In the Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration console, in the production environment, the settings for the default dashboard is specified as None. In the Dashboard tab, you need to specify the name of the dashboard that you want to launch by default.

Similarly, in the production environment, the settings for the default report is specified as Last 24 hours. In the Reports tab, you need to set the type of report that you want to launch by default.

Any Change in Document Details Causes Redeploy of Endpoint Documents

Bug: 13696117
Added: 13-February-2012
Platform: All

When you modify the document parameters under the document version, type, or definition in the Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration console, the change causes an immediate redeployment of the supported documents for associated endpoints without any warning or confirmation prompts.

Messages Getting Stuck in the MSG_WAIT_FA State

Bug: 13656089
Added: 13-February-2012
Platform: All

With sequencing enabled, when inbound messages are sent to an Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration Server endpoint, if the connection is dropped, some messages get stuck in the MSG_WAIT_FA state due to the failure in sending Functional Acknowledgement because of the lost connection.

Workaround: You can process the stuck messages by using either Purge or Resubmit in the Report tab to enable the flow of messages to move forward.

Server Restart Required for Oracle B2B Server Property to Take Effect

Bug: 13644558
Added: 13-February-2012
Platform: All

Bug: 13620702
Added: 13-February-2012
Platform: All

In the Windows operating system, in a cluster environment, the Endpoint Coherence Cache of Oracle B2B should start up in a distributed mode. To achieve this, you need to:

Set the b2b.HAInstance property to true. This allows the Oracle B2B Coherence Cache to start up in a distributed mode.
While setting up the nodes of the cluster, you should configure the WKA settings for coherence distributed cache set up. For more information, see the Setting Up a Cluster chapter in Oracle Coherence Developer's Guide.

Oracle Healthcare Commandline Utilities Does Not Have Validation for Batch Commandline Parameters

Bug: 13601735
Added: 13-February-2012
Platform: All

Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration does not provide validation for batch commandline parameters. You need to provide the valid parameter values, otherwise you may encounter unexpected behavior.

Usage of Oracle B2B Console and Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration Console Together Is Not Supported

Bug: 13598854
Added: 13-February-2012
Platform: All

As of the current release, there is no support for using both Oracle B2B and Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration simultaneously for single installation of Oracle SOA Suite. The metadata created by an Oracle B2B user is not supported for running Healthcare-related scenarios in the Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration console and vice-versa.

Date/Timestamp in Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration Audit Log Does Not Contain Timezone Information

Bug: 13589357
Added: 13-February-2012
Platform: All

The date/timestamp in Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration audit log, which is available in fmw_home/user_projects/domains/domain_name/servers/managed_server_name/logs/auditlogs/SOA-HCFP/audit.log, does not contain the server timezone information.

Acknowledgement Mode Values Are Not Localized

Bug: 13589326
Added: 13-February-2012
Platform: All

When you create endpoints in a localized instance (localized in any of the nine Admin languages) of Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration, the values for the Acknowledgement Mode list are in the English language (not localized).

Name and Description Labels in the Document Creation Page Are Displayed Vertically

Bug: 13589289
Added: 13-February-2012
Platform: All

When you access the Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration console in Korean (Ko), simplified Chinese (zh_CN), traditional Chinese (zh_TW), or Japanese (Ja) browser languages, while creating a custom document, the Name and Description field labels are displayed vertically. However, the issue is not reproducible in any of the European languages.

Dispatcher Count Value Resets to Zero on Purging the Repository

Bug: 13579035
Added: 13-February-2012
Platform: All

By default, Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration users need to use dispatcher count values as 1. The postinstall script, which is required to be run to set up Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration, changes the dispatcher count from 0 to 1. However, this count resets to 0 after you purge the entire repository.

Failure Condition Check Boxes in Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration Audit Policy Page are Enabled

Bug: 13573090
Added: 13-February-2012
Platform: All

The audit policy page for Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration in Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control console enables you to audit both Success and Failure conditions for each event (such as User Login and User Logout). You can configure the audit policy by selecting or deselecting the Success or Failure condition Enable Audit check boxes for these events.

For the current release, only Success conditions are tracked. However, the Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control console still allows you to select or deselect Failure conditions check boxes even though Failure conditions are not tracked.

Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration Throws oracle.mds.naming.InvalidReferenceTypeException

Bug: 13563887
Added: 13-February-2012

Bug: 13532714
Added: 13-February-2012
Platform: All

In Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration dashboard, the status of even those messages that get blocked (which are actually not sent successfully) in the sequence are displayed as sent.

Enabling FTP Sequencing

Bug: 13526698
Added: 13-February-2012
Platform: All

To enable FTP sequencing in Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration, you have to configure the FTP listening channel with the following parameters:

Sequencing
TimeStamp Format
TimeStamp Offset
TimeStamp Source

The following are sample values for the parameters:

Sequencing: true
TimeStamp Format: 43,55,'MMM d yyyy'
TimeStamp Offset: +0000

Business Message Detail Displays Interchange Control Number and Group Control Number

Bug: 13508343
Added: 13-February-2012
Platform: All

The Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration console displays Interchange Control Number and Group Control Number in the Business message details. However, these numbers should not be displayed because these are EDI-specific data and are not present in HL7 messages.

Changes Made to Dashboard Are Lost

Bug: 13463337
Added: 13-February-2012
Platform: All

When you customize a dashboard in the Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration console by modifying the available settings, the changes made to the dashboard are lost when you switch to other tabs, such as the Designer or the Reports tab, in the console.

Number of Messages Shown in Dashboard Is Wrong When Endpoint Is Disabled and Then Enabled

Bug: 13426326
Added: 13-February-2012
Platform: All

The number of messages displayed in a dashboard does not reflect correctly when an endpoint is disabled and subsequently enabled.

For example, the dashboard for a given endpoint, which is confogured to show the messages published in the last hour, displays five messages. You then disable the endpoint and subsequently enable it. The dashboard does not display any message.

Here, "Last Hour" means messages processed in the current clock hour, and not the message transactions within 60 mins of current time. For example, if a message was submitted at 4:55 PM and the endpoint was re-enabled at 5:01 PM, the last hour includes only transactions processed since 5:00 PM and will not included those submitted at 4:55 PM.

Resubmit of Inbound Message, Which Failed Due to Duplicate Transaction, Passes

Bug: 13383138
Added: 13-February-2012
Platform: All

A Wire message of an inbound 850 that had previously failed due to detection of the message as a duplicate passes on resubmit. Typically, a duplicated message should throw an error on Wire message resubmit, unless the original message is purged from the system.

Change in Default Behavior of Dispatcher

Bug: 13261298
Added: 13-February-2012
Platform: All

In the current release of Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration, the outbound/inbound dispatcher count is 0 by default. This causes an issue in Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration, because by default, sequencing is enabled in MLLP and TCP Healthcare transport protocols. So default values of the dispatcher and sequencing flags in transport are not in sync.

Workaround: After you you install Oracle SOA Suite, run the postinstall script to set up Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration that among other actions, sets the Dispatcher count to 1.

Endpoint Dashboards Are Not Imported

Bug: 13255434
Updated: 25-January-2012
Platform: All

If you import a healthcare integration export file from a previous version, the endpoint dashboards created in the earlier version are not included in the import file. The dashboards need to be recreated in the new environment.

11.1.x Database Requires a Materialized View Patch

Bug: 13255212
Added: 13-February-2012
Platform: All

Oracle Database 11.1.x associated with Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration requires a Materialized View patch. Without this patch, the materialized view refresh is slower.

Avoiding Stackoverflow Exception During Import

Bug: 12951614
Added: 11-September-2011
Platform: All

When trying to import a big block of healthcare metadata, such as endpoints to an already-existing large metadata, you may encounter the Stackoverflow exception.
For example, if you try to to import 200 new endpoints to an existing set of 600 endpoints, you may encounter the exception.

Workaround: You need to add the following JVM argument in the setSOADomainEnv.sh file located at $DOMAIN_HOME/bin:

PORT_MEM_ARGS="-Xss512k -Xms768m -Xmx1536m"

Location of HL7 Document Configuration Export ZIP File

Bug: 12943051
Added: 14-February-2012
Platform: All

The HL7 document configuration export ZIP file is required to populate the HL7 document structure. Once you run post-install script to set up Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration, you can find this file in the following folder:
SOA_HOME/soa/thirdparty/soahcfp/hl7_doctypes

Runtime Settings Might Not Appear on the Healthcare Integration User Interface

Bug: 12904895
Updated: 12-September-2011
Platform: All

The runtime settings might not appear on the Administration → Settings → Runtime page of the healthcare integration user interface.

Workaround: If the runtime settings do not appear, follow the steps below to export the repository data, purge design-time data, and reimport the repository data.

Launch the healthcare integration user interface in a web browser. The URL is http://hostname:port_number/healthcare.
Under the Designer tab, click the Administration sub-tab and then double-click Repository Management.
Click Export and then click Continue on the dialog that appears.
Save the file to a temporary directory.
Click Purge Design Metadata.
Note: If you have any enabled endpoints, you need to disable them before you can purge the metadata.
In the Import section, browse to and select the file you exported in steps 3 and 4 above, and then click Import.

Oracle B2B Mapsets Are Visible on the Healthcare Integration User Interface

Bug: 12859777
Updated: 12-September-2011
Platform: All

When you create a mapset using the Oracle B2B Console, those mapsets also appear, and can be edited, on the healthcare integration user interface. This include mapsets for messaging types that are not valid in the healthcare integration user interface (such as HIPAA). These mapsets can be viewed, but should not be modified, from the healthcare integration user interface.

The Map EMS File Created from Specbuilder Does Not Contain Trigger Event

Bug: 12854042
Added: 11-September-2011
Platform: All

When you create a map EMS file for mapping between a source and a target HL7 documents by using the Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration user interface, the GuidelineInfo section of the map file contains only the message type (such as ADT) information. It does not capture information regarding the trigger event, such as A01. This creates a mismatch in the display of the document type in the healthcare integration user interface, because the DocType is set as ADT and not ADT_A01. So, a correct map file that is uploaded using the user interface will not automatically detect the source and target document definitions used in the map file. If there is no available ADT document, then the definitions will not get preselected in the user interface. Even if an ADT document is available, then the document type ADT will be selected and not the ADT_A01 as expected.

Workaround: You need to apply a hotfix after installing the Oracle Document Editor that is bundled with the Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration Feature Pack release. You can download the hotfix from support.oracle.com under the patch number 12797702.

Please note that because Oracle Document Editor is available only for the Windows platform, the hotfix is only applicable on the Windows platform.

Exception Queue Cannot be Created and Specified in the Same Session

Bug: 12850898
Updated: 12-September-2011
Platform: All

When you create an internal delivery channel using the Send to Internal function, you cannot specify that queue as the exception queue in the runtime settings. The queue does not appear in the drop-down list of options for the exception queue.

Workaround: Log out of the healthcare integration user interface and then log back in again. The newly created queue appears in the drop-down list for the exception queue.

Reports Appear to be Missing Messages

Bug: 12846032
Updated: 12-September-2011
Platform: All

The reports on the healthcare integration user interface only display messages that have generated an associated business message. If an error occurs before a business message can be generated, then the message does not appear in the reports.

Limited Number of Dynamic Tabs for Dashboard and Reports Can Be Opened

Bug: 12845568
Added: 11-September-2011
Platform: All

When the maximum number of dynamic tabs are open in Dashboard or Reports tab, then you cannot open any more new dynamic tabs. The maximum number of dynamic tabs that can be opened at a time is 15.

Workaround: You need to close few tabs to be able to open new ones.
