SOA - Using ora:getPreference() in BPEL process to get Environment specific Values

Hi Folks,

There are scenarios, when we have SOA Services (Composites), which uses Environment specific data in the transaction.
For Example - You have created Logging or BAM Service, which can be deployed across various Environments like Staging(Testing), Production. Now to identify the Transaction between various environment, you may need some sort of Identifiers. Like :

Environment Identifier
Development DEV
Test         TST
Production PRD

To achieve this, there could be multiple solutions. Here I am going to discuss one solution which uses function
ora:getPreference()

The syntax of function is  :
ora:getPreference('environmentName')

Here 'environmentName' is variable name.



Steps of implementation:

STEP 1 : Use Assign Action in BPEL flow & add function ora:getPreference('environmentName') in required field.

STEP 2 :  Once your code is compiled & Deployed to Server, you need to set the value of this variable in EM console.

STEP 3 : Login to EM console. On the left go to : Farm_soa_domain > Weblogic Domain > soa_domain > right mouseclick and select ‘System MBean Browser’.

STEP 4 : Then Navigate to : Defined MBeans > oracle.soa.config > Server : soa_server1 > SCAComposite > your_project > SCAComposite.SCAComponent > your bpel_process.

STEP 5 : Change the Value, and Apply.


Thats all !

OSB 12c - For Each action

Hey guys !

In this Post I am going through the For Each functionality in OSB 12c.

Use Case 

Simple Integration  Scenarios, Where Source system payload has Repeated Nodes, Target System expects one node at a time.

Design

Step 1 : 

Create a OSB Project, Add a Pipeline. Inside Pipeline Add a For Each Action.

Step 2:

Provide the required data in For Each Properties. Shown below

This is all we need to Implement For Each. 

However we will have to further process the Data, This could depend on your Requirement.

For the Demo Purpose, I am Sending this data to a Business Service using Publish Action.

Step 3:

Add a Publish Action inside For Each. Add a Assign action to see the Payload of the For Each iteration in Testing. Screens Below

Step 4:

Export and Deploy your code to Server.

Testing

Request Payload
