SOA 12c: How to remove folder and Files from MDS

The folder or individual files can be removed from SOA using WLST scripts. WLST scripts can also be used for deployment of MDS. Enterprise Manager can also be used to export and import the MDS.

Please click here to see how to use Enterprise Manager to import and export MDS

However, for deletion, please refer to following steps

On the FMW server, navigate to #ORACLE_COMMON/bin

cd ${ORACLE_HOME}/oracle_common/common/bin

Execute wlst.sh file:

wlst.sh

Give the command

connect('weblogic','password','t3://WeblogicHost:7001') //Please use the Weblogic Admin Server Port here.

Give The Command to remove a specific folder. This command will remove the /app/Test folder.

sca_removeSharedData(' http://soaHost:ManagedServerPort','Test')

sca_removeSharedData(' http://localhost:8001','Test')

You should see following message:

wls:/soainfra/serverConfig/> sca_removeSharedData(' http://localhost:8000','Test')

serverURL =  http://localhost:8000

folderName = Test

user = None

INFO: Creating HTTP connection to host:localhost, port:8000

Enter username and password for realm 'default' on host localhost:8000

Authentication Scheme: Basic

Username: weblogic

Password:

INFO: Received HTTP response from the server, response code=200

---->Remove shared data success.

Give The Command to remove a specific file. This command will remove the file: /apps/Test/SOAPService.wsdl'

deleteMetadata(application='soa-infra',server='soa_server1',docs='/apps/Test/SOAPService.wsdl')

Salesforce: Generate Enterprise WSDL

Oracle Virtual Box Only Showing on 32 Bit Options

While trying to configure the SOA 12c on a VM running on 64 bit O/S, when trying to install Ubuntu Linux we observed that Oracle Virtual Box only shows 32 bit options

• To fix this issue, we need to ensure that in BIOS settings the VM support is enabled
• Hyper -V needs to be disabled. To do this Enter Windows Key + q and type in turn windows features on or off

         Ensure that the Hyper-V is unchecked and restart your machine.

• You should now be able to see all 64 bit options.

Weblogic 10.3.6: Registering the Jersey JAX-RS RI Shared Libraries With Your WebLogic Server Instances

Shared Java EE libraries are registered with one or more WebLogic Server instances by deploying them to the target servers and indicating that the deployments are to be shared. Shared Java EE libraries must be targeted to the same WebLogic Server instances you want to deploy applications that reference the libraries.

When a referencing application is deployed, WebLogic Server merges the shared library files with the application. If you try to deploy a referencing application to a server instance that has not registered a required library, deployment of the referencing application fails with following exception

[Extension-Name: jsr311-api, exact-match: false], [Extension-Name: jersey-bundle, exact-match: false].>

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer

The following steps show how to deploy the Jersey JAX-RS RI Shared Libraries With Your WebLogic Server Instances.

• Change to the directory C:\WLS10-3-6\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\server\bin
• Execute the cmd file setWLSEnv.cmd

•  Execute the command

java weblogic.Deployer -verbose -noexit -source C:\WLS10-3-6\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\common\deployable-libraries\jersey-bundle-1.1.5.1.war -targets AdminServer -adminurl t3://localhost:7001 -user weblogic -password welcome1 -deploy -library

• Execute the command.

java weblogic.Deployer -verbose -noexit -source C:\WLS10-3-6\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\common\deployable-libraries\jsr311-api-1.1.1.war -targets AdminServer -adminurl t3://localhost:7001 -user weblogic -password welcome1 -deploy -library

Weblogic 12.2.1:Java - JMX to get the Server Name and port

 The following section of code discusses how to get the Server Name and Port for the managed server or a cluster where the API is deployed.

     public static Integer getPort() {

       Integer port=null; 

       try {

            InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();

            String serverName = System.getProperty("weblogic.Name");

            MBeanServer server =

                (MBeanServer)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jmx/runtime");

            ObjectName objName =

                new ObjectName("com.bea:Name=" + serverName + ",Type=Server");

            port = (Integer)server.getAttribute(objName, "ListenPort");

            

            ctx.close();

             

            

        } catch (Exception e) {

            e.printStackTrace();

        }

        return port;

    }

Oracle® Weblogic 10.3.6 Or Higher: Steps to create a Self-Signed Certificate using the SHA-256 Algorithm

Support for SHA-256 with JSSE is supported in WLS 10.3.3 and higher, in conjunction with using the JSSE SSL implementation. It is not supported when using the Certicom SSL implementation, which is deprecated in WLS 10.3.4 and higher.

The following sections describes the steps to create the self signed SHA-256 certificate.

• Set the WLS domain, by executing the command setDomainEnv.sh or setDomainEnv.sh (Windows)
• Enter the following pieces of when prompted

$ keytool -genkey -alias selfsignedcert -keyalg RSA -sigalg SHA256withRSA -keypass password1 -keystore identity.jks -storepass password -validity 365

What is your first and last name?
[Unknown]: soad.mindtelligent.com
What is the name of your organizational unit?
[Unknown]: mindtelligent-soa
What is the name of your organization?
[Unknown]: MindTelligent
What is the name of your City or Locality?
[Unknown]: El Dorado Hills
What is the name of your State or Province?

[Unknown]: US
Is CN= soad.mindtelligent.com, OU= mindtelligent-soa, O= MindTelligent, L= El Dorado Hills, ST= El Dorado Hills, C=US correct?
[no]: yes

• Export the certificate

$ keytool -export -alias Mindteligent-SelfSigned -sigalg SHA256withRSA -file root.cer -keystore identity.jks
Enter keystore password:
Certificate stored in file <root.cer>          

• Import the root certificate to the trust store:

$keytool -import -alias Mindteligent-SelfSigned  -sigalg SHA256withRSA -trustcacerts -file root.cer -keystore trust.jks
Enter keystore password:
Re-enter new password:

Oracle® SOA 12c (12.1.3 and 12.2.1) Setting Composite Title using a mediator

The setCompositeInstanceTitle operation is no longer supported in 12c. It has been replaced with oraext:setFlowInstanceTitle operation. 

To use this operation in SOA 12c (12.1.3) specifically , we need to install Patch 18310693.

Pre-install Instructions for the patch

• Set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable to the directory where you have installed Oracle SOA Suite.

• Stop all servers (AdminServer and all Managed server(s)).

Installation Instructions

• Unzip the patch zip file into the PATCH_TOP.

   $ unzip -d PATCH_TOP p18310693_121301_Generic.zip

• Set your current directory to the directory where the patch is located.

    $ cd PATCH_TOP/18310693

• Run OPatch to apply the patch.

   $ opatch apply

• Once the patch has checked all the imperative prerequisites, it will prompt to proceed with installation. Please enter Y and press Enter.

• On successful installation, you should see the following results.

SOA 12c 12.1.3 is now ready testing the setSlowInstanceTitle.


Changes to the Mediator

• Click on the Assign button of the Mediator and setthe following property

• Please ensure that you use the operation setFlowInstanceTitle() as shown below

         oraext:setFlowInstanceTitle(string('The tilte is'))

• Build your code and deploy it. You should be able to the Tile in the Enterprise Manager
