Oracle 12c New Features

Oracle has released SOA Suite 12c and lots of new features are introduced in this release. Below is list of some of the new features.

Single Installer: Oracle Suite 12c comes as single installer for developers that means you only need to install only one setup (SOA Suite 12c), DB/Weblogic/SOA will get installed, you need to install it separately. Oracle SOA 12c use Java Derby database, which is file based and that makes it really fast.

Single IDE: In Oracle SOA 12c Jdeveloper is used as IDE for all designs. For OSB development we need not to use different IDE (Eclipse) anymore, we can develop OSB application in Jdeveloper itself.

Debugger: This is new feature in Oracle SOA 12c, debugger is introduced to debug SOA and OSB applications. With the help of debugger we can debug our code before deploying it; this saves lot of development efforts. We can also change message text while debugging it.

Graphical MDS: In Oracle SOA 12c graphical tool is provided to publish, search and consume filed from MDS and OER.

SOA Templates: With the introduction of templates sharing of code between teams become earlier and development efforts reduced. There are three types of templates introduced.

• Project Template
• Component Template
• Custom Activity Template

BPEL Sub-process: Sub-process is introduced in this launch which helps to reduce redundancy. Suppose we need to update database table 3 times in one flow so instead of add 3 different invoke to same BPEL, create sub-process which update the database table and use that sub-process 3 times in that BPEL. There are two types of sub-processes.

• Standalone sub-process
• Inline sub-process

Re-sequencing in OSB: In 11g this feature was available in Mediator, in Oracle SOA 12c this features added to service bus also, with the help of this feature we able to process the request message in proper sequence.

Adapter: Coherence, LDAP and cloud adapter are introduced in this release.

Xquery Mapper: In this release Xquery mapper is introduced which provide XQuery support.

Enterprise Service Scheduler: ESS is out of box scheduler. By using this we can schedule the services.

Translate Activity:  Translate activity is also introduced which is used for Native to XML and XML to Native transformation.

MDS support for OSB: In 11g version MDS support was not there for OSB but in 12c MDS support is provided for OSB.

How To Import SOA Composite Into JDEV

Open Jdev, File --> Import --> SOA Archive into SOA Project

Provide an appropriate project name

Import the jar file and finish

This will import all the project resources from the jar file into your current project

oracle.fabric.common.FabricInvocationException: Unable to find the WSDL service defined for service name

I was working on an integration with siebel system .When I am trying to invoke their service,

it used throw the below mentioned error :

 <fault>

<remoteFault>

<part  name="summary">

<summary>oracle.fabric.common.FabricInvocationException: Unable to find the WSDL service defined for service name {http://abcd.com/}CC_spcDC_spcNotifications. Please make sure that the port attribute for the binding defined in the composite file is correct by checking the namespace and service name in the #wsdl.endpoint element. In addition, check that the WSDL associated with the binding namespace is imported and currently reachable (check the import nodes at the top of the composite file). Finally, validate any HTTP proxy settings for the server.</summary>

How To Tackle This Problem :

1) First take out the wsdl file and put in xml spy  or any online validator to check whether structure is of correct format.

2) The wsdl file should have a structure called "service" at bottom like mentioned below.If its missing it throws out  mentioned error intermittently(ideally it should not) :

<service name="Notifications">

      <port binding="tns:spcNotifications" name="C_spcNotifications">

         <soap:address location="http://abcd.com"/>

      </port>

   </service

3) Check with target partner system whether their service is up or running.


4) Most Imp:


This  can be resolved temporarily by bouncing the SOA Server.Issue might come up again if same wsdl is uploaded again.

I have spent nights in resolving this issue....happy programming!! :)

Provide details 1st time when you configure like--> host,port,username, password

Click OK,,wait for few minutes your 12c server will get configured.

This is last step once server in running mode you can build applications and deploy to weblogic 12c server.
