The Admin console is not up/accessible – Oracle SOA Suite

The Admin console is not up/accessible –  Oracle SOA Suite

We were facing a strange issue in our Oracle SOA Suite production server in Solaris, we could not able to access the admin console even though the server is started properly and there is no error in the log file.

We were able to telnet the admin server listen address from Admin server node but not able to do it from other nodes.

The root cause of the issue is with Gateway server, the admin server listen address is not listed on the Gateway - the gateway server is not online (the servers listen address is configured in Gateway).

After Solaris admin team made the Gateway server online, we were able to see the admin server listen address listed on the gateway.

After restarting the admin server we were able to access the console page.

The following command can be used for checking the Gateway server status

 netstat –r  

Building a executable JAR file with external libraries through JDeveloper

Building a executable JAR file with external libraries through JDeveloper

This post explain the different approaches to build the executable JAR file with external libraries through JDeveloper.

Referring the external libraries from JAR:

Right Click project and select properties
Click on Deployment and create new JAR deployment profile.
Select "Include Manifest File" option.
Select the main class.

Create a manifest file(any location) and add the required jar files to the Class-Path header

Class-Path.mf

Class-Path: json.jar log4j.jar

 End the Class-Path.mf file by a carriage return.

Add the Class-Path.mf file to Additional Manifest Files to Merge into Manifest.mf

 java.net.ConnectException,Bootstrap to server failed while deploying the compoite - Orace SOA Suite

Sometimes we may receive the following exception while deploying the composite to Oracle SOA Suite server using even though the sever is running fine and reachable.

This issue can be resolved by configuring valid machine IP or complete name of the machines, including the domain extension as listen address in weblogic server.

SCAC-50012 - Oracle SOA Suite 11g

SCAC-50012 - Oracle SOA Suite 11g

This error will occur most of time compiling the Oracle BPEL component in Oracle SOA Suite with java embedded activity, If there is any issue with the java code this exception will be thrown.

We were facing the SCAC-50012 exception with the following code.

String orderID  =  ((oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLElement) getVariableData("inputVariable","payload",'/client:process/client:input')).getFirstChild().getNodeValue();
String Title=("OrderID: " +orderID);                                        
setCompositeInstanceTitle(Title);

The actual  issue with the XPATH expression specified within the single quote(copy paste issue), the compilation became successful after converting the single quotes to double quotes.

String orderID  =  ((oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLElement) getVariableData("inputVariable","payload","/client:process/client:input")).getFirstChild().getNodeValue();
String Title=("OrderID: " +orderID);                                        
setCompositeInstanceTitle(Title);
