Component Metrics are Unavailable for the SOA Composite in EM console - Oracle SOA Suite 11g

I was facing a strange issue with Oracle SOA Suite EM console. Whenever opening the SOA Composite the component metrics are not getting displayed and it is shown as Unavailable.

The issue is only happening in Development environment but it is working fine in all the other environments.
I could not able to find any exception related to this issue in any of the log files.

Unfortunately the Component metrics are getting displayed after refreshing the SOA Composite(from right corner of EM page as shown in the above diagram) from EM console

Deployment plan file to replace the Binding Adapter Properties/Attributes – Oracle SOA Suite

Deployment plan file to replace the Binding Adapter Properties/Attributes – Oracle SOA Suite

The deployment plan file will help us to dynamically replace the Oracle SOA Suite Composite properties.

This post explain the steps to replace the Properties/Attributes of the Direct Binding Adapter in Composite.xml. The same steps can be used to replace the Properties/Attributes of all the Binding Adapters.

Generate the Plan file:

The plan file can be generated through JDeveloper or through ANT script.

Generating Plan file through JDeveloper:

Right Click on Composite.xml and click on generate config Plan.

Change the generated plan file contents accordingly to replace the properties and attributes of the composites. 

Add the required attributes to the corresponding Binding and change the values accordingly(by default the attributes will not be added to the corresponding binding in the plan file) and also change the value of required properties accordingly.

When looking up the OSB service from JDeveloper SOA Resource Browser, the Proxy will be shown as direct for SB transport services.
