  On Oracle SOA Suite 12.2.1.0.0, when we tried to create an error notification rule to alert on failed ESS scheduled jobs, we experienced an issue where the dropdown was not showing any schedules. Unfortunately, the solution to apply patch 26088894 does not work. Patch 26088894 Patch 26088894 is a zero downtime ESS patch and applicable for Oracle SOA Suite versions 12.1.3, 12.2.1, 12.2.1.1, and 12.2.1.2. It addresses the issue of the Adapter Schedule generating a Null Error on...

Join us for a Virtual Developer Meetup July 6th 2020 OIC and especially the process part share a lot with the BPM Suite and BPM sits on top of SOA Suite. So they share a lot of features. Some features are obvious. Others less obvious. Some lesser obvious similarities might be of interest even in the Cloud environment. Today I want to highlight one of those that are in the process-engine from the very first release of Oracle BPEL: correlations. Why is this such a distinctive...

Today I'm investigating a problem in an interaction between Siebel and SOASuite. I needed to find a set of correlated messages, where BPEL expects only one message but gets 2 from Siebel. To get all the messages that are related to two flows that run parallel based on the same message exchange.The thing is that of course you want to see the contents of the message in the xml_document. This attribute is a BLOB that contains the parsed document from oracle xml classes. You need...

Microservices create challenges for data consistency and integrity that necessitate changes in the transaction processing and data patterns used by them. Traditional systems rely on two-phase commit and XA protocols that use synchronous communication, locking of resources, and recovery via rollback (or commit as the case may be). While this provides strong consistency and isolation it does not scale well in a microservices environment due to the latency of held locks and,...
