19 B2B Command-Line Tools

B2B command-line tools are available for a number of tasks.

This chapter contains the following topics:

19.1 Prerequisites for Running the Command-line Tools

Do the following before using the command-line tools:

  1. Set the ORACLE_HOME, ANT_HOME, and JAVA_HOME environment variables.

    ORACLE_HOME is set to your Oracle Fusion Middleware installation directory. For example:

    set ORACLE_HOME=C:\oracle\wls_home
    set ANT_HOME=%ORACLE_HOME%\modules\org.apache.ant_1.7.1 
    set JAVA_HOME=%ORACLE_HOME%\jdk160_18 
    
  2. Create jndi.properties.

    cd $ORACLE_HOME\bin
    ant -f ant-b2b-util.xml b2bcreate-prop
    
  3. Edit the jndi.properties file to include the weblogic password.

Notes:

1. Command-line tools are for administrator use only. No security or permission checks are performed to prevent the logged-in user from purging, importing, or exporting data.

2. After running any command-line tool, you should re-log into the B2B Console. The B2B Console caches some metadata and any command-line action which may have updated the metadata could lead to invalid cached data. Therefore, it is advisable to always re-login into the B2B Console after using command-line operations.

3. All of the command-line tools can be run without any JNDI credentials. To restrict the command-line tools from anonymous use, provide the following information in the jndi.properties file:

java.naming.security.principal=weblogic
java.naming.security.credentials=weblogic_password

19.2 Archiving Data

Oracle B2B uses Oracle Data Pump as the archiving mechanism for Oracle B2B runtime instance data in Oracle database. Oracle B2B enables archiving functionality only when the Oracle B2B repository is Oracle database. You can configure start date, end date, and message state to archive and/or purge the runtime data.

In order to improve the performance and synchronize archive and purge activity, a new column (JOB_ID) is added in each runtime table - B2B_BUSINESS_MESSAGE, B2B_EXT_BUSINESS_MESSAGE, B2B_APP_MESSAGE, B2B_WIRE_MESSAGE and B2B_DATA_STORAGE.

Oracle B2B will mark the target runtime data (by start date, end date, and message state) with a unique JOB_ID. If you select to archive the runtime data, Oracle B2B will invoke Data Pump PL/SQL API with JOB_ID to export the runtime data. Oracle B2B will purge the runtime messages by JOB_ID if you also want to purge them.

After the runtime data is archived/exported, Oracle B2B can also use Oracle Data Pump to import the runtime data into an Oracle B2b repository.

Before archiving data, you must set up the permissions and the archival directory.

Note:

The b2b_archive utility only supports Oracle database. No other databases are supported.

To do initial setup:

  1. On the machine running the database, create a directory in which to dump the archive file. For example:

    mkdir /tmp/archive
    
  2. Grant permissions to this directory so that the database process can write to it.

    chmod 777 /tmp/archive
    
  3. Log in to the database as sysdba.

    sqlplus / as sysdba
    
  4. Set up the B2B_EXPORT_DIR.

    SQL> create or replace DIRECTORY B2B_EXPORT_DIR as '/tmp/archive'
    
  5. If your SOA schema user is b2b_soainfra, the user needs to be granted permission for the export.

    SQL> grant read, write on directory B2B_EXPORT_DIR to b2b_soainfra;
    SQL> grant exp_full_database  to b2b_soainfra;
    

Note:

Make sure that the initial setup steps detailed above are performed before attempting to archive.

To archive data:

  1. Log in as the soainfra schema user.

    $ sqlplus b2b_soainfra/password
    
  2. Execute the archive procedure. For example:

    SQL> exec B2B_ARCHIVE_INSTANCE_MSGS('2010/06/23 12:23:23','2010/06/24 12:46:24','MSG_COMPLETE',null,null,null,null,null,null,'myDump.dmp')
    

    The signature of the procedure is

    exec B2B_ARCHIVE_INSTANCE_MSGS(p_startDate,p_endDate,p_msgState,p_tpName,
    p_direction,p_msgType,p_tpaName,p_idType,p_idVal,filename);

19.3 Purging Data

Note:

Before purging run-time data, the configuration setup described in Section 19.2, "Archiving Data" is required. If those steps are not done, then the archive will fail with a misleading error.

No security or permission checks are performed to prevent the logged-in user from purging data.

The b2bpurge utility only supports Oracle database. No other databases are supported.

The following utility purges both design-time and run-time data and resets the environment to the installation time.

ant -f ant-b2b-util.xml b2bpurge

Table 19-2 lists the options for this utility.

Footnote 1 The option -Dmode=RT is a mandatory argument for b2bpurge to delete only runtime records. This option must be set for every runtime record purge, otherwise purges all of the metadata and runtime data. (Example: ant -f ant-b2b-util.xml b2bpurge -Dmode=RT)

Note:

When only -Dmode=RT -Dtp=trading_partner_name options are used, this option deletes all records matching Trading Partner name with SenderName or in Receiver Name.

Example 19-1 Removes Design-Time Data

ant -f ant-b2b-util.xml b2bpurge -Dmode=DT

Example 19-2 Purges Run-Time Data

ant -f ant-b2b-util.xml b2bpurge -Dmode=RT

Example 19-3 Purges Run-Time Data, Including Control Numbers

ant -f ant-b2b-util.xml b2bpurge -Dmode=RT -Dpurgecontrolnumber=true

Example 19-4 Purges Messages with the Specified State Between the Specified Dates

ant -f ant-b2b-util.xml b2bpurge -Dmode=RT -Dfromdate="01/02/2009 12:00 AM" -Dtodate="10/02/2009  12:00 AM" -Dmsgstate=MSG_COMPLETE

Note:

When using archivename the value must be a unique file name. An existing file name used with archivename throws an exception.

19.4 Importing Data

Note:

No security or permission checks are performed to prevent the logged-in user from importing data.

The b2bimport utility imports the B2B metadata ZIP file to the repository. Basic validation is performed, but it is not a complete validation as with deployment validation. No data is overwritten unless you use the overwrite option.

The following usage imports data from tmp/export.zip to a location on the same server without overwriting.

ant -f ant-b2b-util.xml b2bimport -Dlocalfile=true -Dexportfile="/tmp/export.zip"

Table 19-3 lists the options for this utility.

19.5 Exporting Data

The b2bexport utility exports metadata from the Oracle B2B repository. If no options are specified then the entire repository is exported.

Note:

No security or permission checks are performed to prevent the logged-in user from exporting data.

The following usage exports the entire repository (without policy details) to /tmp/export.zip if no other options are specified.

ant -f ant-b2b-util.xml b2bexport

Table 19-4 lists the options for this utility.

Example 19-7 Exports the Trading Partner Acme to /tmp/Acme.zip

ant -f ant-b2b-util.xml b2bexport -Dtpname="Acme" -Dexportfile="/tmp/Acme.zip"

Example 19-8 Exports an Agreement from Design-Time with Listening Channel Details to /tmp/acmeGc.zip

ant -f ant-b2b-util.xml b2bexport -Dtpanames="Acme_GC_Agreement1" -Dexportfile="/tmp/AcmeGc.zip"

Listening channels are deactivated while exporting and must be reactivated after you import data.

Example 19-9 Exports Multiple Deployed and Active Agreements to /tmp/export.zip

ant -f ant-b2b-util.xml b2bexport -Dtpanames="Acme_GC_Agreement1, GC_Acme_Agreement1" -Dactive=true

No listening channels are exported.

19.6 Batching Operations

The command line b2bbatch utility enables you to create batches, based on various criteria. This utility is a supplement to the available batch creation/deletion feature in the Oracle B2B Console for EDI documents. This is an ANT based command, and provides the flexibility to selectively set the criteria to create batches.

To create multiple trading partners and document versions in a single step, you must use the Oracle B2B Console; to achieve it on command-line you must run the batch creation utility multiple times. For advanced functionality, such as disabling or updating a batch you must use the Oracle B2B Console.

The usage is as follows:

ant -f ant-b2b-util.xml b2bbatch -Dtp=<tpName> -Dbatchtime=<batchTriggerTime> -Dbatchname=<batchName> -Ddocument=<documentProtocolName> -Ddocrevision=<docRevision> -Ddoctype=<docType> -Disrepetitive=<true|false>

Example 19-13 Using special characters in batchtime option

If the value for the batchtime contains special characters such as * or # then the character must be escaped using double quotation marks.

ant -f ant-b2b-util.xml b2bbatch -Dtp=GlobalChips -Dbatchtime='0 5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55,59 "*" "*" "*" ? 2010' -Dbatchname=batch1234 -Ddocument=EDI_X12 -Ddocrevision=4010 -Ddoctype="850,855" -Disrepetitive=true 

19.7 Deploying Agreements

The b2bdeploy utility validates and deploys all agreements in the repository. If an agreement is already deployed, then it is deployed again. The older version of the agreement is then in an inactive state. Turning off validation is useful when deploying large numbers of agreements, where you are certain that the data is valid. It requires a SOA Server restart. Validation can be turned off by setting the property b2b.deploy.validation to false.

To deploy all agreements in the repository, execute:

ant -f ant-b2b-util.xml b2bdeploy

Table 19-6 lists the options for this utility.

The following are examples of scheduling Trading Partner downtime using the b2bschedule utility. The command does not need to be in a single line.

Example 19-26 Schedule Trading Partner downtime for a specific channel and duration

ant -f ant-b2b-util.xml b2bschedule
-mode=schedule
-Dtp="OracleServices"
-Dfromdate="28/05/2010 06:10 AM"
-Dtodate="28/05/2010 06:15 AM"
-Dchannelname="MarketInc_AS2_DC"
-Dschedulename= "Maintenance"

Example 19-27 Schedule a particular channel for downtime

ant -f ant-b2b-util.xml b2bschedule
-mode=schedule
-Dtp="MarketInc"
-Dchannelname="MarketInc_ebMS_DC"
-Dschedulename= "Maintenance"

Example 19-28 Schedule the Trading Partner for downtime

In this example, all channels of this Trading Partner will be down for an unknown duration. Executing the unschedule command separately, as shown in Example 19-30, brings the Trading Partner back to an active state.

ant -f ant-b2b-util.xml b2bschedule
-mode=schedule
-Dtp="MarketInc"
-Dschedulename= "Maintenance"

Example 19-29 Schedule downtime for a particular duration of time

ant -f ant-b2b-util.xml b2bschedule
-mode=schedule
-Dtp="MarketInc"
-Dfromdate="28/05/2010 03:05 AM"
-Dtodate="28/05/2010 03:08 AM"
-Dschedulename= "Maintenance"

Example 19-30 Un-scheduling the scheduled event

ant -f ant-b2b-util.xml b2bschedule
-Dmode=unschedule
-Dschedulename="Maintenance"

Example 19-31 Extend an existing schedule

Create a schedule for a particular time frame for all the channels for a remote tp by entering the following:

ant -f ant-b2b-util.xml b2bschedule -Dtp=GlobalChips-Dfromdate="31/08/2010 10:47 AM" -Dtodate="31/08/2010 10:57 AM" -Dschedulename=Load -Dchannelname=GlobalChips_File_Endpoint

Extend the schedule by creating another schedule with the same name, with the start time as the end time of the previously created schedule (31/08/2010 10:57 AM), and the end time to which you want to extend the schedule to, and then pass the parameter -Dextend=true:

ant -f ant-b2b-util.xml b2bschedule -Dtp=GlobalChips-Dfromdate="31/08/2010 10:57 AM" -Dtodate="31/08/2010 11:57 AM" -Dschedulename=Load -Dchannelname=GlobalChips_File_Endpoint -Dextend=true

19.14 Managing the Keystore

Certificate expiry must be identified and notified to the Administrator as it affects the message flow with security. Oracle B2B exposes Public API/Ant commands to check the certificate for expiry. You can use b2bmanagekeystore to define a schedule and encapsulate these APIs for proper alert mechanism.

Note:

As a pre-requisite, it is required to configure the Java key store in Oracle B2B.
ant -f f ant-b2b-util.xml b2bmanagekeystore [-Dmode=list | -Dalias="cert_name" | -Ddays=num_of_days]

Table 19-15 Options for b2bmanagekeystore utility

Option Description Domain Required

mode

List all the certificate alias in the keystore and its expiry dates

list

No

alias

Certificate status and its expiry date of the provided alias

 

No

days

List all the certificates which will expire within the days specified

integer

No


Example 19-32 Get a list of certificate aliases

ant -f ant-b2b-util.xml b2bmanagekeystore -Dmode=list

Example 19-33 Get the status of a certificate

ant -f ant-b2b-util.xml b2bmanagekeystore -Dalias="MarketInc_Cert"

Example 19-34 Get a list of certificates expiring at a future date

ant -f ant-b2b-util.xml b2bmanagekeystore -Ddays=15
