This chapter provides the requirements and procedures for installing Oracle SOA Suite with SQL Server 2005 as BPEL dehydration store.
This chapter contains the following topics:
You can install and use Oracle SOA Suite with the SQL Server 2005 as BPEL dehydration store.
Oracle SOA Suite provides a complete set of service infrastructure components for designing, deploying, and managing composite applications. Oracle SOA Suite enables services to be created, managed, and orchestrated into composite applications and business processes. Composites enable you to easily assemble multiple technology components into one SOA composite application. Oracle SOA Suite plugs into heterogeneous IT infrastructures and enables enterprises to incrementally adopt SOA.
Oracle Business Rules (Business Rules) and Oracle Adapters plug into the Service Infrastructure, a normalized transport infrastructure, make up the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). With the addition of the Oracle BPEL Process Manager (BPEL) and Human Task service components, the suite forms a complete Business Process Management (BPM) platform.
The following components comprise Oracle SOA Suite:
Oracle Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)
Oracle BPEL Process Manager (BPEL)
Human Task
Oracle Web Services Manager (OWSM)
Oracle Business Rules
Note:
In the Oracle SOA Suite components, only BPEL and Human Task will use SQL Server 2005 as the database.Oracle SOA Console is the monitoring environment for Oracle SOA Suite. You can run, manage, and test your deployed SOA process using the Oracle SOA Console. Oracle SOA Console provides a Web-based interface for management, administration, and debugging of processes deployed to Oracle SOA Server.

This section describes the steps involved in installing and configuring the Oracle Database, creating a schema in the database, and installing and configuring Microsoft SQL Server.
This section contains the following topics:
Step A: Install Oracle Express Edition (XE) Database (For Linux Operating System)
Step B: Create the Oracle SOA Suite Schema in the Oracle XE Database (For Linux Operating System)
Step 6: Configure Oracle SOA Suite and Create SQL Server Database IRCA schema
Note:
Installation of Oracle SOA Suite Basic 10.1.3.1.0 for OC4J on Linux requires an Oracle Database with Oracle SOA Suite Schema as a prerequisite. This installation cannot be performed connecting directly to the SQL Server 2005 database. Hence, if you are installing on Linux, you need to follow the additional (UNKNOWN STEP NUMBER) Step A: Install Oracle Express Edition (XE) Database (For Linux Operating System) and Step B: Create the Oracle SOA Suite Schema in the Oracle XE Database (For Linux Operating System) prior to proceeding with Step 1: Install Oracle SOA Suite Basic 10.1.3.1.0 for OC4J.If you are installing on Windows, then you can directly start with Step 1: Install Oracle SOA Suite Basic 10.1.3.1.0 for OC4J.
Perform the following steps:
Download the Oracle Database 10g Express Edition for Linux from the Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Downloads Web site at
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/index.html
Install the Oracle XE Database on Linux following the instructions provided in the Oracle Database Express Edition Installation Guide available at
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/files/install.102/b25144/toc.html
Perform the following steps:
Navigate to the Disk1\install\soa_schemas\irca folder in the Oracle SOA Suite installation setup files directory.
Set ORACLE_HOME to point to the Oracle XE Database installation location. For example, set ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server.
Enter ./irca.sh.
This runs the irca script to create the schemas required for BPEL, ESB, and OWSM.
Enter the host, port, and SID values when prompted. The default SID created on XE database is "XE".
Enter the sys password when prompted.
The orabpel, oraesb, and orawsm schemas are loaded into the Oracle XE Database.

Verify the output log file at Config_BPELPM_SQLServer2005\logs\irca_sqlserver.out and check for any failures.
The above script creates an ORCL database, ORABPEL schema, ORABPEL user and creates all the database objects required for BPEL dehydration store in the SQL Server database.
Configure Oracle SOA Suite Server for SQL Server dehydration.
Edit the Config_BPELPM_SQLServer2005\config.properties file and supply the following SQL Server database parameters:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| SOA_HOME | ORACLE_HOME of the Oracle SOA Suite installation |
DB_URL |
Database URL for the SQL Server database that you created in Step a |
DB_ORABPEL_PASSWORD |
Password for orabpel Dbuser used for BPEL dehydration |
For Windows, run the Config_BPELPM_SQLServer2005\config.bat script, and for Linux, run Config_BPELPM_SQLServer2005/config.sh.
Verify the output log file at Config_BPELPM_SQLServer2005\logs\config.out and check for any failures.
The above script configures the data sources, necessary drivers, and system properties in Oracle SOA Suite to connect to SQL Server database for BPEL dehydration.
This section describes the postinstallation verification tasks to be performed:
Start SOA Suite from Start -> Programs -> Oracle-SOASuite -> Start SOA Suite.
Access Enterprise Manager console from http://<hostname>:<port>/em.
Navigate to OC4J_HOME -> Administration -> JDBC Resources.
Verify that the BPELPM_CONNECTION_POOL connection pool points to the SQL Server database, as shown in Figure 1-1.
This section describes the limitations for Oracle SOA Suite 10.1.3.1 on SQL Server 2005:
Only the BPEL dehydration store is configured to use SQL Server as the database. If the basic version of Oracle SOA Suite has been installed on Windows, then ESB and OWSM will continue to run with OLite as the database.
Due to syntax differences between Oracle and SQL Server database, particularly for OUTER JOIN statements, the dehydration database instance on SQL Server will be set to a database compatibility level of 80. Future versions of SQL Server database may not continue to support this compatibility.
Troubleshooting Tips
If the TaskManager and TaskActionHandler BPEL processes are not deployed in the default domain, then stop Oracle SOA Suite, copy the following bpel jars from SOA_HOME\bpel\install\extensions to SOA_HOME\bpel\domains\default\deploy, and start Oracle SOA Suite again.
