9 Configuring Outbound and Inbound Processing Using Oracle Service Bus

Oracle Application Adapter for SAP R/3 integrates seamlessly with Oracle Service Bus (OSB) to facilitate Web service integration. OSB is based on the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). It consumes adapter services exposed as Web Service Definition Language (WSDL) documents.

This chapter contains the following topics:

Overview of Application Adapter Integration with Oracle Service Bus

To integrate with Oracle Service Bus (OSB), Oracle Application Adapter for SAP R/3 must be deployed in the same Oracle WebLogic Server as OSB. The underlying adapter services must be exposed as WSDL files, which are generated during design time in Oracle Adapter Application Explorer (Application Explorer) for both request-response (outbound) and event notification (inbound) services of the adapter.

Configuring Outbound Processing Using Oracle Service Bus (J2CA Configuration)

This section describes how to configure outbound processing using Oracle Service Bus for J2CA configurations.

This section includes the following topics:

Starting Oracle Service Bus and Creating Project Folders

This section describes how to start Oracle Service Bus (OSB) and create project folders.

Note:

If you are using Oracle Application Adapter for SAP R/3 (SAP JCo 3.0) with OSB on 64-bit machines, you must add the d64 flag with the JAVA options in the startWebLogic.sh file, which is located in the following directory: 
<OSB_Home>\user_projects\domains\base_domain\bin

For example:

JAVA_OPTIONS="${SAVE_JAVA_OPTIONS} -Dfile.encoding=ISO8859_1 -d64"

The Oracle WebLogic Server must be started only after this change has been made.

Perform the following steps to start Oracle Service Bus and create project folders:

  1. Start the Oracle WebLogic Server for the Oracle WebLogic Server domain that you have configured.

  2. Open the Oracle Service Bus Console in a Web browser by entering the following URL:

    http://hostname:port/sbconsole

    Where hostname is the name of the machine where Oracle WebLogic Server is running and port is the port for the domain you are using. The port for the default domain is 7001.

    The Oracle Service Bus Console logon page is displayed.

  3. Log on to the Oracle Service Bus Console using a valid user name and password.

    The Oracle Service Bus Console home page is displayed, as shown in Figure 9-1.

Setting the Class Path for Application Explorer to Integrate With Oracle Service Bus

Before starting and using Application Explorer to publish a WSDL directly to the Oracle Service Bus (OSB) Console (project/folder), OSB users must perform the following steps:

  1. Open the command prompt window.

  2. Navigate to the following directory:

    <OSB_Home>\user_projects\domains\base_domain\bin

  3. Execute setDomainEnv.cmd (Windows) or . ./setDomainEnv.sh (UNIX/Linux).

    This command sets the class path for Application Explorer to access the Oracle WebLogic Server APIs to publish the WSDLs to the OSB Console.

  4. Do not close the command prompt window.

  5. Navigate to the following directory:

    <OSB_Home>\3rdparty\ApplicationAdapters\tools\iwae\bin

  6. Execute ae.bat (Windows) or iwae.sh (UNIX/Linux) to start Application Explorer.

    You are now ready to publish WSDLs from Application Explorer to the OSB Console.

Publishing a WSDL From Application Explorer to Oracle Service Bus

Perform the following steps to publish a WSDL from Application Explorer to Oracle Service Bus:

  1. Start Application Explorer, connect to a J2CA configuration, and connect to a SAP R/3 target.

    For more information, see Chapter 4, "Configuring Oracle Application Adapter for SAP R/3".

  2. Expand Business Object Repository, Financial Accounting, and then CompanyCode.

  3. Right-click the GetDetail method and select Create Outbound JCA Service(Request/Response) from the menu, as shown in Figure 9-7.

Starting Oracle Service Bus and Creating Project Folders

This section describes how to start Oracle Service Bus (OSB) and create project folders.

Note:

If you are using Oracle Application Adapter for SAP R/3 (SAP JCo 3.0) with OSB on 64-bit machines, you must add the d64 flag with the JAVA options in the startWebLogic.sh file, which is located in the following directory: 
<OSB_Home>\user_projects\domains\base_domain\bin

For example:

Configuring Outbound Processing Using Oracle Service Bus (BSE Configuration)

This section describes how to configure outbound processing using Oracle Service Bus for BSE configurations.

This section includes the following topics:

Starting Oracle Service Bus and Creating Project Folders

This section describes how to start Oracle Service Bus (OSB) and create project folders.

Note:

If you are using Oracle Application Adapter for SAP R/3 (SAP JCo 3.0) with OSB on 64-bit machines, you must add the d64 flag with the JAVA options in the startWebLogic.sh file, which is located in the following directory: 
<OSB_Home>\user_projects\domains\base_domain\bin

For example:

JAVA_OPTIONS="${SAVE_JAVA_OPTIONS} -Dfile.encoding=ISO8859_1 -d64"

The Oracle WebLogic Server must be started only after this change has been made.

Perform the following steps to start Oracle Service Bus and create project folders:

  1. Start the Oracle WebLogic Server for the Oracle WebLogic Server domain that you have configured.

  2. Open the Oracle Service Bus Console in a Web browser by entering the following URL:

    http://hostname:port/sbconsole

    Where hostname is the name of the machine where Oracle WebLogic Server is running and port is the port for the domain you are using. The port for the default domain is 7001.

    The Oracle Service Bus Console logon page is displayed.

  3. Log on to the Oracle Service Bus Console using a valid user name and password.

    The Oracle Service Bus Console home page is displayed, as shown in Figure 9-92.

    Figure 9-92 Oracle Service Bus Console

    OSB home

Setting the Class Path for Application Explorer to Integrate With Oracle Service Bus

Before starting and using Application Explorer to publish a WSDL directly to the Oracle Service Bus (OSB) Console (project/folder), OSB users must perform the following steps:

  1. Open the command prompt window.

  2. Navigate to the following directory:

    <OSB_Home>\user_projects\domains\base_domain\bin

  3. Execute setDomainEnv.cmd (Windows) or . ./setDomainEnv.sh (UNIX/Linux).

    This command sets the class path for Application Explorer to access the Oracle WebLogic Server APIs to publish the WSDLs to the OSB Console.

  4. Do not close the command prompt window.

  5. Navigate to the following directory:

    <OSB_Home>\3rdparty\ApplicationAdapters\tools\iwae\bin

  6. Execute ae.bat (Windows) or iwae.sh (UNIX/Linux) to start Application Explorer.

    You are now ready to publish WSDLs from Application Explorer to the OSB Console.

Publishing a WSDL From Application Explorer to Oracle Service Bus

This section describes how to publish a WSDL from Application Explorer (BSE configuration) to Oracle Service Bus.

  1. Start Application Explorer, connect to a BSE configuration, and connect to a SAP R/3 target.
