Monitoring Adapter Logs

Oracle Fusion Middleware components generate log files containing messages that record all types of events, including startup and shutdown information, errors, warning messages, access information on HTTP requests, and additional information. There is only one logger for all Oracle JCA Adapters, and the logger is called oracle.soa.adapter.

To monitor the File adapter logs:

  1. Navigate to your SOA composite dashboard for the selected composite application.
  2. Select the logs for your composite application from the Selected Links link to the right of the SOA composite dashboard.
  3. Supply a date and time range for the logs you want to examine.
  4. In addition to date and time range, you can also provide other criteria to delimit the list of logs you will find. These include the following:
    • Message contains | is | is not | does not contain | starts with | does not start with | ends with | does not end with | matches | does not match

    • Composite name is | is not | contains | does not contain | starts with | does not start with | ends with | does not end with | matches | does not match

    • Fault id is | is not |contains | does not contain | starts with | does not start with | ends with | does not end with | matches | does not match

    • Flow correlation is | is not |contains | does not contain | starts with | does not start with | ends with | does not end with | matches | does not match

    • Flow id is | is not |contains | does not contain | starts with | does not start with | ends with | does not end with | matches | does not match

  5. Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control displays a list of logs meeting the criteria you have supplied. Select a server log from the list of logs and download to view it in an editor.
  6. You could have alternatively navigated from Target-Navigation-Domain and right-clicked on the domain where the composite resides to select View Log Messages. This brings up a list of log messages directly.
  7. Information about SOA adapter logs can be found in the logger.

For information about configuring logs, see Configuring Log Files. For information about diagnostics related to logs, see Diagnosing Problems with SOA Composite Applications.

Adapter Configuration Reports

Oracle Adapter Configuration reports provide information on how you have configured Adapters. They provide diagnostics information in addition to Snapshot reports and Monitoring reports. Without this the support, one has to go through multiple consoles and logs for diagnosis. There are many more Adapter properties than those reported on in the diagnostic reports; however, the reports provide information from the most relevant properties.

The configuration report provides information on the service endpoints; each of these reports correlate and provide you with information that would otherwise require you to do a large amount of moving between different reports to find information related to Adapter configuration.

Adapter Configuration reports capture:

  • Connection Factory properties

  • Service Definition Properties (Activation Properties and other specs related to a service endpoint).

  • Service Tuning Properties - Service endpoint properties used to tune the service to alter performance items such as throughput and throttling.

  • Reference Definition Properties (Interaction Properties and other types of specs involved in Reference endpoint).

  • Reference Tuning Properties - Reference endpoint properties used to tune the service to alter performance factor such as throughput and throttling.

The Reports do not provide information on Adapter-specific properties that are not part of Connection Factory properties. For example, the reports do not provide information on LDAP RootDSE properties.

Enabling Display of Adapter Reports

You can enable the following Adapter reports to display in Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control:

You can enable reports by checking the box at the top of the Monitoring Reports page. Another way to enable reports to add corresponding property on the Properties tab.

Monitoring Report

Within a Monitoring report, showing real-time monitoring statistics, the activation spec provides configuration-related information, including:

  • EIS connection configurations, displayed as connection factory properties.

  • Resources that are being accessed. These include Managed Connections and the Most Recent Timestamp for such connections.

  • Additional tuning information, such as Currently Free Connections and Maximum Pool Size for Connections.

Figure 28-1 shows the appearance of the Monitoring report in the context of the Diagnosability and Snapshot reports. This report shows a information related to a service endpoint.

Figure 28-1 Monitoring Report Showing Statistics for a Service Endpoint

Description of Figure 28-1 follows
Description of "Figure 28-1 Monitoring Report Showing Statistics for a Service Endpoint"

See Figure 28-1 for a description of the elements in the Monitoring Report.

Table 28-1 Adapter Monitoring Report Elements

Element Description

Server Name

The name of the server where the endpoint is deployed.

EIS Connection Status

Indicates if the EIS is connected to the Endpoint. You can click status icon to obtain stack trace if status is Not connected.

Managed Connections

Connection pool statistics for the managed connections for this Adapter to Enterprise Information System (EIS) systems.

Currently Free

The pool size of this Connector connection pool.

Average Number Used

The running average usage of created connections that are active in the Connector Pool since the pool was last shrunk.

Currently Free

The current total free connections.

Maximum Pool Size

The maximum capacity configured for this Connector connection pool.

Most Recent Time Stamp

The most recent time stamp for last message publication and last service activation.

Last Message Publication

Last message published to the fabric for a service endpoint; last message published to the EIS for a reference endpoint.

Last Service Activation

Last time the service endpoint was activated. Only for a service endpoint.

Last Reference Interaction

Last time the reference endpoint was activated. Only for a reference endpoint.

Configuration Reports

The Configuration report within the Diagnosability Report from the Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control dashboard shows a summary of connection factory, binding and activation properties for a specific service endpoint.

Figure 28-2 shows an Adapter Configuration Report for a Service Endpoint, showing Deployment Configuration Type, and information about EIS Connectivity and Service Properties, including definition properties and Tuning Properties, in this case properties that are specific to a File Adapter.

Figure 28-2 Adapter Configuration Reports

Description of Figure 28-2 follows
Description of "Figure 28-2 Adapter Configuration Reports"

See Table 28-2 for a description of the elements in the Adapter Configuration Report.

Note that you need to select Related Links (at the top right of the page) to initiate the process of configuring a connection factory within the WebLogic Server Console.

Table 28-2 Adapter Configuration Reports Elements

Element Description

Deployment Configuration Type

Indicates if the endpoint is part of an active-active or active-passive configuration. This is only displayed for a service endpoint.

EIS Connectivity

Provides information about connection factory properties related to this endpoint and its connection to the Enterprise Information System.

Service Properties

Lists Definition Properties, used to define services specific to this endpoint, and Tuning Properties, used to tune services specific to this endpoint. For Reference Endpoints, there are Reference Properties which include Definition Properties and Tuning Properties.

See the User's Guide to Technology Adapters appendix for the complete list and definitions of the properties.

Snapshot Reports

The Snapshot Reports section of the Service or Reference Adapter Reports Page provides connection downtime and message statistics over a specified period.

Snapshot reports aggregate historical data over a selected period of time.

The default for snapshot data persistence is 15 minutes, which is the period of time collection over which the captured data persists when Write to database is checked. You can configure the snapshot interval from the snapshotInterval property in the Properties tab. Because the default value of some properties on the Properties tab is not shown explicitly, you might need to add snapshotInterval property from the properties page and then modify it as you require. You can select Write to Database on a Report Screen to have the data persisted.

Similarly, you can add or modify enableSnapshots (enables Write to Database) and select the Enables Reports checkbox (enables Reports).

Note that you must understand each Snapshot report in the context of the functioning of the specific adapter; for example, for the Database Adapter, the payload size that is reported and displayed is the size of XML produced by the Adapter, never the size of XML consumed by the Adapter.

Where an adapter has no output, the size is reported as 0.

For the same service endpoint, you can correlate information from the Snapshot report and the Monitoring Report.

Figure 28-3 shows an example Snapshot Report, with the Message Statistics tab selected. The Report shows:

  • Data will be retrieved over the last 24 hours

  • The name of the server for which information is being collected

  • Average Message Size, in bytes

  • Maximum Message Size, in bytes

  • Minimum Message Size, in bytes

  • Total Message Size, in bytes

  • Number of Messages

  • Data Location, specifying Persisted or In-Memory, as indicated by an icon and tooltip

  • Write to Database-enables data persistence. By default, the data is not persisted. Note that when enabled, persistence is enabled concurrently for both EIS Connection statistics and Message statistics at once. Once you enable persistence, the value for writes to the database is displayed (for example, "every 15 minutes".)

  • The Start EIS Downtime-when the connection downtime began

  • The End EIS Downtime-when the connection downtime ended

  • Error Summary-A summary of the errors that might be related to the downtime.

  • Total EIS Connection Downtime.

  • Data Location, specifying Persisted or In-Memory, as indicated by an icon and tooltip

  • Show XML button, which when clicked on provides XML data for the information that is displayed.

Description of "Figure 28-4 Snapshot Report with EIS Connection Downtime Tab Selected "
Snapshot Reporting Persistence and Intervals

The snapshot persistence period can provide historical data over the period the data is persisted; this period is different than the global refresh period for the Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control.

You must also distinguish the Snapshot Interval (default is 15 minutes) versus the Retrieve Data period, which is defaulted to one day.

Persisted and In-memory data is shown per query criteria (that is, EIS connection downtime falls within the time range used for searching or message publication time is within the time range used for searching).

The persistence setting provides a way to guard saved data from crashes and downtime. However, there is a performance cost to retaining saved data.

A Data Location column in the reports contains either or both of two icons which signify the place of origin of the data in the reports in the appropriate row: either from persistent data or from in-memory data.

Also note that data is not persisted in the following circumstances.

For non-persisted (in-memory) data, when the following occur:

  • Write to database is unchecked

  • The adapter's composite application is shutdown or retired

  • Composite is un-deployed

  • The Adapter endpoint is de-activated (for service endpoints)

  • The SOA server is bounced

  • Auto purge occurred

For persisted data, data is not persisted when the following occur:

  • Auto purge occurred

You can search and retrieve past data. Therefore, the Retrieve Data search control is always available for data that persists. The search feature is specific to Enterprise Information System (EIS) Connection statistics and is distinct from Message statistics.

Table 28-3 provides information about the different elements found in the Snapshot Adapter Reports and their meaning.

Table 28-3 Snapshot Adapter Report Elements

Element Description

EIS Connection Downtime

(Only shown for the service downtime.)

Select a Time Range

The time range filter delimits the statistics displayed in the snapshot reports to a specified number of minutes, hours, days, or weeks.

Message statistics

Server Name

The name of the server where this endpoint is displayed.

Average Message Size

Average message size processed for the filtered snapshot interval.

Maximum Message Size

Maximum message size processed for the filtered snapshot interval.

Minimum Message Size

Minimum message size processed for the filtered snapshot interval.

Total Message Size (Bytes)

Sum total of all the messages processed for the filtered snapshot interval.

Number of Messages

Number of messages processed for the filtered snapshot interval.

Data Location

Specifies Persisted or In-Memory, as indicated by an icon and tooltip.

Write to Database

Select this checkbox to enable persistence. The value (for example, every 15 minutes) shows how often that write to the database happens, when enabled. By default the check box is not selected. Persistence is enabled for both EIS Connection starts and Message statistics at the same time. The screen indicates the following: “Select to persist the data. Persisted data remains available in case of downtimes or crashes, or if you disable the reports; but it impacts performance.

Persistence operations involve a snapshot scheduler and repetitive I/O (disk read and write) operations. Persistent operations are different from in-memory operations because I/O operations from memory are faster than Database operations.

Configuration Report Categories and Adapter Properties Reported

The following tables show, for each Adapter type, the configuration report category, the available property name, and a description of each property. Although adapter configuration properties can be set at service/reference Mbean and Adapter binding Mbean, the Adapter configuration report shows only properties from the Adapter binding Mbean.

If a file is detected in the input directory and its modification time is less than 5 minutes older than the current time, the file is not retrieved because it is still potentially being written to.

PublishSize

Indicates that a file contains multiple messages and specifies how many messages should be processed at one time. For example, if a file has 11 records and this parameter is set to 2, then the file will be processed 2 records at a time and the final record will be processed in the 6th iteration.

jca.message.encoding

This parameter is used to override the encoding specified in the NXSD schema for the inbound File/FTP Adapter.

Table 28-11 File Adapter Service Tuning Properties

Property Name Description

ThreadCount

If this parameter is available, the adapter creates its own processor threads rather than depending on the global thread pool processor threads (by default 4 of them). In other words, this parameter partitions the in-memory queue and each composite app gets its own in-memory queue. If the ThreadCount is set to 0, it behaves in the same manner as the SingleThreadModel. If the ThreadCount is set to -1, it begins using the global thread pool. The maximum value for this property is 40.

SingleThreadModel

If the value is true, the File/FTP Adapter poller processes files in the same thread. That is, it does not use the global in-memory queue for processing.

MaxRaiseSize

Specifies the maximum number of files that the File/FTP Adapter will submit for processing in each polling cycle. For example, if the inbound directory has 1000 files and this parameter is set to 100 and the polling frequency is one minute, then the File/FTP Adapter will submit 100 files every minute.

Table 28-12 File Adapter Reference Definition Properties

Property Name Description

PhysicalDirectory

Directory path for outbound file write.

NumberMessages

Used for outbound batching. The outgoing file is created when the number of messages condition is met. The parameter is of type String and is not mandatory. The default value is 1.

FileNamingConvention

Specifies the naming convention for the outbound write operation file.

Append

If set to true, the File/FTP Adapter to appends to a file on the outbound. If the file does not exist, a new file is created.

ChunkSize

Specifies the chunk size for the chunked interaction operation.

Table 28-13 File Adapter Reference Tuning Properties

Property Name Description

ConcurrentThreshold

Specifies the maximum number of translation activities that can be allowed to execute in parallel for a particular outbound scenario. The translation step during the outbound operation is CPU intensive and hence needs to be guarded as it might cause other applications/threads to starve. The maximum is 100 (same value as the maximum for dspMaxThreads in BPEL.)

UseStaging

If  set to true, then the outbound File/FTP Adapter writes translated data to a staging file and then it streams the staging file to the target file. If  false, the outbound File/FTP Adapter does not use an intermediate staging file.

inMemoryTranslation

Applicable only if UseStaging is false. If set to true, the translation step occurs in-memory (that is, an in-memory byte array is created). If set to false, then the adapter creates an output stream to the target file and allows the translator to translate and write directly to the stream.

serializeTranslation

If set to true, the translation step is serialized using a semaphore. The number of permits for semaphore (guarding the translation step) comes from the ConcurrentThreshold parameter. If false, then the translation step occurs outside the semaphore.

RecentDateFormat

Specifies the recent date format value. On the FTP server, this is the value for files that were recently created.

ListParserKey

Directs the FTP Adapter how it should parse the response from the LIST command. The default value is UNIX, in which case the Oracle FTP Adapter uses a generic parser for UNIX-like FTP servers. The other supported values are WIN /WINDOWS for Microsoft Windows NT, FTP server and MVS for FTP severs running on MVS systems.

Scheduling JCA Adapter Endpoint Activation and Deactivation using Oracle Enterprise Scheduler

You can schedule activation and deactivation of the SOA composite JCA Adapter Services from Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control.

Using Oracle Enterprise Scheduler schedule metadata you provide, you can:

  • Schedule a request for composite JCA Adapter service activation.

  • Schedule a request for composite JCA Adapter service deactivation.

Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control also displays the current state of an Adapter endpoint (composite service), which can be either active or inactive.

You can also edit existing metadata to alter your schedule, and you can remove schedules for Adapters.

Note:

Because the Oracle Enterprise Scheduler installation is optional, this feature is not be available if the Oracle Enterprise Scheduler is not installed.

Follow these steps to schedule activation and deactivation of the SOA composite JCA Adapter Services:

Create the Schedule Metadata

To create the schedule metadata, you fill in a form by selecting Define Schedules. The form populates the metadata.

  1. In Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control, login to the Scheduling Services page, and navigate to the SOA Infrastructure menu -> Define Schedules page by using the Scheduling Services menu.
  2. The next Oracle Enterprise Scheduler page lists schedules for submitting jobs.
  3. On this page, select the Create button to launch the page that helps create the schedule metadata.
  4. Define the schedule metadata on this page. Provide a name for the schedule, a display name, a description, frequency of activation and deactivation and start date of the schedule. Ensure you create the schedule metadata in the /oracle/apps/ess/custom/soa package.

Use the Created Schedule Metadata to Schedule the Deactivation and Activation of a SOA Composite JCA Adapter

You next use the metadata you have created to schedule the deactivation and activation of an Adapter.

  1. Once the schedule is created, navigate back to the SOA Composite home page, and then to the Services and References page of the Composite Application or the SOA Infra page (to see Services and References across Composites).
  2. In the Service home page, select a JCA Adapter. Select the icon provided in the top-right of the page to launch the popup to schedule the deactivation. The icon is shown in on the right side. This button activates or deactivates the endpoint when selected. It provides a manual way to activate or deactivate the schedule.
  3. The popup has two sections: Deactivate and Activate. Each section has a drop-down that displays the saved schedule. Select an activation and a deactivation schedule, and select the Apply Schedules button to enable automated activation for this adapter or to refresh already applied schedules. (Both sections are mandatory.)

    The Adapter endpoint status is shown with an icon on the service home page.

    Select Remove Schedules to stop automated activation/deactivation for this adapter

    If the Adapter already has activate/deactivate schedules set, you have the option to cancel them and to add a new schedule, or simply to cancel the schedule.

    When a drop-down list appears blank, this indicates that the endpoint is no longer associated with a schedule.

Editing Oracle Enterprise Scheduler Schedule Metadata

You can edit existing metadata you have created using the Oracle Enterprise Scheduler/Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control page. To do so:

  1. Navigate to the Scheduling Services -> Job Requests -> Define Schedules page by using the Scheduling Services menu.
  2. The existing schedules will be listed in the table. Select the one you want to modify and to select the Edit button on the table's toolbar.
  3. The Edit Schedule metadata screen opens and displays the current state of the Schedule. Click the Change Frequency button.
  4. Click Yes on the warning popup that is displayed.
  5. The Schedule opens up in a editable mode, and you can make necessary modifications. If you change the schedule, it does not automatically apply to adapter activate/deactivate requests that have already been issued with that schedule. You have to reissue the activate/deactivate requests.

Removing Schedules from an Adapter Endpoint

You can remove schedules from an Adapter Endpoint. To do so:

  1. After deactivation and activation schedules have been attached to the Adapter endpoint, the icon reflects the state accordingly. Select this icon to display the popup with schedules associated with this Adapter pre-selected.
  2. Select the Remove Schedules button to remove the schedules from this Adapter endpoint.
  3. A confirmation dialog appears. Click Ok to remove the schedules.

Monitoring Adapter Resiliency

Resiliency deals with downstream service outages or connectivity issues that cause failures to build up within SOA. Within the context of JCA Technology Adapters, this means dealing with downstream service outages related to Adapters.

If a downstream endpoint is down or behaving sporadically, a large number of instances are forwarded to the error hospital and have to be recovered. If the endpoint is down, machine resources are wasted, as they partially process instances which are not going to complete anyway. The solution is to suspend upstream inbound adapters. With failure resiliency in place, messages wait in a queue or a topic until the endpoint is resumed.

To use resiliency, the first step is to enable it. You can enable it globally: each downstream endpoint inherits the failure resiliency configuration but you can override this resiliency for that one endpoint.

Once the upstream endpoint is suspended, periodically, one or a few messages are let into the flow. If the downstream endpoint is detected as clear, the upstream endpoint automatically resumes.

The Resiliency feature determines when a downstream endpoint is down based on system errors based on error rate heuristics (that is, M failures in N minutes.)

It then disables/suspends upstream endpoints where messages originated and leaves incoming messages in the natives system rather than erring out in SOA (Adapters, WebServices)

EDN events are still queued up in the system but not read by the subscriber.

The Resiliency feature supports JMS, AQ, DB, File and FTP Adapters.

WebService requests will be rejected.

The Resiliency feature monitors downstream endpoints and determine when the endpoints come back up by periodically processing inbound requests and re-enabling upstream endpoints if there is success in enabling a message to go through.

Resiliency provides Fusion Middleware Control dashboard notification and history for disabled endpoints; re-enabled status of upstream endpoints and enables upstream endpoints to be resumed from Fusion Middleware Control.

For complete information, see the section on resiliency in this guide.

Adapter Properties for Resiliency

You can define adapter properties in Fusion Middleware Control (in Adapter properties screen) and by using JDeveloper, the WebService properties are set using MBeans in Fusion Middleware Control and the same way as Adapters in JDev (composite bindings). Note that EDN subscribers cannot override resiliency properties.
