An unhandled exception has been thrown in the ESB system. The exception reported is: "".

When the error An unhandled exception has been thrown in the ESB system. The exception reported is: "". occures by deployment of the ESB. It can be a problem in the source of the ESB / BPEL.

In our situation the SOAP Services and the ESB were not in sync, that gave the problems. So the source of the ESB and BPEL is changed, that solved the problem.

Identity service cannot get roles in realm "{0}". BPEL identity service fails

We had problems while invoking the service getGrantees on /integration/services/IdentityService/identity.

Identity service cannot get roles in realm "{0}".
Error occurs while getting roles in realm "[REALM]".
Check the error stack and fix the cause of the error. Contact oracle support if error is not fixable.

After we did a new configure on both instances in the cluster:
$ORACLE_HOME/bpel/system/services/install/ant-tasks
./configure_oid.sh orcladmin [password] [port] false [realm] seedRequiredUsers oc4jadmin [password] oc4j_soa

And we checked the differences between the $ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/oc4j_soa/config/system-jazn-data.xml and $ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/config/system-jazn-data.xml. And changed some of the lines.

Everything worked again.

Form-Based Authentication for J2EE application, Netpoint/Oblix/CoreId/Oracle Access Manager, logon second time does not work

A customer of mine was using form based authetication with Oracle Access Manager. When the users logged in for the first time through the login.html screen everyting was ok. But when they logged out and tried to login again the form was not working anymore.

We used the logout.html code from the installation directory of the webgate. After some investigation we found out that the problem was that the registration of the webgates and access gates had different values for the cookie settings.

Primary HTTP Cookie Domain [hostname]
Preferred HTTP Host [virtual hostname]

Automatic BPEL deployment with ant error: A problem occured while connecting to server

Our BPEL deployments with ant were always succesfull but after an while it was not working anymore during the deployment of an BPEL process we got the error as shown below:

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Error executing ant tasks

Embedded error: The following error occurred while executing this line:
[INSTALL_DIR]/common-build.xml:82: A problem occured while connecting to server "[host]" using port "[port]":

Deployment of an BPEL process by placing it in the $ORACLE_HOME/bpel/domains/[BPEL_DOMAIN]/deploy was successfull.

After we enabled the verbose option I noticed which url is used to deploy the BPEL process http://hostname:port/integration/services/deploy/deployHttpClientProcess.jsp . The application used is deploy_services in the oc4j_soa container. When the url is executed in an browser an popup is shown on which you should log on. But we got an other error:

Authorization Required
This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required.

This error was caused by an change in the file $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf/mod_oc4j.conf. A while ago we put an line in this config file:

  Oc4jUseOHSErrors on

After we removed Oc4jUseOHSErrors on. Everything worked like it supposed to.

Ldap_Search: DSA Is Unwilling To Perform

Today I wanted to make an shell script that checks if an attribute of an user in the OID had a specific value. I tried to make an ldapsearch statement but it failed with the error:

DSA Is Unwilling To Perform
ldap_search: additional info: Function Not Implemented


I found out that it is not possible to search on an uncataloged (unindexed) attribute.

This can be fixed by:

Create an index on the attribute used in the search using catalog.

For this example:
$ORACLE_HOME/ldap/bin/catalog connect="[ORACLE_SID_METADATA REPOSITORY]" add=true attribute="[SEARCH ATTRIBUTE]"

Output:
This tool can only be executed if you know database user password for OID
Enter OID Password ::

Password of het orcladmin user should be entered now!



Restart the OID server.

Before executing the command read the whole post!!!!! Otherwise your ESB can be corrupted.

With the following command you can clean up your oraesb schema:

cd $ORACLE_HOME/integration/esb/bin
./reset.sh -DDB_URL=jdbc:oracle:thin:@//db_host:db_port/sid -DDB_USER=oraesb -DDB_PASSWORD=oraesb

WATCH OUT when using this on SOA 10.1.3.4 MLR 8

It looks like the database schema of oraesb is corrupted after the reset.sh script. In our case the ESB deployments failed after this. I ran the sql script form the latest patch again and now everything seems fine.

During deployment this error can occur:

Oracle Application Server 10.1.3 Associate OID with OC4J instance

In the EM console of the Oracle Application Server you can connect an OID to an OC4J instance by doing the following:

Click on an oc4j instance - Click on link Administration: Under security you will find Identity Management.

This text is shown:

You can associate an installed Oracle Internet Directory with this OC4J instance. You can then choose to use this Oracle Internet Directory for runtime authentication and authorization for deployed applications.

I assumed that this means that you can associate multiple OID's to different OC4J instances but this is not true. When you change the OID here, it wil change the OID for all OC4J instances on this application server.

When you want to user different OID's for different applications you should put this in the orion-application.xml file of the application.

Than I realised that I changed the password policy in the Oracle Internet Directory. This was the reason for the problem. My policy was that the password should be 8 characters long instead of 5.

When I changed this back to the default policy everything worked ok!

Get version Oracle BPEL

It is not so easy to determine the version of the Oracle BPEL application but I found an note on metalink: 419711.1

In order to find the versions, we have multiple ways for some components:

1. BPEL Process Manager:

We can find the version of BPEL Process Manager from front-end as well as back-end:

a) Finding the version from front-end:

Login to BPEL Console and we find the version on the BPEL Console on the right-hand bottom. The version of BPEL Console is same as BPEL version.

b) Finding the version from back-end:

Execute the obversion.sh located at $ORACLE_HOME/bpel/bin directory. ORACLE_HOME is the location where the SOA Suite is installed.

2. BPEL Repository:

During various stages of installation or upgradation of the BPEL Process Manager or in the process of applying patches to BPEL Process Manager, the Metadata repository would also be upgraded. The version of Metadata version is 2.0.2 or 2.0.3 in 10.1.2.x versions of BPEL Process Manager. The SOA Suite 10.1.3.1.0 version of BPEL Process Manager comes with 2.0.4 version of Metadata repository.

However, some patches would be run against the Metadata repository and we might need to know the versions of the Metadata repository. In such cases, we can use the following SQL to know the version:

SQL> conn orabpel/orabpel;

SQL> SELECT guid FROM version_server;

invalid policy configuration Netpoint/Oblix/CoreId/Oracle Access Manager

If you made a mistake during the configuration of a policy in the policy manager and you locked yourself out of the system it is possible to undo this in the LDAP Directory.
Use an LDAP browser/editor (for example: LDAP browser) to find the entry:
realm
+-o=oblix
+---obapp=PSC
+-----obname=OBAutoSSO_XXXXXXX (find the one you last changed, normally the last created is added at the bottom)

Change the value of the attribute: obenabled from enabled to disabled. Restart the Access Manager and after that it should be possible to log in.

Unsuccessfull/incomplete product setup: Howto: restart product setup of Identity Server/Policy Manager, Netpoint/Oblix/CoreId/Oracle Access Manager

If something goes wrong (Empty browser window, no response) during the product setup of the Identity Server/Policy Manager in the browser it is possible to restart the product setup by changing the setup.xml of the product. Set the status Value to incomplete instead of done and you can start over with the product setup.

Location of setup.xml:
WebPass: $WEBPASS_HOME/access/oblix/config
Identity server: $IDENTITY_HOME/identity/oblix/config
