SOA 12c ESS - Schedule SOA composite and OSB Proxy Services

Description:
ESS out of the box feature is used to schedule SOA Suite composites and Service Bus proxy services. Composites can be scheduled in two ways. One is to have a composite with a web service interface be executed at the scheduled time by ESS. The second is for a composite with an inbound polling adapter to be scheduled to process messages only between scheduled times. Also Service Bus proxy services with a web service interface can be executed at the scheduled time by ESS. We can schedule Asynchronous/Synchronous/Onaway web services in once, 30 minutes interval, hourly, daily, and weekly and so on.

Below job types are included in the Enterprise Service Scheduler.

1. Java
2. Web Service
3. EJB
4. PL/SQL
5. Process job type for executing a command-line command.

Schedule SOA Composite Web Service using ESS:

Here scheduling an Asynchronous SOA Composite per 30 minutes basis. 

We need to setup following 3 steps.

1. Define the job
2. Schedule the job
3. Run the job

First I just created an Asynchronous SOA Composite AsyncESSProject.

WSDL:

http://hostname:8001/soa-infra/services/POC/AsyncESSProject/asyncbpelprocess_client_ep?WSDL

Step1: Define the Job

Go to Target Navigation⇾Scheduling Services⇾ESSAPP

Scheduling Services⇾Job Meta Data ⇾ Job Definitions

Click on create to define new job.

Enter the Job Name and display Name, also choose the Job type. 

AsyncESSTest composite is Asynchronous SOA composite which we need to schedule so we choose “ASyncWebserviceJobType” from drop down.

Note: We can also choose SynchronousWebServiceJobType and OneWayWebServiceType depending on our web service type.

Click on select web service button, this will open the pop-up box. Provide Composite WSDL URL and choose SOA as WebService Type

Provide WSDL URL and click Go button

Note: Here we can see Service Bus option that means we can also schedule Service BUS web Service.

Click on Services and choose port type. Choose Operation and modify the payload content as per your requirement.

Press Ok

Step2: Define the Schedule

Once we defined the job, next step is to define the schedule. To define the schedules go to ESSAPP⇾Job Requests⇾Define Schedules

Click on create to define new schedule.

Click Create button.

Fill schedule name and define frequency of the schedule.

Note: here we can select the scheduling frequency like once, Hourly/Minute/Daily/Weekly etc.

Note: Generally we will not use Use End Date. We will uncheck this option.

Press ok.

Step3: Submit Job Request

Once you define the Job and Schedule, next step is to submit the job request. To submit the job request go to ESSAPP⇾Job Requests⇾Submit Job Requests

Choose the Job which you want to schedule. Choose the job which we defined in first step.

Choose the existing schedule. Choose the schedule which we define is second step.

Scheduling completed for this Service. Now we can see in below screenshot that this scheduler is waiting for 30 minutes to run.

Open the composite instance and we can see that the defined scheduler triggered this service 30 minutes interval.

Schedule OSB Service Web Service using ESS:

Here we are scheduling Synchronous OSB Service Hourly basis.

We need to setup following 3 steps.

1. Define the job
2. Schedule the job
3. Run the job

First I just created a Synchronous OSB Service ESSPOCSBProject.

WSDL:

http://hostname:2001//ESSPOCSBProject/ESSTestHelloWorldProxyService?wsdl

Step1: Define the Job

Target Navigation⇾Scheduling Services⇾ESSAPP

This is the first step that we need to perform when we schedule any job through ESS. To define the job right click on ESSAPP⇾Job Metadata⇾Job Definitions

Click on create to define the new job.

Enter the Job Name and display Name, also choose the Job type. ESSPOCSBProject OSB Service is synchronous SOA composite which we need to schedule so we choose “SyncWebserviceJobType” from drop down.

Click on select web service button, this will open the pop-up box. Provide ESSPOCSBProject WSDL URL and choose Service Bus as Web service Type and press Go button.

Click on Services and choose port type.

Modify the payload content as per your requirement.

Press ok.

Step2: Define the Schedule

Once we defined the job, next step is to define the schedule. To define the schedules go to ESSAPP ⇾Job Requests⇾Define Schedules

Click on create to define new schedule.

Fill schedule name and define frequency of the schedule.

Note: Don’t use End date. Make this field “Use End date” unchecked.

Press OK.

Step3: Submit Job Request

Once you define the Job and Schedule, next step is to submit the job request. To submit the job request go to ESSAPP ⇾Job Requests ⇾Submit Job Requests

Choose the Job which you want to schedule. Choose the job which we defined in first step.

Press Go button

Select the required Job and press ok.

 Choose the existing schedule. Choose the schedule which we define is second step.

Select the Schedule and press ok.

All the three steps completed successfully.
