Oracle SOA Suite 12.2.1.3 HA Setup- Per Host Nodemanager Startup Issue

-
This post is focused on my recent engagement with production setup of Oracle SOA Suite 12.2.1.3 and issue that encountered during nodemanager startup. Below are my environment details-
  1. Oracle SOA Suite- 12.2.1.3
  2. Oracle Database- 12.2.1.0
  3. Oracle Linux- 7.5
  4. Nodemanager type- Manual (Per Host Node Manager Setup)

TOPOLOGY

SOAHOST1
     -/u01/oracle/config/domains/soabpm_domain [ASERVER_HOME] [SAN Storage mounted on SOAHOST1 as /u01/oracle]
     -/u01/oracle/products/soa_oracle_home [ORACLE_HOME]
     -/u01/oracle/products/soa_oracle_home/wlserver [WLS_HOME]
     -/u02/oracle/config/domains/soabpm_domain [MSERVER_HOME]
     -/u02/oracle/config/nodemanager/ [NM_HOME]
          --startNodeManager.sh
          --nodemanager.domains

     -/u02/oracle/config/domains/soabpm_domain [MSERVER_HOME]
     -/u02/oracle/config/nodemanager/ [NM_HOME]
          --startNodeManager.sh
          --nodemanager.domains
          --nodemanager.properties
I have selected manual nodemanager setup during the configuration.

 After the successful installation and configuration I have tried to start the node manager from NM_HOME location on SOAHOST1 which caused below error-

 Observation and Workaround
  1. Initially, it looks like library missing or path issue associated with the requested library 'weblogic.nodemanager.server.LogFormatter'.
  2. Since the current nodemanager has a new location and might not be able to load the requested library.
  3. As a workaround, I have commented the library inclusion of   "LogFormatter" variable.
  4. #LogFormatter=weblogic.nodemanager.server.LogFormatter
  5. Started the nodemangaer with rest of unchanged settings now and it's starting normally on both HOST machines i.e. SOAHOST1 & SOAHOST2.
  6. Upon close observation of nodemanager startup log, it shows inclusion of LogFormatter=weblogic.nodemanager.server.LogFormatter as nodemanager properties.
  7. In addition, I have checked and corrected all environment specific vairaibles on SOAHOST1 and SOAHOST2 for respective user's bash profile-
    1. JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jdk/jdk1.8.0_181
    2. ASERVER_HOME=/u01/oracle/config/domains/soabpm_domain
    3. MSERVER_HOME=/u02/oracle/config/domains/soabpm_domain
    4. ORACLE_RUNTIME=/u01/oracle/runtime
    5. ORACLE_HOME=/u01/oracle/products/soa_oracle_home
    6. ORACLE_COMMON_HOME=/u01/oracle/products/soa_oracle_home/oracle_common
    7. WL_HOME=/u01/oracle/products/soa_oracle_home/wlserver
    8. NM_HOME=/u02/oracle/config/nodemanager
    9. APPLICATION_HOME=/u01/oracle/config/applications
    10. DEPLOY_PLAN_HOME=/u01/oracle/config/dp

In this post, I am going to show how to implement email notifications in Oracle SOA Suite using BPEL process. So let's get started- Implementing email notification in Oracle SOA Suite consists of below steps: Environment- IDE- Oracle jDeveloper 11g Weblogic Server 12c Oracle SOA Suite 12c High Level Steps Keep ready email server settings. Configure & enable usermessagingdriver-email for target SOA servers via console. Setting up Email driver (usermessagingdriver-email )with email server settings via enterprise manager. Enable notifications for SOA workflows(make sure either All or EMail option is selected).. Create SOA composite application Deploy it on SOA server. Testing & done. 1. Keep ready email server settings. Keep ready your below email server settings: Outgoing Mail Server          : smtp.domain.com Outgoing Mail Server Port   : xxx Default From Address         : username@doamin.com Outgoing Username            : actualemailid@doma

Hi Everyone, in this blog I'll be writing one of the strange issue that has been encountered while working with a Oracle SOA composite running in Oracle IDAM environment and trying to invoke a SSL based remote service where SSL certification based exception has been thrown during the service invocation.

Migration of Oracle SOA Suite Composite from 11g to 12c

Recently I have came across a scenario where I have a business requirement of  migration of Oracle SOA Suite 11g(11.1.1.7.0) to 12c(12.1.3.0). Below are the different mechanisms I have tried to do, few of them failed and one succeeded. Working in Oracle SOA Suite 11g is completely different from 12c. In 11g, we need to install the jDeveloper(11.1.1.7) then SOA extension separately to be installed either via offline file  (download available at  https://www.oracle.com/ocom/groups/public/@otn/documents/webcontent/156082.xml ) or through jDeveloper top menu >>  Help >> Check for Updates >> SOA Extension.  While working with 12c doesn't involves such tedious job. Only single installer is required for jDeveloper/SOA/Weblogic and is available as QuickStart Installer(download available at https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/soasuite/downloads/index.html). Approach 1- Compress(Zip) SOA composite code of 11g version (11.1.1.7.0) and unzip to a differe
