Change as needed o Username/password of weblogic/master1 Identify your SOA and MFT hostnames and ports for later use in these documents

o EXAMPLE: MFT - localhost:7001; SOA - localhost:7101 You have fully completed the exercise in the MFT Getting Started document o Orders2ProcurementTransfer is deployed and tested JDeveloper is installed and open with an Application Server Connection defined o This requires a SOA sever hostname, port, domain name, user and password Introduction This chapter gives instructions on how to use Oracle Managed File Transfer to process documents that can be passed to a SOA 11g or 12c composite. The completed MFT flow looks like the following. High- Level Steps Create and Deploy a SOA Project in JDeveloper for MFT to Invoke 1. In JDeveloper, create a connection to your SOA server 2. Create a new Composite and BPEL Process with Define Service Later 3. In the Composite editor, create an MFT service with SOA Component MFT Binding 4. Create a Receive activity and wire it to the MFT service Oracle MFT SOA Integrations Page 2 of 21

5. Create a Reply activity and wire it to the MFT service 6. Create an Assign activity to send a response to the MFT service response 7. Save, deploy and test. Create and Deploy a SOA Target in MFT to Invoke the SOA Composite 1. In MFT Designer, create a new SOA Target artifact 2. Add it to the Orders2ProcurementTransfer you previously created 3. Save, Deploy and Test 4. Go to SOA EM Console and view the composite instance that was created Modify BPEL Process to Parse Inbound Payload Types from MFT 1. In JDeveloper, edit the BPEL process created previously 2. Create a Composite Reference pointing to a Composite Service. 3. Create an If activity to process an inline file. 4. Assign the MFT Inline Payload to BPEL Variable 5. Save, deploy and test Steps in Detail Create and Deploy a SOA Project in JDeveloper for MFT to Invoke Goals In this lab, you will learn how to build an MFT Service in a SOA Composite and invoke it from MFT. You will see how MFT dynamically decides based on file size whether to pass the content inline or by reference. Make sure your SOA server is in Development mode so you can view the MFT headers passed to SOA composite. If you are using SOA and JDeveloper 11g, there are instructions on how to build your composite from the provided MFTSOAService.wsdl. The completed 12c MFT- Orders composite and BPEL Process looks like the following. Oracle MFT SOA Integrations Page 3 of 21

JDeveloper: Create new Application and Composite Project MFT Orders In JDeveloper Resources Window(Window- >Resources), verify your servers are started and a valid connection exists to the SOA Application server. Create a new SOA Project Composite and BPEL 2.0 Process with Define Service Later o Project Type: SOA Project o Project Name=MFT Orders o Start from: Composite With BPEL Process o BPEL 2.0 Specification o Template: Define Service Later o BPEL Process Name: MFTBPELProcessor Oracle MFT SOA Integrations Page 4 of 21

JDeveloper 12c: Create Composite Service using the MFT Binding In Composite editor, create an MFT Service using the SOA Component MFT Binding o Service Name: MFTOrders Oracle MFT SOA Integrations Page 5 of 21

Wire the Service to the BPEL Process and Save All JDeveloper 11g: Create Composite Service using the MFT Abstract WSDL JDeveloper 11g does not have the MFT binding so you will use a regular Web Service binding with the MFTSOAService.wsdl. Copy the following WSDL from your MFT installation home into your local file system o $MW_HOME/mft/integration/wsdl/MFTSOAService.wsdl In Composite editor, create an MFT Service using the Web Service Binding with the above WSDL o Service Name: MFTOrders Select the MFTSOAService.wsdl Oracle MFT SOA Integrations Page 6 of 21

Click OK Review, Click copy wsdl and dependent artifacts into the project and Click OK Oracle MFT SOA Integrations Page 7 of 21

Wire the Service to the BPEL Process, Click OK and Save All Oracle MFT SOA Integrations Page 8 of 21

Build the BPEL Process Open BPEL editor, create Receive activity, wire it to the MFTOrders and set input variable o Name: ReceiveMFT o Create Instance: Checked o Variable: ReceiveMFT_submit_InputVariable Create a Reply activity, wire it to the MFTOrders and create output variable o Name: ReplyMFT o Variable: ReplyMFT_submit_OutputVariable Create an Assign Activity Copy Rule to send the PayloadType as a response Oracle MFT SOA Integrations Page 9 of 21

o $ReceiveMFT_submit_InputVariable.input/@PayloadType o Output: $ReplyMFT_submit_OutputVariable- >payload Save, deploy and test. Verify Deployment Oracle MFT SOA Integrations Page 10 of 21

Create and Deploy a SOA Target in MFT to Invoke the SOA Composite MFT: Send the Order file to a SOA Composite Make sure your SOA server is in development mode so you can see the audit trail A new MFT Target will invoke the MFTOrders composite you previously deployed. Get endpoint URL of the deployed composite MFTOrders from the SOA EM Test page Oracle MFT SOA Integrations Page 11 of 21

Target: Create a new Target "OrdersSOATarget" Name: OrderSOATarget Type: SOA URL: http://localhost7101/soa- infra/services/default/mft_orders/mftorders Keep defaults on all other values Click Create Save Expand the Delivery Preferences and set Delivery Method to Oracle MFT SOA Integrations Page 12 of 21

Add the Decompress and PGP Decryption Pre- Processing Actions like you did for the original Procurement File Target. To send the Inline payload as XML, Right Click open the OrdersSOATarget and change Message Type to XML. Oracle MFT SOA Integrations Page 13 of 21

Save and Close the Source and go back to the Transfer Tab Save and Deploy the Transfer Oracle MFT SOA Integrations Page 14 of 21

Test Composite Invocation with Small File Inline Delivery Repeat the test steps you did before by putting the OrderSample.xml.pgp.zip to the /partner1 folder on the MFT Embedded FTP server. This will send the file to SOA inline because the file size is less than the configured Max Inline Size on the Transfer. Go to MFT Monitoring and find your transfer in the File Finder pane o Enter File Name: OrderSample Click the OrdersFTPSource link to view the end to end flow report Notice the File was sent to both targets OrdersSOATarget and OrdersFileTarget Go to the SOA EM Console and view the composite instance details Oracle MFT SOA Integrations Page 15 of 21

Click on the BPEL Process to see the audit trail Click View Payload to see the PayloadType and inline XML payload Oracle MFT SOA Integrations Page 16 of 21

Scroll down to see the headers Oracle MFT SOA Integrations Page 17 of 21

Go back to the Flow Trace View and Click the Managed File Transfer Link This takes you directly back to the MFT Console flow report for full end to end visibility of files transfers. Click Resubmit then Refresh both the MFT flow report and the SOA EM Flow report. Oracle MFT SOA Integrations Page 18 of 21

Notice MFT now shows a resubmitted instance link and SOA EM shows a 2 nd instance of MFTOrders in the same composite flow. This takes advantage of a new SOA EM 12c composite flowid. The behavior in the 11g SOA EM is slightly different due to the lack of a the flow id. Test Composite Invocation with a Large File for Pass- by- Reference Delivery Repeat the previous testing step with the larger file OrderSampleLarge.xmp.pgp.zip See the new instance in the MFT Monitoring console Active Deliveries region. Go back and view the BPEL payload BPEL and observe the different PayloadType and payload as an FTP Reference Oracle MFT SOA Integrations Page 19 of 21

Observations and Advanced Extra Credit Using this metadata, you can modify the composite to process both inline and the reference to send to an outbound composite reference. To process the reference you would need to configure an FTP adapter to do a synch read operation and send it to the outbound service. Splitting or debatching a very large file into smaller files would be an excellent use case for this technique. The MFT header data can also be used to use business rules or manual task approvals based on the file size, the user who uploaded it, the Source name which often corresponds to a partner. MFT Supports the following Payload Types for both inbound Sources and outbound Targets. FtpRefFile FtpRefDir FileRefFile FileRefDir InlineBinary InlineXML Below are screenshot showing an example of how you could build a single multi- purpose MFT processor to handle the different payloads types. This one takes the inbound inline content and sends it to an external OrderProcessing service. Oracle MFT SOA Integrations Page 20 of 21

Here are some hints and tricks if you take on this exercise. 1. Create a global string variable and copy the PayloadType to it then do an if on that variable a. Here is the list of condition expressions for the if else logic FtpRefFile à xp20:compare($payloadtype,'ftpreffile') = 0 FtpRefDir à xp20:compare($payloadtype,'ftprefdir') = 0 FileRefFile à xp20:compare($payloadtype,'filereffile') = 0 FileRefDir à xp20:compare($payloadtype,'filerefdir') = 0 InlineBinary à xp20:compare($payloadtype,'inlinebinary') = 0 InlineXML is the else fall through path which requires no expression. 2. Create an Assign Activity to map the Inline payload to the outbound ProcessOrder input 3. INPUT $ReceiveMFT_submit_InputVariable.input/ ns1:inlinepayload/ns3:order a. Note that you cannot use the UI to create this expression because the MFT WSDL does not know about orders. The part in bold above must be manually added. 4. If you want to try a Sync Read of the passed in file reference to operate on the file, then it would be easier if you change the MFT Target to send a File reference instead of an FTP reference. FTP is useful if MFT and SOA are not sharing the same file system. a. You will need to do some string manipulation of the file:// or ftp:// reference to build the correct filename and path parameters to be sent to the adapter. That completes this exercise. One more interesting exercise would be to bring down the SOA server and run the transfer to observe how exceptions are exposed in this fan- out project. Oracle MFT SOA Integrations Page 21 of 21
