Service Bus 12c deployment issue: MalformedURLException

This is the first error that i had encountered when i started working with oracle service bus 12c.

The resolution is,

• Open weblogic admin console and go to Services --> OSGi Frameworks

• Select bac-svnserver-osgi-framework

• Enter felix.service.urlhandlers=false in the init properties.

• Save the changes and restart the server. The above error should be resolved.

Correlation in oracle BPM 12c (with initiator task)

Using correlation with initiator task in oracle BPM 12c (or in 11g). i. e.., if your requirement is something like you have an initiator task where the process will be kick started and at some point in the process you are using a catch message event waiting for an external system to invoke this and resume the process with the help of correlation.

And surprisingly the correlation didn't work for me.

So I had used and alternative which solved my problem. I moved the catch message event to another process with message start event and called that process from this main process. 

PS: Its a temporary work around that I followed(and worked for my scenario) which might have other issues like timeout for service call etc.

IP address issue for VM in Oracle virtual box

The issue that i used to face whenever I import a VM into oracle virtual box and start it is no IP (the VM will not be assigned with any IP, I normally want to access the VM from my laptop or some other machine).
Here are the steps i followed to resolve this,

1. The network adapter in the settings for the VM should be Bridged adapter (this we will always do it, i am just mentioning just not to miss anything)
2. Go to the VM and open a terminal(mine is a linux VM).
3. Open the network setting by running "system-config-network" command.
   
4. Select Device Configuration
5. Select eth0 and Activate it.
6. 
   Once activated, click on save, save&quit buttons.
7. From the command prompt run following commands,
8. ifdown eth0
9. ifup eth0
10. ifconfig will give the new IP for the VM.
