BAM data objects import/export

BAM comes with iCommand for admin purpose. iCommand is in $MW_HOME/ORACLE_SOA/bam/bin folder.

Follow these steps to export:
1) edit config/BAMICommandConfig.xml file. change ADCServerName and port number, where BAM server is running
2) create export.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<OracleBAMCommands continueonerror="1">
<!-- to export data-object "myDO" -->
<Export name="/operations/myProject/myDO" file="myDataObject.xml" contents="0" />
<!-- to export data-object "myDO_1" -->
<Export name="/operations/myProject/myDO_1" file="myDataObject1.xml" contents="0" />
<!-- export all reports -->
<Export type="report" all="1" file="AllReports.xml" />
<!-- export specific report -->
<Export type="report" name="/public/shared/myReport" file="myReport.xml" />
</OracleBAMCommands>

3) execute iCommand as follow

> icommand -cmdfile export.xml

Follow these steps for import
1) edit config/BAMICommandConfig.xml file. change ADCServerName and port number, where BAM server on which configuration needs to be imported.
2) execute following commands to import previously created xml files:
>icommand -cmd import -mode update -file myDataObject.xml

Java embedding in BPEL 2.0

According to BPEL 2.0 specifications, java embedding is not available as standard activity. Though BPEL 2.0 allows to define and use non-standard activity using <extensionActivity> element. So you will find following syntax changes from BPEL 1.1.

In Oracle SOA suite, <bpelx:exec> element appears inside <extensionactivity> element.

Also, the java import has different syntax as below:
<import importtype="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension/java" location="class/package name"></import>

Here is an example:
<process name="myTest" targetNamespace="http://test.oracle.com/bpel2.0/myTest">
. . .
. . .
<import location="java.util.Date"
importType="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension/java"/>
. . .
<sequence>
. . .
<extensionActivity>
<bpelx:exec language="java">
System.out.println("Current time is: "+ new Date());
</bpelx:exec>
</extensionActivity>
