Mule ESB 3.4.4: Configure Oracle JDBC driver in Mule Developer Studio

Mule ESB 3.4.4: Configure  Oracle JDBC driver in Mule Developer Studio

A JDBC driver is a software component enabling a Java application to interact with a database. 

To connect with individual databases, JDBC (the Java Database Connectivity API) requires drivers for each database. The JDBC driver gives out the connection to the database and implements the protocol for transferring the query and result between client and database.

• Right Click on Project Explorer
• Right Click on Build Path
• Right Click on Add External Archives

• Choose the location of the Oracle JDBC driver. Press Open.

• You can the driver in the Referenced Libraries .

Create a Data Source

• 1.) Click on Global Elements; 2.) Click on Create; 3.) Click on Data Sources; 4.) Click on Oracle Data Sources;5.)Click on OK

• 1.) Enter JDBC URL;2.) Enter user name; 3.)Enter password.

Create a connector

• 1.) Click on Global Elements; 2.) Click on Create; 3.) Click on Connectors; 4.) Click on Database;5.)Click on OK

OIAM 11.1.2. / SOA 11.1.1.7 : Reset Expired Passwords for Infrastructure tables

OIAM 11.1.2. / SOA 11.1.1.7 : Reset Expired Passwords for Infrastructure  tables

By default the passwords for OIM and SOA infrastructure tables expire in 180 days. Incase the password expire we need to reset the password so the OIAM and SOA managed servers can be started.

To resolve this issue, following steps can be taken.

1.)  Connect to database using sys users.


2.)  Run the SQL statement select * from dba_profiles;

Here PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME field is responsible for expiring of password after 180 days.

3.  Execute following command to disable this feature:

Sql> ALTER PROFILE DEFAULT LIMIT PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME UNLIMITED;

SQL> select * from dba_profiles;

5.) We need to Reset the password of the locked user. We can use the same password or a different password.

SQL> SPOOL PassworrdResetList.sql

SQL> select 'alter user "'||d.username||'" identified by values '''||u.password||''';' c

from dba_users d, sys.user$ u

where u.user# = d.user_id

and  d.username IN (select username from dba_users where account_status like 'EXPIRED%')

SQL>SPOOL OFF

6.) SPOOL file will give a list of ALTER USER commands. execute these commands to reset the passwords.

7.) 

SQL> SPOOL LockedUsers.sql

SQL> select 'ALTER USER ' || username || ' ACCOUNT UNLOCK;' from dba_users where account_status like '%LOCKED%';

SQL> SPOOL OFF

8.) Run all the ALTER USER username ACCOUNT UNLOCK from the spool file. Please ensure that you DO NOT UNLOCK those users which are recommended to remain LOCKED by Oracle.
