Customize Your Error Messages: A Step-by-Step Guide to Changing OSB Errors in Oracle Fusion Middleware

Step 1: Enable Custom Error Messages in Oracle Fusion Middleware

Before you can start customizing OSB error messages, you need to enable custom error messages in Oracle Fusion Middleware. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Log in to the Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control.
2. Navigate to the osb domain.
3. Click on the Error Handling tab.
4. Check the Enable Custom Error Messages checkbox.
5. Click Apply to save your changes.

Step 2: Create a Custom Error Handler in Oracle Service Bus

Now that custom error messages are enabled, you need to create a custom error handler in Oracle Service Bus. This error handler will intercept OSB errors and return a custom error message instead. To create a custom error handler, follow these steps:

1. Log in to the Oracle Service Bus Console.
2. Click on the Error Handlers tab.
3. Click on the New Error Handler button.
4. Enter a unique name for your error handler (e.g., CustomErrorHandler).
5. Select the Error Handler Type as Custom Error Handler.
6. Click Save to create the error handler.

Step 3: Configure the Custom Error Handler

Now that you have created a custom error handler, you need to configure it to return a custom error message. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Click on the Error Handler tab.
2. Click on the CustomErrorHandler that you created earlier.
3. Click on the Error Messages tab.
4. Click on the New Error Message button.
5. Select the Error Code that you want to customize (e.g., BUS-350010).
6. Enter a custom error message in the Error Message field.
7. Click Save to save your changes.

Step 4: Deploy the Custom Error Handler

Finally, you need to deploy the custom error handler to your Oracle Service Bus environment. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Click on the Deploy tab.
2. Select the CustomErrorHandler that you created earlier.
3. Click on the Deploy button.
4. Wait for the deployment to complete.

Testing the Custom Error Message

Now that you have deployed the custom error handler, it’s time to test it. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Simulate an error by sending a request to a service that will fail (e.g., a service with an invalid endpoint).
2. Check the error message received by the client.
3. Verify that the custom error message is displayed instead of the default OSB error message.
