How to change the timeout of EM console in SOA 11g ?
1. In your SOA installation look for "emoms.properties" file
The path should be somewhere in your SOA_HOME under domains folder
SOA_HOME/user_projects/domains/base_domain/servers/AdminServer/tmp/_WL_user/em/hsz5x1/META-INF/emoms.properties
2. Edit the file and add the line
oracle.sysman.eml.maxInactiveTime= < value > where Value it's in minutes
4. Restart Admin & SOA server.

How to Reset CAMM Admin Account Password
If you forgot the password for "admin" account , this is a simple way to reset it .
Look in your CAMM install folder for file "AccessControl.xml"
You should see following section regarding the "admin" account:
If you want to reset the password you can set it to
Active Directory and SOA 11g
. Login to Weblogic Console ( http://host:7001/console) and go to
Security Realms -> myrealm -> Providers
2. Click on "New" to create a new Provider. Let's assume you will call this provider AD.
You must select ActiveDirectoryAuthenticator as provider type.
Click OK.
3. Now , you should have the following list of providers. At this point we need to reorder the provider
list so that AD will be the first one. This step is needed for Worklist application, otherwise you
will not be able to login with the AD users in worklist.
After reordering you should have the following list of providers
4. Click on AD provider and then open the tab Provider Specific .
NOTE : this is an example, you should set the parameters to match your AD configuration.
The rest you can leave unchanged for now. Click Save.
Control Flag: SUFFICIENT
6. Restart Admin and SOA managed server to activate the changes
7. Create a new User in AD - let's call it 'dummy'
8. Look in Weblogic Console at "Users and Groups" in "myrealm" . You should be able to see the new AD user "dummy"
9. Now try to login to worklist (http://host:8001/integration/worklistapp/)
You should be able to login with "dummy" user .
ServerURL and Callback Server URL in SOA 11g
When you want to test a composite in SOA 11g you will see something similar to this screenshot :
You would want to change the "localhost.localdomain" part of the URL to some other hostname - for example I will use "deskLinux". To do this you need to modify the ServerURL and CallbackServerURL in the SOA configuration. This can be easily done via SOA Enterprise Manager :
1. Right Click on SOA-INFRA component in the left navigation tree. Go to Soa Administration --> Common Properties
2. Set the CallBackServerURL and the ServerURL to http://deskLinux:8001 and click Save button
How to Set a Timeout for a Web Service in SOA 11g ?
In 11g SOA we don't have anymore the "Timeout" property that we can put in Web Service invocations to set a maximum wait time in a sync BPEL invocation - so the solution presented in Setting a Timeout for a WebService invocation in BPEL will not work anymore in BPEL 11g.
I will explain below how to set a TIMEOUT on a Web Service invocation when using SOA 11g . This can only be used when only Web Service invocation is made through HTTP.
1. For a process that invokes a Web Service, we want to set a timeout of maximum 10 seconds that the SOA application will wait for the answer. If no response is received within the specified timeout, then we want to catch the timeout error and perform a series of other activities.
The sample below is for a BPEL in a SOA Composite - it will work the same way with Mediator as the timeout is set in composite.xml file and not in some specific BPEL file .
2. Let's say the SOA composite looks like this:
oracle.webservices.httpReadTimeout = 10000 (in MiliSeconds)
If the Web Service is on the same domain as the SOA Composite , you will also have to set :oracle.webservices.local.optimization = false 
You may set these properties directly in composite.xml ui:wsdlLocation="http://localhost:8001/soa-infra/services/default/Child!1.0/Child.wsdl">
<interface.wsdl interface="http://xmlns.oracle.com/test/Child/Child#wsdl.interface(Child)"/>
<binding.ws port="http://xmlns.oracle.com/test/Child/Child#wsdl.endpoint(child_client_ep/Child_pt)"
location="http://localhost:8001/soa-infra/services/default/Child!1.0/child_client_ep?WSDL">
<property name="oracle.webservices.local.optimization">false</property>
<property name="oracle.webservices.httpReadTimeout" type="xs:string" many="false">10000</property>
</binding.ws>
</reference>
4. This timeout will throw a RemoteFault - so you can easily add a Catch to your BPEL code to catch this error.
5. Now deploy the composite and run it from EM page . The Web Service we are calling takes 40 seconds to complete , but we set the timeout to 10 seconds - note that the Remote Fault occurs after 10 seconds.
