Receive EMAIL using OSB ( Oracle Service BUS)

Most of the guys know, how to send a email using OSB(Oracle service bus)  when we want to send notifications in business flow. sometimes, we might need to start our  business process by receiving an email from legacy system.

Recently, I come across POC. Where, we can trigger a OSB proxy service by sending an email with messages as email body.  The below steps will explain. How to create a proxy service which can receive emails and execute.

1)   First step is to create a static service account type. It will have credentials for mailbox( mainly user name , password).

Since, I am using my own mail server. I created mailbox user with web logic as user name for testing.

2)     second step, we need to create a proxy service that can listen to mail box  and execute message flow, whenever new mail arrives.

1. Service type should be messaging service.


2. Other configuration details can be found in below screen shot.

3)     Save changes and activate session. Now open message flow or proxy service to insert report action. in report action, we will print body and we can check body in sbconsole.

Now , the service is ready and it can trigger  by sending an email.
