15 Oracle SOA Suite 12c Many improvements over 11g. A unified toolset for the development of services and composite applications. A standards-based platform that is service enabled and easily consumable by modern web applications Allow enterprises to quickly and easily adapt to changes in their business and IT environments. Greater visibility, controls, and analytics to govern how services and processes are deployed, reused and changed across their entire lifecycle. Helps mobile-enable existing applications. Integrates with the cloud. Begin development on the latest trend of connecting Internet of Things (IoT) devices to existing infrastructure Raastech, Inc All rights reserved. Slide 15 of 70

16 Supported Features & Capabilities Services Virtualization Service level agreements Message routing Message transformation Message encryption Management & Monitoring Unified management Assets & Impact Analysis Reuse and ROI metrics Architectural standards & enforcement Reporting & Dashboards Deployment Service Component Architecture (SCA) Applications Servers Processes Orchestration Transactional / Compensating BPEL, BPMN Business Rules and Human workflow System integration 100% Standard WS-* WSDL / SOAP / UDDI / REST XML /XPath / XQuery / XSLT Service Component Architecture WSI-BP Integration JCA Adapters Web Services and HTTP/HTML ERP Custom Security Message level encryption Field level encryption Basic Auth and SAML Fine grained authorization Identity management Development Java SCA Standard assembly BPEL, BPMN HTML / XML / WSDL Maven / Ant / Continuous Integration Event Oriented Complex event recognition Complex event query language (CQL) Declarative Streaming Raastech, Inc All rights reserved.

19 SOA Integration Can develop using BPEL, Mediator, and/or OSB, to easily perform abstraction, transformation, routing, and orchestration. <Employee> <First>John</First> <Last>Doe</Last> <DOB>12/31/1970</DOB> <Country>U.S.A.</Country> </Employee> <Person> <Name>John Doe</Name> <Bday> </BDay> <Country>US</Country> </Person> Raastech, Inc All rights reserved.

23 Expected and Supported Capabilities Monitoring BAM and Sensors Tracing Transactions Instance Flows Administration Message Recovery Design Patterns Synchronous, Asynchronous, Human Workflow, etc.. Raastech, Inc All rights reserved. Slide 23 of 70

26 Mobile Integration Improved wizards and adapters allows for easier REST integration. Can easily expose any reference or service as REST. Automated conversion from XML to JSON. Raastech, Inc All rights reserved. Slide 26 of 70

27 Cloud Integration New adapters to allow interacting with external parties easily. Example: Merge divided data into complete data sets. Example: Convert XML to SOSL/SOQL. Raastech, Inc All rights reserved. Slide 27 of 70

28 Cloud Adapter Framework Hard to find good information on it. So far it s mostly marketing. Did find the JARs on the installation, and no real information on how to use them.. Raastech, Inc All rights reserved. Slide 28 of 70

31 Oracle Event Processing (OEP) Old product CEP (Complex Event Processing) Comes with SOA Suite for Oracle Fusion Middleware, but restricted from use on Weblogic Server Basic. Development now merged into JDeveloper. Bug fixes, not much else?. Raastech, Inc All rights reserved. Slide 31 of 70

36 Coherence Adapter Coherence is a product that supports in-memory distributed caching. To be used with data that is not frequently updated. Will not require backend until it has expired. Internal tests show 15% query improvement. Raastech, Inc All rights reserved. Slide 36 of 70

37 Single JDeveloper Design Time for OSB and SCA No longer need Eclipse (for OSB development) and JDeveloper (for everything else). A single platform for development is supported with Oracle JDeveloper 12c. Raastech, Inc All rights reserved. Slide 37 of 70

42 ECID Spans OSB ECID = Execution Context ID Single unique identifier allows for easier tracing of transactions across systems. In SOA Suite 11g, ECIDs are only created by SOA Suite. In SOA Suite 12c, both OSB and SCA can create ECIDs. Raastech, Inc All rights reserved. Slide 42 of 70

44 Simplified Upgrade from 11g Code upgrade from 10g to 11g was extremely painful: Change from app server (Oracle Application Server 10g to Oracle WebLogic Server 11g). Considerable code upgrade and changes required. New in 12c: In-place upgrade. No code or configuration changes needed. But can t upgrade from 10g directly. Raastech, Inc All rights reserved. Slide 44 of 70

45 MDS Support in OSB No longer need to have duplicate schemas within OSB projects. Can now leverage shared artifacts. Local Schema Reference: <schema import="xsd/customer.xsd"> MDS Schema Reference <schema import="oramds:/apps/schemas/customer/customer.xsd"> Raastech, Inc All rights reserved. Slide 45 of 70

46 BPEL Subprocesses A BPEL subprocess enforces best practices and reduces development time by eliminating the need to re-create the same activities over and over again. BPEL subprocesses improve performance by taking up less memory at runtime (created in memory only once, regardless of number of invocations). Raastech, Inc All rights reserved. Slide 46 of 70

49 Lazy Loading Improves startup times. Composites are loaded minimally. Initialization loaded at first-request time. Can be configured at the composite and/or domain level. Advantages: No longer need to wait minutes for server startup. Great when requiring speedy disaster recovery. Raastech, Inc All rights reserved. Slide 49 of 70

51 Managed File Transfer (MFT) Allow for the transfer of large files. Can be used to send files across sftp, FTP, etc. Can be hooked into SOA Suite directly using MFT Adapter. Neat considerations such as linkage to files. Separately licensed. Raastech, Inc All rights reserved. Slide 51 of 70

52 Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) Improved over 11g. IE is no longer required. BAM now supports active-active HA. Like 11g, included as part of the Oracle SOA Suite 12c license. Raastech, Inc All rights reserved. Slide 52 of 70

54 Where have they succeeded?. JDeveloper 12c improvements. Weblogic Server 12c improvements. Enterprise Manager (EM) Fusion Middleware Control improvements. Not a re-architected product. Existing 11g knowledge still valuable. Configuration and tuning settings. Coding and best practices. Continued improvement among existing 11g functionality. Cloud Adapters handle varying challenges and restrictions imposed by the different cloud providers. Mobile/REST/JSON support is a huge plus. Raastech, Inc All rights reserved. Slide 54 of 70

59 Success In WebLogic Server 12c Allows for Auto-Commit Means don t need to lock and commit every time a change is made. Continuous Recording Allows chains of commands including ones during an autocommit to be recorded.. Raastech, Inc All rights reserved. Slide 59 of 70

62 Where have they failed? JDeveloper 12c issues. Enterprise Manager (EM) Fusion Middleware Control issues. Cloud integration are simply just adapters. What s the big deal? Too many Oracle SOA products.. Raastech, Inc All rights reserved. Slide 62 of 70

64 Failures in JDeveloper 12c Indirect flow for downloading JDeveloper 12c. Requiring download server component. Stability Issues (12.1.3) Still crashes easily when files don t validate correctly Creating Tests Doesn t validate some fields Wizard for Building. Raastech, Inc All rights reserved. Slide 64 of 70

66 Overwhelming Products Too many products, too many consoles. OSB Console WebLogic Console BAM Composer MFT Console B2B UI SOA Composer BPM Worklist EM Console Raastech, Inc All rights reserved. Slide 66 of 70

68 Conclusion Oracle SOA Suite 12c is: The single product of choice for your integration needs A major improvement over 11g A solid, complete, and robust product Highly recommended for your SOA implementations Would like to see: Improved unification of consoles, development, and runtime.
