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. 2014 All rights reserved. Slide 28 of 70
Cloud Adapter Framework Two Halves Design Time Run Time. Raastech, Inc. 2014 All rights reserved. Slide 29 of 70
Internet of Things? Internet of Things (IoT) Integration Machines talking to Machines. Raastech, Inc. 2014 All rights reserved. Slide 30 of 70
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. 2014 All rights reserved. Slide 31 of 70
. Raastech, Inc. 2014 All rights reserved. Slide 32 of 70
LDAP Adapter Provides CRUD access and polling to LDAP from SCA, OSB, and other deployed applications. Raastech, Inc. 2014 All rights reserved. Slide 33 of 70
LDAP Adapter Configurable like any other Adapter, allowing for JNDI to be used.. Raastech, Inc. 2014 All rights reserved. Slide 34 of 70
LDAP Adapter Like the Database Adapter, the wizard requires a live server for initial setup.. Raastech, Inc. 2014 All rights reserved. Slide 35 of 70
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. 2014 All rights reserved. Slide 36 of 70
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. 2014 All rights reserved. Slide 37 of 70
Maven for Dependency Management Well supported dependency management framework Use to generate projects Perform tests Integrated into JDeveloper. Raastech, Inc. 2014 All rights reserved. Slide 38 of 70

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. 2014 All rights reserved. Slide 42 of 70
Full SOAP Message in Instance Trace Namespaces and prefixes now shown in flow trace. Oracle SOA Suite 11g Oracle SOA Suite 12c Raastech, Inc. 2014 All rights reserved. Slide 43 of 70
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. 2014 All rights reserved. Slide 44 of 70
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. 2014 All rights reserved. Slide 45 of 70
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. 2014 All rights reserved. Slide 46 of 70
Templates Allow typical patterns to be easily setup and repeated. Raastech, Inc. 2014 All rights reserved. Slide 47 of 70

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 45-90 minutes for server startup. Great when requiring speedy disaster recovery. Raastech, Inc. 2014 All rights reserved. Slide 49 of 70
Enterprise Scheduler Service (ESS) ESS provides robust scheduling capabilities. Included in the Oracle SOA Suite 12c license. Raastech, Inc. 2014 All rights reserved. Slide 50 of 70
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. 2014 All rights reserved. Slide 51 of 70
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. 2014 All rights reserved. Slide 52 of 70
