SOA Suite

Capabilities of SOA Suite Services Processes Security Virtualization Orchestration Message Level Service Level Agreement Transactional/compensation Encryption Message routing BPEL,BPM Field Level Encryption Message Transformation Business Rules Basic Auth Message Encryption System Integration SAML Identity Management Management and Monitoring 100 % Standard Development Unified Management Assets and Impacts Analysis Reuse and ROI Metrics Architectural Standards and enforcement Reporting and Dashboard WS-* WSDL XML/XPATH/XQuery/XSLT Service Component Architecture UDDI JAVA SCA Standard Assembly BPEL,BPM,BPMN HTML/XML/WSDL Unit Test Deployment Integration Event Oriented Service Component JCA Adapters Complex Event Architecture (Deployment) Web Services Recognition Applications HTTP/HTML Complex event Query Servers ERP Language Custom Declarative Streaming

EBS-SOA Integration Why? It facilities to assemble and orchestrate discrete services into meaningful business processes. SOA Suite can be used with the Oracle Financials to integrate Web services with all of the Oracle R12 EBS modules via the use of custom interfaces. Human Workflow Integration with Ebusiness Process Orchestration Monitor all your transaction through real time dashboards. Integrate your EBS with multiple technologies like portal,.net, BPEL, CRM, Legacy etc.

EBS-SOA Integration Using File Adapter SOA Suite reads/write a file from a location using file adapter or ftp adapter. The file can be a plain text file or a xml file. For reading plain files use the native opaque schema in SOA Suite, for xml file use the xsd schema. Process the file in SOA Suite and take appropriate actions Use the concurrent program or util package to create a file on unix server. Use SQL loader to read a file from SOA Suite. Define what module or how EBS will write a file to a location. Or can it poll and read from a file location

EBS-SOA Integration Using File Adapter

EBS-SOA Integration Using File Adapter Use Cases Sending ACH payments to BOFA. Sending CHQ payments to third party. Files are read in XML format and the data is formatted in SOA suite and sent to BOFA and Third Party systems. Data comes from Veramark system, invoices and data is loaded into AP interface table.

SOA Suite Settings for File/FTP Adapter Create the File/FTP Adapters in JDeveloper. Use Native format builder for Text Files. Option to use Native format translation where transformation is not required.

EBS-SOA Integration Using Database Adapter

EBS-SOA Integration Using Database Adapter SOA Suite reads/polls a EBS database or a staging database. EBS writes the changes to a database. SOA Suite uses database adapter for reading/ polling/writing to a database. The records are read in SOA Suite and data ca be processed in any system like BPEL,OSB. In EBS use dblinks and stored procedures to read data or write data.

EBS-SOA Integration Using Database Adapter Use Cases M3 inventory system contains requisitions, POs data. These data are read in SOA Suite formatted and converted to a canonical data type and loaded in a staging table. EBS reads data from staging table and loads it into its PO interface table

EBS-SOA Integration Using Oracle Application Adapter

EBS-SOA Integration Oracle Application Adapter- Overview Oracle Applications enables us to orchestrate discrete data into a meaningful business process. Creates Web services for various interface types within Oracle E-Business Suite. It plays the role of service provider for Oracle E- Business Suite. Allow seamless integration between business partners, processes, applications, and end users in heterogeneous environment. Adapter for Oracle Applications is based on JCA 1.5 standards. It is deployed as a resource adapter within the Oracle WebLogic Server container.

EBS Adapter to SOA Mapping EBS Integration Repository acts a Service broker which describes the location of the services. EBS adapter acts as Service provider. It implements the service definition which is consumed by the service client.

EBS Adapter Solution Overview

Integration Repository Integration Repository is the collection of all pubic integrated. It provides a complete catalog of Oracle E-Business Suite's Business Service interfaces.

EBS Adapter Configuration Step #1 SOA Suite requires a connection at Design time to EBS. Create a Connection to EBS from Oracle JDeveloper Provide the details and test the connection. Create a new SOA project in JDeveloper.

EBS Adapter Configuration Step #2 Create empty project with a composite. Drag and drop a Oracle Application Adapter from the pane onto the composite.

EBS Adapter Configuration Step #3 EBS Adapter Wizard Configuration Opens up. Give a name and browse to the database connection created in Step 1.

EBS Adapter Configuration Step #4 Connect to live APPS Database for Integration Content. Opens the Application Browser Module for the services.

EBS Adapter Configuration Step #5 Search and browse for the integration interface from the application module browser. A wrapper package is created in JDeveloper. The inbound interfaces are created as external references and outbound interfaces are created as exposed services.

EBS Adapter Configuration Step #6 EBS Adapter Service Created. The required artifacts xml schemas, jca files etc. are also created in the project.

EBS Adapter Configuration Step #7 Create a BPEL Process and use invoke nodes to call the EBS adapter. You can call multiple adapters and create a global transaction. Add monitors to publish report to BAM reports for real time reporting. BPEL Process Composite.xml

Monitor EBS Adapter from EM console Monitor the statistics from Enterprise Manager console for the EBS Adapter. Set properties for the adapter View Faults and attach policies.

EBS Suite Adapter Life Cycle Lifecycle of EBS Suite Adapter. Develop in JDeveloper Adapter Framework to Integrate Use the component in SOA products like BAM,BPEL- OSB Manage/Monitor the adapter from Enterprise Manager

EBS Suite Adapter Summary Multiple Oracle EBS versions supported Leverages Integration Repository Supports all Integration Interface types PL/SQL APIs, Business Events, Open Interface Tables. It generates adapter metadata as WSDL files with JCA extension. Secured and Trusted Connection using just the FND User name and password for authentication. Customization Support Uses a JDeveloper based design-time tool for dynamically browsing the Oracle Applications interfaces and configuring the adapter metadata. Transaction Support by using the two phase commit.

EBS-SOA Integration Integrated SOA Gateway

Integrated SOA Gateway Architecture Service Provider- Exposes the services a web services. Service Invocation Framework- Acts a service consumer. Integration Repository. SOA Monitoring capability

Integration Repository - Catalogue of EBS Interfaces for Integration Search and browse interface, Standardized Documentation, seeded + custom interface

Service Provider - Generate Service Search and browse interface. Click on Generate WSDL.

Service Provider - Deploy Service Enable the new service by clicking on the deploy button.

Service Provider - Grant Service Grant the service to a particular user on the webservice.

Service Provider - View WSDL View the WSDL by clicking on the link and copy the WSDL endpoint which will be used in JDeveloper.

Create Webservice Adapter in JDEV Drag a web service adapter onto the external references pane in JDeveloper. Specify the WSDL url in the webservice adapter.

Use the Webservice Adapters in BPEL Process Orchestrate the webservice adapters in BPEL. Runtime use invoke nodes to call Webservice Adapters.

Service Provider Summary and Features It exposes the interfaces as Web-Services. EBS has a simple UI based action to generate and deploy the Webservice. Supports both synchronous and asynchronous services. Supports security by means of Username Token and SAML. Use the Webservice to create Web Service Adapters in JDeveloper. For Orchestration use BPEL Process.

Service Invocation Framework Invoke and Consume Services in EBS To invoke all webservices Integrated SOA Gateway uses service invocation framework (SIF). EBS interacts with Web services through WSDL instead of working directly with SOAP APIs.

Service Invocation from PLS/SQL Application raises a business event using PL/SQL API WF_EVENT.Raise. Oracle Workflow Business Event System (BES) identifies that the event has a subscription with Java Rule Function oracle.apps.fnd.wf.bes.webserviceinvokersubscription. The Business Event System enqueues the event message to WF_JAVA_DEFERRED queue. If callback event and agent parameters are mentioned, the Web service response is communicated back.

Service Invocation from JAVA Java Application raises a business event using Java method oracle.apps.fnd.wf.bes.businessevent.raise either from OA Framework page controller Since the event is raised in Java where the subscription's seeded Java Rule Function oracle.apps.fnd.wf.bes.webserviceinvokersubscription is accessible. If the invoker subscription is created with Phase >= 100, the event is enqueued to WF_JAVA_DEFERRED queue. If the invoker subscription is created with Phase < 100, the event is dispatched inline. If the event is raised from OA Framework page, the dispatch logic executes (that uses WSIF to invoke the Web service) within OACORE OC4J container.

SIF Create Invoker Event

Create Invoker Subscription 1

Create Invoker Subscription 2

Service Invocation Framework Features Supports Synchronous MEP Request Response & One-way/Notification Only Ability to perform XSLT based transformation Outbound & Inbound messages Supports WS Security Username Token-based Web Service authentication. Supports passing values for any SOAP header part To embed application context into SOAP envelopes
