•Oracle Builds bigger and better but…

•New ERP’s, SCM’s and CRMS come into market.
•Raise of new star “SUN SYSTEMS”

•Introduction to WORLD of JAVA

Enterprise Architecture Integration(EAI)

What is EAI ?
 Allows flow of information between different business and IT
systems.
 Interoperability of data exchanges between systems

 Works well with in Enterprise exposed over internet.

 Extends to connect external sytems.

 Mainly uses HUB model.

What is SOA?
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)

• A “Service Oriented Architecture” provides an integration framework which

support sharing of business functions as re-useable processes.

• Oracle SOA transforms complex application integration into agile and reusable
service-based connectivity by mediating, routing, and managing interactions
between services and applications.

• A service is the composition of software interactions that provide meaningful

value to the business.

• A method of design, deployment, and management of both applications and the

software infrastructure where:
• All software is organized into business services that are network accessible
and executable.
• Service interfaces are based on public standards for interoperability.

Webservices

• Web Service is a method of communication between two electronic devices over

the internet(Web).
• Web service is a program that can be written in any language. The functionality
of this program is described in a standard XML based language know as Web
service Description Language(WSDL).
• It has a receiver and sender of SOAP messages.
• SOAP is a platform neutral XML based protocol
• Web Service send SOAP message that are then used by the applications.
• Key Characteristics of web service is loosely coupled.
• For Example: A Banking web service may implement functions to check an
account balance, funds transfer ..etc.These functions are defined in a WSDL file
that a customer can invoke to access the banking webservice.A webservice
consumer will invoke a webservice by submitting a request in the form of a XML
based webservice provider.The webservice provider will process the request
and the results will be sent back to the webservice consumer in the form of a
XML document.

Oracle BPEL

•Oracle BPEL(Business Process Execution Language)

•Markup language for composing a set of discrete services into an end-to-end process
flow

•Platform Independent and XML Based Language

•It is a orchestration language for specifying actions within Business Processes with
Web services.

•It support for standards such as BPEL, XML, XSLT, XPATH, JMS, JCA and Web
Services.

•It is an ideal solution for creating integrated business processes that are truly portable
across platforms.

17
Types of BPEL Process

•Synchronous BPEL Process

•A Synchronous BPEL Process is one which you call and wait for the reply before
proceeding further.
•This is used in real time processing of services.
•You call a friend and ask him to give you some information. While your friend is
finding out the information for you, you are on the call waiting for his response.
Note that connection is not dropped

•Asynchronous BPEL Process

•Asynchronous Process is one which you call and need not wait for the response
before proceeding further.
•You may just initiate the Asynchronous process and receive the response when
you require it as a part of your process, hence you are not forced to wait for
response.
•You call a friend and ask him to give you some information. You ask him to call you
back when the information is ready and you disconnect the call. When your friend is
ready with the information, he calls you and gives you the information. Note that
you don’t wait for a response from your friend and connection is lost. When your
friend is ready, he has to establish a new connection and then provide you the
information

Adapters in Oracle SOA

Adapters Use

Database Adapter Database Adapter is used as a partner link in BPEL which is used
to interact with Database for read, write operations
File Adapter File Adapter is used to read or write into the file in BPEL

JMS Adapter JMS Adapter is used to interact with the end systems using JMS
Queue.
MQ Adapter MQ Adapter is used to send or receive message from IBM
Websphere MQ Queue.
Oracle Applications Oracle Applications Adapter is used to integrate oracle SOA with
oracle Applications
Web service Any Application can be invoked as a Web service using Web
service Adapter in BPEL

Mediator

Oracle Mediator performs the function of load balancing and routes the data from service
provider to the external parties
It subscribes and publish business events
Oracle Mediator performs the following functions:
• Route: Determines the service component (BPEL process, business rule, human task,
and mediator) to which to send the messages.
• Validate: Provides support for validating the incoming message payload by using a
schematron or an XSD file.
• Filter: If specified in the rules, applies a filter expression that specifies the contents
(payload) of a message be analyzed before any service is invoked.
• Transformation: If specified in the rules, transforms document data from one XML
schema to another, thus enabling data interchange among applications using different
schemas.

24
Weblogic Server

•SOA Suite 12c runs on WebLogic Server 12c.

•Apart from SOA Suite:
•OSB,B2B,BAM,WSM,AIA runs on Weblogic Server
•Several web applications are included for configuring and monitoring FMW 12c runtime
operations.
•Oracle Weblogic server provides extensive support for clustering and server
management.
•It uses a standard approach for deployment and monitoring.
•It supports following functions
• Security
• Messaging
• Caching
• Load Balancing
• Scripting
•It uses a standard Approach for migration using WLST/python scripts

25
Security in Oracle SOA

• Security is implemented in Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g based on the type of

the Webservice

•Oracle Web Services Manager (OWSM) Policy- for SOA, ADF and Web
Center Services
•Oracle Web Logic Web Service Policy- for Web Logic Web Services

•Depending on kind of Web services (mentioned above), administrators can protect

web services using
•Fusion Middleware Control (/em) – “SOA, ADF and Web Center Services” or
“Web Logic Web service”
• Web Logic Scripting Tool (WLST) – “SOA, ADF and Web Center Services”
•Oracle Web Logic Console (/console) – “Web Logic Web Service”

The Features of Web service Security are as follows:

•Authentication
•Authorization (or Access Control)
•Confidentiality, Privacy
•Integrity, Non repudiation
26
Security in Oracle SOA-OWSM

• Oracle Web Services Manager (OWSM) is component of Oracle SOA Suite.

• Oracle WSM, the policies are being executed in the policy enforcement points that
are categorized into gateways and agents
• Role of OWSM (Oracle Web Services Manager)
• At Client Side – OWSM intercepts SOAP message request to service and
Injects relevant tokens
Signs Encrypt message- –
• At Server side – OWSM intercepts SOAP message request to service and
Extracts relevant tokens
Verifies client’s credentials against Identity Management Solution or Web
Logic’s default LDAP server.
• The Following list provides examples of specific tasks that you can perform
using OWSM:
•Handle WS-Security
•Define Authentication and Authorization
•Generate Standard Security tokens to propagate identities across multiple web
services used in a single transaction
•Segment Policies into different namespaces by creating policies within different
folders
•Examine Log files.

27
Fault Handling in Oracle SOA

Types of Faults
•Business Faults
•Runtime Faults
Some examples of Runtime Faults (exceptions) are:
Remote Faults: Occurs when the service that the BPEL process tries to invoke
cannot be reached, e.g. in case of a network or server failure. Remote Faults an
be retried.

Binding Faults: Indicates a mismatch between service provider and service

consumer.
