Oracle SOA Suite

Oracle Fusion Middleware is a collection of standards-based software product

Enterprise application integration (EAI) and other traditional middleware solutions partially
address this by enabling systems to communicate with each other, but they do not fully solve
the problem

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) helps address the fragmented IT landscape and

addresses the difficulties associated with silos of IT infrastructure and applications.

 Oracle Fusion Middleware offers complete support for development, deployment, and
management. Introduction to Oracle SOA Suite
 Oracle SOA Suite enables services to be created, managed, and orchestrated into
composite applications and business processes.
 Composites enable you to easily assemble multiple technology components into one
SOA composite application. The components of Oracle SOA Suite benefit from common capabilities, including a single
deployment, management, and tooling model, end-to-end security, and unified metadata
management. Oracle SOA Suite is unique in that it provides the following set of integrated
capabilities:

 Messaging
 Service discovery
 Orchestration
 Web services management and security
 Business rules
 SOA provides an enterprise architecture that supports building connected enterprise  Events framework
applications to provide solutions to business problems.  Business activity monitoring
 SOA facilitates the development of enterprise applications as modular business Web
services that can be easily integrated and reused, creating a truly flexible, adaptable
IT infrastructure.
 You can move and reconfigure pieces, turning your systems into the IT equivalent of
Lego blocks.

Oracle SOA Suite Standards

 In addition, several separately licensable products interoperate with Oracle SOA Suite
components. See Interoperability with Other Oracle Products for more information.

Service Infrastructure

Service components (BPEL process, business rule, human task, and mediator) are the
building blocks that you use to construct an SOA composite application.

The Service Infrastructure provides the internal message routing infrastructure capabilities
for connecting components and enabling data flow:

 Receives messages from the service providers or external

 Oracle Enterprise Manager
Oracle Mediator
The following components are included with Oracle SOA Suite, but available as a separate
download:

 Oracle Service Bus

 Oracle Complex Event Processing

Both the Oracle Service Bus and the Service Infrastructure share common components,
including Oracle Adapters, Oracle Metadata Repository, and the UDDI registry. The UDDI
registry is available with the Oracle Service Registry, which is a separately licensable
component. See Oracle Service Registry for more information.
 Comparing Oracle Mediator with Oracle Service Bus

Oracle Mediator is an intra-composite mediation component that is deployed within a

composite, keeping the composite on a canonical model.

Oracle Service Bus Its primary function is to provide the transformation of legacy formats to a common format.

It is responsible for brokering communications between components that make up a

composite, enabling transformation, routing, event delivery, and payload validation inside the
composite.

Oracle Service Bus connects, mediates, and manages interactions between heterogeneous
services, not just Web services, but also Java and .Net, messaging services and legacy
endpoints

Oracle Adapters use JCA technology to connect external systems to the Oracle SOA Suite.
Oracle Service provides the following functional areas:

 Oracle Metadata Repository
The Oracle Metadata Repository (MDS)
stores business events, rulesets for use by Oracle Business Rules,
XSLT files for Oracle Service Bus and Oracle Mediator,
XSD XML schema files for Oracle BPEL Process Manager,
WSDL files, and metadata files for Complex Event Processing.

To publishes the MDS services to the outside world, use the Oracle Enterprise Repository
provided with the Oracle SOA Governance Suite.

Oracle Business Rules,

You can raise business events when a situation of interest occurs. Business events are
messages sent as the result of an occurrence or situation, such as a new order or completion
of an order. In Oracle SOA Suite, the mediator service component subscribes or publishes
events. When an event is published, other applications can subscribe to it.

Definitions for business events, as well as other artifacts of a composite, are stored in the
Oracle Metadata Repository (MDS), and then published in the Event Delivery Network (EDN).
Oracle Business Rules, initiated by a BPEL process service component, enable dynamic
decisions at runtime allowing you to automate policies, constraints, computations, and
reasoning while separating rule logic from underlying application code. In addition, the
human task and mediator service components can make use of rules for dynamic routing. A
mediator service component can use a business rule for routing messages, and a human task
can use a business rule for routing assignments. The Oracle Metadata Repository (MDS)
stores the rulesets for Oracle Business Rules.

Oracle Business Rules provide more agile rule maintenance and empowers business analysts
with the ability to modify rule logic without programmer assistance and without interrupting
business processes.

Oracle BPEL Process Manager

Oracle BPEL Process Manager provides the standard for assembling a set of discrete services
into an end-to-end process flow, radically reducing the cost and complexity of process
integration initiatives. Oracle BPEL Process Manager enables you to orchestrate synchronous
and asynchronous services into end-to-end BPEL process flows.

You integrate BPEL processes with external services (known as partner links). You also
integrate technology adapters and services, such as human tasks, transformations,
notifications, and business rules within the process.

Oracle WSM Policy Manager

Oracle WSM Policy Manager provides the infrastructure for enforcing global security and
auditing policies in the Service Infrastructure. By securing various endpoints and setting and
propagating identity, it secures applications. Oracle WSM Policy Manager provides a standard
mechanism for signing messages, performing encryption, performing authentication, and
providing role-based access control. You also can change a policy without having to change
the endpoints or clients for this endpoints, providing greater flexibility and security
monitoring for your enterprise.

In addition, Oracle WSM Policy Manager collects monitoring statistics with information about
the quality, uptime, and security threats and displays them in a Web dashboard. As a result,
Oracle WSM Policy Manager provides better control and visibility over Web services.
Many end-to-end business processes require human interactions with the process. For
example, humans may be needed for approvals, exception management, or performing
activities required to advance the business process. The human workflow component provides
the following features:

 Human interactions with processes, including assignment and routing of tasks to the
correct users or groups
 Deadlines, escalations, notifications, and other features required for ensuring the
timely performance of a task (human task activity)
 Presentation of tasks to end users through a variety of mechanisms, including a
worklist application (Oracle BPM Worklist)
 Organization, filtering, prioritization, and other features required for end users to
productively perform their tasks
 Reports, reassignments, load balancing, and other features required by supervisors
and business owners to manage the performance of tasks

The graphic shows an overview of human workflow:

1. A BPEL process invokes a human task activity when it needs a human to perform a
task. A human task activity creates a task in the human task service component.
2. The human task service component uses workflow services to perform a variety of
operations in the life cycle of a task, such as querying tasks for a user, retrieving Oracle Business Activity Monitoring
metadata information related to a task, and so on.
3. The human task service component presents tasks to users through a variety of
channels, such as Oracle BPM Worklist, email, portals, or custom applications. Oracle
BPM Worklist, a role-based application that supports the concept of supervisors and Oracle Business Activity Monitoring (Oracle BAM) is a complete solution for building real-time
process owners, and provides functionality for finding, organizing, managing, and operational dashboards and monitoring and alerting applications over the Web. Using this
performing tasks. technology, business user gain the ability to build interactive, real-time dashboards and
proactive alerts to monitor their business services and processes. More specifically, Oracle
BAM enables business operation workers and managers to:

 Monitor business processes and services in real-time

 Analyze events as they occur by correlating events, identifying trends as they
emerge, and alerting users to bottlenecks, exceptions, and solutions to business
problems
 Act on current conditions with event-driven alerts, real-time dashboards, BPEL
processes, and Web services integration, enabling quick changes or corrective action
to business processes

The graphic depicts the Oracle Business Activity Monitoring active data architecture for
dynamically moving real-time data to end users through every step of the process. It shows
various mechanisms to feed data into Oracle BAM. Oracle BAM processes incoming data and
analyzes events. Oracle BAM Web Applications, including Active Viewer, Active Studio,
Architect, Administrator, enable users to build Oracle BAM schema, dashboards, and alerts.
BAM Data Control enables developers to create ADF pages with active data content. Oracle
BAM and its applications then provide output to users.

Oracle SOA Suite makes it easy to expose SOA events, such as BPEL processes, to the BAM
engine. Because many of the events are not SOA events, you need to consider all of the
different disparate events and how you want to correlate and aggregate that information
together and display in real-time dashboards.
 such as algorithmic trading, double-bottom detection, non-event detection, and so on.

found in bank transactions, that cannot be managed by Oracle BAM. In addition, Oracle
Complex Event Processing can perform complex correlations and pattern matching.

Oracle CEP provides the following functional areas:

 Data and Event Sources: An Oracle CEP event source identifies a producer of data
that your Oracle CQL queries operate on. Event sources include data feeds such as
wire services and stock tickers, sensors such as temperature, motion, or radio
frequency identification (RFID) detectors, and other devices. Oracle CEP provides a
variety of adapters that connect such real-world event sources to your Oracle CQL
queries. Oracle CEP adapters support the following event sources: JMS, HTTP
publisher/subscriber, and file.
 Context Creation: Oracle CEP offers a variety of sliding window operators and views
(subqueries) that allow you to define the temporal or semantic context in which
filtering, correlation and aggregation, and pattern matching takes place. Using
windows and views, you can define contexts such as events in the last 5 minutes or
events for a particular customer, and so on. Oracle CQL provides a variety of sliding
windows, including: range-based (time or constant value), tuple-based, and
partitioned. In addition, you can easily define custom window operators.
 Filtering: Using Oracle CQL, you can specify queries that select on any of the
attributes of the events offered by event sources. You use such queries to filter the
event sources to obtain events of interest. Oracle CQL provides a rich set of
operators, expressions, conditions, and statements for this purpose.
 Correlation and Aggregation: Using Oracle CQL, you can perform advanced
statistical and arithmetic operations on the attributes of the events offered by event
sources. Oracle CQL provides: single-row functions that return a single result row for
every row of a queried stream or view; aggregate functions that return a single
aggregate result based on a group of tuples, rather than on a single tuple; statistical
and advanced arithmetic operations based on the Colt open source libraries for high
performance scientific and technical computing; and statistical and advanced
arithmetic operations based on the java.lang.Math class. In addition, you can easily
define custom single-row and aggregate functions.
 Pattern Matching: Using the Oracle CQL MATCH_RECOGNIZE condition, you can
succinctly express complex pattern matching operations for a wide variety of tasks
 (translation, transformation, and outing), security, compliance, visibility, and management.

What Does Oracle B2B Provide?

Oracle B2B addresses the documents, packaging, transports, messaging services, Trading
Partner profiles, and agreements with the following features:

 Document Management: Provides multiple document standards, such as definitions,

validation, translation, identification, correlation, batching, routing, code lists, and
envelope generation.
 Trading Partner Management: Provides capabilities to manage trading partner profiles
and agreements.
 Profiles: Provides trading partners details, such as identifications, contacts, users,
delivery channels, supported documents, and security.

3. A BPEL process service component receives the purchase order, orchestrates any
required business process, and can invoke a human task, business rule, and error
handling as required.
4. A mediator service component receives the purchase order, validates, performs code
conversion, transforms the canonical to the target purchase order, and routes the
document.
5. Oracle B2B receives the purchase order, identifies the partner, identifies the
agreement, validates the purchase order, translates the purchase order to EDI,
generates the EDI envelope, generates acknowledgments, and manages the secure
exchange of the purchase order with the external trading partner.

Oracle B2B is an eCommerce gateway that enables the secure and reliable exchange of
messages between an enterprise and its trading partners. It is a binding component of the
Oracle SOA Suite and this platform enables the implementation of complete end-to-end
eCommerce business processes.

What Is eCommerce?

Electronic commerce, eCommerce, is the buying and selling of products or services

electronically and can take many forms, for example, machine-to-application, customer-to-
application, application-to-application and business-to-business (B2B). In any form,
eCommerce, is an integral component of any enterprise integration strategy and the focus
must be the business process. You must address process orchestration, error mitigation, data
  Business Rules Designer: You can create a business rules service component in the
SOA composite application of Oracle JDeveloper and then design it by using the
Business Rules Designer, which is displayed when you double-click a business rule in
the SOA Composite Editor.

Oracle JDeveloper is the development component of Oracle SOA Suite. It forms a

comprehensive Integrated Service Environment (ISE) for creating and deploying composite
applications and managing the composite.

Oracle JDeveloper enables developers to model, create, discover, assemble, orchestrate, test,
deploy, and maintain composite applications based on services.

The SOA Composite Editor enables you to create, edit, and deploy services, and also to
assemble them in a composite application, all from a single location. These components are
integrated together into one application and communicate with the outside world through
binding components such as Web services and JCA adapters. A farm is a collection of components managed by Fusion Middleware Control. It can contain

Life Cycle of an SOA Composite Application
The basic life cycle of an SOA composite application is as follows:

1. Use Oracle JDeveloper to design an SOA composite application

with various SOA components.
2. Package the composite application for deployment.
3. Deploy the SOA composite application to the SOA
Infrastructure. The SOA Infrastructure is a Java EE-compliant
application running in Oracle WebLogic Server. The application
manages composites and their life cycle, service engines, and
binding components.
4. Use Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control to
monitor and manage the composite application for a farm's
SOA infrastructure.
  Mediator

For routing events (messages) between different components.

Services

Services provide the outside world with an entry point to the SOA composite application. The
WSDL file of the service advertises its capabilities to external applications. These capabilities
are used for contacting the SOA composite application components. The binding connectivity
of the service describes the protocols that can communicate with the service, for example,
SOAP/HTTP or a JCA adapter.

References

References enable messages to be sent from the SOA composite application to external
services in the outside world.

SOA Composite Application Architecture Wires

An SOA composite is an assembly of services, service components, and references designed Wires enable you to graphically connect the following components in a single SOA composite
and deployed together in a single application. Wiring between the service, service application for message communication:
component, and reference enable message communication. The composite processes the
information described in the messages.  Services to service components
 Service components to other service components
The graphic provides an example of a composite that includes a mediator service component  Service components to reference
and a BPEL service component, an inbound service binding component, and an outbound
reference binding component.

Service Components

Service components are the building blocks of an SOA composite application. Each service
component is hosted in its own service engine container. Messages sent to the service engine
are targeted at specific service components. For example, a message targeted for a BPEL
process is sent to the BPEL service engine. Service engines process the message information
received from the .

The following service components are available. There is a corresponding service engine of
the same name for each service component. All service engines can interact together in a
single composite.

 BPEL process

For process orchestration and storage of synchronous or

asynchronous process. You design a business process that
integrates a series of business activities and services into an
end-to-end process flow.

 Business rules

For designing a business decision based on rules.

 Human task

For modeling a workflow that describes the tasks for users or

groups to perform as part of an end-to-end business process
flow.
