My private corner – The Hare of the Dog

May 9, 2015 Leave a comment

As 2015 will bring many new challenges and opportunities – all up in the clouds. In this short section “my private corner” we will inform you about personal notes. We start with a booked published by Niall – a superb middleware trainer most of you know, and had a lot fun with during his workshops

The Hare of the Dog

This book, volume one of three, chronicles the tale of a search, not just any search, but a search for suitable work for unsuitable men. Men, who, through no fault of their own, life had simply left behind, and consigned to the scrapheap of humanity. There they lay, living out their miserable days, until the divine intervened. From that day on, they were still men, however, not just any old men, but the men of Grace & Danger Ltd. God bless them all for showing us the way. God bless you too, for buying this book. This book deals with a universal theme, namely, the intrinsic value of each and every one of us. No one is useless; we are all connected, all on the one road. Where will this road take us? Nobody knows. This book may give you some hints, but, essentially, it is something, each and every one of us needs to work out, for themselves. Enjoy, laugh and maybe think! Get the book here on Amazon

SOA Suite 12c: Topology Suggestions by Jay Kasi

April 16, 2015 Leave a comment

In this article, I make some suggestions and provide opinions on topologies recommended in SOA Suite 12c.

· Typically Service Bus and SOA Suite belong in different tiers in an end to end architecture so they would be in separate domains. However if Service Bus is used primarily for mediating and providing routing for SOA Suite Composites in a domain, it could be in the same domain, but typically in separate clusters for optimum performance and scalability. However it is possible starting in 12c to have Service Bus and SOA Suite in the same cluster.

· Governance products like OER and UDDI should not be in a SOA Suite or Service Bus domain. They should be in a separate domain. OER should be in a separate domain from UDDI.

· One consideration when deciding on topologies is that Upgrade is always domain wide. All products deployed to the domain must release in the same release train and you should be willing to upgrade all of them at the same time.

· You can target multiple products to the same cluster by targeting the appropriate user extensible server group to the servers in the cluster.

1. SOA Suite is targeted to a server by targeting either the user extensible server group SOA-MGD-SVRS or SOA-MGD-SVRS-ONLY.

2. Service Bus is targeted to a server by targeting either the user extensible server group OSB-MGD-SVRS-COMBINED or OSB-MGD-SVRS-ONLY.

3. BAM is targeted to a server by targeting either the user extensible server group BAM12-MGD-SVRS or BAM12-MGD-SVRS-ONLY.

4. MFT is targeted to a server by targeting either the user extensible server group MFT-MGD-SVRS or MFT-MGD-SVRS-ONLY.

5. ESS is targeted to a server by targeting the user extensible server group ESS-MGD-SVRS. Read the complete article here
