Demystifying Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) by Eduardo Barra Cordeiro

image

In my previous article, I gave some input about the Oracle API Platform as a digital transformation enabler. Today I am going to walk you through another product, Oracle Integration Cloud, and try to demystify what the product is and who benefits from it. I will also provide some use cases for this platform.

Why do I need an integration system in the cloud?

In a hybrid cloud environment with applications hosted in different places (clouds and/or on premise), the integration between them can become a challenge. Especially considering security, accessibility and latency.

A cloud integration solution can be a good way to resolve that. Even better, if it is simple to use and contains multiple adapters for different targets, allowing business teams to easily implement applications themselves (for the most of the part with almost zero-coding). This is the Oracle Integration Cloud.

Which components does the OIC have?

Oracle Integration Cloud consists of three parts. Combined, they provide a set of solutions that help you design business processes, integrations, orchestrations and web/mobile applications. You can use each one independently if you prefer.

Process Builder: made to design your business processes using a friendly interface and zero coding (yes, it is not a joke… you can code if you want, or if you have any specific requirements). You can also use the platform to execute activities related to your process, like task approvals, monitoring, and reports. Read the complete article here.

Oracle Integration has the best of breed RSO (Robotic Service Orchestration) support by Nicolas Damonte

image

But before justifying it, let’s start by explaining what RSO is and the differences with RPA.

The What …

RSO (Robotic Service Orchestration) is basically managing bots in the context of a business process, just like they would manage people.

RPA (Robotic Process Automation) enables the automation of manual tasks using UI Scrapping technologies. The value proposition is using bots to perform repetitive manual tasks (like data entry) mainly on legacy systems (with no APIs).

The Difference …

RPA was designed to performs tasks, not to manage end to end services.
RSO is about end to end services, managing their full orchestration and fostering a continuous improvement lifecycle.

The Justification …

SOA Suite 12c upgrade – Composite DVMs by Martien van den Akker

image

Today I found something curious in a composite upgraded from 11g to 12c, regarding DVMs. I sometimes use DVMs in BPEL to prevent the use of complex xpath expressions with many conditions. For instance, if I need to know if a JMSType is in a certain range and if it is I need to continue, I can create a DVM that has those JVMTypes correlated to an indicator.

Now, in 12c we have a new project structure. Where in 11g, about every component is in the root of the project, in 12c those are moved to a subfolder. That is, if you would create a new project:

Folder like xsd, wsdl, xsl in 11g are renated to Schemas, WSDLs and Transformations in 12c. We decided to refactor the upgraded projects to the new structure in 12c. So our BPEL processes are moved to the BPEL subfolder. This means that when referencing a transformation (xsl) you would adapt your xslt functions as: Read the complete article here.

Moving SOA to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure by Robert Wunderlich

image

Many customers are running their workloads on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic (OCI-C), but the new Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) offers compelling benefits that customers should consider moving their workloads to the “gen 2 cloud“.  Additionally if the customer is not yet running SOA 12.2.1.3 or above, now is an ideal time to make the move.

A SOA implementation is typically large and serves mission critical requirements.  This means that a “side-by-side” migration is the best approach.  At a high-level the process is as follows:

  • Discover/map the existing OCI-C deployment.  Oracle provides a set of tools to help in migrating workloads to OCI.  You can learn more about this at Upgrade to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
  • Branch your SOA projects: SOA projects can be deployed into a new environment and they will be upgraded on the deployment.  However, a better approach is to branch your version control and upgrade the projects in JDeveloper.  You can then validate the project to catch any potential issues. Read the complete article here.

Test Remote Asynchronous Request Response services by Martien van den Akker

image

A few years ago, I described how you can test Asynchronous Request Response services.

The thing with Asynchronous Request Response services is, as I used to describe it, that they’re in essence two complementary Request-Only (Fire and Forget) services. That is, the client submits a request to the Asynchronous Request Response service, and at a certain point waits for the response by listening to an endpoint.
To make this work, the responding Asynchronous Request Response service should be told, which endpoint it should call with the response and which correlation id should be used. The WS-Addressing standard is used for that. All nicely explained in the before mentioned article.
In most customer-cases the problem is that your Client SoapUI or ReadyAPI project should catch the response, but the service is running on a SOA Suite in the datacenter and is not allowed to get to your local machine.
MobaXterm makes it very easy to create a tunnel. You can have a remote tunnel, that enables a local listening endpoint, that forwards every request to a remote service. Very handy if you have a Vagrant project with only a NAT NetworkAdapter, where Vagrant enabled a ssh endpoint on port 2222. You can easily create a Local tunnel on port 7101, for instance, to the remote ssh session on port 2222, that enables you to get to the weblogic console on the remote VM running on http://darlin-vce:7101/console. To create a tunnel, just open the MobaSSHTunnel – Grahpical port forwarding tool: Read the complete article here.
