SOA Suite Handbook preview by Lucas Jellema

 

clip_image002Part I – “Setting the Stage” – introduces the case of Saibot Airport and the business and IT challenges it faces. The path the airport has laid down for itself in order to create its future and the IT architecture and technology it has selected is discussed along with the core concepts that make up Service-Oriented Architecture. The history of Oracle Fusion Middleware is described as well as its current status. The focus then moves to a detailed overview of SOA Suite 12c, its main constituents and closely associated products such as Managed File Transfer, API Catalog, API Manager, B2B and Healthcare. This part concludes with a very quick start-up instruction which includes the installation of SOA Suite 12c development environment, ready for the creation and deployment of the HelloWorld equivalent in SOA applications.

Chapter 1 – Saibot Airport reaching for the Future

This chapter introduces Saibot Airport as an organization with a vision and a business strategy, and one that depends heavily on IT to fulfill the strategy. The IT department itself is confronted by changing industry trends, new technology and an evolution in the way it organizes its processes. From all of these, architecture consequences are derived. And finally, technology products have to be selected to start the realization of the information and application architecture designed to enable the IT and business objectives.

SOA Suite 12c – What You Need to Know by Matt Brasier

clip_image002

Complete webinar series now available to watch on-demand!

Oracle SOA Suite 12c has changed many of the components of SOA Suite and introduced some completely new ones. This webinar, delivered by the Oracle SOA Suite expert Matt Brasier, will take a look at Oracle SOA Suite 12c, focussing on the new and changed features and which of these really matter for a new or existing SOA infrastructure.

The pace of new business projects continues to grow; from increasing customer self-service to seamlessly connecting all your back office and in-the-field applications. At the same time, there is an urgency to mobile-enable existing applications, integrate with the cloud and begin development on the latest trend of connecting Internet of Things (IoT) devices to your existing infrastructure. When companies address each of these new integration challenges independently, using a patchwork of niche specialty integration toolsets, the original goals of faster business integration, increased application infrastructure flexibility, and reduced costs are no longer achievable.

This is why Oracle SOA Suite 12c was developed – to simplify IT by unifying the disparate requirements of mobile, cloud, and IoT integration into one unified and standards-based platform.

Oracle SOA Suite 12c enables you to:

Eine für alles: Cloud Integration statt Anwendungs-Chaos

OpitzDie IT eines Unternehmens wächst mit dessen Bedürfnissen, nicht nach einem Masterplan. Klar, dass dann irgendwann jeder Unternehmensbereich mit eigenen, speziellen Anwendungen arbeitet – von lokalen Business-Applikationen bis zur SaaS-Lösung in der Cloud. Probleme entstehen dann, wenn der Austausch zwischen all den Systemen nicht reibungslos läuft: das kostet unnötig Zeit, Nerven und Geld.

Viele Firmen nutzen bereits Integrationsplattformen als Schnittstellen zwischen einzelnen Systemen. Aber kann eine solche verzweigte Integrationslandschaft in Sachen Datenvolumen und Dynamik mit den neusten Entwicklungen mithalten?

Wie Sie sich den Überblick zurückholen, ihre Prozesse optimieren und bei der Integration wieder auf eigenen Beinen stehen können – darüber informiert Opitz Consulting ganz aktuell unter http://www.auf-eigenen-beinen.de. Neben einem Überblick zu möglichen cloud-basierten Integrationslösungen, zum Beispiel zur Oracle SOA-Suite, haben Sie dort auch die Möglichkeit, einen individuellen Beratungstermin mit den Integrations-Experten von Opitz zu vereinbaren. Ein kleiner Schritt für Ihre IT-Fachleute – vielleicht aber ein großer für Ihr Unternehmen!

Stream Explorer – configuring REST target By Jernej Kaše

 

clip_image002I’ve blogged about how to consume REST with Oracle Stream Explorer in previous posts Exploring data streams with Oracle Stream Explorer – part 1 and Exploring data streams with Oracle Stream Explorer – part 2.

This time we are going to take a look how to configure stream explorer to send events to a REST service.

We’ll start by creating an exploration which summarizes tweets per minute per each of the keywords we have: Configuring a REST target

Configuring a target is as simple as a few clicks. Just click the "Configure a target" button, select REST from the dropdown and enter your REST service url. Note that building the service is not in the scope of this blog, suffice to say it should expect parameters which your exploration emits. Read the complete article here.

Stream Explorer and JMS for both inbound and outbound interaction by Lucas Jellema

 

clip_image002In this article, we will look at the very common interaction between Stream Explorer and JMS. JMS is a commonly used channel for decoupled exchange of messages or events. Stream Explorer can both consume messages from a JMS destination (through Stream) and publish findings to a JMS destination (with a target). The use case we discuss here is about temperature sensors: small devices distributed over a building, measuring the local room temperature every few seconds and reporting it over JMS. The Stream Explorer application has to look out for rooms with quickly increasing temperatures and report those over a second JMS queue. Note: this article describes the Java (SE) code used for generating temperature signals. This class generates temperature values (in Celsius!) for a number of rooms, and publishes these to the queue temperatureMeasurements. At some random point, the class will start a fire in a randomly selected room. In this room, temperatures will soon be over 100 degrees. Also in this article is Java class HotRoomAlertProcessor  that consumes messages from a second JMS Queue. Any message received on that queue is reported to the console.

Our objective in this article is to read the temperature measurements from the JMS Queue into a Stream Explorer application, calculate the average value per room and then detect the room on fire. This hot room should then be reported to the JMS Queue.

Open Stream Explorer and from the Stream Explorer Catalog page, create a new item of type Stream. Select JMS as the source type. Read the whole article here.
