SOA Suite 12c Masterclass – December 19th 2014 by Amis

December 3, 2014 1 Comment

clip_image001

SOA Suite 12c (June 2014) was a major release for Oracle’s flagship integration product. This release introduces new functionality, higher developer productivity, more robust run-time scalability and performance. 12c brings together development and administration of Service Bus and SOA composite applications, it ships new technology adapters as well as a SDK to develop custom adapters and provides across the stack support for REST-style services and JSON-format messages. New facilities were added to the stack, like Managed File Transfer and Enterprise Scheduling Services, and others better integrated, such as Oracle Event Processing and Business Activity Monitoring.

This masterclass, based on over a year’s beta program participation and extensive research and experimentation, deals with many of the essential topics for SOA Suite 12c. In one day, presenters Robert van Mölken and Lucas Jellema will discuss how SOA Suite 12c will change and enhance the way SOA projects develop services. They will show many live demonstrations of the tools in action – providing you concrete insight in new and improved features. At the end of this masterclass, attendees will know how SOA Suite 12c can benefit their organizations and how they can get started with building skills, migrating applications and using this new release properly.

Throughout the day, participants and presenters have enough opportunity to discuss real world experience and brainstorm on how to best make use of SOA Suite 12c in their organizations.

All demo code and slides will be made available. Participants will also receive a voucher for the Oracle SOA Suite 12c Handbook by Lucas Jellema (Oracle Press, Spring 2015).

Audience

This masterclass is aimed at developers, solution architects and administrators with SOA Suite 11g experience.

Best Practices for SOA Suite 11g to 12c Upgrade By Jay Kasi

December 3, 2014 Leave a comment

clip_image002A lot of effort has been put in by Oracle to make this major upgrade as smooth and easy as possible. The basic approach is to install SOA Suite 12c in a new oracle home and upgrade the domain and schemas in place. Customers undertaking the upgrade are primarily interested in a smooth upgrade, minimizing the number of manual steps in the upgrade, reduce the down time to a minimum, and minimize or eliminate any changes to client apps that use SOA APIs or web interfaces.

The key to a successful and smooth upgrade experience are the preupgrade preparations that you perform. The upgrade must be planned carefully. If the preupgrade preparations are not performed, there is a possibility that upgrade will fail in the middle or the system does not behave properly post upgrade. The only recourse to a failed production system upgrade is to roll it back from a full backup.

If your SOA domain includes BAM, then the upgrade is more complex because BAM does not support inplace upgrade. Please read the documentation carefully. The basic idea is to migrate the whole BAM deployment to a seperate domain using export/import, remove BAM from the soa domain during upgrade, and upgrade your soa domain to interop with the bam 11g domain. Later slowly and carefully migrate to BAM 12c from BAM 11g.

There are six top steps that should be performed before upgrade of your production system as a best practice.

  • Carefully review the prerequisites for upgrade in the documentation. Some of the prerequisites are checked upfront before we upgrade the schema in Upgrade Assistant but not all. Read all relevant upgrade documentation before starting on upgrade. Some of the key prerequisites are:

· Can only upgrade a domain that is 11.1.1.6 or 11.1.1.7. Migrate to a supported starting point before upgrade.

· Can only upgrade a deployment using a 64 bit JVM. Migrate to 64 bit JVM before upgrade.

· Can only upgrade a production domain not using XE DB and is not an admin server only domain.

· Can only upgrade a domain using LDAP or DB OPSS policy store. Migrate file based policy store to DB or LDAP based policy store before upgrade. Read the complete article here.

Community Powers Oracle by Debra Lilley, ACE Director

November 28, 2014 Leave a comment

5Red_CX_Boxes2.pngOnce you have decided on your initiative to drive value from Oracle Applications using Oracle Fusion middleware you need to think about the skills you need. Are you going to use a Systems Integrator, in house capability, or increasingly some form of cloud offering? Whichever you decide on you will still have a learning curve which is where I believe community is the answer. Not all learning has to be formal classroom led, look at the skills needed and select the formal training for the base skills, but for the areas you need an understanding of, and these won’t even be all be technical and then to learn more about the formal skills, I recommend community learning.
The Oracle Community is an enormous wealth of groups all offering their members a different angle on learning, through education, through sharing and through asking questions.
This blog, has the strapline, ‘Inside Oracle’s Middleware Community’ and is the sharing of knowledge from a wide range of contributors.
Oracle itself has Oracle Technology Network (OTN) which is a phenomenal resource. It is ‘the world’s largest community of developers, admins, and architects using industry-standard technologies in combination with Oracle its articles, blogs and forums cover most of the technology’. Check out this infographic to appreciate the impact OTN has on the community. Read the complete article here
