How to Avoid the Perils of Patchwork Cloud Integration

February 3, 2014 Leave a comment

Alignment between IT and business has hovered near the top of “Top CIO Priorities” surveys for years – but this elusive goal can be difficult to attain. The accelerating pace of business change and the exploding rate of technology innovation only make matters worse, as does the fact that business strategies and goals vary by functional perspectives, making IT-business alignment a multivariable equation.
Lines of business (marketing, sales, etc.) are increasingly bypassing IT to strike independent deals with cloud application providers, eventually forcing IT to integrate outside of IT best practices, resulting in a disparate, patchwork integration. These ad hoc architectures become more complex, more costly, and less agile than well-planned architectures with continual collaboration between IT and business.
“A successful cloud integration strategy requires executive sponsorship of IT involvement in all cloud application purchases. Furthermore, cloud integration goes well beyond simple point-to-point connectivity,” says Oracle Senior Principal Product Marketing Director Bruce Tierney. “To solve this issue, you need to enable a diverse set of connectivity options to a common platform that can seamlessly bridge dissimilar technologies in a consistent way when moving between the on-premises world and cloud environments.”
Oracle’s SOA-based integration platform, Oracle Service-Oriented Architecture, provides a comprehensive and flexible platform that allows companies to avoid a complex array of disparate integration tools and standards and is fundamental to Oracle’s cloud integration solution. Tierney says that one of the most efficient ways to create a cloud integration strategy is through Oracle AppAdvantage, a program that helps Oracle enterprise applications customers use Oracle Fusion Middleware to integrate, extend, configure, and secure their investments across all applications.
For example, when it comes to cloud integration, Oracle AppAdvantage guides companies through the process of moving business processes that are unique to individual lines of business or that frequently change out of core enterprise applications and onto a middleware layer that leverages open, standards-based integration and cross-application business process management. “It helps customers manage the scale of integration across on-premises and cloud applications, helping companies build agile, responsive business applications,” Tierney says.
Dive deeper into the details of IT-business alignment. Read the new white paper, “IT-Business Alignment: Why We Stumble and the Path Forward.”
Download the Oracle AppAdvantage customer booklet to learn how organizations like yours are leveraging Oracle AppAdvantage today – and schedule an Oracle AppAdvantage assessment.

Integrating Custom BPM Worklist into WebCenter Portal (Same Domain for BPM and WebCenter) by Red Samurai

February 1, 2014 Leave a comment

I would like to share sample application configured to run custom BPM Worklist and steps describing how to configure and access it from the WebCenter Portal. This post will be based on two other posts from my blog, I would recommend to go through them first. The one where is described how to extend WebCenter Portal 11.1.1.8 – Extending WebCenter Portal 11.1.1.8 Made Easy. Other one about deploying custom ADF shared libraries – Deploying ADF Applications as Shared Libraries on WLS. For this post, I assume BPM and WebCenter environment is running on the same domain. There is one more – custom BPM Worklist access implementation through BPM Java API – ADF 11g PS5 Application with Customized BPM Worklist Task Flow (MDS Seeded Customization).
BPM and WebCenter Portal runs on the same domain – each of different WebLogic Managed Server. With such configuration, setup is quite straightforward, comparing to having separate domains: Read the complete article here.

Poster: Adaptive Case Management (ACM) in Practice

January 29, 2014 Leave a comment

Knowledge-driven processes are typically unpredictable in their execution. Experts working on them decide what the next best action to take is. This is in contrast to traditional BPM, in which all possible paths of a process are predetermined and modeled into the process. Case management is a way to control and implement these unstructured processes. With the poster below we’d like to bring some of the key aspects of Adaptive Case Management (ACM) on one page. Special thanks to Danilo Schmiedel

Please feel free to download the PDF-version if you are interested in (login required):

Why should I use ACM?
How can ACM user interfaces look like?

Manual Recovery Mechanisms in SOA Suite and AIA by Shreenidhi Raghuram

January 28, 2014 Leave a comment

Introduction

Integration flows can fail at run-time with a variety of errors. The cause of these failures could be either Business errors or System errors.

When Synchronous Integration Flows fail, they are restarted from the beginning. On the other hand, Asynchronous Integration flows when they error can potentially be resubmitted/recovered from designated/pre-configured milestones within the flow. These milestones could be persistence points like queues topics or database tables, where the state of the flow was last persisted. Recovery is a mechanism whereby a faulted Asynchronous Flow can be rerun from such a persistence milestone.

The SOA Suite 11g and AIA products provides various Automated and Manual recovery mechanisms to recover from asynchronous fault scenarios. They differ based on the SOA component that encounters the error. For instance, recovering from a BPEL fault may be quite different than recovering from a Resequencer fault. In this blog, we look at the various Manual Recovery mechanisms and options available to an end user. Manual recovery mechanisms require an Admin user to take appropriate action on the faulted instance from the Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control [EM FMWC Console].

The intention of this blog is to provide a quick reference for Manual Recovery of Faults within the SOA and AIA contexts. It aims to present some of the valuable information regarding Manual recovery in one place. These are currently available across many sources such as SOA Developers Guide, SOA Admin Guide, AIAFP Developers Guide and AIAFP Infrastructure and Utilities Guide.

Next we look at the various Manual recovery mechanisms available in SOA Suite 11g and AIA, starting with the BPEL Message Recovery.

BPEL Message Recovery

To understand the BPEL Message Recovery, let us briefly look into how BPEL Service engine performs asynchronous processing. Asynchronous BPEL processes use an intermediate Delivery Store in the SOA Infrastructure Database to store the incoming request. The message is then picked up and further BPEL processing happens in an Invoke Thread.

The Invoke Thread is one among the free threads from the ‘Invoke Thread Pool’ configured for BPEL Service Engine. The processing of the message from the delivery Store onwards until the next dehydration in the BPEL process or the next commit point in the flow constitutes a transaction. Figure below shows at a high level the Asynchronous request handling by BPEL Invoke Thread. Read the complete article here.
