When you upgrade to SOA Suite PS6 (11.1.1.7) you acquire a new set of Diagnostic Dumps in addition to what was available in PS5. With more than a dozen to choose from and not wanting to run them one at a time, this blog post provides a sample script to collect them all quickly and hopefully easily. There are several ways that this collection could be scripted and this is just one example.
What is Included:

  • wlst.properties: Ant Properties

9 Tips for Organizational Maturity in SOA by Luis Weir

February 20, 2014 1 Comment

One of the greatest challenges to implementing SOA has in fact nothing to do with the intrinsic complexity behind a SOA technology platform. It is widely recognized that the real difficulty lies in dealing with people and processes from different parts of business and aligning them to deliver enterprise wide solutions. This is not only true in the case of SOA architectures but rather a challenge faced in systems design in general. As it has been nicely put by Conway’s law: “organizations which design systems … are constrained to produce designs which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations”.

Following 9 tips that have helped me bridge organizational silos by improving communications and collaboration between teams/departments and also by providing visibility over available assets:

Internet of Things – The Oracle platform by Torsten Winterberg

February 19, 2014 Leave a comment

IoT will be the next game changer. We’re entering a world, where Billions of devices will be able to play in role in higher level processes. There will be many more machines using our todays internet than humans will do. This is a summary of an Openworld session on Oracle IoT strategy.

IoT Definition from Wikipedia:
Equipping all objects in the world with minuscule identifying devices could be transformative of daily life. For instance, business may no longer run out of stock or generate waste products, as involved parties would know which products are required and consumed. One’s ability to interact with objects could be altered remotely based on immediate or present needs, in accordance with existing  end-user agreements.

Some major challenges have to be addressed:

  • Complex value chain
  • Lack of standardization to build, deploy & manage IoT applications
  • No consistency in managing security of data and identity of devices
  • Need to analyze Fast data in real time
  • No integration platform to convert data into business automation

Oracle launched their Iot platform at Openworld 2013 with this focus:

  • Standardize application development for devices, enterprise, web and mobile apps
  • Analyze IoT data to achieve real-time visibility
  • Integrate IoT data with enterprise applications & cloud infrastructure
  • Secure data & identity across devices and enterprise data center

Cloud to On-Premise Connectivity Patterns By Rajesh Raheja

February 17, 2014 Leave a comment

Do you have a requirement to convert an Opportunity in Salesforce.com to an Order/Quote in Oracle E-Business Suite? Or maybe you want the creation of an Oracle RightNow Incident to trigger an on-premise Oracle E-Business Suite Service Request creation for RMA and Field Scheduling? If so, read on.

In a previous blog post, I discussed integrating TO cloud applications, however the use cases above are the reverse i.e. receiving data FROM cloud applications (SaaS) TO on-premise applications/databases that sit behind a firewall. Oracle SOA Suite is assumed to be on-premise with with Oracle Service Bus as the mediation and virtualization layer. The main considerations for the patterns are are security i.e. shielding enterprise resources; and scalability i.e. minimizing firewall latency. Let me use an analogy to help visualize the patterns: the on-premise system is your home – with your most valuable possessions – and the SaaS app is your favorite on-line store which regularly ships (inbound calls) various types of parcels/items (message types/service operations). You need the items at home (on-premise) but want to safe guard against misguided elements of society (internet threats) who may masquerade as postal workers and vandalize property (denial of service?). Let’s look at the patterns. Read the complete article here.

Connecting Clinical and Administrative Processes: Oracle SOA Suite for Healthcare Integration

February 15, 2014 1 Comment

SOA HealthcareOne of the biggest IT challenges facing today’s health care industry is the difficulty in finding reliable, secure, and cost-effective ways to exchange information. Buyers and providers need versatile platforms for enterprise-wide information sharing. Clinicians require accurate information to provide quality care to patients while administrators need integrated information for all facets of the business operation. Both sides of the organization must be able to access information from research and development systems, practice management systems, claims systems, financial systems, and many others. Externally, these organizations must share claims data, patient records, pharmaceutical data, lab reports, and diagnostic information among third party entities – all while complying with emerging standards for formatting, processing, and storing electronic health records (EHR).

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) enables developers to integrate many types of software applications, databases and computing platforms within a particular health network as well as with community, state, and national health information exchanges. The Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration is designed to provide healthcare organizations with comprehensive integration capabilities within a unified middleware platform, as well as with healthcare libraries and templates for streamlining healthcare IT projects. It reduces the need for specialized skills and enforces an enterprise-wide view of critical healthcare data.  Read the complete article here.

At our SOA Community Workspace (SOA Community membership required) the latest SOA Suite for healthcare presentation is available.

Using JPA in SCA Spring Beans by Dusan Chromy

February 13, 2014 Leave a comment

When using  Oracle SOA Suite 11g SCA Spring Bean components you will likely be facing a decision about how to interact with your database from within the Spring Beans. The answer will ultimately depend on your overall system architecture. For instance you may wire a Spring Bean directly to a DB adapter, or you can encapsulate the data access inside a web service or an EJB session bean. In my last project we have decided to access the data directly from the Spring Beans, taking advantage of the flexibility provided by Spring’s JDBC abstraction framework. In fact Spring makes JDBC access so simple that it is easy to miss other alternatives, one of them being especially noteworthy – the Java Persistence API.

Java Persistence API has greatly simplified the object-relational mapping in Java. Let’s have a look at how JPA can be incorporated into an SCA application.
The Service
We will create a simple service inspired by my other passion, motorcycles. The service will provide these operations:

  • createBike – creates an entity for a motorcycle with the specified manufacturer and model name and returns the entity’s ID.
  • getBikeDescription – retrieves the description of a motorcycle with the specified ID.

The Project
We start with an empty composite project and add a Spring Bean, following the code-first approach:

  • Create a Java interface for our SCA service: MotoService.java
  • Create a dummy implementation of the above interface MotoServiceImpl.java.
  • Create a Spring Context which uses the classes created in the above steps.
  • Wire the Spring Context to the Exposed Services lane – this step will generate MotoService.wsdl.
