Recap of the "Real-World Cloud Integration Simplified with Oracle SOA Suite" presentation at Oracle OpenWorld 2013

I attended this presentation at Oracle OpenWorld 2013 titled "Real-World Cloud Integration Simplified with Oracle SOA Suite" by:

  • Raghu Kadirvelu (Bristlecone, Inc.)
  • Vikas Anand (Senior Director, Product Management, Oracle)
  • Rajesh Raheja (Senior Director, Development, Oracle)

Raghu provided a live demo of multiple integrations between E-Business Suite (which was sitting on premise in their data center) and SalesForce.com (which resided on the cloud). The SOA Suite integrations were built using the new 11g SalesForce adapter, and demonstrated the bi-directional movement of data to satisfy two functional use cases.

This was by far one of the best SOA presentations I attended at OpenWorld this year, and let me explain why.
At the surface, this appears to be a simple presentation on yet another JCA adapter. But both Vikas (@VikasAatOracle) and Rajesh (@RahejaRajesh) are masters in their domain, and you have to listen closely to them to really understand that these guys are visionaries in their respective fields.
Here are some of the points I appreciated:

  • The live demo showcased multiple asynchronous integrations between E-Business Suite and SalesForce, seeing first hand how the end result works. The techies in the crowd got it.
  • A walkthrough in JDeveloper of the new 11g SalesForce "cloud" adapter was provided, with mention to some of the various (unique) options specific to the adapter and how Oracle addressed SalesForce API design considerations.
  • A brief mention of cloud-to-cloud integrations was made, but Vikas stated that the trend they’ve been seeing was more onpremise-to-cloud scenarios, and that typically any organization would want to host their master data internally while still taking advantage of cursory or supplementary cloud services. Otherwise you risk having your data sprinkled across your many public cloud service providers Read the full article here.

Introducing Oracle Enterprise Repository Express Workflows – Simplified Lifecycle Management by Yogesh Sontakke

As announced at Oracle Open World 2013 last week, we are delighted to introduce an exciting, new feature for Oracle Enterprise Repository 11g PS6 – Express Workflows.

OER provides a set of features and options for moving an asset from an initial to a final lifecycle state. Express Workflows are a mechanism for    automating these asset lifecycle approval processes in OER.
Express Workflows help automate this process for any given type of assets that are produced by your project(s). It allows you to easily assign approvers and define the flow of approvals from one approver to the next.
You can use Express Workflows to pre-define, automate and ensure that assets submitted or harvested into your OER projects go through as much or as less of an approval process as per your requirement – in a few, simple steps.

Download the OER 11g Express Workflows here – requirements and detailed instructions are available in the PDF bundled within the patch.
