Where Is SOA Going? By Bob Rhubart

November 1, 2016 Leave a comment

clip_image001

 

SOA principles drive new focus.

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) has been a topic of conversation among IT professionals since before phones got smart and the word cloud referred to something other than airborne water vapor. While the basic concept of SOA hasn’t really changed, perceptions and practices around implementing SOA continue to evolve.

Services are everywhere, and with this burst of cloud, mobile, and API initiatives, SOA couldn’t be in better shape.

Rolando Carrasco,
SOA Principal Architect and Co-Owner, S&P Solutions

To get a sense of how that evolution is playing out among people who work in SOA, I put the following question to the community via an Oracle Technology Network discussion forum: Where is SOA going?

As it happens, three of the most detailed responses came from the authors of the book Oracle API Management 12c Implementation. That’s particularly fitting, given that their book’s general subject matter, API management—always a factor in SOA—has taken on even greater significance as the use of cloud-based services becomes increasingly prevalent in enterprise IT.

Oracle ACE Director Luis Weir, the book’s lead author and the principal architect at HCL Industries, is confident of a solid and rosy future for SOA as an architectural concept. But he thinks how we talk about it is changing.

“SOA has been reborn in the form of ‘digital technologies’ such as IoT [Internet of Things], API management, microservices, and cloud integration solutions,” Weir says.

Among those digital technologies, API management looms large as a connecting thread. In a post on his blog, Weir defines the term API management as “the discipline that governs the software development lifecycle of APIs. It defines the tools and processes needed to build, publish, and operate APIs.” Given that APIs provide the means for connection and interaction between services—in the cloud and elsewhere—the elevated role API management plays in today’s SOA is understandable.

The Middleware track in this event offers you a choice.

  • Track 1: The Internet of Things
    This track starts with a look at IoT in the enterprise and an examination of three different architectures that incorporate the Oracle IoT Cloud Service. The next session drills down into a reference architecture that includes the IoT Cloud Service, plus Oracle’s Integration, Process, Big Data, and Mobile Cloud Services, and presents a demo showing the development of a vending machine case. The third and final IoT session shows you how to connect devices to the IoT Cloud Service and how to use Stream Explorer to display sensor data from those devices in a web application.
  • Track 2: WebLogic 12.2.1 and Java EE
    This track presents three in-depth technical sessions covering different aspects of WebLogic 12.2.1. The first is an extensive, code-driven introduction to developing Java EE 7 applications with WebLogic 12.2.1. The second session digs into WebLogic Multi-Tenancy fundamentals, and the final session shows how you can take advantage of WebLogic Server Zero Down-time Patching.

Can’t make up your mind? No worries! All VTS sessions are available on-demand after the live event.

BPM Suite 12.2.1 download

November 20, 2015 2 Comments

clip_image002

You want to download BPM Suite 12.2.1? But you only see BPM Suite 12.3.1 at the OTN page? Here is a little trick:

What’s new in Oracle BPM Suite Version 12.2.1 by Cesare Rotundo

Business Process Management (BPM) Suite 12.2.1 is a complete, unified platform that enables customers to deliver against their business process strategy, execution, and automation needs, from business architecture modeling to business and IT delivery of process solutions.

BPM 12c covers four key BPM functionality areas:

· Business Architecture: model starting at the highest (Level 0) level of process abstraction, using Enterprise Process Map, Value Chain Models, Strategy Models, with the ability to link to BPMN processes, as well as to generate an Enterprise KPI Heat Map, Documentation, and Process Reports.

· Collaborative Business Modeling: model specific processes using the BPMN 2.0 notation, offering both Business and IT the right tools for collaborating from modeling to execution.

· Adaptive Case Management: deliver true Case Management solutions than dynamically adapt to the business context, allowing knowledge workers to execute the actions in a set of best available presented to them

· Intelligent Operations: make available real-time Business Activity Monitoring analytics, allowing business real-time control of operational and historical conditions and to take immediate action thru activity-enabled dashboards

While Oracle BPM Suite version 12.1.3 has delivered completely new areas such as Business Architecture, version 12.2.1 makes this complete set of BPM functionality more easily consumable by external solutions and integrated with WebCenter 12c Content and Portal, jointly released with BPM.

REST API

BPM Suite 12.2.1 includes a full set of REST API that enable applications built with any technology to leverage BPM Suite as an engine for workflow management, service integration, and process orchestration. This model is particularly well suited when custom mobile apps need a process engine that offers full BPMN and ACM capabilities, and that delivers BAM dashboards to enable control, management, and continuous improvement of processes.

Specifically, version 12.2.1 adds more granular task control, whereas users of any application / mobile app linked to BPM Suite via REST can now execute and withdraw, escalate, approve, reject, etc. tasks managed in BPM Suite. BPM 12.2.1 has also extended the set of REST API that enable Case control (ACM).

Reusable User Interface Components

BPM Suite 12.2.1 includes user interface (UI) components that can be embedded in WebCenter Portal. These include Task List, where Portal users can access tasks assigned to them by BPM, and Application List, where Portal users can launch BPM applications for which they have been enabled. These BPM UIs can be imported as a Portal Resource Catalog, then embedded into any Portal page, and easily configured based on a set of most common parameters.

Alta User Experience

The User Experience for BPM Suite 12.2.1 is now available with the all-new Oracle Alta UI system, adopted by the most recent Oracle Cloud, on premise, and mobile applications.

Alta offers:

· Fully redesigned UI component set and interactions

· Fresh visual design complements modern layout approach

· UI conducive to responsive design techniques

· Native Mobile UI
