SOA Suite 12c – What You Need to Know by Matt Brasier

clip_image002

Complete webinar series now available to watch on-demand!

Oracle SOA Suite 12c has changed many of the components of SOA Suite and introduced some completely new ones. This webinar, delivered by the Oracle SOA Suite expert Matt Brasier, will take a look at Oracle SOA Suite 12c, focussing on the new and changed features and which of these really matter for a new or existing SOA infrastructure.

The pace of new business projects continues to grow; from increasing customer self-service to seamlessly connecting all your back office and in-the-field applications. At the same time, there is an urgency to mobile-enable existing applications, integrate with the cloud and begin development on the latest trend of connecting Internet of Things (IoT) devices to your existing infrastructure. When companies address each of these new integration challenges independently, using a patchwork of niche specialty integration toolsets, the original goals of faster business integration, increased application infrastructure flexibility, and reduced costs are no longer achievable.

This is why Oracle SOA Suite 12c was developed – to simplify IT by unifying the disparate requirements of mobile, cloud, and IoT integration into one unified and standards-based platform.

Oracle SOA Suite 12c enables you to:

Stream Explorer – configuring REST target By Jernej Kaše

 

clip_image002I’ve blogged about how to consume REST with Oracle Stream Explorer in previous posts Exploring data streams with Oracle Stream Explorer – part 1 and Exploring data streams with Oracle Stream Explorer – part 2.

This time we are going to take a look how to configure stream explorer to send events to a REST service.

We’ll start by creating an exploration which summarizes tweets per minute per each of the keywords we have: Configuring a REST target

Configuring a target is as simple as a few clicks. Just click the "Configure a target" button, select REST from the dropdown and enter your REST service url. Note that building the service is not in the scope of this blog, suffice to say it should expect parameters which your exploration emits. Read the complete article here.

Stream Explorer and JMS for both inbound and outbound interaction by Lucas Jellema

 

clip_image002In this article, we will look at the very common interaction between Stream Explorer and JMS. JMS is a commonly used channel for decoupled exchange of messages or events. Stream Explorer can both consume messages from a JMS destination (through Stream) and publish findings to a JMS destination (with a target). The use case we discuss here is about temperature sensors: small devices distributed over a building, measuring the local room temperature every few seconds and reporting it over JMS. The Stream Explorer application has to look out for rooms with quickly increasing temperatures and report those over a second JMS queue. Note: this article describes the Java (SE) code used for generating temperature signals. This class generates temperature values (in Celsius!) for a number of rooms, and publishes these to the queue temperatureMeasurements. At some random point, the class will start a fire in a randomly selected room. In this room, temperatures will soon be over 100 degrees. Also in this article is Java class HotRoomAlertProcessor  that consumes messages from a second JMS Queue. Any message received on that queue is reported to the console.

Our objective in this article is to read the temperature measurements from the JMS Queue into a Stream Explorer application, calculate the average value per room and then detect the room on fire. This hot room should then be reported to the JMS Queue.

Open Stream Explorer and from the Stream Explorer Catalog page, create a new item of type Stream. Select JMS as the source type. Read the whole article here.

SOA Suite 12.2.1 is available for download

SOA Suite 12.2.1 is available for download.

SOA Suite 12.2.1 presentation

At our SOA Community Workspace (SOA Community membership required) we posted:

WhatIsNewInSOASuite12.2.1.pptx will details about the new features.

Partner Quotes SOA Suite 12.2.1

  • clip_image002[3]With the release of SOA Suite 12.2.1, the flagship integration platform from Oracle for Cloud, On-Premise, Mobile and IoT integration is enhanced even more. The release includes new features and improvements for operations as well as development and performance. On the operations side, Integration Workload Statistics (IWS) reporting provides your operations team with even better insight in SOA metrics while Failure Resiliency enables the platform to temporarily suspend message and event processing in case of endpoints that are down. Performance gains can be obtained through the SOA In-Memory feature while developers can leverage improved debugger features and native REST and JSON support. All in all, exciting new features for a leading, complete and mature integration platform ! Ronald van Luttikhuizen, eProseed
  • clip_image003With this 12.2.1 release of SOA Suite, following hot on the heels of the launch of the SOA Cloud Service, Oracle demonstrates a strong commitment to the SOA Suite, both on premises and in the cloud. The evolution of the product focuses on cloud integration scenarios, public and private cloud deployment and further industrial robustness. The end to end support for JSON and JavaScript opens up the SOA Suite to an even wider community of developers – and brings elegance, productivity, reuse and performance to a number of key scenarios. It is great to see how this key product for our customers keeps evolving in a direction that provides even more and broader value. Lucas Jellema, Amis

clip_image005

  • SOA Suite 12.2.1 is completing the REST enablement which started in 12.1.3. Allways looking forward to new SOA Suite releases – this time also with features making us more productive or more succesful in administering critical integrations. Jon Petter Hjulstad, Sysco
  • clip_image007With 12.2.1 SOA Suite will become even more resilient and supports users to further optimize their applications. Great features like the Curcuit breaker, more insights into internal processing, using IWS, and the E2E JSON support makes this new release even more valuable. From my perspective a further step into the right direction. Sven Bernhardt, Opitz Consulting

clip_image009

  • Continued investment on REST and valuable improvements on existing features give customers even more choices – Bruno Santos, eProseed
  • One of the stand-out features for me in SOA Suite 12.2.1 from an operations perspective is Integration Workload Statistics (IWS). Active Session History has transformed how we clip_image011diagnose application performance problems with the Oracle database and I anticipate IWS will become a key tool for SOA too. This will be especially relevant to SOA Cloud Service as we will have more time to concentrate on tuning and improving the service to our customers. Simon Haslam, Veriton.

clip_image013

  • Release 12.2.1 can get your organization to a different level of process optimization with tools like IWS and Resilience. Having performance problems? Use IWS to quickly gain insight into potential culprits. Is your system slowing down, caused by temporary malfunctioning parts? Resilience can prevent this for you. Marcel van de Glind, myFMW.

clip_image015

  • 12.2 steps up the game with improved mobile support and new clever administration and monitoring features. Carlos Pona, Link Consulting.
  • clip_image017[4]Improved existing features, added many new future prove features for developers and prepared even more for the cloud. That is SOA Suite 12.2.1. Carsten Wiesbaum, esentri

SOA Suite 12c: solving a bug by Michel Schildmeijer

 

clip_image002For a customer in the Netherlands, in the healthcare division, Qualogy is implementing Oracle SOA Suite 12c(12.1.3) and Oracle Service Bus 12c(12.1.3). For connection with a WebService to a backoffice system, we enabled SSL and the OWSM Policy oracle/wss_username_token_over_ssl_service_policy:

We enabled SSL on domain level, created the necessary keystores regarding trust and Identity. After restarting the domain, all alerts in the Fusion Middleware Console seems to have dissappeared.

Oracle raised an official bug for this, Bug 20599654 – OSB Pipeline alerts are not displayed in EM console when SSL is enabled which is under investigation at Oracle Product Development since begin of march, upto now.

What we saw appearing in the logs was that, when we enabled SSL at domainlevel, the OSB aggregator, which aggregates all OSB alert data, was not able to connect over the t3s protocol WebLogic uses for internal applications to connect with eachother over RMI. We saw these messages: Read the complete article here.

OSB Release Management Utility by Joao Moura

 

clip_image002Agile methodologies have increased radically the numbers of release events in organisations where it has been adopted.  Both development and operations teams need to collaborate more closely during production release events requiring more than ever the right supporting tools.

How many times have you been asked what has been deployed in environment X?

If you are using CI tools and doing release management properly it should be a straightforward answer. However, software deployment comprises a set of steps involving multiple parties. As a result, the process isn’t entirely automated requiring human intervention which is susceptible to errors.

Imagine you have just delivered an OSB Production bundle to the operations guys (DBAs, Weblogic Admins…).

How can you prove that the expected jar has been deployed without looking at the source code or running any tests ?

We are using a custom Release Management Utility that saves us a lot of time and headaches ☺

· No third-party software required; It uses Hudson, SVN, Maven and OSB

· Allows users without technical knowledge to view what’s deployed

· Identifies project changes between sprints

· Track back to source code based on SVN revision

· Displays build date and version for each individual project
