12. What is Oracle Application Express? Rapid Application Development (RAD) Tool Declaratively develop Web UI’s Based on a Data source BUT: Not necessarily database objects 12 © 2011 Capgemini. All rights reserved.

13. What is the Oracle SOA Suite? Fully Integrated Suite Best-of-breeds SOA Tooling Composite Editor Service Bus BPEL Process Manager Business Rules Web Service Manager For UI’s basic choice: ADF But not necessarily! 13 © 2011 Capgemini. All rights reserved.

14. APEX vs. ‘SOA Suite’Pro APEX: Database Development Declarative Small. Effective. Generated UI’s Cheap SOA Suite: Processes Application Integration ‘Non-Silo’ Services / XML / WSDL / (And other abbreviations) Open Standards 14 © 2011 Capgemini. All rights reserved.

15. APEX vs. ‘SOA Suite’Con APEX: Silo’s Database Development Propriety Standards (PL/SQL) SOA Suite: Big. Large. (ADF…..) ... 15 © 2011 Capgemini. All rights reserved.

26. SOAPEX: The Oracle SOA Suite and APEX

27. Three 'Streams' APEX instead of ADF/JAVA/SOMETHINGELSE in a SOA Architecture APEX is good for UI development Used in ‘Silo’ Applications (Domain Specific) Fast, reliable, easy to learn, … Agile The “Data-less” APEX application All CRUD actions trough services (Almost) no data within the APEX-app itself, just service calls. APEX Custom Application Connecting to Other App’s trough SOA Suite Combination of the above 27 © 2011 Capgemini. All rights reserved.

31. Example: APEX and the Oracle E-Business Suite

32. APEX & Oracle EBSWhy? Incorporating standard functionality Oracle E-Business Suite in Custom APEX application. The less custom functionality in Oracle E-Business Suite, the better Upgrading EBS Maintenance Overall ‘Simplicity’ of the EBS configuration Custom development for ‘only’ one part of the Business But without ‘redeveloping’ functionality already available Reusing data and logic Faster development & Easier deployment No dependencies with other (EBS) projects … Oracle E-Business Suite offers an extensive library of interfaces. Well documented Proven Tested Supported 32 © 2011 Capgemini. All rights reserved.

33. APEX & Oracle EBSIntegration Possibilities Oracle E-Business Suite offers a lot of standard possibilities to integrate with external applications: Interface tables XML messages EDI messages PL/SQL API’s Business Service Objects Business Events AND it’s all possible to enable these as Web Services using: The Oracle E-Business Suite Integrated SOA Gateway 33 © 2011 Capgemini. All rights reserved.

35. APEX & Oracle EBSHow? How is this done? E-Business Suite Integrated SOA Gateway Deploy EBS’ (PL/SQL) API’s using the Integration Repository Enclose services using the Oracle Service Bus All WSDL / SOAP based, controlled and enabled In APEX: Call Services using the WSDL library as Web Service Reference (CRUD actions on EBS done using these services) APEX is just the Service Consumer 35 © 2011 Capgemini.

36. Example: APEX and Siebel CRM On Demand

37. APEX & CRM On DemandWhy? SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) CRM solution from Oracle Best-of-Breeds CRM Online access Small investment Using APEX for Custom functionality No changes in SaaS application (possible) APEX has small ‘footprint’ Extensive Integration possibilities Siebel CRM On Demand Web Services Since 2006 Completely Standards-Based Usable in SOA Suite & APEX CRM information usable in Custom APEX Apps Customer information Deal & Opportunity information Always ‘in sync’ Proven, tested, supported. 37 © 2011 Capgemini. All rights reserved.

38. APEX & CRM On DemandHow? Siebel CRM Web Services On Demand All API’s available CRUD actions on CRM entities Incorporate services in Oracle Service Bus External reference using the CRM On Demand Web Services Library Ensuring a secure connection Loosely-coupled Access Services in APEX as Web Service Reference Preferably using a UDDI / Service Registry 38 © 2011 Capgemini.
