Slide #7

General Questions
Where is your business logic ?
What if you need to change it?
How many systems require changes if one
system changes?
Do Web Services help?

-> tight coupling L

Slide #8

Why not use e.g. EJBs then?
Similar situation for EJBs:
•  Java only
•  Changes in interface require new stubs
-> changes in client jar file


Slide #9

Enterprise Application Integration
(EAI)
EAI tries to solve the integration problem
Examples of EAI System are:
•  BEA Weblogic Integration (=WLI, discontinued)
•  TIBCO Business Works
•  Vitria
•  WebMethods

Slide #10

EAI Characteristics
•  Addresses the integration problem
-> Supports plenty of technical protocols
•  You need to DEPLOY the solution (EAR / JVM)
•  Does NOT support real business processes
-> Technical level, NOT business level
-> No long running processes (e.g. 10 years?)
-> Not good in versioning

Slide #11

Reduced Complexity
EAI reduces complexity from O(n*n) to O(n):
One change per system changed.

Slide #12

Business Process Management
(BPM)
BPM deals with business workflows
Ideally: what you design is executable
-> Visio templates do not qualify as BPM
Examples of BPM Software:
•  Oracle BPM = Aqualogic BPM = Fuego
•  TIBCO IProcess & TIBCO InConcert

Slide #13

BPM Characteristics
•  Business architect draws executable workflow
that makes sense for business -> business logic
•  Human interaction
•  Long running processes
(e.g. 2 yearly vehicle inspection stickers, TÜV)
•  Versioning of running processes

Slide #14

Service Bus
•  Similar to EAI (same protocols) but

configuration driven
•  Service Bus is stateless

•  Often replaces EAI:
Weblogic Integration (=EAI) is obsolete now
•  You design message flows on a technical level

Slide #15

Service Bus

-> Service

Virtualization Layer


Slide #16

Drag and Drop Programming
BPM, EAI and
ESB:
They all have
executable,
graphical flow
diagrams.

Slide #17

Why OSB is not BPM nor EAI
… not a BPM system:
-> neither long running nor stateful nor versioning
… more then an EAI system:
-> configuration driven, registry / repository integration,
SOA focused and better monitoring with SLAs.
OSB typically does NOT host the services

Slide #18

SOA Definition
"Service-Oriented Architecture is an IT strategy
that organizes the discrete functions contained
in enterprise applications into interoperable,
standards-based services that can be combined
and reused quickly to meet business needs."


Slide #19

What is SOA?

SOA = BPM + ESB + X
so what is X? Repository, Registry, Governance, …
and what happened with EAI? often replaced by ESB

Slide #20

ORACLE SERVICE
BUS OVERVIEW

Oracle Service Bus
OSB 10gR3
•  OSB was BEA Aqualogic Service Bus (ALSB)
•  ALSB based on code from Weblogic
Integration (EAI)
•  Key product of the BEA acquisition
•  Integrates with UDDI V3 registry e.g.
Oracle Enterprise Registry

Slide #23

Service Bus Functionality Overview I
•  Loose coupling

•  Location Transparency
•  Dynamic Routing
•  Schema Transformation
•  Protocol mix and match

Slide #24

Service Bus Functionality Overview II
•  Service Aggregation

•  Load balancing, Clustering for Availability
•  Security
•  Monitoring
•  Configuration driven

Slide #25

Loose Coupling / Mediation
1.  Clients talk to service bus
(NOT directly to service implementation)
2.  OSB intercepts call = Service Mediation
3.  OSB calls service implementation
OSB acts as "service virtualization layer"
OSB can adapt/change message in step 2.

This configuration can by changed anytime.

Slide #32

Log Action
Logs Xquery expression with annotation text
and severity level to stdout.
OSB console:


Slide #33

Dynamic Routing

Routing based on runtime conditions:
•  Outcome of call to another service
•  Logical expression
•  Content of message body
•  Content of transport header

Slide #34

Schema Transformation
•  XSD schema -> XSD schema

•  binary (MFL) -> XSD schema
•  XQuery or XSLT
Example:
Transform SAP address format to company-wide
address format.

Slide #35

Eclipse: XQuery Mapper

Import Xquery from Eclipse as OSB resource

Slide #36

Xquery Join
for $priceRequest in $priceQuote1/ns2:priceRequests/ns2:priceRequest,
$availRequest in $availRequest1

where data($priceRequest/ns2:widgetId) =
data($availRequest/ns0:widgetId)
return
<quoteResponse>
<unitPrice>
{data($priceRequest/ns2:price)}
</unitPrice>
<requestedQuanity>
{data($availRequest/ns0:requestedQuanity)}
</requestedQuanity>
</quoteResponse>

OSB Admin Interfaces
•  Prior to version 3 only web based GUI
•  Web based GUI for configuration based runtime
changes, monitoring and management.

No deployment necessary!

•  WLS admin console for underlying configuration
•  Eclipsed based development started with
OSB 3.0 -> different development process

Slide #40

OSB Console
http://host:port/sbconsole

used for:

Operations
Development
Monitoring
Search
Import / Export
Testing

Slide #41

Eclipse Console


Slide #42

what is happening inside?

MONITORING

Questions addressed
How long does it take to execute this service on
average?
Send me an alert if takes 5 times longer.
What was the longest execution time ever?
How often is the login service on average called
during 10 minutes?

Slide #44

Server Health
Click on Server Snapshot for per server view


Slide #45

Service Health
•  Overview -> click Name for details
•  Select services with error


Slide #46

Detail: Service Metrics


Slide #47

Operation Metrics
Good result for jitterAndMem implementation:

(errors are provoked with illegal test data)

Slide #48

Detail: Action Metrics


Slide #49

SLA Conditions
Depend on type count vs. min/max/avg
Conditions can be combined


Slide #50

Reporting Console
Search for reports via key
Purge all reports or range asynchronously


Slide #51

SECURITY

2 Scenarios...
Web Services Security Pass-Through:
•  Proxy ignores WS-Security header, payload encrypted
•  OSB forwards message to service implementation
Client

ProxyService

BusinessService

ServiceImpl

Active intermediary:
•  Security header examined
•  Encrypted messages get decrypted at proxy service

Slide #53

Message Level Security
Based on WS-Security Standards
Use WS-Policy assertion to request message
level security for proxy service
•  Authentication
•  Integrity
•  Confidentiality
Example: Secure credit card details only

Slide #54

Transport Level Security
Protocols like http, ftp, jms over SSL
Easier to configure
Endpoint to endpoint only
-> messages are not encrypted in between


Slide #55

SAML and WLS / OSB
SAML Pass-Through =
•  OSB = passive intermediary
•  OSB forwards SAML token to service impl.

Slide #58

Throttle
Limit number of concurrent messages to business
service.
Exceeding messages put in non-pers. queue.

Queue full or expiration drops messages with
error message

Slide #59

New in OSB 11g
•  WLS 10.3.3 installation then
OSB 11g with Oracle Unified Installer
•  Same MW_HOME as SOA Suite
•  Coherence result cache:
One single cache for all business services
•  JCA Adapter from SOA suite 11g supported

Slide #61

New in OSB 11g
•  Message flow starts own JTA TX
•  JEJB = native EJB inbound
Proxy service exposed as stateless session bean
•  EJB 3 supported (finally…)
•  SOA-DIRECT protocol for SOA suite interaction
•  Multiple email endpoints for load balancing
