Deployment in a Service oriented environment is slightly more complicated because the endpoints and other settings need to be changed when promoting the components through QA, Staging and production systems. The Oracle SOA suite offers different mechanisms for different components: Configuration plans for SCA components and customization files for the OSB. You can either deploy an artifact manually, or script the deployment using ant or WLST. This paper will discuss the different settings you can adjust in configuration plans and customization files, a way of organizing these files in different situations and the use of scripting versus manual deployment.

9. Solution | Steps to deployment
Deployment steps
1. Create a package (jar, ear)
2. Add configuration for the target environment
3. Deploy the package (jar, ear, sar)

10. Solution | Three ways to deploy
Development tool
● Development environment
● JDeveloper for Weblogic Server, SOA Suite, BPM Suite
● Oracle Eclipse Pack for Weblogic Server, Oracle Service Bus
● Process editor (Web based) for BPM suite
● Oracle service bus console to develop OSB flows
Console
● Development environment, Test environment
● Weblogic console for JEE
● Enterprise manager for SCA composites
● Oracle service bus console for OSB components and resources

11. Solution | Three ways to deploy (2)
Scripting
● WLST for WebLogic Server and SOA Suite, OSB
● Maven for JEE
● Ant for JEE, SOA Suite, BPM suite (and to call OSB scripts)
or……Combination of the three options
● Script creating of package, manual deployment
● Manually create the package, script deployment
● Script packaging, deployment, configure manually
● …..

12. Solution | Configuration
JEE
● Deployment descriptors:
• Web.xml, Weblogic-web.xml, application.xml, …
SOA Suite
● Configuration plan
OSB
● Customization file

15. Solution | Shared resources
JEE
● Libraries (Ear, war)
● Connection pools, resource adapters
SOA Suite & BPM Suite
● MDS
● Resource adapters
OSB
● Resources (XSD, WSDL, XSLT, Xquery) -> Projects
● System accounts -> System account

16. Solution | Tips
Configuration
● Combine Configuration plans for different Composites
● Export Customization file from OSB
● Use OSB to connect to external service to minimize
configuration of endpoints
Shared resources
● Use MDS for SOA Suite and BPM Suite
● Use designated projects in OSB for shared resources
