Module1 - Introduction to SOA

The following is intended to outline our general

product direction. It is intended for information
purposes only, and may not be incorporated into any
contract. It is not a commitment to deliver any
material, code, or functionality, and should not be
relied upon in making purchasing decisions.
The development, release, and timing of any
features or functionality described for Oracles
products remains at the sole discretion of Oracle.

Where SOA and BPM can help

Practical examples
What is the status of this PO? Why is it on hold? Who needs
to approve it?
Is our inventory too low? Too high? Can we ship from another
distribution center?
Are we meeting SLAs for our top 50 customers? If not, what is
the impact?
Can we provide faster system access to new employees?
I just typed my SSN into the keypad, why does the CSR need
it again?

Regardless of new business request, OSB is pre-configured to

Recommendations
Do not directly expose your interfaces to consumers: insert the
bus in the picture
While using the bus for a handful of services might seem overkill
at first, it will very quickly become a key element of your IT
strategy not just your SOA strategy: upgrades, server
relocations, etc.
In addition, adoption of the bus brings up core questions that you
will need to answer as you embark in SOA: what type of
interfaces will we expose, governance etc.
While OSB can be deployed on same machines as the rest of
SOA, however it is good practice to use a separate tiers for it (to
maximize the role of OSB as buffer/virtualization layer)

EVENTS

Events
Monitoring one data stream for a simple condition is easy.
Ex: alert me when inventory < 5
Ex: alert me when temp < -20C
Correlating conditions across multiple data streams is
harder
Ex: alert me when inventory < 5 AND temp < -20C
usually time becomes important even harder:
Ex: alert me when inventory < 5 AND temp < -20C within 2
days
Now multiply the number of streams and events by 1,000s
Add supports for patterns and trends
this is the complex in Complex Event Processing

Oracle Complex Event Processing (CEP)

The Technology

Java-based product (Stand-alone OSGi Event Server)

Handles million of events per second
Microseconds latencies
Event pattern Analysis executes in memory (not in DB)
Handles Event Streams with any level of Complexity

Impossible to process / analyze in real-time with traditional
