Template


11

Composite

Component

BPEL Activity

2014 © Trivadis

Service Bus Templates

� New artifact type

� Two ways to create a Template� Generate template from existing pipeline � Create template from scratch

� New pipelines are generated from the Template


12

2014 © Trivadis

Service Bus Templates - Derivation

� Derived pipelines are considered concrete� Concrete pipelines can be linked (default) or unlinked � If linked, all changes in Template are reflected in derived concretes

� Templates actions can be ‘Locked’


13

2014 © Trivadis

BPEL Sub-Processes


14

� Allows business logic to be modularized and reused

� 2 Types of Sub-Processes :

� Standalone- Currently available within a composite (callable from BPEL component) - Permits access of data in parent process - Compensation and fault handling inherited from calling process

� Inline- Re-usable within a BPEL process- At run-time, the subprocess code is re-entrant and re-usable – only one copy is stored in

memory, even if it is called multiple times

2014 © Trivadis

Oracle Event Processing 12c – Solution overview

Why use Oracle Event Processing?

• high throughput and low latency processing

• continuously streaming data

• Real-time correlation between multiple incoming data sources.

• Time-sensitive alerts, aggregations and calculations.

• Needs to look for patterns in data stream

• Data does not need to be stored, if there is nothing of interest in it.

• Problem is more easily solved by analyzing before storing in DB.


45

2014 © Trivadis

Oracle Event Processing 12c – What’s new

• New development environment (JDeveloper)

• Big Data extensions

• Library of patterns to choose from (i.e. missing event rule)

• Easily connects with SOA infrastructure (incl. graphical browsing of events and their structures)

• Supports integration with SOA Suite’s Event Delivery Network (EDN)

50

2014 © Trivadis

Upgrading to 12c – SOA Domains

Upgrade Assistant for SOA Domains

� In-place domain upgrade and re-configuration

� No need to re-deploy composites after upgrade

� Long-running instances resume after upgrade

Prerequisites

� Starting point: SOA Suite 11.1.1.6 or 11.1.1.7 ( supported only)

� 64-bit OS and JVM

� Dehydration store DB must be supported version – 11g or 12c


51

2014 © Trivadis

Upgrading to 12c – SOA Domains

Unsupported scenarios

� «No-downtime» upgrades – there will be downtime during automatic upgrade process

� For 12c features, open 11g projects in 12c JDeveloper

� «Developer» domain upgrades not supported

Alternative scenarios

� Create new 12c domain and run it in parallel to 11g domain. Let long-running processes finish on old domain

� Export / Import composites to 12c

�� No downtime on production environment


52

2014 © Trivadis

Upgrading to 12c – OSB Domains

Upgrade Procedure

� Export projects before upgrade and re-import after upgrade

� Migration from Eclipse design time to JDeveloper design time with import/export

� If OWSM Policy Manager was not deployed in 11g, there is a pre-upgrade step to do so


53

2014 © Trivadis

Upgrading to 12c – BAM Domains

� BAM 12c based on a new architecture and many components were rewritten -includes new schema, new data objects, business query and dashboard metadata, query processing using OEP, new ADF charts etc.

� Significant differences between 11g and 12c in terms of schemas, binaries etc.

�� Dashboards and Alerts migration is not possible. Customers will create new dashboards based on migrated Data Objects for proprietary UIs

Upgrade Procedure

� Creating new domain or upgrading existing domain to 12g

� Data objects can be exported / imported using existing Icommand utility

� Re-create Dashboards and Alerts (manually..)


54

2014 © Trivadis

What about support for 11g ?

SOA Suite 11g support timelines extended, giving cu stomers ample time to plan upgrade

� Premier Support ends December 2018

� Extended Support until December 2021http://www.oracle.com/us/support/library/lifetime-support-middleware-069163.pdf
