Oracle SOA Governance 11g Implementation

Overview of this book

Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) is an architectural style created to address the challenges posed by today’s highly distributed, fast-paced computing. This goal is achieved by constructing business-focused software systems from loosely coupled, interoperable building blocks called Services. Organizations often fail to successfully implement SOA due to a lack of effective governance. Oracle SOA Governance is a comprehensive, service-orientated architecture governance solution that is designed to make the transition to SOA easier."Oracle SOA Governance 11g Implementation" illustrates how to successfully implement SOA governance in your organization. To achieve this, we describe how goals and objectives need to be clearly laid out and used to align governance processes with governance tools, governance tools with people, and people with the different roles and responsibilities that are required to implement effective governance."Oracle SOA Governance 11g Implementation" begins with a short but concise overview of SOA governance. We then go to explore real world examples, based on previous experiences and working solutions, in order to learn the concepts of Oracle SOA Governance Suite.We will also learn how to implement an OER-centric SDLC process to address your organizations design-time governance requirements. Next, we will explore OSR, and discover how to use it to expose service implementations to consumers based on UDDI concepts. We will explore the features available within Web Service Manager (WSM), Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM), and Business Transaction Manager (BTM). Finally, we discover how OER can be extended to govern Oracle Application Integration Architecture (AIA) implementations.Discover and learn how to use Oracle SOA Governance Suite to address your specific design-time and runtime governance challenges.

Summary


In this chapter, we have expanded on a use case in which Weir and Bell has employed OSR to expose services to trusted third party suppliers. Services are initially created in OER, which is used for all the aspects of design-time Governance including the enforcement of key policies and standards. Once the service is implemented and tested, it can be published to registries for consumption.

We have shown how to configure the connections between OER and OSR and demonstrated how to publish services using the Oracle Registry Repository Exchange Utility. We have also shown how to harvest deployed services using the harvester tool.

We also briefly introduced Oracle API Gateway and showed how services could be consumed from OSR in order to secure services and reduce the risk to Weir and Bell from denial of service attacks and XML bombs.

In the next chapter, we will discuss how to implement the basic runtime governance using the standard tools that ship with the Oracle SOA and Governance products...
