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.

Integrating OER with OEM


OER 11g supports the collection of performance and runtime metrics from OEM using the OER Integration Utility. This feature allows important runtime data to be captured from SOA composites and OSB services.

The version of the Integration Utility available with OER at the time of writing of this book (PS6-11.1.1.7) only supports OEM Grid Control 10g R3 (10.2.0.5) and OEM Grid Control 11g. Both these versions of OEM have already been superseded by OEM 12c Cloud Control and are no longer available for download either from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) site or from the e-Delivery site (edelivery.oracle.com). For this reason, it was decided that the addition of extensive details on how to configure the Integration Utility would not add great value to the reader. However, because this is a fundamental feature of the Oracle Governance providing Close-Loop Governance, it is expected that the Integration Utility will support OEM 12c in a later patch set or major release...
