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 BTM


Oracle Enterprise Repository 11g also supports the collection of SOA composite and OSB service performance and runtime metrics as gathered by Business Transaction Manager.

Tip

Note that the integration between BTM and OER is not direct. Instead, BTM needs to be configured to publish runtime metrics and rogue services into OSR. Subsequently, the OER Exchange Utility needs to be configured to collect these metrics from OSR (refer to Chapter 6, Asset Lifecycle and Workflow, for further details on using the utility).

As of the version of OER used in this book (PS6-11.1.1.7), the integration with BTM is only supported for versions of BTM prior to 11g (basically the former Amberpoint product). In other words, BTM 11g and BTM 12c versions are not supported.

Note

If you would like more information on how this integration works and the steps required to configure it for the supported version of BTM, please refer to section 7 Integration with Amberpoint of the OER Integration Guide...
