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


The chapter started by describing the data quality issues faced by Weir & Bell Telecoms and why, regardless of having available a relatively matured SOA implementation, Weir & Bell Telecoms' data quality issues persisted. Then it highlighted the importance of MDM and how an MDM solution, built using the AIA FP and its PIPs, would reduce effort and risk while still delivering the benefits of SOA.

The chapter continued by giving an overview of AIA FP, illustrating its Software Development Lifecycle and Reference Architecture.

The chapter concluded with a practical use case on integrating the AIA FP with Oracle Enterprise Repository to reinforce service visibility and reusability with the objective to maximize business benefits.

The following chapter summarizes the steps for installing the products of the Oracle SOA Governance Solution.
