Oracle Enterprise Service Bus:

The Foundation for SOAESB is a multi-protocol fabric to separate integration

concerns from applications and business logic

How is this achieved?

1. Virtualize Endpoints: From resources to services

2. Transform: Convert data to target formats

3. Route: Reliably transport and route data over a variety of protocols

Expose everything as web services

1. Standards-based: XPath, XSLT, SOAP, JMS, JCA,

2. Hot-pluggable: J2EE, JMS, Database,

Oracles SOA Suite gives us a

complete set of serviceinfrastructure components for

building, deploying and managing

SOAs. We can easily extend andevolve our architectures instead ofreplacing existing investments.

Why Oracle Fusion Middleware?

We evaluated several integration solutions, rangingfrom integration appliances to the Oracle SOA Suite.

Oracles SOA Suite provided flexibility and rapidinterface development capabilities. As an Oracle shop,we wanted to leverage our solid business relationshipwith a trusted vendor partner.

After evaluating the different integration packages fromOracle, Microsoft, Cast Iron Systems, and IBM -- we feltOracle SOA Suite was the best fit for our company.

Solution Highlights Components for Success

Oracle E-Business Suite (specifically the Projectsmodule)

Oracle BPEL Process Manager 10.1.3.3

Oracle ESB 10.1.3.3 Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.3

Oracle Applications Adapter for SOA Suite 10.1.3.3

F5 Load Balancer for high availability

e2e Consulting - Worked with our internal team togather requirements and build a best practicesframework using BPEL Process Manager, Oracle ESB,

and the Oracle Applications Adapter for Oracle E-Business Suite. The Work Order integration processwas architected to get maximum reuse of eachindependent service within the overall process.

The ESB and ESP

Developing a canonical model allows multiple work order relatedservices to push data into the ESB with a single publish service tothe E-Business Suite

Discovering that a PL/SQL package can call a web service allowedus to change a polling process to a data push into the ESB

Coming to the understanding that old point-to-point interfaces can

become a series of individual data publication services withmultiple receivers (i.e. phone number change, name change,address change) makes the ESB a very powerful tool.

B fi ROI


20/40


Benefits/ROI

Short-term benefits: Replace scheduled point-to-point integrations with a real-time SOA implementation Increase visibility to process performance and exceptions Reduce interface complexity Reduce time required to troubleshoot issues

Improve error tracking and monitoring

Long-term benefits: Create a framework of reusable components that will allow easy integration for

additional work management applications Reduce interface complexity which makes interfaces easier to maintain Reduce the number of application interfaces Establish common services location for interface business logic Improve data quality

ROI:

Estimated 36% savings for new interface development time utilizing SOA Suite Estimated 50% savings for support and maintenance time Increased resource availability by having a single integration technology that lowers

time to market development costs Reduced time to troubleshoot integration issues Reduced maintenance

Lessons Learned

Having a cross-sectional IS group to review and select Fusion asour data integration tool brought visibility and consensus to theproject

Having a partnership with e2e Consulting was instrumental to oursuccess as they guided us through the initial product install andorchestration development

Taking the time to develop standards, best practices, andinterface assessment templates was a prerequisite to our futurebuild out of Fusion

Developing the canonical model for the interface early in theprocess helped drive the design

Designing the interface using a "Destination-to-Source" orderhelped ensure nothing was left out of the process

Future Plans

Any new application interfaces will be developed using OracleFusion Integration Architecture

Any existing interfaces that are associated with an applicationrefresh project (maintain, upgrade, replace, retire) will be

evaluated on a case-by-case basis for migration to the OracleFusion Integration Architecture

Leverage web services and XML components of packagedapplications wherever and whenever possible

Ensure that each application development group (BusinessApplications, Customer Applications, and OperationsApplications) and technical group have at least twodevelopers/architects formally trained in the Oracle Fusion

Integration Architecture

Leverage BPEL as a tool to engineer and re-engineer businessprocesses
