• Let’s talk about SOA

• Business Events

• EDN with Oracle SOA Suite 11g

• Architectures

• Uses Cases

• Summary

• Questions

What is SOA?

Service-oriented architecture is a technology architectural model for service-oriented solutions with distinct characteristics in support of realizing service-orientation and the strategic goals associated with service-oriented computing.

SOA is a way of organizing applications and processes in terms of services.

We Use SOA… EVERYDAY!

Why Move?

Business Reasons

• Agility

• Cost

IT Reasons

• Agility

• Cost

• Reduce Risk

What is EDN?

• Allows loose coupling between SCA components.

• Abstracted Framework

• Similar to JMS & AQ

Advantages

• Loose coupling– Domains

• Great GUI support for EDN

• Requires minimal coding

Event Delivery Network Infrastructure

• Two types of implementations:– EDN-DB (default)

• Oracle Database

– EDN-JMS• JMS back-end store

• Supports SCA, ADF, PL/SQL and Java

• Each instance of SOA runs EDN

Event Delivery Network Infrastructure

Don’t treat as a Messaging Infrastructure!

What are Business Events?

• One-Way, Fire and Forget, Asynchronous

• Can be used in the following situations:– Dashboard data– Invoke another Business Process– Business Activity Monitoring

Business Events

• Event Definition Language (EDL)– XML Schema

• Global Name• Payload

• Stored in MDS

• Published to EDN Infrastructure

• Subscribed to by other service components

• Cannot be unpublished, always exist

Levels

• One and Only One

• Guaranteed

• Immediate

Connection Types

• Local Event

• Remote

Debugging

• Only available on EDN-DB

• SOA_INFRA schema

• Found at:– http://<host_name>:<port_number>/soa-infra/

events/edn-db-log

SCA Example

ADF & Java

• Build events and publish via Java API

• Through Java class BusinessEventBuilder

PL/SQL

• Messages can be published from PL/SQL

• Using procedure EDN_PUBLISH_EVENT

Uses Cases

• Notification System– Send notifications to end-users– Types of Messages:

• Success• Faults• Information

– Abstracted & Flexible Design

Composite

NotificationMessage

Message Utility

Service

Notification Service

EDN

• Why this design?– Easier development– Reusable services– Publish from multiple sources

• ADF application• PL/SQL• Java

• Logging System– Control different logging levels– Published directly from SOA service components

• Captured in Oracle Database– Reporting purposes

• Error Handling– Uses notification system for emails– Common Error Event EDL– Used throughout all integrations

Testing

• Fusion Middleware Control

• Right-click soa-infra and select Business Events

• Downside: Need to enter your own xml message

What Not To Do

• Use Case– Used EDN to persist between service components– Guaranteed delivery– At every service call

• Problem:– SLA was dependent on completing processing in

all subsystems– Taking over 15 minutes to process 1 message!!

• Ultimately, bad design

• Tuning steps:– Organization was bringing in new database– Moved to EDN-JMS

• Improved, but still didn’t SLA’s

Tips & Tricks

• Create Business Events First!

• Group Business Events by Type In EDL file

• Store in MDS!!
