Oracle Integration

SOA Software’s Service Manager™ integrates with Oracle’s BPEL Business Process Manager and related products.  With Oracle exposing and consuming Web services as part of their next-generation of eBusiness Suite, version 11.5.10, the Service Manager provides Oracle customers with the ability to implement Web services with end-to-end security, location transparency, SLAs, and quality of service. With the Service Manager, Oracle’s process tools can now enable the benefits of an SOA by abstracting all the complexity of consuming Web services away from the process tools, bringing true agility for the first time to a loosely coupled heterogeneous environment.

Integration with Oracle eBusiness Suite 11.5.10
As a comprehensive platform for XML and Web services security and management, the Service Manager can be used to extend the functionality of the Oracle eBusiness Suite 11.5.10 Process Manager and enable a secure, manageable Service-Oriented Architecture that leverages Oracle technology.  The Service Manager provides the following security and management functionality for Web services exposed in your enterprise through Oracle 11.5.10:

  • Centralized Policy Management
  • Performance Monitoring and Reporting
  • Security Enablement, Enforcement and Auditing
  • Provisioning, Contracts and SLA management
  • Web Services Publishing, Search and Discovery via UDDI
  • Multi-protocol message transport for quality-of-service

Integration with Oracle BPEL Process Manager
SOA Software’s Service Manager can be used to extend the functionality of the Oracle BPEL Process Manager and enable a complete Business Process Management solution based on Web services.

  • Securing and Managing the BPEL workflow - SOA Software’s Management Point™ can be used to secure and manage the BPEL workflow because the BPEL workflow is a Web service defined using a WSDL.  As a result, the communication/invocation from a client application that uses SOA Software’s Gateway™ can be secured and monitored.
  • Securing and Managing Web Services that are part of the BPEL workflow - In this scenario, the Management Point is used to secure and manage the underlying Web services that are part of the BPEL workflow.  The BPEL workflow may have several Web services with various security and monitoring requirements which can all be managed using the Management Point.
  • Monitoring the BPEL workflow with SLAs - The Service Manager has the ability to monitor Web service performance and enforce SLAs that are associated with the BPEL workflow.  The DESM can generate alerts in case of SLA violations.
