Whats's new in SOA Suite 12c
Donnerstag, Juni 26, 2014
Finally! Oracle SOA Suite 12c and Oracle BPM Suite 12c Launched today!
Watch out our blogs for postings about the new features over the next weeks.
Best new feature for me personally?
The developer install mode. You don't have to go for big virtualbox anymore to test something quickly. Just execute the installable, make some choices and after 20 minutes ready you are.
Just start JDeveloper and the embedded Weblogic server in JDev. Everything is in here now. An in-memory database and fully functional soa and bpm domain. That's great! Never seen reacting JDev so fast and having that small deployment times. Absolutely great! Wait until you even see the new Debugger on composite level… :-)

Case Management: What means "adaptive"?
Today I want to point you to an excellent blog post, with some very good comments by Keith Swenson. He is completely right and I like his explanation on the difference between “normal” case management and real adaptive case management. And I really love this quote: “For example, humans change duties much more frequently than servers, and are not identical replaceable units.”. Read the full story at: http://social-biz.org/2012/09/12/case-management-contrasting-production-vs-adaptive/. It is worth the time!

Some things to think about during Christmas days
5 Ways To Be a Leader – Not Just a Manager:
1. Be An Innovator and Not An Administrator
2. Be An Originator and Not An Imitator
3. Be a Long Range Thinker and Don’t Take the Short Term View
4. Be Someone Who Asks What and Why, Not How and When
5. Managers Do Things Right; Leaders Do the Right Thing
Taken from:
Quote by Jim Rohn:
„If you really want to do something, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse."
Quote by Peter Kreuz:
You need three things to do a great job:
· Talent
· Passion

Internet of Things - The Oracle platform
IoT will be the next game changer. We’re entering a world, where Billions of devices will be able to play in role in higher level processes. There will be many more machines using our todays internet than humans will do. This is a summary of an Openworld session on Oracle IoT strategy.
IoT Definition from Wikipedia:
Equipping all objects in the world with minuscule identifying devices could be transformative of daily life. For instance, business may no longer run out of stock or generate waste products, as involved parties would know which products are required and consumed. One's ability to interact with objects could be altered remotely based on immediate or present needs, in accordance with existing end-user agreements.
Some major challenges have to be addressed:
· Complex value chain
· Lack of standardization to build, deploy & manage IoT applications
· No consistency in managing security of data and identity of devices
· Need to analyze Fast data in real time
· No integration platform to convert data into business automation
Oracle launched their Iot platform at Openworld 2013 with this focus:
· Standardize application development for devices, enterprise, web and mobile apps
· Analyze IoT data to achieve real-time visibility
· Integrate IoT data with enterprise applications & cloud infrastructure
· Secure data & identity across devices and enterprise data center
Oracle view of IoT platform:
Devices/Gateways:
· The Java language and runtime platform are popular in the embedded space due to portability across hardware platforms, Security, Remote Updates, and readily available developer community.
· Oracle Java Embedded Suite adds database, RESTful web services, Servlet facilities and Java EE technology to Oracle Java SE Embedded. This allows creation of Mobile & Web applications for the Gateway, as well as, REST based communication with the backend.
· Oracle Event Processing (OEP) for Java Embedded allows filtering & aggregation of Device Data at the Gateway e.g. OEP can send hourly average temperature in a warehouse to backend but start immediate notification for a “too hot” reading.
IoT Application Server & Device Communication
· Oracle WebLogic Server provides RASP infrastructure for running all Java based components of IoT platform – Device Communication, Device Event Processing, Device Integration and IoT Application.
· WebLogic provides out of the box support for HTTP/REST, JMS based Device Communication. For other Message Exchange protocols/formats custom implementation or partner adapters need to be used e.g. Eurotech, SeeControl.
· Oracle Exalogic provides scalability & performance not available on traditional platforms e.g. Oracle Event Processing can process 1Million Events/sec on one node of Exalogic.
Device Event Processing
· Applications dealing with large scale device events needing milli second response after complex processing (e.g. identifying a stolen car from city wide camera feed) use a Device Event Processing Module (Fast Data).
· OEP on Server complements Gateway OEP in doing complex processing using context data through Data Cartridges – Java, Spatial, JDBC, Hadoop, NoSQL. Runs In-Memory (no Disc I/O) using data cached in Coherence.
· OEP framework is developer friendly and allows extensible & configurable processing using CQL. Event Processing Output
o Filtering - Stream filtered for specific criteria e.g. Patient Temperature > 100F
o Correlation & Aggregation - Scrolling, time-based metrics e.g. Avg Temp.
o Pattern Matching - Notification of detected event patterns e.g. Temperature change occurs within 15 minute window of medicine intake.
Device Integration
· Oracle Service Bus connects, mediates, and manages interactions between Device Communication/Event Processing Modules & Business Services. Adds a virtualization & transformation layer.
· Designed for mission critical (Reliable Messaging), High Volume (Clustered Deployments, Message Throttling) environment. Built-in management (SLA Dashboard) and monitoring capabilities.
· Support many different transports – HTTP/REST, HTTP/SOAP, WS-I, JMS. Custom transport creation using SDK. Several Oracle & Partner Application Adaptors for out of the box connectivity to Business Applications (Oracle, SAP, Siebel etc.).
IoT Application
· Oracle BPM Suite for processes
o Visualize Device Data Real Time in BAM
o Create Business Rules around Data (If Then, Decision Tables, Industry Specific)
o Act (Human Assignment, Notification, Approval, Integrate with partner app) on Data with flexible process
· ADF/Webcenter for UI:
o Create Rich User Interaction with ADF & WebCenter
o Develop Mobile Applications via exposed RESTful interfaces to the platform and ADF Mobile
o Out of the box integration with Oracle Identity Management for Authentication & Authorization
Device Management
· Oracle Identity Management provides a LDAP store for storing identities of low volume, high processing Devices like ECG Machines. Oracle NoSQL Database is a scalable high performance, reliable store for High Volume Devices like Sensors.
· Oracle Access Manager Mobile and Social provides Authentication for Devices. Oracle API gateway ensures Business Services are adequately protected from Devices while also providing Audit.
· Device software written in Java can be written once and deployed in all devices without physical access to the Devices. Oracle Partners like Hitachi CTA provide provisioning and software lifecycle management based on OSGi (Dynamic Module System for Java).

Entscheidungen im Unternehmen – mit der Oracle Plattform auf dem Weg in die Zukunft der Arbeit
Was diese Themen zusammenführt sind die Fragestellungen, die heute an die IT und uns im Unternehmen gestellt werden: Wie können wir die Risiken in unseren Prozessen minimieren? Welche Lösungsstrategien bewähren sich – und warum? Wie können wir Daten und Analysen so aufbereiten, dass wir in unseren Prozessen und im Management bessere Entscheidungen treffen - Entscheidungen, die auf fundierten Grundlagen abgesichert sind?
Unter diese Fragestellungen stellen wir die DOAG SIG Middleware im Januar. Bei diesen Themen zeigt sich die Mächtigkeit der Oracle-Plattform. Wenn sie noch nicht komplett ist, so nähert sie sich dem doch an. Und ist damit das Ökosystem, die Plattform, auf der bald Prozess Engines, Rule Engines, BAM und BI Dashboards unter der Haube eng zusammenarbeiten um dem Prozessverantwortlichen das Entscheidungs-Cockpit der Zukunft an die Hand zu geben.

First two chapters of “Industrial SOA” articles series have been published both on OTN and Service Technology Magazine
Industrial SOA is a 14-part article series focused on service orientation, written collaboratively by a group of recognized experts and community leaders in service oriented architecture. I'm really happy and proud to be part of that group.
SOA and service-orientation have laid the foundation for a variety of emergent service technology innovations, while the original building blocks of SOA and service-orientation continue to evolve by embracing fundamental service technologies, concepts and practices. These new technology innovations do not replace service-orientation; they use it as their basis. Service-orientation continues to evolve towards a factory approach, towards industrializing integrated platforms, such as BI, master data management (MDM), mobile front-ends, BPM, adaptive processes, Big Data and Cloud Computing – all of which add architectural layers upon SOA-based infrastructure. All of these technologies can interface via standardized data and functions, published as service contracts, in order to avoid redundancy – that's service-orientation.
The articles are & will be published both on Oracle Technology Network (OTN) and Service Technology Magazine (STM).
Available and upcoming Articles:
Preface : Industrial SOA (OTN, STM)
Chapter 1: SOA Blueprint: A Toolbox for Architects (OTN, STM)
Chapter 2: Project Categories
Chapter 3: Service Categories
Chapter 4: SOA Maturity
Chapter 5: Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)
Chapter 6: Security
Chapter 7: Transactions and Compensation
Chapter 8: SOA and User Interaction (UI)
Chapter 9: Mobile
Chapter 10: Events
Chapter 11: MDM and SOA
Chapter 12: BPM and ACM
Chapter 13: SOA and Cloud
Thomas Erl, Editor of Service Technology Magazine: "Welcome to this special issue in which we are launching an extensive article series dedicated to the exploration of contemporary SOA topics and issues. This refreshing view of what is termed as "Industrial SOA" highlights some of the more recent innovations in practice that will especially be of interest to those who want to learn some techniques that go beyond the academic essentials. This issue begins with a preface by Oracle veteran Juergen Kress, and then moves on to the first of twelve articles in the series. Subsequent issues of the Service Technology Magazine will publish new articles, which will take the series into early 2014. These articles were authored by a group of SOA experts that have received wide-spread recognition throughout Europe and have been nicknamed the "Masons of SOA". One of the masons, Clemens Utschig, was also a co-author of the SOA Manifesto back in 2009."
