Summary
In this chapter, we provided a snapshot of some of the important aspects of
Oracle SOA Suite 11g administration and the capabilities that can be leveraged
to effectively manage and monitor the SOA infrastructure.
To summarize this chapter's key takeaways:
•
One of the main challenges of monitoring an SOA infrastructure is the need to
obtain an end-to-end view of loosely coupled services that may span multiple
disparate systems.
•
Oracle SOA Suite 11g is a complete, integrated, best-of-breed, and hot-plug-
gable product set that helps to deliver robust, agile, and reliable SOA solu-
tions.
•
Oracle SOA Suite 11g is 100 percent standards-based, and can run on any
number of J2EE application servers (for example, WebLogic Server, We-
bSphere, and JBoss) and certified database management systems (for ex-
ample, Oracle database, DB2, and SQL Server).
•
Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control allows you to both
manage and monitor all components and services within the Oracle SOA
Suite 11g stack, from a single web-based console.
•
OPMN, DMS, and ODL are internal services used to automatically gather and
aggregate metrics that are ultimately reported by Oracle Enterprise Manager
Fusion Middleware Control.
•
Deployment of SOA code is often one of the more challenging activities an
administrator faces, but through the use of configuration plans and out-of-the-
box ant scripts shipped with Oracle SOA Suite 11g, this task is finally made
easier.
•
Oracle SOA Suite 11g has been designed to allow easy integration with con-
tinuous integration tools and engines by provisioning out-of-the-box build, de-
ploy, and management scripts.
•
Oracle SOA Suite 11g provides the ability to move test to production envir-
onments easily, without the need to rely on external or third-party tools. Ad-
ministrators no longer have to reapply configurations or customizations when
building higher up environments.
