Introduc6on

Greg Kirkendall Solu6on Architect, Fusion5 Australia Middleware Project Lead, JDE EnterpriseOne 12+ years JDE Consul6ng Experience Numerous integra6on projects Leads design and implementa6on of SOA/ERP interoperability solu6ons at Fusion5


Objec6ves

•  Provide a high level understanding of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) design principles.

•  Create a beTer understanding of the licensing impact of design choices.

•  Provide a transla6on between terms used in SOA and terms used in business.


Background

•  Australia Post is used as an example only. •  Just using a familiar process, shipping packages, as a way of visualizing SOA.

•  Although Oracle products are referenced throughout the presenta6on, you are not limited to Oracle products.


The Communica6on Challenge

•  Language – “Geekspeak” to business human. •  The Architecture is invisible even when it is completed.

•  Always more than one way to do things, which way is the “best”.


What Does SOA Create?

•  A data distribu6on system! •  Just like Australia Post, the type of package, the des6na6on and the transport cost determine how a package is routed.

•  A SOA solu6on has to solve many of the same issues as delivering a package to your doorstep.


Let’s Deliver Packages


Packages

•  Oversize packages require special handling. •  Are delivered by long haul truck and cargo van. •  If a package is not delivered, it can remain in the truck, cargo van or distribu6on center.


Packages

•  Packages are your business data. •  Could be an invoice, purchase order, customer informa6on, etc.

•  Oversize packages are binary documents like a Spreadsheet, Word document or PDF.


Distribu6on Centres

•  Uses long haul trucks for delivery to other distribu6on centers.

•  Can handle normal and oversized packages efficiently.

•  Usually have simple rules for package delivery.


Distribu6on Centres

•  Distribu6on Centers are your Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). One ESB product is Oracle Service Bus.

•  They are used transport data between your applica6ons.

•  Can use queues to stage data for sending and receiving.


Ci6es

•  Use cargo vans for local delivery, long haul trucks for delivery to other ci6es.

•  A capitol city controls distribu6on to other ci6es.

•  Post and receive delivery of packages.


Ci6es

•  These are your packaged, custom and SOA applica6ons.

•  Include ERP system like Oracle eBusiness or Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.

•  SOA Suite Applica6ons •  In house custom applica6ons


Local Delivery

•  Use cargo vans for delivery •  Can aTempt to deliver mul6ple 6mes •  Can have simple or complex rules for package delivery

•  Handle normal size packages efficiently


Local Delivery

•  Use SOA Suite for data delivery •  Can have very complex rules regarding how the data is delivered and who it is being delivered to.

•  Can be “idempotent”


Trucks

•  Smaller capacity cargo vans are used for local delivery in Ci6es.

•  Larger capacity long haul trucks deliver packages between ci6es using the Distribu6on Centres.

•  Oversize items require special arrangement and can be delivered by long haul truck.


Trucks

•  Trucks represent the amount of data that can be processed per CPU.

•  Oracle Service Bus can handle more data per CPU than Oracle SOA Suite.

•  Oversized items represent binary aTachments like PDFs, Excel and Word documents.


Let’s Build Some Solu6ons!


Business Requirement #1

•  Your ERP and CRM system need to share customer data on a regular basis.

•  When a customer is created in the CRM, they need to be created in the ERP as well.

•  Updates in either system need to be sent to the other.


Solu6on #1



•  Management decides that sales people need a portal for entering new sales leads.

•  S6ll need to keep the ERP and CRP system updated as before.


Solu6on #2



•  Management has decided that the current method of lead to customer tracking is not working.

•  IT has been tasked with crea6ng a lead to customer workflow with repor6ng using web-‐based screens.


Solu6on #3


Glossary •  SOA = Service Oriented Architecture •  OSB = Oracle Service Bus •  ESB = Enterprise Service Bus •  ERP = Enterprise Resource Planning Applica6on •  CRM = Customer Rela6onship Management Applica6on •  Package = Business Data •  Oversize Package = PDFs, Word Documents, etc •  Long Haul Truck = OSB CPU •  Cargo Van = SOA Suite CPU •  Distribu6on Centre = Oracle Service Bus •  Local Delivery = Processes and Applica6ons using Oracle SOA Suite •  City = Packaged and Custom Enterprise Applica6ons •  Shipping and Receiving Docks = Queues •  Package Redelivery = Idempotent behaviour
