| Oracle SOA Suite |
| |
| 1. What is SOA? |
| SOA is a concept meant to integrate numerous software applications with some common interfaces. It is essentially a collection of Web Services, communicating with one another, through XML.
Web Service – Web Service is programmable application logic accessible using standard Internet Protocols (Web protocols HTTP & data formats XML).
XML – It is a language that allows exchange of data between departments within the organization and with other organizations (heterogeneous DBs & Systems) in a system-independent manner.
|
| |
| 2. What are the components of a SOA? |
| 1) Service provider: A service provider offers a service and registers itself with a service registry to allow discovery by a service consumer.
2) Service consumer: A service consumer requests a service from a service provider and supplies it with data.
3) Service discovery: As with a basic Web Services architecture (which does not include components like Enterprise Service Bus and Business Process Management), a services repository is important to dynamically discover services that can execute a certain task.
4) Service binding: Once a service consumer has discovered an appropriate provider, a binding is established at run-time.
5) Service Orchestration: Sequencing services & providing additional logic to process data.

|
| |
| 19. What are the standards of SOA? |
| The standards of SOA include Basic WebServices-related Standards and WS* standards.
Basic WebServices-related Standards
SOAP – Simple Object Access Protocol is used for exchanging XML-based messages across a network, typically using HTTP.
WSDL – Web Services Description Language is an XML format used to publish and describe the operations & messages required to call a Web Service.
UDDI – Universal Description, Discovery and Integration provides a platform-independent protocol and XML-based registry, which lists business services and information on the internet.
WS* Standards
WS-Reliability – WS-Reliability is a SOAP-based specification, managed by the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS – is the primary standard body focused on developing & ratifying web service standards) that fulfills reliable messaging requirements critical to some applications of Web Services.
WS-Security – Web Services Security is a protocol that provides a way to apply security to web services.
WS-Transactions - The Web Services Transactions specifications define mechanisms for transactional interoperability between Web services domains and provide a means to compose transactional qualities of service into Web services applications.
WS-Coordination- A web services specification describes an extensible framework for providing protocols that coordinate the actions of distributed applications.
WS-Context- WS-Context is a specification to provide a definition of a structuring mechanism and a software service definition for organizing and sharing context across multiple execution endpoints. This enables context information, such as WS-Addressing information, which communicated via SOAP headers to be propagated across endpoints. WS-Addressing specifies a mechanism for web services to share addressing information.
|
| |
| 20. What are the benefits that a customer gains from the SOA standards? |
| As a result of the standards, SOA can offer the following benefits to the customer:

|
| |
| 21. What is Oracle Database 10g? |
| Oracle 10g is Oracle Corp.'s newest RDBMS server. Oracle is touting the 'g' in 10g as the "grid" database. A grid database is a system that can leverage the computing resources of a grid. A grid is many different servers, each with their own memory, CPUs and other resources. The idea is to use resources on an under-used server to provide more computing resources to the database.
|
| |
| 22. How Oracle Database 10g used to manage enterprise information? |
| In addition to providing numerous quality and performance enhancements, Oracle Database 10g significantly reduces the costs of managing the IT environment, with a simplified install, greatly reduced configuration and management requirements, and automatic performance diagnosis and SQL tuning.
These and other automated management capabilities help improve DBA and developer productivity and efficiency. And with Release 2, Oracle's focus on improving efficiencies and reducing the cost of information management continues.
|
| |
| 23. What are the life cycles that involves in the development of SOA applications? |
| The components of the life cycle consist of:
Develop Services – Develop enterprise applications as services.
Compose Services – involves development of new services using Web-Service technology such as creating an Enterprise JavaBean (EJB) that is exposed as a Web Service, or creating APIs that wrap legacy system functionality as a service. For example, using J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA) enables legacy systems to be accessible to Java EE applications, which can then be exposed as a Web Service.
Orchestrate Services – Create business spanning multiple services. For example, travel agents coordinate the process of booking the airline tickets, accommodation, and other services such as car rental for their customers.
Discover & access services – Find and access services, anytime and anywhere, such that SOA applications can locate and invoke a service on demand.
Provision and manage services – Service providers need ways to version, monitor, and manage services.
Secure and federate services – Service providers must also have ways to manage securing and joining of services across domains.

| 24.
What is SOA Enablement?
|
| Service oriented architecture enablement is an emerging technology concept that goes beyond Web services management (facilitates the deployment of web services) to unlock the value of web services. The promise of Web services is to enable the agile enterprise through service reuse within an SOA.
Without an SOA enablement solution, much of this promise falls by the wayside as developers are unable to comply with changing security & management policy and cannot keep track of changing service interfaces and locations.
SOA software’s industry-leading Service Manager delivers a comprehensive SOA enablement solution that offers all the capabilities of traditional Web Services Management solutions and adds:
▪ Dynamic discovery and real-time implementation of service requirements for security:
∙ Encryption
∙ Signature
∙ Authentication
∙ Authorization
∙ Message auditing
▪ Dynamic discovery of, and binding to, service location
▪ Powerful load-balancing and high-availability
▪ Real-time monitoring and enforcement of identity-based service level agreement contracts
▪ An adaptive, self-healing network of services

| |
| 5. How ECM will be useful to manage the complete life cycle of an organization’s content? |
| The four primary areas that ECM uses to manage the content of an organization & to achieve business goals are: Compliance, Collaboration, Continuity, and Cost.
▪ Compliance - Developing a compliance initiative properly will tap many areas of expertise, particularly legal, IT, and records management; all in support of the overall business objectives of the organization.
▪ Collaboration – It is the art of working together that allows individuals with complementary, or overlapping, areas of expertise to create better results faster than before.
▪ Cost - ECM tools can make your organization more efficient and drive down the cost of doing business. These technologies provide value to your organization by more efficiently organizing information for its subsequent retrieval, use, and, ultimately, disposition.
▪ Continuity - ECM technologies allow the creation of centralized repositories where all vital corporate information can reside, thereby it will enhance your ability not only to recover during a system failure but will enable you to better define the priority of your business content.
|
| |
| 6. What are the benefits an Organization gains in preserving both structured & unstructured contents by ECM Systems? |
| ECM systems are designed to manage both structured and unstructured content, so that an organization, such as a business or governmental agency, can more effectively meet business goals (increase profit or improve the efficient use of budgets), serve its customers (as a competitive advantage, or to improve responsiveness), and protect itself (against non-compliance, law-suits, uncoordinated departments or turnover within the organization). |
| |
| 7. What is meant by Web Content Management? |
| A web content management system is content management system software implemented as a web application used for creating and managing HTML content and their associated images. |
| |
| 8. What are the benefits of ECM that distinguishes it from WCM? |
| ▪ ECM as Integrative middleware - ECM is used to overcome the restrictions of former vertical applications and island architectures offers the requisite infrastructure for the new world of web-based IT. EAI Enterprise Application Integration and SOA Service-Oriented Archietecture will play an important role in the implementation and use of ECM.
▪ ECM Components as Independent services - ECM is used to manage Information without regard to the source or the required use, for any given functionality only one general service is available, thus avoiding difficulties to maintain parallel functions. Therefore, standards for interfaces connecting different services will play an important role in the implementation of ECM.
▪ ECM as uniform repository for all type of Informations - All applications deliver their content to a single repository, which in turn provides needed information to all applications without any redundancies. Therefore, Content Integration and ILM Information Lifecycle Management will play an important role in the implementation and use of ECM.
|
| |
| 9. What is an ECM Suit? |
| Suit – A suit is a collection of suitable but compatible components that provides a solution to an overall scenario, in which the components can also be used individually and independently of one another.
ECM Suit - ECM is a natural for suites. ECM comprises five major components: Capture, manage, Deliver, Store and Preservation. Manage includes the subcomponents Collaboration, Records Management, Workflow/Business Process Management, Document Management and Web Content Management. Thus, ECM is something of a Jack of all trades that also tries to over trendy areas like ILM (Information Lifecycle Management), DRT (Document Related Technologies) and parts of KM (Knowledge Management). All this ground can be covered only by suites.
|
| |
| 10. What kind of ECM solutions exists on the market? |
| There are various ECM solutions that can be customized to the nature of content that needs to be managed. This includes web content management, transactional content management, integrated document management, public-oriented content management and learning content management. Many times, the best ECM solutions combine these individual systems to provide a holistic, comprehensive content management system; this is called a "unified content strategy."
|
| |
| 11. What technologies used/required? |
| To run ECM, you typically require a server running an operating system – Windows, Linux, etc; Custom applications – Tomcat/Struts/JSF/Spring/Hibernate, .net, Java/J2EE, IBM MQ/Open LDAP, Portal-JSR168 and a database – Oracle, MY SQL etc.
