New features for Operations

8

• Auto Purge: Automatically purge old data past the retention point periodically on schedule. AUTOMATED OPERATIONS.

• Modularity Profile: Reduce startup time and memory by starting up only components used (selected by selecting a profile). PERFORMANCE

• Lazy Loading: Reduce startup time by loading composites only on first use. PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT

• Exception centered management console: Rework of the EM console to be centered around exception conditions instead of business as usual. RAPID PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION/RESOLUTION.

• Work Managers: Switch to work managers to simplify and improve thread tuning. SIMPLIFIED TUNING.

• Flow Trace: Switch to flow trace where multiple composites are shown in a single trace for better troubleshooting. SIMPLIFIED TROUBLESHOOTING.

New features for operationsAlready in 12.1.3

• Availability– Composite Instance Patching – patch long running instances immediately.– Automatic Service Migration (ASM) – faster failover

• Performance– In-Memory SOA – Optimized performance, scalability, reduced database growth. – Integration Workload Statistics – Performance Diagnostic tool similar to DB AWR. – Parallel Deployment – faster startup

• Resiliency– Circuit Breaker – Improved resiliency

when downstream services go down.

10

New features for operations in 12.2.1Oracle Integration Continuous Availability

A license to Oracle WebLogic Server Continuous Availability is a prerequisite to license and use Oracle Integration Continuous Availability. If using only In-Memory SOA, a license to Oracle WebLogic Server Continuous Availability is not required.

11

Oracle WebLogic Server 12.2.1Continuous Availability

• Automated cross-domain transaction recoveryProvides automatic recovery of XA transactions across an entire domain, or across an entire site with servers running in a different domain or at a different site.

• Zero Downtime PatchingProvides an automated mechanism to orchestrate the rollout of patches while avoiding downtime or loss of sessions.

• WebLogic Server Multitenant live resource group migrationProvides the ability to migrate partition resource groups that are running from one cluster/server to another within a domain without impacting the application users.

12

Oracle WebLogic Server 12.2.1Continuous Availability

• Coherence federated cachingReplicates cache data asynchronously across multiple geographically distributed clusters.

• Coherence GoldenGate HotCacheDetects and reflects database changes in cache in real time.

• Oracle Traffic DirectorRoutes HTTP, HTTPS, and TCP traffic to application servers and web servers on the network.

• Oracle Site GuardEnables administrators to automate complete site switchover or failover.

13

Circuit breakerOverview

• Automatically suspend upstream endpoints when a downstream endpoint is down

• Automatically resumes any suspended service when the downstream endpoint comes back up.

• Prevents fault buildup in the server. No need to bulk-recover faulted instances

• Supported for– Web Service: Incoming requests are rejected for the duration that

the Web service is suspended.– Adapters: JMS, AQ, DB, File and FTP adapters can be automatically

suspended in this release.– EDN Subscribers: The EDN subscriber closest to the downstream

endpoint gets suspended.

Patch running instancesWhy?

• A long-running BPEL contains a bug

• Certain long running instances have not reached this bug yet

• If you redeploy a new version, it will not fix running instances; only new ones

• If you deploy the same version, your instances will become stale

Patching a process will allow to fix running instances and prevent the error from occurring!

18

Patch running instancesWhat?

https://blogs.oracle.com/integration/entry/patching_soa_composite_instances_in

Compatible changes include

• Non-schema related XSLT changes

• Changes to fault policy, sensor data, and analytics data

• Compatible BPEL changes such as sync/async invoke, transformation activity, assign operations, etc.

• JCA Adapter configuration properties

• Modifications of token values in composite references

Incompatible changes include

• Deleting or renaming composite artifacts

• Updating binding properties

• Changes to a WSDL and Schema definition

• Changes to XQuery mappings

• Changes to BPEL receive inputs, structured activities, assign mapper source/target/skip conditions

19

Patch running instancesHow?

https://blogs.oracle.com/integration/entry/patching_soa_composite_instances_in

JDeveloper has a new role, the SOA Patch Developer• Only allows compatible changes to be made• patch.xml is created in project_directory/SOA/SCA-INF

to track changes

20

Patch running instancesHow?

Oracle made a typo here

21

Patch running instancesHow?

• Create a patch JAR with – Jdeveloper– sca_packagePatch– ant-sca-package

• WLST sca_validatePatch and sca_patchComposite can be used to validate and apply a patch

sca_validatePatch('http://localhost:8001', 'weblogic', 'welcome1', 'sca_HelloWorldWsAddrCaller_patch.jar')

22

Automatic Service Migration (ASM) support

• Leverages WebLogic ASM feature• Requires datasource

for leasing• On failure migratable singleton

services are transferred to other server (JTA, JMS)

• Failing back to original serveris not supported

https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1221/core/CMEDG/GUID-079347E5-9DF0-44A9-9BF3-AF7C13D631B3.htm#CMEDG-GUID-6594C41E-ED8C-4E56-8578-B67250961831

23

Integration Workload Statistics

• Comparable reports to DB AWR (Automatic Workload Repository)

• Helps with performance tuning and tuning

• Takes periodic snapshotssaves them to database

• Allows generation of reports (XSLT, CSV, HTML)

https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1221/soasuite/administer/GUID-266118F3-8B14-4896-8081-A0A489FD0CEC.htm

24

Integration Workload Statistics

• IWS reports metrics– System resource usage– Composite statistics– Statistics for internal system queues– Statistics for synchronous and asynchronous business

processes– Endpoint statistics

• The components supported– BPEL Service Engine– EDN (Event Delivery Network)– Web Service Binding– File Adapter– JMS Adapter– FTP Adapter– DB Adapter– AQ Adapter– MQ adapter.

• Not yet supported– REST binding

25

DataSource statistics

JVM statistics

Composite activity statistics

27

Integration Workload StatisticsExample process to measure

• Simple Hello World process– Using REST Binding or SOAP– Using untyped JSON or XML

message (in BPEL)– Containing an XPATH assign

or a JavaScript assign

28

Integration Workload StatisticsEndpoints and wires

HelloWorldXML and HelloWorldXMLJS are SOAP servicesHelloWorldJS and HelloWorldJSXML are JSON services

Oracle Integration Continuous AvailabilityIn-memory SOA. Why?

• Improves performance and scalability (especially if SOAINFRA DB is the bottleneck)

• Reduces SOAINFRA database growth

• Less purging required

33

Oracle Integration Continuous AvailabilityIn-memory SOA. How?

• Leverage Coherence cache to run your non-transactional (non-XA) business processes in memory

• Only for short-running processes

• Set at component level

• Persistence settings:– Immediate. Same as In-memory not enabled– Deferred. Audit data eventually ends up in

database– Fault. Audit data only ends up in database in

case of a fault

34

Oracle Integration Continuous AvailabilityIn-memory SOA

Transactions are not supported

• Do you need transactions when you can use compensation handlers?

• Transactions spanning multiple servicesare difficult anyway• timeout settings on different levels• XA datasources• WS-AT headers and coördination,

node trust settings, etc

38

New features for developersNew in 12.2.1

• JavaScript in SOA composites

• JavaScript in Service Bus

• REST support (native, end-to-end)

• Debugger enhancements

39

JavaScript support in SOA SuiteThe JavaScript engine

• Rhino is an open-source implementation of JavaScript written entirely in Java

• Mozilla Rhino v1.7R3– is included in JDK7– can be used with JDK8 (SOA Suite 12.2.1) (e.g. http://andreas.haufler.info/2015/04/using-rhino-with-java-8.html)

– ECMAScript 5 support– Partial JavaScript 1.8 support

• ECMAScript 5 vs JavaScript 1.8– JavaScript 1.8 is Mozilla's implementation of ECMAScript 5 with added features– a superset of the ECMAScript specification

• Rhino 1.6 and greater supports ECMA-357 ECMAScript for XML (E4X)– Can be used server-side in SOA Suite 12.2.1– Native XML in JavaScript

40

JavaScript support in SOA SuiteWhy Rhino and not Nashorn

• "ECMAScript 5.1 language specification doesn't define multithreading semantics for programs written in the language; they are inherently single threaded. If we were to make them thread safe, we'd be sacrificing single threaded performance for a behaviour that falls outside of the specification.“

• Nashorn library internals themselves are thread safe, but JavaScript programs executing within a single engine instance are not thread safe. This is different from Rhino. Using Nashorn, you probably need to take steps to protect your ScriptEngine from concurrent access, which might explain the unpredictable behavior you observe.
