Main difference betweeen 10g to 11g in SOA suite

SCA architecture was followed in 11g and not in 10g In 11g one can put all our project SOA components in composite.xml file and deploy to single server, where in 10g we have to deploy each component to the respective server i.e !S" to !S" server, "#!$ to "#!$ Server% i% "asically all the SOA components li&e "#!$, !S" 'alled (ediator in 11g%, ) O*S( are +rought into one place in 11g using S'A composite concept. ii% ,he major difference +etween 10g ) 11g would +e the app server container. 10g +y default runs on O'-. while 11g runs on *e+logic Server. iii% In 10g every "#!$ is a separate project, +ut in 11g several components can ma&e 1 project as S'A. iv% In 10g consoles are separate for "#!$ and !S", +ut in 11g !nterprise (anager contains all. v% In 10g we have to deploy each project separately, +ut in 11g we can deploy S'A which contains all.

If an OutOf(emory!rror with this error is thrown it may re?uire using utilities on the operating system to diagnose the issue further. !xamples of issues that may not +e related to the application are when the operating system is configured with insufficient swap space, or when there is another process on the system that is consuming all memory resources. If neither of these issues is the cause then it is possi+le that the application is failed due to native lea&L for example, application or li+rary code is continuously allocating memory +ut is not releasing it to the operating system.

(emory $ea&s/ ,he .J( is responsi+le for automatic memory management, which reclaims the unused memory for the application. ;owever, if an application &eeps a reference to an o+ject that it no longers needs, the o+ject cannot +e gar+age collected and will occupy space in the heap until the o+ject is removed. Such unintentional o+ject retention is referred to as a memory lea&. If the application lea&s large amounts of memory, it will eventually run out of memory, and an OutOf(emory!rror will +e thrown.

In addition, gar+age collection may ta&e place more fre?uently as the application attempts to free up space, thus causing the application to slow down.

1. Is Oracle SOA same as Oracle Musion (iddleware Oracle Musion (iddleware is a collection of standardsG+ased software products that spans a range of tools and services from .1!! and developer tools, to integration services, +usiness intelligence, colla+oration, and content management. Oracle Musion (iddleware offers complete support for development, deployment, and management. Oracle SOA Suite is an essential middleware layer of Oracle Musion (iddleware. It provides a complete set of Service Infrastructure components for designing, deploying, and managing composite applications 1. *hat is SOA Uovernance ServiceGOriented Architecture SOA% governance is a concept used for activities related to exercising control over services in an SOA 5. ;ow to increase performance increase in +pel <+ Adapter0file adapter% *e can increase the performance +y writing indexes and se?uences.

Storing the process in a data+ase preserves the process and prevents any loss of state or relia+ility if a system shuts down or a networ& pro+lem occurs. ,his feature increases +oth "#!$ process relia+ility and scala+ility. Zou can also use it to support clustering and failover. 3. *hat are the various elements in *S<$6 Jarious elements are/ ,ypes, messages, operation, port, +indings and Services. ,ypes[ a container for data type definitions using some type system such as HS<%. (essage[ an a+stract, typed definition of the data +eing communicated. Operation[ an a+stract description of an action supported +y the service. #ort ,ype[an a+stract set of operations supported +y one or more endpoints. "inding[ a concrete protocol and data format specification for a particular port type. #ort[ a single endpoint defined as a com+ination of a +inding and a networ& address. Service[ a collection of related endpoints. 2. *hy do we need to have messages in *S<$, arenYt operations and types enough to

descri+e the parameters for a we+ service (essages consist of one or more logical parts. !ach part is associated with a type from some type system using a messageGtyping attri+ute. ,he set of messageGtyping attri+utes is extensi+le. \,he element descri+es the data +eing exchanged +etween the *e+ service providers and consumers. \ !ach *e+ Service has two messages/ input and output. \,he input descri+es the parameters for the *e+ Service and the output descri+es the return data from the *e+ Service. \!ach message contains Kero or more parameters, one for each parameter of the *e+ ServiceYs function. \!ach parameter associates with a concrete type defined in the container element. So descri+ing the parameters cannot performed +y operations and types this is the main need of (essages A. *hat is structure of SOA# message6 ,he structure of a SOA# message/ A SOA# message is encoded as an H($ document, consisting of an element, which contains an optional element, and a mandatory element. ,he element, contained within the , is used for reporting errors. ,he SOA# envelope ,he SOA# is the root element in every SOA# message, and contains two child elements, an optional and a mandatory . ,he SOA# header ,he SOA# is an optional su+Gelement of the SOA# envelope, and is used to pass applicationGrelated information that is to +e processed +y SOA# nodes along the message path. ,he SOA# +ody ,he SOA# is a mandatory su+Gelement of the SOA# envelope, which contains information intended for the ultimate recipient of the message. ,he SOA# fault ,he SOA# is a su+Gelement of the SOA# +ody, which is used for reporting errors. *ith the exception of the element, which is contained in the of a SOA# message, H($ elements within the and the are defined +y the applications that ma&e use of them, although the SOA# specification imposes some constraints on their structure.

Ser,ice Oriented Architecture1SOA2

SOAG Service Oriented Architecture 1.*hat is SOA6 SOA is a architecture for +uilding +usiness applications using loosely coupled services which act li&e +lac& +oxes and can +e orchestrated to achieve a specific functionality +y lin&ing together. Expln: SOA components are loosely coupled. *hen we say loosely coupled means every service is self contained and exist in alone logically. Mor instance we ta&e the Opayment gatewayR service and attach it to a different system. SOA services are black boxes. In SOA services hide their inner complexities. ,hey only interact using messages and send services depending on those messages. "y visualiKing services as +lac& +oxes services +ecome more loosely coupled.

You can receive a connection timeout error under circumstances such as the following: You run a SOA composite application with a large payload that takes more than 30 seconds to process. You are invoking a stress test using a large payload from the Test Web Service page of Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control. You are passing a large number of message files (one million) into a composite with a file adapter service. You are retrieving instance and fault count metrics in Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control. To avoid receiving timeout errors, increase the transaction timeout property as follows: 1. Log into Oracle WebLogic Administration Console. 2. Click JTA. 3. Change the value of Timeout Seconds (the default is 30). 4. Click Save.

SOA 11g - SOA Data :ase Schema Purging

This post is about how to control the SOA database schema and its growth while running SOA Suite 11g. All the instructions given here are specifically for SOA Suite 11g version 11.1.1.4. From this version onward there are new scripts provided by Oracle and only updated scripts should be used as this version has schema and table structure changes. Purging composites instances in Oracle SOA SUITE 11g There are several ways to purge large amounts of instances in SOA Suite 11g database dehydration storage! 1. "y dropping the SOA Suite repository and ne#t$ to recreate it using %&' creation utility providing e#actly the same credentials. (. 'sing )nterprise *anager console! +elete with options ,. +eleting large number of instances using purge script Dropping the SOA Suite repository Using R U! +ropping the SOA Suite repository using %&' is straight forward. -ust run the %&' utility select .+rop. instead of .&reate. and follow the installer.

Using Enterprise Manager onsole! /ere$ first option$ using )nterprise *anager console is o0 for small amount of instances where you want to remove one or two thousand instances. For large number of instances it will throw Time out error. There is a option provided in )* console for increasing the timeout period but still its not enough for large amount of data.

Deleting "arge #um$er O% Instances Using Purge Script! This is very useful and straight forward process to clean up SOA database schema. 1n real world $ server are receiving millions of re2uests in a day and 0eeping these all data as instances in SOA Suite database schema is very costly. 1t can affect a performance of the server up to some e#tent. After few days or month probably you will start receiving table space errors as allotted all the table space is already been used by the instances created within SOA database schema. For this reason you need to plan your tablesapce accordingly and generally it should be in between 34 5" 64 5" in loaded server. And still it re2uires regular purging for data on the SOA database.
