Oracle Event Processing 12c Solution overview

Why use Oracle Event Processing?

45

2014 Trivadis
Oracle SOA Suite 12c - News & Overview
September 2014

high throughput and low latency processing

continuously streaming data

Real-time correlation between multiple

incoming data sources.

Time-sensitive alerts, aggregations and

calculations.

Needs to look for patterns in data stream

Data does not need to be stored, if there is

nothing of interest in it.

Problem is more easily solved by analyzing

before storing in DB.

Oracle Event Processing 12c Whats new

New development environment (JDeveloper)
Big Data extensions
Library of patterns to choose from (i.e. missing
event rule)
Easily connects with SOA infrastructure (incl.

Upgrading to 12c SOA Domains

Upgrade Assistant for SOA Domains
In-place domain upgrade and re-configuration
No need to re-deploy composites after upgrade
Long-running instances resume after upgrade
Prerequisites
Starting point: SOA Suite 11.1.1.6 or 11.1.1.7 ( supported only)
64-bit OS and JVM
Dehydration store DB must be supported version 11g or 12c

51

2014 Trivadis
Oracle SOA Suite 12c - News & Overview
September 2014

Upgrading to 12c SOA Domains

Unsupported scenarios
No-downtime upgrades there will be downtime during automatic
upgrade process
For 12c features, open 11g projects in 12c JDeveloper
Developer domain upgrades not supported
Alternative scenarios
Create new 12c domain and run it in parallel to 11g domain. Let longrunning processes finish on old domain
Export / Import composites to 12c
No downtime on production environment
52

2014 Trivadis

Migration from Eclipse design time to JDeveloper design time with
import/export
If OWSM Policy Manager was not deployed in 11g, there is a preupgrade step to do so

53

2014 Trivadis

Upgrading to 12c BAM Domains

BAM 12c based on a new architecture and many components were rewritten includes new schema, new data objects, business query and dashboard
metadata, query processing using OEP, new ADF charts etc.
Significant differences between 11g and 12c in terms of schemas, binaries etc.
Dashboards and Alerts migration is not possible. Customers will create
new dashboards based on migrated Data Objects for proprietary UIs

Upgrade Procedure
Creating new domain or upgrading existing domain to 12g
Data objects can be exported / imported using existing Icommand utility
Re-create Dashboards and Alerts (manually..)

54
