Oracle Service Oriented Architecture Framework

Oracle Corporation Roadmap and Web Servers

In the first quarter of 2010, Oracle Corporation completed its acquisition of Sun Microsystems. Oracle Corporation is now in direct competition with IBM and Hewlett-Packard. Oracle has been integrating Sun Microsystems hardware and software into Oracle Fusion Middleware: 1- New hardware and software architectures. 2- Providing an application-centric approach to security. 3- Connecting users, processes, and applications through enterprise portal and content management. Oracle is promoting its servers as being faster, more reliable, and secure than its competitor technologies. It’s stated strategy is to become the leading high-end server business for both online transaction processing and data warehousing. Oracle will be selling its web servers with Exadata database software.

Fusion consists of several Oracle Corporation software products. It spans multiple services, including Java EE and developer tools, integration services, business intelligence, collaboration, and content management. Oracle Fusion Middleware provides software for the development, deployment, and management of SOA: Service Oriented Architecture.

Oracle_Fusion_WebLogic

The Oracle Corporation Roadmap builds upon the WebLogic Server and development platform acquired from BEA Systems. It is a Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition application which provides the standards compliance and scalable infrastructure required for platform and programming languages in a service oriented architecture. WebLogic Server major assets and strengths are system management, performance and availability, enterprise-ready messaging infrastructure, and enterprise web services. It is recognized as superb industry leading software.

Oracle will be providing maintenance for its Oracle Application Server 10g customers during the convergence of functionality with the WebLogic server.

SOA: Service Oriented Architecture

Service Oriented Architecture functions both as a software development environment and a delivery framework. SOA provides a mechanism for defining business services and operating models. It provides a protocol driven infrastructure which can be used to meet enterprise business requirements and modernize legacy environments. In a SOA environment, network nodes makes resources available to other network participants as independent services, which participants can access in a standardized way through well-defined service interfaces. Sound design and careful planning in early projects will result in services that can be shared by future projects. The objective is to have SOA provide a structure which meets immediate business requirements along with a mechanism for adapting to changes in the business environment on an ongoing basis.

The primary goals for modernizing a legacy application code base are:

Identifying and managing the core business processes it contains.	Promoting the reuse of existing software assets.
Separating business logic from technology, facilitating the evolution of applications to meet organizations’ changing needs.	Transforming an application into an agile, adaptable environment that enables the organization to leverage business logic in new applications.

Mainframe Migration

SOA provides an opportunity to leverage a substantial investment in mainframe information technology environment: accessing corporate data, exposing business processes embedded within applications, and modernizing interfaces.

Platform migration is the least invasive migration strategy. Given the necessity to retain and maintain application security and data integrity in a mainframe environment, this type of platform migration will be best suited for organizations with between 2,000 to 3,000 MIPS installed.

Language migration offers the greatest potential benefits in modernizing to an SOA, but poses the highest level of risk because it usually involves three migrations: language, platform, and database. This type of migration will likely represent a viable option for organizations with fewer than 500 MIPs installed. ^¹

WebLogic Server and Oracle Training by SYS-ED

Few software or consulting companies have the experience that SYS-ED has in providing training on WebLogic and Oracle software: servers, database, and application development. SYS-ED staff and CETi Technology Partners have been working with BEA and Oracle Corporation software since their initial releases. Our multidisciplinary work as integrators of commercial and open source applications in hybrid operating environments - UNIX, Solaris, MS Windows, and IBM mainframe system software - provides a privileged perspective from which to demonstrate, explain, and teach what does not work as advertised. Our independence is reflected in the white papers, benchmarks, and software we review and incorporate into our training service.

Equally as important, we average 25+ years experience in IBM mainframe system software and application development:

Programming Languages

WebSphere MQ

DB2 UDB

And truth be told, our staff gets called on for the tough WebLogic and Oracle training assignments; we refer to it as educational consultancy.

SYS-ED provides WebLogic and Oracle training services for information technology professionals from Fortune 1000 companies, government municipalities, and healthcare providers to migrate and develop WebLogic applications according to the Oracle Corporation roadmap. We teach the industry standard content and provide educational consultancy which provides the foundation for evaluating Service Oriented Architecture and repurposing the investment in mainframe system software and legacy programming languages: improved performance, reducing costs, saving time, and lowering risk.

SOA: Service Oriented Architecture and Platform Migration

The lesson plans and exercises in SYS-ED's WebLogic Server curriculum incorporate information from CETi Technology Partner consultancy assignments.

Oracle SOA Suite 11g

Oracle Fusion Middleware

SYS-ED workshops explain and demonstrate:

The WSDL language elements.

How to develop services, the SOAP message structure, and the relationship among SOAP, WSDL, and XML schema.

HTTP methods and uniform contracts.

Designing services based on SOA governance metrics.

Adding exception handling to an SOA system.

SYS-ED workshops explain and demonstrate:

How Oracle Fusion middleware can help a business incrementally migrate to a Service Oriented Architecture.
How to build end-to-end web applications.
Developing Java EE components with Oracle ADF.
Build rich user interfaces with ADF Faces.
Develop Oracle database web services.

Qualifying a WebLogic Training Assignment

SYS-ED will not accept an assignment until our Director of Education reviews the software environment and operational requirements with management from the prospective client. We will then compare it to our standard lesson plan, performance objectives, walkthroughs, and exercises, and if required, develop new client-specific examples and exercises.

SYS-ED recognizes and differentiates between providing an industry standard course and educational consultancy:

Courses are available in a classroom, distance-learning medium, or client presentation system. Upon completion of a course, students are welcome to submit WebLogic, Solaris, and Oracle questions from back on the job.

The WebLogic and Oracle courseware and training aids used in SYS-ED courses and training programs is highly respected. Information technology infrastructure is becoming increasingly hybrid with client-specific implementations of commercial and open source software. Accordingly, reference documentation inclusive of validation assessment for WebLogic, Oracle, UNIX/Solaris/Linux, and Java is used to help employees learn and promote mastery of the subject matter.

Upon completion of a SYS-ED instructor-led course at the client location, it is standard policy to organize content for future utilization in a web-based training infrastructure. Students are welcome to ask questions back on the job.

Evolving IT - Interrelated Technologies

Information technology training for business enterprise is more complex and challenging than ever before. Organization’s have a substantial investment in infrastructure and applications specific to their operations. There are new industry standard protocols, web server and web enabled technologies and development platforms which require either new development or integration with the existing system software and enterprise databases. There will be long term implications regarding the strategic mix of proprietary and open source software which is selected, along with decisions on whether to maintain and upgrade the existing legacy applications, many of which are now thirty or more years of age; while retrofitting and transitioning to the new technologies. SYS-ED trained a significant portion of the first generation of DP personnel. And looks forward to training their IT successors in the 21st century.

WebLogic Courses
SYS-ED's WebLogic courses are tough, but they're worth it. Our challenging "hands-on" WebLogic training provides a foundation and framework for Fortune 1000 companies, government municipalities, healthcare providers, software houses, and consulting companies to train their own WebLogic staff and acquire specialized interrelated expertise in IT technology.^³

Courseware
SYS-ED's WebLogic courseware is highly respected. We draw upon our extensive library of courseware, sample programs and case studies to explain, demonstrate, and teach industry standard and consultancy derived WebLogic content. Our WebLogic curriculum are updated to include the new development environments and expanded featureset. We have the capability to provide design guidelines and programming examples across a comprehensive range of base operating platforms: Linux- and UNIX- variants, MS Windows, and hybrid internetworking implementations.

Teaching is Our Business
Most computer training companies are divisions of large software or consulting companies. Not SYS-ED. Our only goal is to provide quality computer training for motivated professionals - no more and no less. Because we're independent, we're free to concentrate on teaching - and since 1980 we have been doing it very well.

Our Teachers Know How to Teach
SYS-ED instructors combine teaching skills with broad practical experience as consultants. Our system consultants have been working with WebLogic since its initial release and equally as important average 30 years of experience in enterprise information technology: operating systems, administration, and programming. And they know how to teach it. We teach not only "how to", but "why", building a solid foundation in fundamentals and insights into advanced subject matter. After a course, they're available to answer questions.

Enrollment - SYS-ED WebLogic Courses are NOT for Everyone
No one is allowed to enroll in a SYS-ED WebLogic course, without a consultation with our Director of Education. We review the operational objectives and project specifications for the organization evaluating whether to send its employee for the training. The employee is ONLY allowed to register if they have the background corresponding to the Oracle Roadmap and appropriate learning paths: WebLogic Server, Oracle database, and Java language.

WebLogic Training in New York, at Your Office, or via the Web
SYS-ED WebLogic courses are held at our training center in Manhattan and in conjunction with CETi Technology Partners in North America and Europe. If you prefer, we'll arrange tailored WebLogic training on-site at your organization’s facilities inclusive of mobile computer classroom set-up. On-site courses can include the identical workshops, case studies, and hands-on approach as the WebLogic and Oracle Roadmap training we offer in New York.

For additional information including outlines, availability of private courses, references, and course customization, contact David Shapiro at our New York office at 212-564-9147 or register online.
