This chapter provides an overview of Oracle Enterprise Service Bus components, installation scenarios, and a list of the system requirements. It contains the following sections:
An enterprise service bus moves data among multiple endpoints, both within and outside of an enterprise. It uses open standards to connect, transform, and route business documents (as Extensible Markup Language (XML) messages), among disparate applications. It enables monitoring and management of business data, with minimal impact on existing applications. An enterprise service bus is the underlying infrastructure for delivering a service-oriented architecture (SOA) and event-driven architecture (EDA).
As shown in Figure 1-1, Oracle Enterprise Service Bus consists of following components:
The ESB Server is the server to which you register the ESB services that you have designed using Oracle JDeveloper and configured using the ESB Console. The ESB Server supports multiple protocol bindings including HTTP/SOAP, JMS, JCA, WSIF, and Java that ensure guaranteed, reliable message delivery using synchronous/asynchronous, request/reply or publish/subscribe models. However, ESB Server does not support Remote Method Invocation (RMI).
The ESB Console provides a Web-based interface for managing, administering, and debugging services that you have registered with the ESB Server.
The database that holds your ESB metadata such as schemas, transformations, and routing rules.
Oracle JDeveloper is a graphical and user-friendly way to model, edit, and design the services that comprise an Oracle Enterprise Service Bus system.

Installation scenarios for Oracle Enterprise Service Bus are described in the following sections:
Scenario 1: Oracle Enterprise Service Bus with Oracle SOA Suite
Scenario 2: Oracle Enterprise Service Bus for OracleAS Middle Tier Installation
This document describes Scenario 2, installation of Oracle Enterprise Service Bus for OracleAS Middle Tier. For information about installing Oracle Enterprise Service Bus with the Oracle SOA Suite, see the Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0) Installation Guide for your operating system.
Oracle Enterprise Service Bus is automatically as part of the 10g (10.1.3.1.0) Oracle SOA Suite basic or advanced installation, providing a design and standalone test environment. Using this installation type, you design your process and then perform preproduction deployment and testing. Once you are ready for production, you use Oracle Enterprise Service Bus on the OracleAS Middle Tier to deploy the ESB service.
When you perform basic install of Oracle Enterprise Service Bus with Oracle SOA Suite, you get these components:
Note: Oracle Database Lite is configured to support Unicode. By default,DB_CHAR_ENCODING is set to UTF8 in the polite.ini file. |
With Oracle SOA Suite advanced installation, you can also use Oracle Database.
Note: In 10g (10.1.3.1.0), Oracle JDeveloper is no longer bundled with Oracle Enterprise Service Bus. You must install Oracle JDeveloper separately for use with Oracle Enterprise Service Bus projects. |
For details about the SOA Suite installation, see the Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0) Installation Guide for your operating system.
Oracle Enterprise Service Bus for OracleAS Middle Tier provides a standards-based infrastructure for running service message flows. Before installation, you configure an Oracle Database for use with Oracle Enterprise Service Bus by running the Oracle Application Server Integration Repository Creation Assistant (IRCA).
When you select the Oracle Enterprise Service Bus for OracleAS Middle Tier installation type, the following components are installed:
This installation type requires that Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.3.1.0) J2EE and Web Server or J2EE Server instance should be installed in the Oracle home into which you plan to install Oracle Enterprise Service Bus.
Refer to Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0) Installation Guide for your operating system for information on installing J2EE Server and Web Server middle tier.
If you are currently using an Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3) Middle Tier, you must upgrade to 10g (10.1.3.1.0) using the appropriate patch set before installing Oracle Enterprise Service Bus.
