2 WebLogic Suite Options

2.1 BPEL Process Manager Option

BPEL Process Manager can be licensed as an option to WebLogic Suite.

For more information, see Section 1.6, "BPEL Process Manager".

2.2 Service Bus

Oracle Service Bus (OSB – formerly BEA's AquaLogic Service Bus) is a proven, lightweight SOA integration platform and a key component of the Oracle SOA Suite product family. OSB is designed for connecting, mediating and managing interactions between heterogeneous services, not just Web services, but also Java and .Net, messaging services and legacy endpoints.

OSB uniquely delivers the integration capabilities of an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) with operational service management in a single product with an efficient, seamless user experience. With its flexible deployment options and automated integration with Oracle SOA Governance Suite, Oracle Service Bus is designed to handle the deployment, management and governance challenges of implementing Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) from department to enterprise scale.

Oracle Service Bus is licensed as an option to WebLogic Suite and is also included in SOA Suite for Oracle Middleware.

2.3 SOA Suite for Oracle Middleware

This SOA Suite version is for customers running WebLogic or Oracle Application Server. The components are the same as SOA Suite for Non Oracle Middleware (see Section 1.11, "SOA Suite for Non Oracle Middleware") with the addition of Oracle Service Bus (see Section 2.2, "Service Bus") and B2B (see below).

• Oracle B2B

  For an enterprise to extend business processes to its trading partners requires a well-defined architecture that addresses compliance, security, visibility, scalability, and standards. The Oracle SOA Suite provides this platform, enabling process orchestration, administration, monitoring, inter-enterprise connectivity and more. As an integral part of this architecture, Oracle B2B enables an enterprise to define, configure, manage, and monitor the exchange of information, electronically, with its trading partners.

  Oracle B2B includes the B2B engine and the following adapters, which must be licensed separately for production use:

  • RosettaNet Adapter

  • EDI Adapter

  • Healthcare Adapter

  • ebXML Adapter

  SOA Suite for Oracle Middleware is licensed as an option to WebLogic Suite.

2.4 Business Process Management Suite

Same as Section 1.12, "Business Process Management Suite for Non Oracle Middleware".
