Integrated SOA Gateway (ISG) – 2 – Service Enablement in Oracle E-Business Suite

We already described in earlier post what is web service. Service enablement is one of the “essential features”  or “process flow” in Oracle E-Business Suite Integrated SOA Gateway. You can say it is that “magic ingredient” which allows native packaged integration interface definitions written in PL/SQL, Java, and other formats and stored in Oracle Integration Repository to be transformed into Web services.

“Service enablement” involves:

  • Generating service artifacts, such as XSD
  • To validate XML messages, WSDL or WADL to describe the Web service,
  • Deploying web services on an application server so that the services are available to clients over the Web.

Integrated SOA Gateway (ISG) – 1 – fundamentals

Before going into ISG Concepts, it is important to briefly understand what is a Web Service and some other related terms which can be new for beginner.

Web Services:

  • Web Service in simple terms is a “software system” for machine-to-machine interaction over a network.
  • Its interface is described in certain format which can be processed by machine.
  • WSDL is one kind of interface format which can be created using SOAP messages
  • WADL is another kind of interface format created using REST messages
  • Web Services are self-describing, reusable software components encapsulating discrete functionality. Example: Employee creation can be one self-contained web service.

Oracle EBS R12 and TDE Tablespace Encryption

Keeping data secure is one of the primary job of DBA. Oracle’s Transparent Data Encryption Tablespace Encryption option of Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition provides an excellent method to encrypt data at rest. This option works perfectly with Oracle EBS R12.

The TDE Tablespace Encryption option can be used to encrypt the tablespaces that store the content of your E-Business Suite application so you can encrypt the database files and any backups of these files. Good thing about TDE is you do not have to change any of your existing code as TDE is transparent to application.

At any given point in time, one of these file systems is designated as run (part of the running system) and the other as patch (either being patched or awaiting the start of the next patching cycle).
