When mapping Oracle Products onto the Logical view, what is the best approach?
A.
Utilize management packs, connectors, and plug-ins to create a customized product mapping
for the Logical view.
B.
Use Oracle Enterprise Manager to provide core capabilities required by the three layers for
Oracle stack, and use management packs, connectors, and plug ins for non-Oracle stack.
C.
Use an Oracle Enterprise Manager product to provide all the capabilities required by the three
layers in the Management and Monitoring architecture.
D.
Use a third-party to provide all capabilities required by the three layersin the Management and
Monitoring architecture.
Explanation:
Oracle offers a comprehensive SOA solution through a suite of SOA products.
Oracle
Fusion Middleware products cover the needs of the SOA infrastructure end-to-end.
The figure below shows the mapping of Oracle products to the SOA logical components.
Management of services is extremely important in SOA environments, where services
are integrated, reused, and constantly changed. Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM)
simplifies monitoring and managing SOA environments. It addresses each of the
challenges by helping model, monitor, and manage the SOA
environment.
The products referred in the figure are:
* OSB – Oracle Service Bus
* OSR – Oracle Service Registry
* OER – Oracle Enterprise Repository
* OWSM – Oracle Web Service Management
* OEM – Oracle Enterprise Manager (with SOA management pack)
* IdM – Identity and Access Management
There isn’t necessarily a one to one mapping between logical
architecture components and products. While some products target a specific logical
need, most provide additional features, such as monitoring, management, and security.Note:
The SOA infrastructure capabilities can be grouped into the following logical components as
shown in Figure below.
* Service Bus
* SOA Security Framework
* Service Registry
* Metadata Repository
* Monitoring Framework3-2 ORA SOA Infrastructure
* Management Framework
