Who is to carry out harvesting?
A.
Solution Architects may execute harvesting upon decomposition completion.
B.
Developers may execute harvesting upon Implementation completion.
C.
System Administrators may execute harvesting upon AIA services (process) being deployed.
D.
Business Analysts may execute harvesting upon analysis completion.
Explanation:
Process Architect (/Solution Architect) – Performs analysis and design of technical
aspects of the process, taking the process specification from the Process Analyst for technical
analysis. The Process Architect also specifies additional technical software requirements, such as
application integration, UI development, etc. and works with the Process Analyst to
design technical specifications for new functional requirements.
The Process Architect may also be responsible for
* Defining technical integration strategies
* Technical specification for new IT capabilities
* Directing system and integration testingIn an environment where SOA is fully implemented, discovery of services for
functional requirements in the process model can be performed effectively by
non-technical participants (typically the Process Analyst). In cases of less developed
integration architectures however, the Process Architect would be required to identify
the most suitable sources of application functionality and business entities.
This is a specialized architecture role similar to “solution architect” in traditional
software engineering, but with an emphasis on understanding business process
modeling and the details of process implementation in addition to more general
software architecture skills.
Note: Oracle Enterprise Repository can be automatically populated with assets, metadata, and
relationships. The tool used to populate Oracle Enterprise Repository is called the Harvester. The
Harvester reads metadata from Oracle products and standards-based files. This includes Oracle
SOA Suite, Oracle Service Bus, composites generated by Oracle BPA, and standard BPEL,
WSDL, XSD, XSLT, BPMN 2.0 and WS-Policy files. The Harvester automatically createsassets,
populates asset metadata, and generates relationship links based on the information in the artifact
files. The files can be harvested at design-time, directly from the development environment. The
files can also be harvested as they are deployed to the runtime environment. The Harvester can
be used from the command line, within IDEs including Oracle JDeveloper, and within Ant and the
Weblogic Scripting Tool (WLST).
