\"BEAI was listening to podcast Check Here<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0from Thomas Kurian<\/strong> (Senior Vice President, Oracle FMW) about Oracle’s Strategy on integrating\/merging BEA <\/strong>product with Oracle Fusion Middleware.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Oracle acquired BEA<\/a>\u00a0this year\u00a0and these two companies had many common products (Java Application Server, SOA Suite, Web Center Suite..). This podcast try to clear where is Oracle heading with Fusion Middleware.<\/p>\n

Here is extract (my understanding<\/font>) of this podcast and things which I found useful as an Apps DBA\/ Middleware Administrator.<\/p>\n

.
\nTransaction Processing Monitor<\/font><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

BEA’s Tuxedo<\/strong> (TPM<\/strong>) is going to be Oracle’s main Transaction Processing Monitor<\/strong>
\n–Extending its support to\u00a0more operating systems\u00a0
\n–Integrate with oracle’s SOA infrastructure
\n–Integrate more tightly with Oracle Database (RAC)<\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

J2EE Application Server
\n<\/font><\/u><\/strong>Like Oracle Application Server, BEA got its own J2EE Application Server (BEA Weblogic Server<\/strong> now called as Oracle WebLogic Server<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

\u00a0Weblogic Server will becomes Oracle’s main Java Application Server<\/strong> (What will happen to\u00a0Oracle Application Server, Is there OAS 11g<\/strong>\u00a0(more on this coming soon) <\/font>?
\n\u00a0
\n—<\/strong>Oracle’s main focus with Oracle WebLogic Server will be to certify all fusion middleware product (SOA Suite, Business Intelligence, Content Management, Identity Management) on WebLogic Server.\u00a0 Most of these fusion middleware products are already certified on weblogic version 9.X<\/strong>\u00a0 ( soon going to certify all fusion middleware products on Oracle webLogic 10.X )
\n
\n—<\/strong>Integrating features of Oracle Application Server like OC4J (EJB, ORM, Security Model) into Oracle WebLogic Server<\/p>\n

.
\nSOA Suite
\n<\/font><\/u><\/strong>
\n<\/font><\/u><\/strong>Oracle will retain its own SOA Suite but add number of features from BEA’s SOA Suite to Oracle SOA Suite.<\/p>\n

After convergence, Oracle SOA suite is going to look like
\n—<\/strong>\u00a0Converge Aqualogic Service Bus<\/strong> (from BEA) and Enterprise Service Bus<\/strong> (from Oracle) to common architecture called SCA<\/strong> (Services Component Architecture) and make it part of Oracle SOA Suite
\n— Retain Oracle BPEL PM (Business Process Execution Language Process Manager) for process orchestration.
\n— Retain Oracle Business Rule Engine.
\n— Oracle’s Event Processing combined with Weblogic Event Server<\/strong> (BEA) for monitoring the processes.\u00a0
\n— Oracle’s BAM <\/strong>(Business Activity Monitor)\u00a0to publish analytics out of these applications.
\n— Retain Oracle’s WSM<\/strong> (Web Services Manager)\u00a0to define policy on services.
\n— Use Aqualogic Enterprise Repository<\/strong> (from BEA)\u00a0to govern Services. (Repository to store\/publish services, manage and govern these policies for SOA governance)
\n— Oracle’s EM (Enterprise Manager)\u00a0for monitoring & Oracle B2B (Business 2 Business)\u00a0engine<\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Where is Technology Stack of Applications (E-Business Suite) heading …<\/font><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

This opens debate about\u00a0Is technology Stack going to change in\u00a0Oracle Applications<\/strong> (E-Business Suite) and if Yes, How Soon ???
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We all know Oracle Applications rely heavily on middleware (specially Java Application Server – like 10.1.2 & 10.1.3 ORACLE_HOMEs in R12)\u00a0<\/p>\n

Does\u00a0it mean that We will see WebLogic Server<\/strong> as Application Server in future release ?<\/p>\n

On that front I would like to focus on Thomas’s\u00a0point “Gradually move from Oracle Application Server to Weblogic Application Server as main java application server in Oracle Applications but no immediate change<\/strong><\/font>”<\/p>\n
