Oracle Service Bus for Integration and Virtualization
My Organization is a consulting firm and I implement Oracle Service Bus (OSB) at various end customer and I use it by myself as well.
This is an integration tool to provide a pipe to integrate between applications. OSB follows Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). OSB is very popular for virtualization requirement. OSB's components like Proxy Service and Business Service made virtualization easy. OSB addresses Integration and virtualization by a single tool.

- Virtualization - By using this feature, customers need not expose their real services to the outside world and similarly while consuming the third party services, internal server URL or IPs are published or exposed. Customers can make use of Proxy Services and Business Services to achieve virtualization.
- Integration - OSB is middleware that provides Agility, Scalability, flexibility and better performance. This also avoids customer to do point to point integration and hence avoid spaghetti architecture. OSB provides all component of middleware like message transformation, adapters, routing etc.
- Orchestration - OSB is not a tool to do complex orchestration for your integration. Oracle recommends Oracle SOA Suite or BPEL Process Manager for the same.
- Bulk data Integration - OSB is not meant for Bulk batch integration. For example, transferring bulk data from an application to the data warehouse. Use Oracle Data Integration (ODI) or DIPC to handle such a requirement.
- Integration has always best ROI not only for integration project but for overall business and all systems get connected for good. OSB brings a great value here as OSB is an enterprise-grade integration tool and can be used for company-wide integration & virtualization requirement.
- OSB also works well with other Oracle tools like Oracle SOA Suite and ODI.
I worked on various other products like OSB at a various engagement at customer end and I found OSB is lightweight and effective for virtualization.

Oracle BPEL: The Spring Cleaning of Business Processes
We used the entire Oracle SOA suite (which included Oracle BPEL) as part of our initiative to revamp our databases as well as the organization and integrity of our systems operations. We were using a lot of different systems to gather data from many different internal and external sources which was causing data integrity issues as well as slowing down reporting. With Oracle BPEL, we were able to create different applications using these sources very easily thus freeing up time.
- Very user friendly and easy to use. The drop and drop feature makes it a breeze to create different system operations.
- Integration with other Oracle applications is a cinch and the visibility into IT is also very accessible.
- Much faster development time, especially when writing a process from scratch.
- We used cross reference tables frequently at my company which is currently not supported through Oracle BPEL. Adding this functionality would be very beneficial.
- Reporting time decreased in many cases by up to several hours as much of what we had been doing was manual or time consuming.
- Reports themselves were faster based on the application processes we developed as well as the end user retrieval of said reports.
At US Cellular we use Oracle Service Bus to manage/orchestrate web services. Oracle Service Bus is really the middle layer for our applications in the Information Services department integrated with third party vendors coming externally and to the back-end vendor product services. Various types of web services that are developed and hosted on Oracle Service Bus include web order management, subscriber services, and online payment services.
- Ease of usage from the infrastructure point of view, like the interface to navigate to different functionalities, is really good.
- Issue troubleshooting using message reports is very efficient in narrowing down the issue and identifying the root cause.
- Ability to update the business service endpoints globally swiftly by using some of the administration features.
- Average response time of each and every service operation can be found at one stop.
- Message reporting tied to a database seems counter productive. Better options to eliminate that would not only minimize the maintenance hassle but also gives more ease to manage the product.
- Polling feature isn't very efficient where the end point JMS queues may still have JMS connections despite not enabling the corresponding poller proxy services.
- Unable to deploy multiple web services in one go from the OSB Web console.
- Oracle Service Bus definitely provides an excellent Service Bus solution at US Cellular to orchestrate web services, interface between outbound 3rd party vendor services the back-end systems
- Still not utilizing 100% of the product featuers, such as the various adapters available, to maximize the RoI. So, would like to explore leveraging all the features while we migrate to OSB 12c.
- On the flip side, high license costs is a matter of concern. Since there are lot of open source tools with less support costs, we may want to explore those options for optimizing the costs we spend
- Tibco ActiveMatrix Service Bus, Mule ESB and WebSphere Message Broker
Mule ESB is an open source tool and would definitely cost less, however is not as sophisticated a product for the business functionality we need at US Cellular.. I have reviewed IBM WebSphere Message Broker, is very cumbersome and not very user friendly. Despite some of the license cost concerns, Oracle Service Bus stands out as an ideal Enterprise Service Bus solution at US Cellular.
