  • It is lightweight and one can easily integrate with different applications, databases, JMS, or Web services through different protocols.
  • It helps in building reusable, well-defined services.
  • The connectivity with the solution is an area that needs to be improved. On occasion, requests are lost due to losing connectivity. Also, there should be proper monitoring of what is coming into and going out of the Oracle Service Bus and it should be logged. Every request should be logged.
  • It needs to support more adapters because the integration points keep changing, and new things keep coming up. It also needs to be more scalable.

  • Protocol mediation. It allows service consumers to make requests using one protocol and a service provider to use a different protocol.
  • It provides data mapping or transformation to different formats.
  • It provides support for synchronous and asynchronous transport protocols.
  • Service implementation is not agile like microservices.
  • The architecture is so complex and could result in higher latency with so many layers to traverse.
  • Deployment of multiple web services in one session

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • The Oracle Service Bus makes the management of web services extremely easy. Through its point and click interface, the web service endpoints can be easily modified.
  • The administration console provides useful dashboards to diagnose any service issues.
  • Oracle Service bus discontinued support for Eclipse IDE and some of the customization features are now exclusively through JDeveloper.
  • The service bus does not support a concurrent deployment of multiple web services through the web console.

  • 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.
