• No load balancing between SOA layers (except at top level)

• Advantages of architecture which enforces transaction stickiness:

• Reduced network chatter

• True in/out of load capabilities

• Supports high availability

• Simplifies transactional tracing

• Considerations:

• Limitations with automatic managed server failover*

* This is a function of the logical architecture, not product limitations


SOA Suite Logical Architecture Security Considerations

• Business requirement of service-level security in the green zone

• No access to exposed SOA/OSB services… entry point is only through an

authenticated gateway service

• OWSM 10g traditionally used as a gateway

• But is not certified to run on Exalogic

• Explored Oracle Enterprise Gateway (OEG)

• Decided on OSB as the next generation gateway solution


SOA Suite on Exalogic Key Considerations

• Hardware refresh

• Improved performance…

• OBIEE and E-Business Suite already showed incredible performance gains with

zero code changes

• Technological enhancements…

• Availability of SDP protocol between SOA Suite and E-Business Suite

• Oracle Traffic Director (OTD) addresses load balancing design issues

• Able to…

• Maintain existing logical architecture

• Maintain requirement of 100% availability

• Cutover from commodity hardware to Exalogic with almost zero downtime


• Exalogic to Exadata over an InfiniBand-based network can

provide a throughput of 960 gigabits/second, as opposed to the

traditional 1 gigabit/second

• Configured SDP InfiniBand for Exalogic database connections to

E-Business Suite R12 on Exadata

SOA Suite on Exalogic Leveraging InfiniBand between Exalogic and Exadata

Old: jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(LOAD_BALANCE=YES)(FAILOV

ER=YES)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=db1)(PORT=1521))(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL

=tcp)(HOST=db2)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=ebs01)))

New: jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(LOAD_BALANCE=YES)(FAILOV

ER=YES)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=sdp)(HOST=dbib1)(PORT=5521))(ADDRESS=(PROTOC

OL=sdp)(HOST=dbib2)(PORT=5521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=ebs01)))


• Built from the ground up by Oracle

• Think efficient software load balancer

• All balancing remains within Exa*

• Addresses initial load balancing design considerations:

• Able to load balance between SOA layers

• No external network chatter (i.e., efficient network utilization)

• InfiniBand advantages maintained

SOA Suite on Exalogic Using Oracle Traffic Director as Load Balancing Alternative


SOA Suite on Exalogic Oracle Traffic Director Screenshot


• Exalogic did not support virtualization with OVM

• OTD did not exist yet

• OWSM 10g not supported on Exalogic

• SDP protocol unable to cross data centers

Now supported

No longer the case

Using OSB as gateway

Not possible

SOA Suite on Exalogic Early Challenges


OSB on Exalogic Early Challenges

• On OSB installations on Exalogic, the challenges encountered:

• Client requests get a read time out error

• The BEA-380000 error “Request Entity Too Large” appears in the logs

• OSB invocations retry multiple times every 5 minutes

• OSB invocations invoke target service twice

• For all Business Services…

• Disable “Chunked Streaming Mode” under HTTP Transport Configuration

• For all Proxy Services…

• Set “Quality of Service” to “Exactly Once” in the Route Node of the Message Flow
