Agenda ESB Scenarios Why does ESB need SCA? SCA for ESB Programming

ESB Scenarios A2A Integration Service Adaptation Integration Logic is the glue between consumer and provider systems. Service Adaptation Services are defined as part of a top-down requirement analysis Service Adaptation layer may provide message mapping/enrichment, protocol bridging, etc System A Service Adaptation Non – WS Connectivity WS End Point Service Interface X Y

ESB Scenarios (cont’d) System A Aggregation Logic WS End Point System B Service Interface Y A B Non - WS Connectivity Service Aggregation / Orchestration Combination of distinct functionalities to achieve new business goals or to optimize the operation of existing processes. Service Virtualization Switch between redundant backend systems for scalability, optimal resource utilization, etc Single, consolidated Service is offered for a collection of similar services, a possible result of merger/acquisitions or decentralization-then-centralization IT-cycles. System A Virtualization Logic WS End Point System B Service Interface Y A B Non - WS Connectivity

ESB Essentials Service oriented approach to integration Support for standards – XML, Web servicies (including WS-RM, WS-SC, etc), WS-BPEL, ... Protcol bridging Multi-language support Traditional integraion services – mapping, routing, rules engine, ... Eventing, loose coupling Distributed runtime (hubless architecture) <your favorite requirement> Still ... What is really an ESB?

Agenda ESB Scenarios Why does ESB need SCA? SCA for ESB Programming

Scenario: Wholesales Sales Order Tracking A typical project involves different systems, creating new business logic, using integration services (mapping, routing, rules), invoking some external services … * Receive customer call * Verify customer SO data Check supplier system for order status Obtain tracking number Check 3PL system for delivery date * Update customer on status info Supplier Wholesaler Logistic Service Provider Customer We decided to base our scenario on a real life eSOA proof point – the sales order tracking scenario. This scenario was developed as [art of the ESEC project (enterprise services enablement center). The idea behind the project was to develop industry specific processes using SAP eSOA and to sell them to customers from this industry. This scenario was presented by Henning in the influencer summit and was sold to Grainger. The scenario automate the process of tracking a sales order and connecting with suppliers and logistic providers. In the implementation highlights we will show, we used a reduced version of this scenario (without the calls to the supplier and the logistic provider).

Defining Process Steps and Gathering Services Requirements Search Sales Orders Display Customer Details Search Customers Search for customers by name, address, city.. Search for Sales Orders by number, date, PO,.. Display Customer details including Account Executive information Use existing Service Use existing Service New Service required We identified the process steps as described here. Using the ES workplace, we identified that the first 2 steps are covered by existing services. However, for the third step, we need to create a new service. Why – since we would like to show customer details from the ERP but in addition to show account executive information which is stored in a non sap system. Therefore, we need to define a new service Backend Enterprise Services CRM ERP

Typical Implementation using ESB Supports typical ESB features of BPEL engine, adapters, multi-protocol support, etc Standards based – BPEL, Web Services, Java EE Service oriented design So why do you need SCA? Process Engine Web Service ESB: Protocol Bridging Service Enablement Mapping / Routing … Service Engine Web Service CRM Adapter ERP Enterprise Services CRM

Case I – Use Web services when needed What if the Process Engine and the ESB Runtime are running on the same JVM? Where and how to declare and validate the mapping of Web service to the internal call? Process Engine Do we really need this call as a Web Service? Web Service Service Engine Web Service CRM Adapter ERP Enterprise Services CRM

Case II – End-to-end QoS Each application runtime and communication mechanism has its own model for security, reliability, etc Bridging of different QoS models at the edges is brittle and difficult to manage Process Engine Bridging of QoS Models Web Service Bridging of QoS Models Service Engine Web Service CRM Adapter Bridging of QoS Models ERP Enterprise Services CRM

Case III – Managing changes to Service provider and location M&A, new business partnerships, new products/upgrades, etc, lead to changes to service Ease and efficiency of handling changes to service providers and location! Process Engine Web Service Service Engine Web Service CRM Adapter - Although SOA approach was used in creating the solution, there are no guarantees that the solution will no be severely impacted by changes to the service providers or their location. ERP Enterprise Services CRM What if this system is moved or replaced/ outsourced?

Case IV – Collecting management data The information about service dependencies is either in people’s minds, or in project documentation, etc. Deriving management data could be part of the design and deployment methodology Process Engine Web Service Service Engine Web Service CRM Adapter - - Lack of a holistic view of the solution makes it difficult to manage the solution (e.g. undeploy, restart, etc for all the runtimes need to be tracked manually) - Testing is another area where high level project view is important. Testing of the individual services is not enough. Testing of the overall solution requires a holistic view of the entire solution. ERP Enterprise Services CRM What happens when this service is shutdown for maintenance, etc?

Case V – Tolerance towards new protocols and application runtimes New communication infrastructure and new runtime get periodically added to the landscape Does the IT development team need to learn yet another programming technology, invocation model? Process Engine New Protocol New Runtime New App Web Service Service Engine Web Service CRM Adapter The question of how new application runtimes and communication infrastructures are plugged into the bus is separate from the impact on the developer productivity in utilizing the new engines, infrastructure, etc. The first question is concerning vendors of platforms, engines, adapters, etc. Where as the second question affect the masses of developers and IT shops that depends upon these developers.

Benefits of SCA to ESB Use Case Benefit of using SCA Standard SOA does not always mean WS Neutral to communication technologies Supports WS, JMS, JCA bindings Wires internal to SCA domain use proprietary technology Bridging QoS Models of heterogeneous platforms Modeling and configuring QoS aspects of is handled at the the platform neutral SCA Assembly layer SCA defines QoS aspects in abstract terms (‘intents’) and allows their mapping to individual platform environments Managing changes to service provider/location SCA component implementations are programmed to interfaces Service endpoint information is not hardwired into client code Wiring of components is a first class concept with elaborate support for common scenarios (internal, external, redeployment) Support for testing, management By providing a holistic view of the solution, it becomes possible for management tools to capture service dependency information Service testing tools can be more effective Tolerance to new application runtimes and communication technologies Framework for bindings to different technologies makes it possible for developers to apply a consistent programming model
