Course Overview
About Course
The Oracle SOA Training is a 40‑hour, hands-on course designed for integration developers, architects, and administrators eager to master Oracle SOA Suite (12c). It starts with a foundation in SOA principles, comparing benefits and patterns, and introduces the Oracle SOA ecosystem—BPEL, Service Bus, Business Rules, Mediator, Human Task, UMS, and BAM
Learners then move to Web service fundamentals, mastering SOAP, REST, WSDL, SCA-based composites, and cloud interoperability The infrastructure module covers installation of Fusion Middleware, WebLogic domain setup (including clustering, load balancing, LDAP), and enterprise-grade architecture deployment
In development modules, participants dive into Oracle JDeveloper—creating BPEL processes with sequential and parallel flows, partner links, error handlers, Mediator routing, transformations using XSL/XQuery, business rule orchestration, and human task configuration They also learn ESB integration, JCA adapter setup, and composite deployment strategies with EM and CLI.
Advanced sessions cover monitoring using Enterprise Manager, configuring error hospitals, setting audit and trace sensors, performance tuning (JVM, DB, dehydration store), and detailed troubleshooting workflows . Backup and high-availability planning ensure production-readiness.
A capstone module culminates the training—students design, build, deploy, tune, backup, and present a complete SOA solution integrating BPEL, rules, ESB, human tasks, and fault-handling mechanisms, reviewed by peers and instructors.
Ideal for roles like Oracle SOA Developer, Integration Specialist, or Middleware Administrator, the training emphasizes practical skill building and certification preparation. Graduates receive a polished portfolio-ready solution and are prepared to lead real-world enterprise integration projects using Oracle SOA Suite.
