Lessons Learned

Not to be on Bleeding Edge

Very few customers running JDE on Solaris 11 & Solaris Cluster 4
Oracle Support knowledge & documentation for this configuration is minimal
Certifications with other infrastructure vendors were not ready in time

Rather than leveraging systems integrators for Solaris cluster setup, recommend using Oracle
ACS (Advance Customer Service)

JDE mobile solution implementation need to be planned during the earlier stage of the project

13
Affymetrix Confidential

Future Plans
Migrate eBioscience (Business Unit) from Oracle ERP to JDE
Implement and rollout JDE mobile applications
Architect and implement DR setup for JDE
Evaluate Business Services capabilities

WHAT IS A BSSV?
BuSiness SerVice
It is the OMW code for the object type of the E1 business
service
It is a Java wrapper around E1 functions, which are then
built and exposed as SOAP services.
There are two flavors for Business Services
The original JAX-RPC standard
The later JAX-WS standard

WHY BSSV AT PCL?

Our BSSV goals include:
Extend our SOA Integration Standard to E1
Encapsulation
Specifically we want to ensure that updates into E1 go through E1 business logic

Simplification
Code Reuse
Ease of System to System Integration

We want to move away from point to point integrations to a hub and

spoke methodology

WHAT DOES YOUR CNC NEED TO KNOW?

You will have to setup a new server, which is a new server type, for BSSV.
Currently we have two, one for JAX-RPC (Prod and non-Prod) and one for JAX-WS (non-prod so far).
There is a completely new set of .ini settings (JDEInterop.ini) for BSSV.

For JAX-RPC running on the blue stack there are very specific combinations of versions for Websphere,
Java Runtime Engine, and IBM RAD.
You will need to consider the load coming through the service. You may need multiple servers with a
load balancer in the front.
There are some new OCM mappings if you are doing outbound connections from BSSV
You need to know which standard you are building the package for, JAX-RPC or JAX-WS.
The system defaults to JAX-RPC.

WHAT DOES YOUR E1 DEVELOPER NEED

TO KNOW?
They will need to know some basic Java syntax.
Once the service is published, you cannot change the input parameters. If
the parameters need to be changed, you will need to deprecate the old
method and create a new one.
With the BSSV service in Java, you can manage simple data sets, where
Master Business Functions only return a single record at a time.
BUT, the SQL queries are VERY basic. SELECT and WHERE clauses only.
No Brackets
No Aggregate Functions like sum or max
No Joins

Do not rewrite the business logic in Java, just call the Master Business
Functions
As they are SOAP based calls, credential come across in clear text (we have
not implemented SSL yet, as these calls are all inside our data center).

WHAT DOES THE NON-E1 DEVELOPER

NEED TO KNOW?
The difficulty for us was figuring out the bindings, which in our case was in
.NET WCF.
We had to create custom bindings, as the out of the box bindings that come with
.NET do not work.

How to consume a JAX-RPC Service, versus a JAX-WS service

JAX-WS is a different binding method that JAX-RPC, and the consuming services will
need to be updated to the new binding method.

OUR NEXT STEPS

We are reviewing options for pushing data from E1
Option 1. Use Real Time Event Notification to trigger an external service to call an
E1 inbound service. (Notification is synchronous, inbound service call is
asynchronous)
Option 2. Use an outbound service call (asynchronous but near real time).
Option 3. Use Real Time Event Notification in-line code in E1 to make an external
service call (synchronous and can be fault responsive E1 app may be unresponsive
if external service is unresponsive)

We are also planning to migrate E1 to our Exa platform.

OUR WISH LIST FOR ORACLE

Implement the JAX-RS standard.
Enables restful state services
Removes SOAP overhead
Enables JSON calls, which removes the overhead of the XML tagging
