Differences in Oracle SOA Behavior in the Cloud

Some features of Oracle SOA behave differently in the cloud than in an on­ premises environment.

Some features of Oracle SOA behave differently in the cloud than in an on­ premises environment.

Because shared disk is currently not available, writing to a shared file from multiple managed servers running in a cluster is not possible. To make this work in the cloud, managed servers would have to write to a file on their own local disks, and then an additional process would have to consolidate the files on one of the VMs.

File adapter read actions — each managed server only reads from its local directory.

JMS store and JTA transaction logs must use the Oracle database instead of file stores.

Oracle B2B large file processing ­ Files are written to the local file system of the managed server that processes the message. The Oracle B2B Console cannot read the file unless it is running on the same

managed server (you see random behavior).

Connectivity between Oracle SOA Cloud Service adapters and on­premises applications might be blocked by your corporate firewall. Connections can be established by using an SSH tunnel from the application server to which the adapter connects.

The SOA debugger and automatic SOA composite application tester (unit tester) in Oracle JDeveloper are not supported when connecting to the SOA Cloud Service server.

Reports are not supported in Oracle Real­Time Integration Business Insight, installed as part of the Integration Analytics Cluster service type.
