  2. Agenda • What is Dependency • Computational Graphs for Dependency • Designtime Vs Runtime • Oracle SOA Gaps • sCrawler Abilities • Crawling Algorithm • Demo • References • Questions And Answers

  3. What is Dependency • Dependency is a relationship between one entity to another • In SOA Context, dependency means • Which endpoints are referred to by a BPEL or ESB Service • Which types of Adapters are referred to by BPEL or ESB Service • Which external services / Abstract WSDLs are referred by BPEL or ESB Service • Given a change to a particular Service, which other services might be impacted immediately, etc

  4. Computational Graphs for Dependency • Graphs can be directed or undirected • ESB Request Response BPEL (bi-directional) • ESB One Way BPEL (unidirectional) • Multi Graphs allow more than a single relationship to be modeled • InboundAdapter to ESB one to Many • BPEL to ESB Many to One • Cyclic Relationships can be identified • ESB1 BPEL1BPEL2……  ESB1

  5. DesignTime Runtime ChangeTime Designtime Vs Runtime

  6. Oracle SOA Gaps • There is no graphical means to track Designtime dependencies end to end • InboundAdapter  ESB  BPEL  ESB  OutboundAdapter • Time Consuming Tasks • Track manually via Enterprise Manager • Heavy on XML • Refer to JDeveloper Source Code • Requires good understanding of Oracle SOA Internals • Difficult to do quick Impact Analysis

  7. Visibility Use Case

  8. Visibility Use Case (contd)

  9. Visibility Use Case (contd)

  10. sCrawler Abilities • Provides a graphical end to end view of SOA Designtime Artifacts • ESB Services • BPEL Processes • Inbound and Outbound Adapters • Abstract WSDLS • External Services • Message Exchange Patterns • No understanding of Oracle SOA required • Zero configuration, Completely Automatic • Only input is URL of a SOA Artifact • Runs as a Standalone Application

  11. sCrawler Abilities (contd) • Scalable • Thread Pools, Thread Safe, Deterministic response time • 263 Artifacts,166 Relationships, 101 Integration Scenarios crawled in 22 secs at an average of 72 ms per artifact on Oracle Application Server running on a single 2.2Ghz CPU using 8 worker threads • Complete separation of concern: sCrawler Graph Vs Visualization • Can be plugged with any XML based graphics Rendering Engine • sCrawler  Flex via BlazeDS • sCrawler  SVG via Batik • sCrawler  Microsoft Documents via Apache POI

  12. sCrawler Abilities (contd) • Quick and Effective Impact Analysis • Finding bottlenecks (Fan Out, Fan In) • Finding Impacted Services or Processes • Graph can be extended for • Discovering Paths for Parallel Deployment • Automatic endpoint testing via Stubs • Endpoint monitoring for an Integration Scenario • Development Effort Estimation

  18. sCrawler Abilities (contd) Ease of Use

  19. sCrawler Abilities (contd) Pluggable Front end

  20. Crawling Algorithm • Iterative Recursive Algorithm: Simple Approach • If runtime of process is NULL, return graph • Else, add parent Node to graph and find list of immediate children • If list is NULL, return graph • Else, for each child in children, add child Node to graph and link [parent,child] • Call Step 1 with child runtime Process Process Process Process Process O(nlogN)
