1 Overview

Oracle WebLogic Server enables you to set up, operate, and integrate e-business applications across multiple computing platforms using Web technologies. The Oracle WebLogic Server includes both the run-time components and the tools to develop and design applications.

Oracle SOA Suite provides a complete set of service infrastructure components for designing, deploying, and managing composite applications. Oracle SOA Suite enables services to be created, managed, and orchestrated into composite applications and business processes. Composites enable you to easily assemble multiple technology components into one service oriented architecture (SOA) composite application. Oracle SOA Suite plugs into heterogeneous information technology infrastructures and enables enterprises to incrementally adopt SOA.

The following components comprise Oracle SOA Suite:

• Oracle Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)

• Oracle BPEL Process Manager (BPEL)

• Human Task

• Oracle Web Services Manager (OWSM)

• Oracle Business Rules

Oracle BPEL Console is the monitoring environment for Oracle BPEL Process Manager. You can run, manage, and test your deployed BPEL process using the Oracle BPEL Console. Oracle BPEL Console provides a Web-based interface for management, administration, and debugging of processes deployed to Oracle SOA Server.
