Support for version 12.2.1.2 as a new software image

When running the provisioning wizard, note that software image version 12.2.1.2 has replaced version 12.2.1. You cannot upgrade from 12.2.1 to 12.2.1.2. Instead, provision a new instance of 12.2.1.2, which provides multinode support.

Version 12.1.3 is still supported.

See Using Oracle SOA Cloud Service. For information about Oracle Fusion Middleware, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Documentation.

Multinode clustering support in 12.2.1.2

Multinode clustering support is available with the following version 12.2.1.2 service types. Note that only the multinode version of the MFT Cluster service type is supported in production mode. Use the preview mode versions for testing.

  • SOA and Service Bus Cluster (supported in preview mode only)

  • MFT Cluster (supported in production mode)

  • Integration Analytics Cluster (supported in preview mode only)

    Note:

    You can only provision a multinode version of the SOA and B2B Cluster service type with the REST API. This service type is supported in preview mode only.

See Using Oracle SOA Cloud Service.

Changes to the available service types

When running the provisioning wizard, note the following changes on the Service Type page:

  • The Service Bus Cluster and SOA Cluster service types are only available for selection with software image 12.1.3.

  • The SOA and B2B Cluster service type is only available for selection with software image 12.1.3. To provision this service type in 12.2.1.2, you must use the REST API.

  • Do not use the SOA and Service Bus Cluster 12.2.1.2 service type in a production environment. In a later release, this service type will be combined into a single SOA and Service Bus and B2B Cluster service type selection. There will not be a way to upgrade to this combined service type. However, you can use the SOA and Service Bus Cluster service type for testing.

See Using Oracle SOA Cloud Service.

Oracle Traffic Director 12c

Oracle SOA Cloud Service now uses Oracle Traffic Director Release 12c. Starting with Release 12c, Oracle Traffic Director administration tasks are performed from Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control. When accessing Oracle Traffic Director from the Oracle SOA Cloud Service Console, you are directed to Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control:

https://hostname/em
The provisioning wizard can now automatically create your Oracle Storage Cloud container.

The required Oracle Storage Cloud container can now be automatically created for you when you provision an instance. All you have to do is check the Create Cloud Storage Container checkbox on the Instance Details page, specify a name and credentials. and the wizard does the rest.


Screenshot shows the Storage Container Configuration portion of the Instance Details page. It shows the Create Cloud Storage Container checkbox checked.
Oracle Business Activity Monitoring (Oracle BAM) is now available for production use as part of SOA Cloud Service

Oracle BAM is now available for production use as part of the Integration Analytics Cluster service type. Oracle BAM was in preview mode in previous SOA Cloud Service releases.

New API connection type and REST API added for Real-Time Integration Business Insight

A new API connection type is available in Real-Time Integration Business Insight. Use this connection type in conjunction with the Real-Time Integration Business Insight REST Event API to collect metrics from integrations that are not implemented using compatible versions of SOA Suite or Service Bus.

For more information about this feature, see Publishing Business Events Using the REST API.
