Review the high-level differences between Oracle SOA Suite on-premises and Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
Oracle SOA Suite On-Premises | Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace |
---|---|
Installed on your own hardware. |
Provisioned on Oracle Cloud. |
You create the complete domain. |
Provisioning an Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace instance automatically creates an Oracle WebLogic Server domain. |

Stopping and starting the servers requires many manual steps. | Supports stop and start operations to reboot the VMs, node manager, load balancer, and SOA servers. |
The domain must be manually extended to add a new Managed Server or add a new node. | Supports scaling out to add a new node and complete required configuration changes, and scaling in to remove a node from a cluster. |
Network access for on-premises networks varies from site to site, as well as logic processes. Usually it is completely open to employees, as long as they have the right credentials. |
|
There should not be any connectivity issues blocking Oracle SOA Suite and your on-premises applications. | Connectivity between Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace adapters and on-premises applications may be blocked by your corporate firewall. Connections can be established by setting up a VPN connection between Oracle Cloud and your on-premises network. |
The SOA debugger and automatic SOA composite application tester (unit tester) in Oracle JDeveloper are supported when connecting to on-premises SOA Server. | The SOA debugger and automatic SOA composite application tester (unit tester) in Oracle JDeveloper are not supported when connecting to SOA Server in the cloud. |
