What's New in This Guide

For Oracle SOA Suite 12c (12.2.1.x), this guide has been updated to include the following new and changed development features:

• In 12c (12.2.1.5): New and updated Task Query Service methods:

  • New methods:
    • getPersistedTaskSequence
    • getTask
    • getTaskActionsWithOptionalAttrs
    • getTasks
    • isFYITask
  • Updated methods. The following methods have been updated to include SYS as an assignment filter value to search across all pillar data (that is, search across packages):
    • doesTaskExist
    • doesViewTaskExist

  For more information, see Task Query Service.

• In 12c (12.2.1.5): At runtime, you can use SOA Composer to export customizations to an XML file, and import the changes into another SOA composite that is the same version as the source SOA composite. The changes are reflected immediately, with no need to restart the composite. Customizations in a SOA composite can be exported and imported for domain value maps, business rules, and worklists. For more information, see Exporting and Importing Customizations to Domain Value Maps at Runtime.
• New topic about importing XSLT customizations using WLST commands. See Importing XSLT Customizations into a Deployed SOA Composite Application.

• In 12c (12.2.1.4): Support for developing SOA projects in Reference Configuration mode so that new adapters that you create will have special JCA endpoint properties defined in their source files. See Developing SOA Projects in Reference Configuration Mode, Deploying SOA Composite Applications or Projects in Oracle JDeveloper, and JCA Adapter Properties.

• In 12c (12.2.1.4): Support for consuming hybrid integrations created in Oracle Integration (in Oracle Cloud) in on-premises SOA composite applications. See How to Consume REST-Based Integrations Created in Oracle Integration in SOA Composite Applications.

• In 12c (12.2.1.4): Support for customer-defined media types for SOA REST binding. See Request and Response rows in Table 36-2.

• Support for patching running composite instances. See Patching Running Instances of a SOA Composite.

• Support for In-Memory SOA. See Using In-Memory SOA to Improve System Performance.

• Support for debugging XSLT maps and support for conditional debugging. See Debugging the XSLT Map.

• Support for End-to-End JSON and JavaScript. See Integrating REST Operations in SOA Composite Applications.

• Support for Cloud Adapters. See the following guides for more information:

  • Using Ariba Adapter

  • Using Oracle Eloqua Cloud Adapter

  • Using Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter
