Service Orchestration in a Distributed World
BPEL Sophisticated, standards-based service
orchestration

• Compose processes out of existing services and
  processes
• Correlate events within and across running
  processes
• Control flow conditionals, loops, delays, scoped
  state
• Manage concurrent (often long-running) service
  interactions
• Compensate for completed activities in the event
  of failure

Sonic BPEL Server
BPEL Integration example
WSDL
LEGACY
ORDER
BUILD
SHIP

• Use BPEL to iterate on 3-step process
• Each step invokes legacy resources
• But BPEL is completely binding-agnostic
• It knows only of WSDL
• How do I integrate with the target systems?

10

ORDER
BUILD
SHIP

• BPEL orchestrates WSDL services into a process
• ESB binds WSDL to heterogeneous resources

LOCAL SHIP
?

• That means two shipping systems one local, one
  remote
• The second shipping system needs special handling
• We cant ship without looking up customer
  information that is in the remote fulfillment
  center

SHIP 1
BUILD

• Extend SHIP service using ESB intelligent
  routing
• CBR selects branch
• Itinerary directs message flow for additional
  mediation steps
• Intelligent routing obviates WAN hop no
  central brain
• Separation of BPEL and ESB concerns maximizes
  flexibility

• Clustered communication brokers scale to meet
  changing throughput requirements
• Brokers dynamically route messages across
  clusters, firewalls and security domains
• Continuous Availability Architecture (CAA)
  provides communications availability
• Add service instances for transparent
  load-balancing, availability, disaster recovery

14
Sonic BPEL Server
Distributed process debugger

• Debug BPEL and intelligent routing from Eclipse
  environment
• On one server, or across clusters and the
  firewall works the same
• Set breakpoints and visually step through
  processes
• Examine remote process and service state
