Deploying SOA Composite Applications to Oracle SOA Suite Cloud Service


Options




Before You Begin

Purpose

This tutorial shows you how to deploy a composite application as a SOA archive(SAR) file to Oracle SOA Suite Cloud Service by using the Oracle Fusion Middleware Control console.

Time to Complete

45 minutes

Background

Oracle SOA Suite Cloud Service provides a complete set of service infrastructure components for designing, managing, and deploying composite and service bus applications to the cloud.

You can save time, money, and work more efficiently by using the wide variety of features in Oracle SOA Suite Cloud Service to:

  • Design SOA composite applications.
  • Create test environments for all your applications.
  • Monitor and manage your application environment.

Using this tutorial, you can learn how to test your SOA composite applications locally in your SOA Quick Start environment and then deploy them to Oracle SOA Suite Cloud Service. Because this cloud service uses the same Oracle SOA Suite software that you use for your on-premises applications, you can use the same tools in the cloud.
