Introduction to SOA Composite Application Automated Testing Introduction to Partitioning of the SOA Infrastructure

1-22 Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle SOA Suite and Oracle BPM Suite Once you create a partition, you can perform the following tasks: ■ Deploy SOA composite applications into the partition using Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control, Oracle JDeveloper, WebLogic Scripting Tool WLST commands, or ant commands. ■ Access the partition and its deployed composites through the navigation tree. ■ Perform the following bulk lifecycle management tasks on the composites in a specific partition: – Start all composites – Shut down all composites – Undeploy all composites – Retire all composites – Activate all composites – List all composites For more information, see Section 8.10, Grouping SOA Composite Applications into Partitions.

1.5 Administration for Application Developers

If your role is that of an application developer, manage and test SOA composites using a combination of Oracle JDeveloper and Fusion Middleware Control. See the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developers Guide for Oracle SOA Suite to develop SOA composite applications with Oracle JDeveloper, and refer to the following sections to deploy, monitor, and initiate a test instance of the composite application with Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control: ■ Chapter 5, Deploying SOA Composite Applications ■ Chapter 7, Monitoring SOA Composite Applications ■ Section 8.1, Initiating a SOA Composite Application Test Instance To create and model business processes using Business Process Management Notation and Modeling BPMN within Oracle Business Process Management, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Modeling and Implementation Guide for Oracle Business Process Management. Note: Partitions are not associated with a particular state such as started, stopped, activated, or retired. Only the composites within the partition are associated with a particular state. Therefore, you cannot start, stop, activate, or retire a partition.
