Oracle SOA Governance 11g: Lifecycle Management

An important component of SOA is the ability to show true business value and efficiency. Therefore it is critical that the IT organization gains visibility and control over all project assets in the enterprise, including design artifacts and services. A unified approach to SOA governance also ensures compliance with architectural standards, maximum reuse and accurate decision-making.

This course trains SOA architects and project managers on the use of Oracle Governance products, including Oracle Enterprise Repository and Oracle Service Registry. Students learn how to organize, manage and monitor reusable assets throughout the entire SOA lifecycle, from design and development to testing and production.

Learn to:

• Describe the various forms governance takes in the SOA enterprise
• Track asset usage and business value across the enterprise
• Model project artifacts using custom asset types
• Exchange artifacts across an SOA repository and UDDI registries
• Develop a rich taxonomy to categorize and classify assets
