NEW: April 2016 - Upgrading to SOA Suite 12c: Tips and Best Practices from Engineering, Customers and A-team

(For those of you who have already upgraded to 12c, or are planning to in the next 12 months, please fill out our survey.)

Recording for this popular webinar are now available for download.

In this webinar, we put together a panel to share tips, tricks and best practices for upgrading to SOA Suite 12c. By now, many customers have made this transition, but there are still a very large base of 11g installations. This session shared real world experiences and lessons learned from those who have been down this path to those who will follow. As usual, we had an active panel with brief, focused presentations and pointers to much more content which can be digested following the session. On the panel were the SOA product management/engineering team responsible for the upgrade, and partners describing the easiest and hardest parts of their upgrades, as well as very vigorous Q&A via the chat interface. We are now working on compiling the chat discussion into a consolidated Q&A document and will publish that here when available.

Included on the panel or available for chat questions:

• Antony Reynolds and Jay Kasi from the Oracle Service and Cloud Integration prod mgmt team, responsible for SOA Suite 12c upgrades, providing an overview and best practices for upgrade and describing a customer case study
• Danilo Schmiedel of Opitz, an Oracle ACE Director talking about lessons learned and best practices from a 12c upgrade experience
• Deepak Arora of the Oracle A-Team with some upgrade recommendations
• David Shaffer of Middleworks, moderating and providing a list of additional resources
• Kathryn Lustenberger from the Oracle Service and Cloud Integration prod mgmt team responsible for this series
• Vamsee Goruganthu from the Oracle QA team, responsible for SOA Suite 12c upgrade QA

January 2016 - Tips and Tricks for Oracle SOA Suite by Oracle A-Team, Engineering, and Customers

Recording and slides[PDF] for this popular webinar are now available for download.

In the webinar, we delivered an expanded version of the Oracle OpenWorld 2015 "Tips and Tricks for Oracle SOA Suite" session, which is always delivered to a packed room! Thanks to the webinar format, we were able to provide a little more time to each of the speakers and topics.

Our speakers were:

• Joe Kardamis from The Sherwin-Williams Company, talking about agile development methodology with SOA
• Antony Reynolds from the Oracle Service (SOA) & Cloud Integration Product Management team, talking about error handling and managing your dehydration store
• Sherwood Zern of the Oracle A-Team with some common issues seen in Oracle Service Bus implementations
• David Shaffer of Middleworks, sharing tips from the SOA engineering team on working with large schemas in JDeveloper's XSLT mapping tool

The content for this session is fast, focused and highly technical, with extra materials and links to documentation provided in the slides for attendees future reference. If you are working actively with the Oracle SOA Suite, we guarantee you will walk away with some truly useful information!

We are hoping this webinar will be the first of many and we plan to expand this into a webinar series to create a more robust information sharing community around SOA Suite, including the Oracle product management and engineering teams, A-team, customers and partners.
