Validate Payment

Building up on my previous blog post.
Typical scenario: Validate Payment service



                                                                                                   High Level Design

Ingridients for the Design soup:
1. Docker
2. Oracle Application Gateway - OAG
3. Oracle Service Bus - OSB

I won't delve into Docker as it is pretty straightforward to install and configure.
Pick your distribution: CentOS, OEL etc.
OAG is the topic of the next blog post :)
OSB is running in the Docker containers - HA, DR
OSB service configuration is pretty straighforward as well and fairly typical:
1. Create Business Service pointing to the real ValidatePayment Composite app running on SOA infrastructure cluster.
2. Create Pipeline
3. Create Proxy Service

 Now Service Bus is acting as a router and simple transformer here.
SOA composite (BPEL/ Mediator) is acting as an orchestrator and enricher.


                                                                                      OSB Proxy Service Configuration

The implementation is of medium complexity and there is nothing to add here.
I have seen many implementations of the same service in Banking and Finance projects and most of the time it is overworked to the point of disbelief :)
My approach is KISS.

Fight for the Light within

Finally I understand. Or it seems that I do. There is no Attainment. My whole approach to life around me was and is wrong. The energies around me is not be controlled, they are to be adapted to and allowed to freely pass without interferring. John Lennon sang about it in his 'Fool on the Hill'. But his main theme was somewhat passive and reflective - 'See the world going round'. The true mastery is when you are riding the never ending 'merry-go-round' of life energies like a surfer - using high waves to propel you forward to the shore of your goals and destiny.  Inevitably will be the times when I will fall and will have to climb back on my board and attempt to catch the next wave.  Will be the times when I will be scared by the magnitude of the wave coming towards me and possibly the sharks swimming nearby.  I will see other people drowning and not reaching the shore and shouting to me: 'Its hopeless we will all drown'. Will be times...

Locomotive Breath

Living through the transition period is quite extradionary. We all kinda know and anticipate the outcome but not in a position to do anything about it. Like watching your train leaving the station and taking you for a ride. Matrix showed us the final result with humans being used to power machines. We all in one or the other way using our own energies to breathe the life in cold metal - building networks, programming and maintaining computers. They getting smarter and smarter and we are all excited about the possibilities of artificial intelligence. But the train will arrive to the next station and it will be our turn to get off. The train will be smart enough to move on its own without us. The train will be smart enough to look for sources of alternative energy if we try to stop it.

F5 APM

I have been playing with F5 LTM APM since 2012 and noticed that it is getting popular and more prominent. The easy interface and configuration makes a tool of professional choice. I have advising many network teams on how to configure and properly use F5 with different vendors IAM. It is even more important as F5 has Virtual Edition meaning you can design your private cloud IAM and enjoy F5 SSO to your protected apps. The trick is to make sure you have license for the Application Policy Manager - APM. As you can see from the screenshot above once APM is licensed it is just one pull-down from the menu. You can configure F5 to be your SAML IDP or SP the choice is limited to your imagination. In the next posts I will walk through typical SAML SSO setup with Oracle Access Manager Stay tuned :)
